Future Series Staples

[Loony BoB]

Chocobos, Mogs, Airships, Cid... there are a bunch of series staples in the Final Fantasy series. Even many of the weapons, summons and even the music can be found in multiple games. So... what element that is not yet recurring would you like to make a comeback in a game or two?

Oddly, despite me not holding FFVIII as the best game of the series, most of my picks are from there. I would love to see the return of the Moomba and the Shumi Tribe in another game, likewise I wouldn't mind Triple Triad making a return.

You?

I don't know if this counts, but I'd like to see Zidane's thief swords used again. They're pretty interestingly designed weapons, and quite cool, too, yet only IX uses them so far. I guess you could say they're Zidane-specific weapons, but even then, I still would like to see another game giving us the option of using them.

There's always Chrono Cross.

I agree. Dancer is one of my favorite job classes, but it has yet to be presented consistently in its sporadic appearances across the series.

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.

Both Mysidias are required at some point in their game.

Also there need to be more pupu and qu.

Ditto. Some more great optional locations: Shumi Village and Daguerreo. Really, really great places with enjoyable side quests and chillin' atmospheres. FFVI nailed optional content like 15 years ago - I'd like to see some of that on the all-powerful PS3 please, SE.

Also dancing girls in towns.

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.

I actually like the Mark system from XII, but I want it presented like XII did it (from the beginning and goes through the whole game, not this last minute quest crap FFX and XIII) but I would scale it down and just make it one of many quests/side missions and not the only major one in the game. It would be easy to attach story segments to these types of quest, to flesh out the cast or introduce optional locations.

More team up abilities, Palom and Porom had it going and its sad we had to wait five games later to get Magic Sword in FFIX. It doesn't have to be as extensive as Chrono Trigger's or Suikoden's systems but just getting a few perks from having certain party combinations is a fun mechanic very few games really utilize.

Really? Well, I ended up in Mysidia in II at the start of the game and was stuck there because I was too weak to run back.

FF II tells you that you went the wrong way by having the monsters kill you.

You go to Mysidia much later in the game.

Haha, I did what Jiro did too and had to go back to an earlier save. I'm back in Mysidia now though. Still early, I think, as I can't really do much at the moment. I'm supposed to be storming a castle or something but I got distracted.
