7 is my favourite but 8 wasnt all that bad if nobuo uematsu could be in that form, Tetsuya Nomura make the chars a lot less annoying chars and differ from ppl like Zidane and Tidus but dont make them too cold like Cloud/Squall more char evolution the level up system and ATB system return and well have a great game also involve side quests including the return of weapons eg ruby sapphire diamond emerald Ultima and Omega
