Final Fantasy XIII Wish List

[Ultros0]

bring back the turn-based fighting. bring back control of the airship's flight. More than one world ( a moon or an underground or a separate reality ). Characters that have color: some funny, some mean and sarcastic, some down to earth, some not-so-downtoearth, some funny lookin, etc... Characters i can get to know and care about. A villian that you think is good for a portion of the game, then you realize you've been doing everything he wanted. Bring back the old Summons... this isn't Tactics, so i don't want to see Tactics summons. Moogles that talk or at least make noises.

[Ashley Schovitz]

How about some sarcasm? I haven't seen an actual sarcastic character so far.
And a tank for crying out lout. Gotta have a tank that you can use and keep. That would just be evily fun.

I thought Paine was quite sarcastic. Even if the main character won't be female I still would want turned based fighting with random encounters and battle music. I wish also for another Goofy boss battle like Tonberry King, He did an attack called Junk I think that made pans, Tv's and other junk fall on the party. Laser cannon chocobos would also be cool.

Alright, here goes

>WORLD MAP!!!<
I want to fly my dam airship around. Not too much more to add to this one that hasn't already been said.

>Reduction in 'pansy' and 'wimpy' characters<
I don't play video games to see people I would look down upon if I met in real life, I want to see really badass characters up there wrecking whatever they come against. Obviously they can be complex and no one dimensional, but I shouldn't be left wondering how on earth they could manage to put up a decent fight based on their story established personality. There is no way we should have Random Kid #54 in the same party as Legendary Hero and Warrior Trained From Young Age. At least give me some reason they are so amazing (genetic experiments, son of hero, chosen one, less cliché example, the list goes on....)

I hate people that think they're superior to others it adds variety and realism I hate the word pansy too, do you think your mindless bickering will make Square change the games they make? Of course they won't! It's frivolous to try especially when you can't see an artist's artistic form and beauty which is what the FF staff makes. If it's getting cliche it's because FF started the cliche, there are no legendary heroes in FF in recent years maybe in past old skool ones that I haven't played like I,II,III,V, and VI.

I'm not playing a game to experience artistic form and beauty; I’m playing games to have fun. If said form and beauty interferes with my enjoyment of the game, then I can't say I approve.

Do I realistically think I think anything I say hear will affect SE in the least? Of course not. Where would you get that idea? I was asked for my wish list (see: opinion), and I gave it. Just because it's different than yours no need to get upset. You may well see a character as well rounded and developed, and I may regard the same character as a pansy. It's a mater of perspective, not right or wrong. (Hence me using pansy in quotation marks).

As for examples of why the heroes would be strong:
(SPOILER)I: Legendary Hero
IV: Son of Lunarian
V: Son of Warrior of Dawn
VI: Half Esper
VII: Subject to Janova and Mako experimentation
IX: Created as a genome with a soul to destroy Gaia
I would expect if a hero was amazingly strong for non lineage reasons they would most certainly have to have devoted most of their life to training, if they are just going to pick up a sword one day and be amazing there better be a good explanation behind it.


And on a side note, ultimately SE makes games to make money.

But artistic form and beauty IS fun. At least in Final Fantasy it is. And thats always been one of the major things in every Final Fantasy game. If a pure - different kind of - fun is what you want, you probably shouldnt be playing an RPG at all.

[VeloZer0]

Guess I should try to re-communicate that.
I feel game developers should focus on making enjoyable games, not on the form and beauty of the games. Said form and beauty exist to support the basic premise of being enjoyable. I never feel that a design teams artistic vision should compromise the enjoyability of a game to its fans.

Not sure what the pure fun you allude to is, I'm assuming some sort of simpler gaming experience. I deliberately said enjoy in my posts to emphasize the critical factor is the feeling you walk away from the game with. As for myself, I love being involved in the adventure; and that is going to be significantly dampened if I take a disliking to the game's primary character. If I'm asking myself 'is this someone I want to hear about' and the answer is no, how invested do you think I can get into the story?

Moogles...lots and lots of moogles...maybe have all playable characters be moogles...just lots of them

Moogles...lots and lots of moogles...maybe have all playable characters be moogles...just lots of them

Since this game is looking all tech like. Robot moogles is the next logical step.

[Markus. D]

Just a good storyline overall with intricate character development between the main hero/es and the villian/s.

[Wolf Kanno]

Plot wise?

No love story... FFVII-FFX has milked it too much and besides, Xenogears did it the best so there really is no point...

I want characters to have well written growth. Not, "Let me talk about my problems..." I deal with this in real life, I don't need to have artificial beings complaining to me about their problems.

A large cast that isn't filled with "throw away" characters. I need more than six or seven people. I also would like some attention be given to them. I'm not asking for over the top dramatic character interaction every time we go into a cutscene, but at least a well thought out purpose and personality that makes them feel distinct.

I want to have a real world, like FFXII's except with a real world map. I need detail and I need to want to care about the world itself. Please don't make another interactive movie like FFX.

I also feel it's finally safe to go back to killing party members in the middle of the story. It was an FF tradition in FFII-FFVII (though FFVI skipped it) and I feel that it's time to put it back into full swing.

I want a cast that is older than 17. In fact I want the main players to be older than 21. Please no more kids... We're trying to save the world, not babysit some obnoxious kid...

stfu, If they robotize my moogles I'll hold you personally responsible.
HaHa. Actually, that is pretty interesting. Berserker Robot Mog could be fun, in theory.

New Game+ would be nice for once.
Alternative endings would be even better.
