Oh so many things.

  • Moogles
  • Female party member
  • Cities to explore (sorry XV, you were weak in this regard)
  • A really damn great combat system (if you're gonna go action combat, go all-in, aim for something on par with actual action games, not middling action combat like XV and yes, even 7 Remake, which was better but still a joke compared to the likes of DMC and Bayonetta)
  • Fantastical environments. This is actually one of the big things from the admittedly only 4 minutes long first trailer. I really want something more than just European medieval with magic, European medieval is boring.
  • A new and refreshing level-up/skill system. I'm kinda over the whole "gain points and put them in this fairly linear skill/stat tree" thing that they've had in X, XII, XIII and XV. Alright, XII's wasn't that linear, but still.


well, there's more, but those are the ones that popped in my mind in quick succession.
