The Defining Trait

[Wolf Kanno]

What do you feel is the defining trait of every entry in the FF series? Like do you feel FFV's is it's job class system, or VII's story, or X's battle system. Which trait defines the game to you, the element you think of first when you think about a particular FF game.
