Well, I was reading in the FFXIII thread, and sparked an unusually long response in one of my posts. Still, it was short however, and that got me thinking about the things I really wanted to see (but never did) in FF. So, what have you wanted to see in FF and why? I'll list mine for the heck of it, and don't take this as b****ing or whining, I like the games how they are. These are just a few things I'd like to someday see in the game.


#1, I've always wanted MULTIPLAYER to come back. Since FF6 had it, I was addicted and would always play it with my friend after school and had some good memories.

#2, There have been certain characters that I've really wanted to see, but haven't seen one, or one that fit the bill quite right. It was mentioned before, but I would personally love to see a front line fighting girl (Tifa wasn't an intimidating fighter). She reminded me of barbie. A girl that (as stated before), is a very good fighter but still retains her female side and grace (and heaven forbid, beauty). I mean like, I want to see a graceful looking lady with a sword (not Cloud sword, but more like a shorter Sephiroth's sword) that has a lot of strength as a fighter, and maybe a little magic power too.

#3, I DON'T WANT TO EVER SEE ANOTHER LOVE STORY AGAIN!!! I hate love stories, and I think that they should only be optional for the player. Also, to add, I'd love to see it possible to have multiple outcomes for romances. Say, (using FF7 as an example), Cloud could work on a relationship with Yuffie. It'd be awkward, but amusing.

#4, Another Zidane-esque main character. At least, one that's not really messed up. I want to see the main character as a 20 year old guy who has a decent life and joins an army. But his country is corrupt, so he has to decide on what is right.

#5, I want to see a really stupid (mentally) person in an FF (not Rikku). I mean like, Kelso from that 70's show, stupid. A real comic relief.

#6, I think it'd be cool if you could make your own character and obtain them as a side quest, so that the story isn't ruined. Midget with a hammer!!

#7, different weapons. *thinks of Quistis and her sexy look* *drools, bzzztttt!!!* (keyboard shorts out). *Logs in another computer*. But seriously, I want someone that just has a pouch full of bombs, and he uses those bombs to chuck at enemies. Or an archer. What the hell happened to the archers?

#8, I want to see an FF where two of the main characters are already married. Doing a marriage skit between the two would be fun stuff.

#9, (most of all), I want to see an FF with ordinary-ish people. Just regular peasants that decide to rally together in a good cause. I don't want to listen to how someone is supernatural and chosen or a mutated science project gone mad, I just want a regular guy or girl that gets pissed off one day and decides to fight. That would be the people's Final Fantasy, and one we can all relate to well.

These are my thoughts, now time for yours.
