I liked that Final Fantasy Tactics was about humans and demons, not the fanciful races of ancient Ivalice working together in harmony.

When I was younger, I used to think that there was potential in a sequel involving Arazlam Durai, wherein he discovers some type of conspiracy -- something like The DaVinci Code -- in the modern Ivalice.
Did you play FFTA? Did you somehow miss the dictatorial government manipulating facts and enslaving people in a mad scheme to hold on to a fracturing power base? Does dragging an entire town to prison, purging the entire citizenry just because there's a chance a fugitive might be there, count as "working together in harmony"? Did the disenfranchisment of the public and brewing rebellions against the crown somehow not count?

Not to mention either the escapism theme that dealt with the characters from our world, or the JudgeWatch bonus arc, which was bloody brilliant.
