I'm not expecting a "second coming", but I am expecting:


  • Something with relatively thought-provoking stories and characters. Preferably with themes I can relate to as a young adult, not a teenager;
  • A battle / equipment system that can be enjoyed casually, but also allows the player to get deep into customization and strategies if they want to;
  • I want to see a large range of beautiful, atmospheric landscapes and environments to explore;
  • The illusion of an open world. I like the game to give me direction in a linear way, but I still would like more room to explore than compared to Final Fantasy XIII;
  • A quality soundtrack, though I'm never really disappointed with Square's talent in that department; and
  • As Del said, fun!


I guess that might be a bit vague and generalized, but there's not really much information to go on in the first place.
