I just jumped onto this thread and read the extremely dated responses, so I decided to ressurect the issue.
The main reason I want to see a FFT sequel is because of the story. FFTA is great and everything if you liked tactics purely for the gameplay, I on the other hand liked the story. I liked the political intrique with the church conspiracy, I liked the backstabbing and short lived alliances. Frankly, kids getting sucked into a book and the intro battle being a snowball fight was.... less than impressive.
I've played games like Disgaea and la pucelle, etc.
I'm really getting tired of these silly immature plots. Those kinds of plots are fun from time to time but it's getting old fast.
I mean the only game that came close plot wise was tactics ogre and where that matched in story, it failed miserably in gameplay.
I don't know, I'm just tired of these kiddy, uber-anime drawn, cookie cutter tactical games that are popping up. I mean in the case of the la pucelle/ disgaea games they even recycled the voice actors. The only difference between the two games is that colored stripe system which I found to be completely LAME. Well, I wont turn this into a flame Atlas post.
All I'm saying is that it's mostly the mature storyline, LACK of anthropomorhic animal people, and simple yet refined game play that make us want a TRUE sequel to this game.
