Future Series Staples

[Laddy]

Frocobos.

[Kaie]

Somewhat off topic, but optional towns. The Final Fantasy series has you go everywhere but there have been, on occasion, nice places which are completely optional.

Wutai, one of the Mysidias, these sorts of places that are there but aren't required at any point.

Basically, I want more sidequests and more optional areas.

Agreed. I also like the idea of Moombas returning, they were pretty cute.

I'd also like to see the return of Edgar's castle in some form

I would die laughing if it just popped up one day randomly to say hi.

Whoa. This got me thinking about references, which naturally got me thinking about FF9. I've always wondered what the point of Kuja having an underground castle in the desert was...

My mind is officially blown.

Mine now too

[Jiro]

xD smurf add another to that. How did I not think of that before!?

[Hollycat]

Im shocked!

[Depression Moon]

I'd love to see the Moombas come back, I also liked having the control of Critical hits with Squall's gunblade, maybe more interactive elements in combat to make battles more engaging.

I want Zidane's thief skills, the thief is an okay class unless they give them some BS stats and weapons like Locke and Zidane but I genuinely loved Zidane's thief skills, especially "What's That?!" and his ability to see what item an enemy is carrying, makes stealing way more efficient.

Hold on a minute. Somebody's actually used "What's That!?" more than once?

It's useful to get some free turns in, or to do extra damage with Melee attacks.

Hell yeah. My last playthrough of IX, I decided to try using everything. You would be surprised how many of Zidane's moves work on thinks. His Soul Blade move can cripple some of the games early bosses and Annoy works better than I thought it would.

[Depression Moon]

I'm a bit surprised. I don't think I've touched the move since my first playthrough about 11 years ago.

On topic, I wouldn't mind seeing moombas again. I actually thought that they appeared in more than one game when I came on this site years ago because of the moogle and chocobo icons are reoccurring creatures I assumed Moomba was too and Lulu in X had them as dolls for some weapons too. It would also be cool to see another gang of thieves.

[Mercen-X]

Pictomancers.

DID YOU JUST MAKE THIS UP?

but optional towns.
Basically, more sidequests and optional areas.

But they have to tie-in somehow like with Yuffie and the Pagoda (really didn't care about Corneo)
I really wished Vincent had had a sidequest though.

Yes moombas. I too loved more interactive combat. I think that double-slash should return and be more controllable. I also like the ammo system from VIII and XII although XII took it more seriously.

I love hunting, but I don't want to make a career out of it otherwise I'd be playing Monster Hunter, and I agree it's an excellent opportunity to delve into character background and unexplored areas. The whole of the world shouldn't have to be tied in to the plot in order to explore it freely.

I kind of liked Arc the Lad's team up system, but I hated that it was limited to two characters. If I have three characters capable of team up and all are in range then those same damned three characters should participate. I would prefer the attacks to change slightly with the team up, but that would depend on what action is taken.

Zidane's thief skills, thief class is okay but I genuinely loved Zidane's thief skills, especially "What's That?!" and his ability to see what item an enemy is carrying, makes stealing way more efficient.

ME!
again, I agree that being able to "see" what the enemy has (or more accurately "upgrading what can be stolen") is awesome. I've also always liked Sense, Morph, and Manipulate particularly when an enemy's ability can be learned by a member of the party.

Moomba... Lulu in X had them as dolls for some weapons too. It would also be cool to see another gang of thieves.

I wouldn't mind seeing a character with an odd fighting style like Wakka or Lulu incorporating personal items like dolls and balls in combat.

off-topic wants Red XIII wore trinkets in combat, but I always wished it was easier to see them, because most characters weapons looked different when you used different ones, but unless you saw a really close-up pic of Red, you would never notice his equipment.
I also think that if armor is given a distinct appearance in a game (a drawn depiction in the menu), that's how it should look on your character, instead of it just disappearing.

Pictomancer is Relms job. She is the only one in the series.

Also What's That!? makes the enemies turn around and sets their ATB to zero.

[Vermachtnis]

Monks, cause sometimes you just wanna kick things.

[Depression Moon]

Also I had thought that Gau's job was interesting whatever it is. I'm too lazy to google it right now. I wouldn't definitely mind seeing it again.
