    Default Things which didn't become series staples, but should have

    So we all know about Chocobos and Moogles and the moon often being important and so forth, but what about stuff that was in one or two games but did not go on to become regular occurrences? For example, the Hummingways in FF IV seem like exactly the kind of thing that would show up more often, but they don't (though the rabbit-varient Moogles aren't a million miles away from them).

    Valefor! Kind of a one-off summon from FFX, but I loved her! She's so pretty. I wish she was incorporated more into the series. It's also really nice to have a non-elemental summon besides Bahamut.

    Elves.

    They show up once and are mysteriously never heard from again, except in reference to the Dark variety, once...and I guess in the online games or something?

    Why no Elves? Did they get fed up with the dwarves' trout and leave? Never commented on.

    The thing that always comes to mind for me is the concurrent scenario chapter early in Final Fantasy VI. They never did anything like that again, and I'm not really sure why.

    I wouldn't have minded more multiplayer games like Final Fantasy VI and Crystal Chronicles, but I don't know if I'd want that as a staple.

    Not enough characters, I'd wager

    Came in here to mention Moombas. Though, weren't they created through some fashion that was unique to FFVIII's world. Like some weird science experiment or their form of reincarnation or something? It's been so long since I played that game, but I remember there was something fishy about their intelligence and stuff that was explained late in the game

    Edit: On that note, I think it'd be nice to have more of Red XIII's race presented and explored

    Well hey, maybe you forgot something, now you get content/inspiration. Also you can quote opinions from here if you want. Or whatever. Win/win or something :P
