Hmmm...I can think of a couple off the top of my head...

NINJAS!!! In most of the FFs where there's a specific ninja in the party, said character has kicked ass. I don't know why they don't have a ninja as main character...Why not give that a go? Make a FF world that's more based in a eastern world?

Mash/Sabin's Blitz ability! While certain characters have had similar abilities within their Desperation Attack/Limit Break/whatever, but it's never been like Mash/Sabin...Yeah! Street Fighter moves as Final Fantasy abilities! What's not to like? Oh, yeah, the tons of idiots that could never manage Pummel in that first fight...

There's only disc now for most games simply because PS2 disks are probably more advanced in terms of technology. What do I miss? Well, nothing. Final Fantasy is still around, so why would I? Each game I play is still a true Final Fantasy so...there :/

Well, PS2 discs are DVDs, so they hold a larger amount of information than the previously used CD format...so...yeah...PS3 obviously uses Blu-Ray, right? Whatever...

I agree!!

I really do miss the great storylines.

Hmm... I wonder if SquareEnix changed their writers.

WOW....You really like kicking ppl asses!!

About the missin shit you were talking about Iris..Hmmm...I miss the old fighting system,the way the summons come and shoot the flames or w/e and the way the members act when they won a battle. but you have to know that every FFgame got some great advantages, in this game you have to find the advatanages by yourself coz it's still a FF game you know.

I actually liked the Quickning crap.

If that exchange occured in person, you'd have been met with a long, awkward silence.

I also miss...you know...actually liking the characters. Well, I wouldn't mind having characters that I hate as long as I find them interesting. The characters on FFXII were just sorta...there. I didn't give a damn about 'em.
