I'm really not sure where I would want the series to go from here. The few interesting ideas I can think of for them to go would turn off a majority of players and then I would have to listen to them groan about how it isn't an FF.

First thing, I would cut all ties to Nojima.

I guess I would have them pull the plug on the VII Compilation cause its more embarrassment than awsomesauce and just make a PS3 remake of VII so fanboys will shut up about it until they make the next console generation. Also, because it is what all the fans really wanted anyway.

I feel the Ivalice Alliance needs to make another Tactics game built in the same vein of the original FFT or XII. I'm starting to have doubts they can pull off an Ivalice title without Matsuno.

I would probably want a future FF to continue the work of XII and move away from cheesy melodrama, plots that are more about plot twists (even if they don't really make sense or contradicts itself), flashy cutscenes and stop making love stories the main focus of their plots. I want more mature and thought provoking plot and characters, not just a slightly new flavor of the same RPG cliches.

Game wise, I just want an open world to explore that's big and doesn't feel fenced in. Horrible attention to detail, cause I get a kick out of that stuff. I want battle systems that are built around using strategy and I want enemies that force me to use it. I want my games challenging and I need less hand holding. Sometimes, I don't want to do the plot, I just want to explore so let me have my moments.

I'll think of more later, but right now I have a headache.
