These aren't dealbreakers for me AT ALL and I can think of exceptions to a lot of them, but these are the ones that irk me. Possibly not the worst seven things ever but seven that popped into my head right now, and that's good enough, right?

- Kiddy Heroes. I'm talking 12 and under. A ten year old saving the world is not realistic. And even if they're 13-16, they still shouldn't be able to outmuscle a 25-30 year old.

- No traversable world map. I WANT MY TRAVERSABLE WORLD MAP. I'm not here to be told I can only travel upon a persistently uneventful, bland road that goes from one place directly to another. That's not realistic at all. This is an RPG, and I should have the ability to experience the travels and whatnot as well as the towns and dungeons.

- Only three characters. I hate it when there are less than six characters, really.

- Absolutely No Comedic Moments. I mean, come on. We're here to have fun!

- Time Travel. Unfortunately this is incredibly common in RPGs.

- Silent Protagonist. If everyone else can talk, I want my lead character to be able to talk, too.

- Fighting Sidequests. For all the defending I do for FFXIII, it still irks me that the one thing I could do aside from fight was ... oh, fight.
