What about...originality...for a change ?
I'd honestly be fine with whatever throwback we get in the next tier, but if it ends up being Ultimecia's Castle I want Cid or someone to say something like "it's another castle, but not a princess in sight".
There are plenty of instances of originality in the game as is. All things considered, this is a final fantasy game that has liberally pulled from other inclusions in the series, as most of them have been mainstays for over 20 years. Something as simple as the Coeurl enemies have been around since FFII. Goblins were in FFI. Originality in this game comes in the form of class abilities, landscapes/zones, lore, and also enemies as can be seen with various beastmen, Ravanna, Susano, Thordan, Nabriales (and the other Ascians).
Most importantly, the Omegascape is designed by choice to pull from elements in the Squenix Universe.
Id also like to add that the original star ocean games, which are often forgotten as great games in their own right, could easily be used in something like the deltascape, but Im not going to hold my breath on that one.
Yes, it took inspiration from previous games, and cleverly incorporated these into its own lore...
Omega is not even clever, it's literrally the lazyest explanation, and people treat it like it's the best thing ever, to the point that the latest patch only selling point is fanservice.
Yazmat from ff12 if he doesn't show up in future ivalician raids.
Seifer from ff8 or Ultimecia (preferrably her final form)
Genesis from Crisis Core
A friend and I were talking about this last night, and I'm hoping for Garland and/or the Four Elemental Fiends
