Turn-Based Strategy Game Survey

Please rank the following attributes in order of importance when deciding on purchasing a turn-based strategy game (1=Most Important, 5=Least Important):
1- Story and characters
2- Battle engine complexity and flexibility
5- Options available (in-battle save, text speed adjustment, rename characters, etc.)
4- Graphics
3- Music and sound effects (Sorry, I'm a music lover)

Please pick the 2 best of the following choices that you would want most to see in a turn-based strategy game:
____ - Competitive online play
____ - Competitive offline play
____ - Branching paths that link back up after a couple battles in the game (Can't decide much on this)


Of the following two choices please indicate which would you rather have:
A) A party of self-made, personality-less characters but ultimate flexibility in choice of class (This, but maybe add a 'make your own background' feature like IWD?)
B) A party of full vibrant personalities and characters but with only a few sets or branches to choose from to grow them

A) A party of about 12 characters to control (If out of battle, this one)
B) A party of about 6 characters to control (If in battle, this one)

A) Every character having almost identical stats but the ability to grow them anyway (Can't decide)
B) Each character having pros and cons and classes designed towards enhancing that character’s personality (Can't decide)

Are there any options that you like or wish that every turn-based strategy game you’ve played should be required have? (such as text speed option, in-game battle save, turn-list, tutorial, etc.)

Everything FFT have I guess...
