I liked the characters. The story was neat. The battles weren't bad, although I do enjoy how every FF tends to have variations so I'm not sure I want them to continue with the same thing again. I think the maps could do with a bit more work, but not too much... nothing like XII, anyway. More sidequests would be nice. Even in chapter 11+, I didn't feel there was much to do than battle. I did like the shop system, but I think I'm in the minority there. I would like more interaction with NPCs and I would like the ability to jump. I don't expect to see the latter even in FFXV, though.
