Yep we probably all love some of FF's famous trademark characters, enemies, items, abilities and sayings...

Which ones are your favourite and why?

Which one you could live without?

And maybe some new suggestions and ideas?

Hmm, how bout a new revamped version of the dancer/bard class, releasing some deadly riffs on an electric guitar? Or inflicting badass status effects whilst doing some heavy screamo & moshing?.....:rolleyes:

i could absolutely live without marlboros because no matter how strong you are, if you dont have something to prevent status ailments...any random battle with them could be your last. they're so annoying i cant stand them, but honestly...i wouldnt be able to stand a final fantasy without them so im pretty impossible to please ^_^

Moogles are really cute but I only like the classical moogles. The moogles in the new Final Fantasy games just....don't look right. :/

My favorite Final Fantasy trade mark character though are Cactuars. Just the idea is so comical and cute. A angry, spastic, little cactus attacking you with 1,000 needles. I had fun encountering them even though in FFVIII they kept running away. >:/ It was fun battling Jumbo Cactuar. Even in FXII they were really cute.
 
IMO a Final Fantasy isnt a complete Final Fantasy without the trademark chocobos, moogles or Cid :P

They have to be present or IMO they arent complete and just seem empty lol.
 
Final Fantasy wouldn't be the same without Chocobos! They are one of my favorite things about the game, they're adorable. Moogles are another trademark to the Final Fantasy series that I would miss if they were taken out. They are an awesome little critter with a lot of intelligence. I like Cactuars but they can be very annoying in battle since they pretty much run away every time.

Then there is Cid, I don't really care if they kept Cid out or not really. I suppose it wouldn't be the same without him thought since there has been a Cid in pretty much every game so far. Oh and Malboros? They could be taken out of the game for all I care, I can't stand those things because all they do is make your party go crazy. Too many status ailments! They are quite a pain in the butt!

Double ditto, i hate the new mousy looking moogles (or the KH moogles). Gimme Mog or Stiltzken any day.

And the recurring FF trademark i like most is the tonberry ^_^ The moogles are uber cute and fun and such, but there's just something about being scared to death of a tonberry waddling up to you but going "awww" at its cuteness at the same time ^^ After the tonberries come the moogles though, i love those guys too.

As for suggestions...in FF games we've occasionally seen Tonberries that speak right? Well in a future FF game i'd like to actually visit a tonberry society, see how they function and stuff. But none of those godawful atrocities from XI, i refuse to accept that those hideous scaly things are tonberries >_<

Niiiiiice idea!

How bout a Marlboro society, on second thoughts no.....

I agree that the moogles in XII aren't up to the classic standards, but they are ok.

I quite like Bombs as well, only fight them if you think you'll defeat them in 3 moves....or BOOM! :P

Thanks ^_^

Erm...no malboro society >_< Ya know...XII didnt just make moogles less cute, but they made malboros wimpy tiny monsters.

Hmm, i'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but i quite like the overworld map and airships too.
 
Yeah, in all FFXII has changed a lot of typical FF trademarks, totally different moogles, no overworld, so you can't use your airship properly, wimpy marlboros & cactuars, no tonberries, no chocobo side quests and no trademark summons, what is the world coming to.....?
I did enjoy immensly though, not as a 'proper' FF, but as a really good game:P
 
I know, there's none of that fear you get when you run into a cactuar thinking "omgomgomg i hope i can run away in time."

Hey, i just thought of another classic FF staple: the classic black mage look. Vivi brought it back in IX...but...aside from IX and the oldschool ones...it's gone by the wayside. SE cant do that! Black mages look so cute and mysterious that way.
 
Black mages rule, there should be at least on in every FF, also Vivi was one of the best ever FF characters in FF!

I can't really imagine FFXIII having things like chocobos, moogles and classic black mages......:|

A new old skool, medieval themed FF for the ps3 would be awsome though.:D
 
Vivi was the greatest ^^ He was such an adorable little guy, but he was so badass.

I...cant see a new medieval FF for the PS3...now that SE puts Nomura at the helm for every project all we're going to get is boring anime crap. Our best hope for medieval RPGs (or outstanding ones in general) is Sakaguchi's company Mistwalker.

Oh...and duh, cant believe i forgot this: summons. And not the hideous new summons that XII has like Belias and Cuchalaim, i'm talking good classic ones like Bahamut and Ifrit.
 
Yeah, new summons seriously suck, they all look the same to me, they have no character....
Where is Odin? Shiva & Ifrit? Bahamut, the King of Dragons?
The only 'old skool' summon that i didn't really like was Carbuncle, i mean it was very cute, but it just didn't do alot....:P

 
the only things i know that have been in all of the ones ive played are the names cid, ragnorok,the mogs, the ultima weapon and a couplother thingsare the victory music and the fact that there isalways one things stronger than the final boss i couldnt do without any of these
 
I loved the moogles in XII! They were more realistic. As for the trademarks; Cid is a great addition within each game. Maybe he should be a playable character more often.
 
As much as I hate running into malboros, especially early in the game, it just wouldn't feel like Final Fantasy with out them. Same thing with Cactaurs and Tonberries.

Chocobo's also must be in the game. And a character named Cid and some kind of air ship.
 
Chocobos and moogle, how can you live (i.e. play the game) without them.
I mean, they've helped out the main party so much during the history of FF, that it's hard to imagine a prolonged absence of them from the series.

Now Marlboros I can live without, they're the toughest of the tough, and they're just out there to kill you in 2 seconds if you're not careful. Tonberry's are a bit more tolerable though.
 
I...i think you're right Hayate O_O How dare they leave them out! And they made the cactuars lame too T_T Oh well, better to leave the tonberries out than make them horrid scaly things like in XI.

Another thing that just seems too traditional to let go of is the whole "fire, fira, firaga" thing...it sounds so much cooler than just "fire 1, fire 2, fire 3"
 
In XII the Cactuars were girly and lame. I hated them. Plus, they were no where near as fast as they were supposed to be.
