What do you like in a final fantasy?

[Ender]

Jobs, and other character-building elements that allow me more ways to experiment with my party...I feel more "invested" in MY characters as opposed to just moving the game's characters through a story.

Beyond that, level design is really important to me. Levels that are interesting and fun to play through trump simply wandering through generic caves and castles put there to give you something to do. Graphics, music, and the types of monsters that appear all contribute to level design in addition to particular quirks or puzzles that are particular to that setting.

Those are my two biggest factors in how I ultimately feel about a FF game. I love great stories as well, but for me, for this series, it's not as important as the gameplay.

The character design and area design and the story and the gameplay and the secrets and the everything. Basically.

No, not that anyone is aware of I'm afraid. Though there is a manga running in Japan right now that acts as a prequel to FFXII

i like all of them in their own way. but i'd like to see more games where i can choose race, job, gender, and form groups, etc. yes, it sounds like the MMO, but it's more like a weave between those in the series that already have these options.

i like how each game is diffrent, and you never see the same charcters twice (exept Gilgamesh). It keeps the games fresh. But it kept a core theams and items to it, which make it easier to enjoy.

Beuty + Happiness + Sadness + Destruction + Death + Power + Action + Fantasy + Imagination + Unatural + Magic + Friendship + Love = Incredible story = Awesome game
Music also plays a very important role..

Do I have to say more?

[qwertysaur]

Storyline and originallity. Oh and music too. Don't forget character development. And chocobo's and moogles. Too much stuff too list...

[Nefarious_Virtue]

lets see..

Characters-must have great personalities and an in depth past
Story-a long,epic story filled with action, romance and tragedy. Many twists, turns and points where you are gagging fr more. Also with no annoying plot holes.
Voice acting-Need superb voice acting to beat FFXII, however try not to make the voices too american and without the poor translations *cough* FFAC
Battle System-I like too see a mix of random encounters and the battle system from XII, however try not to make the fight scenes too long ie. short introduction into the fight and make the classic FF victory poses only for the bosses.
Job System-I like to see the good ol class systems back where you pick a job and stick to it ie Black Mage, White Mage, Warrior, Rogue and at a certain level you can evolve the classes ie Black Wizard, White Wizard, Paladin, Ninja, Dark Knight, Samurai.
Villians-Very nasty villians who are completey bent at destroying the world and running over kittens. Following a classic forumula if you defeat one villian there will be a greater more evil vilian for you to defeat until you reach the ultimate villian
Weapons and Wardrobe-a great selection of clothing which will fit each class well and give the ability to edit head gear. Weapons need to be diverse, job specific and should suit the class aswell ie Ninjas get to dual wield, paladins with 1h/shield, dark knights and samurai with 2h, I would like to see Mages to dual wield with a staff and melee weapon like a dagger or hammer.
The World-a big epic world filled with diversity, i like to see the good old world map again with hidden locations.

Oh and yeah add the classic FF stuff like moogles, chocobos, airships and a guy name Cid
