#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.
Finally a kindred spirit! Where have you been?!
Add to the above quote that she duel wields longswords and is one of those females who hasn't evolved beyond the need of armor, or at the very least, concealing clothes. (in other words, a T-shirt and pants. Not a bra and panties.)
