I'm fairly easy to please. All I really want is for my character to be an adventurer again and for the story to avoid having literally every other quest involve the terms 'hope', 'a brighter tomorrow' and 'oppression'. Interacting with more characters who have a distinct personality and don't exist to constantly agree with each other on pretty much every front would be neat, too.

Whenever I look back at the cast of pretty much any other JRPG, the main cast are a lot more distinct. Many previous Final Fantasy games had playable characters who teamed up for the sake of a mutual cause but didn't necessarily get on well for much of the game. Steiner and Zidane in FFIX as well as Basch and Vaan in FFXII spring to mind. To say nothing of scenarios where relations between characters started off positive only to sour later on in the game as was the case with Gladio and Noctis from FFXV.
