How do you want Final Fantasy XV to be like?

[Miriel]

• Slightly futuristic fantasy setting, or perhaps steampunk-like. Anything but "ye olde medieval fantasy".

I would love it if Final Fantasy did a full on (traditional) Steampunk theme. Which would mean a 19th century backdrop infused with futuristic and fantastical elements. FFVI and FFIX had elements of steampunk, but neither one of them really went too far into that genre. I think it would be awesome to see characters totally decked out in Victorian era clothing with all the beautiful intricacies that a steampunk theme would add.

I also want to see waaaay more fantastical stuff in the games. I dislike how they have an opportunity to create a world that could be outrageously beautiful and insane and nothing like you would ever see in this world, but lately the FF crew seems more interested in making things as realistic as possible. Yeah, that sunset over the ocean looks awfully pretty, but I live by the ocean. I see sunsets like that all the time. Why not have something totally crazy like a world where the ocean is constantly changing colors. I dunno. Just more fantastical elements would be nice.

And please, no convoluted trying-too-hard battle systems. In fact, on the whole they need to stop making things so... laborious. I'd like there to be a little more carefree and humorous tone to the games. Which I guess ties in with the whole fantastical thing. If I were a game designer, I'd totally want to have fun with the world I'm helping to create. Make flowers turn into dragons, be able to catch stars, have there literally be a treasure chest with gold in it at the end of a rainbow. Fun stuff that would make the world fun to explore and make it worth saving.
