Your Ideas for a new Final Fantasy game

[black_eclipse]

SE seems busy on the current FF Projects. Final Fantasy XIV is having a complete reboot after the abysmal release. And what's disgusting? Another Final Fantasy XIII sequel! When will they release Versus XIII?

Leaving that aside, I'd like to hear your ideas on future FF games. Imagine yourselves as a developer and tell us what things would you like to happen on upcoming FF games.

Mine:

Plot - A dark premise could make a deep story. We know how the FFT plot went and it was perfect! A world full of corruption, greed, hatred and betrayal. And no cheesy romance like XIII and X please. A little romance may add some flavor but too much is just meh. A dark and gritty plot, to sum it up. It should have light moments too for comic relief.

Settings - A steampunk era just like in FFVI. We didn't really have much settings similar to VI. It's either a classic medieval FF's (I,II,III,IV,V,IX,XI,XII,XIV) or the futuristic ones (VII,VIII,X,XIII)

Characters - Everyone wants an Original character for every series. We don't want any emo ripoffs of Squall and Cloud. Maybe a sprinkle of them with a mix social skill of Zidane. An Anti-Hero would be a fresh breath of air and it would really mix well with a dark plot. Dark Hero + Dark Plot = WIN. IMO.

Soundtrack - Assuming Uematsu won't be returning anytime, you could suggest some similar composers. For me I would like a theme of dark,chaotic and depressing themes. Do you think Yamane Michiru could fit in the task? Or maybe something like this?:

To be honest I can imagine it as a boss theme. It feels chaotic and you can feel the adversary and danger similar to boss theme of IV,IX and X but more intense.

Gameplay - If Versus XIII's mechanic proves to be successful, we should stick with it. Final Fantasy = Kingdom Hearts style! A fast paced battle with real-time action, leaving you to think fast or just die idle. Or a turn-based with more depth and movement while waiting for commands gauge to get fulled. No random encounters similar to online FF's, XII. Exploration should be similar to XII. A lot of side stories, quest and unlockable is what everyone loved in FF's.


Some might disagree with my ideas but I'd like to hear yours. Thanks.

okay my two cents:

Plot: Alike to FFX, i think FFX had an excellent plot and setting where people lived in constant fear at the hands (Fins in this case) of SIN. It had a story so good that i think it has yet to be bested.

Character: the MC should be a Silent protagonist and you can name him, you might loathe the idea but i would definitely love it.

setting: a setting like FF7 or FFX would be great, oh and it would be cool if the Weapons (The ultra ass kicking Bosses) were part of the central plot just like Sin.

Mini-games: A new card game like the Triple Triad would be awesome and FF7 lots of mini-games during the game.

Sidequests: To get summons you must defeat them in battle (Like FF8 and FFXII), that the characters had their own sidequests so we can get more understanding of them, lots of optional dungeons and FFXII hunt quests.

Races: Lots of different races and that the party is composed of different races.

World map: A must, airships, ride chocobos, submarines things like that.

Battle System: Classic Turn based system the party composed of 5 characters on the field, no random encounters like in (Gulp) FFXIII.

All of this would make the ultimate FF for me.
