I really think that SE should drop FF at XIV or XV and start a new series.

No random encouters would be swell, and I'm all for it. Real time fighting would be fun also, or real time events. The making use of older characters (like Tellah, Cyan, and Cid) would be nice to see. I mean, sure, there's Auron or Steiner, but the main people are always 18. Anyway, we'll see what happens.
