Favorite Final Fantasy and what you wish this game would take from it!

FFVIII Guardian Force

We can do summon battles and if we win we can augment our character using the summons traits, but since its a MMO we can only use one augment.

For example if we fight ifrit and win we can pick the ifrit GF and your character gets a extra boost in strength and fire resistance.

I really really like this idea :OOO

It'd be cool if we could level our summon alongside and choose which traits to reinforce.

Thank you, I wanted to make a thread about this, but feared the negative feedback.

I can't decide between posting my favorite or posting the feature I want most sooo...

I'll just make a list.

FFVI: The story was awesome, and also we need more fun stuff in the story...like the opera
FFVII: GOLDEN SAUCER!
FFVIII: Triple Triad
FFIX: Learning skills from equipment, Chocobo Hot & Cold, Trance
FFX: Sphere Grid style for traits, so you get a sphere grid and some spheres from quests and what have you, then you can choose traits to augment your class/job skills to make yourself more unique.
FFXI: If not the Tactics job system, this job system
FFXII: Gambits trolololo. No, just kidding. For real I would love Hunts/Marks...Faction leve NMs are sort of like hunts but I'd prefer if they were non-repeatable and could include cameos (Gilgamesh hunts too good!) Also the bestiary from the diary.
FFXIII: Uh...I didn't really like this game, but content-specific jump
FFTactics: Job system

^ all that would be awsome to have in some form in FFXIV. The sphere grid system could be to improve the jobs since they will not require leveling.

oooo, that's a good idea. We could level jobs up using a merit like system from FFXI. Except instead of Merit points it'd be 'sphere points' and you'd be able to use them on something like a sphere grid.

1. FFVI
2. Nothing. Don't put a magnificent solo gameplay in my MMO.

Oh come on, who wouldn't want to wreck sh*t up in a magitek? Or run over some lalafell? Either one is good.

I think he's right.
A lot of stuff was great in the past FF games, but it just won't really fit in here.
Great new stuff is NOT created by copy/paste of the ideas they already used in other FF games.
Do you really think FF would be such a well-known, popular series if they just used the concept of FF I over and over and over again?
Every Final Fantasy game is filled with some new ideas which weren't in the previous game.
That's what makes them unique.
And later, after months or years, it becomes known as what we call "typical Final Fantasy content".
If Yoshida's team implements all the stuff from previous FF games, I think they truly failed.
(and I'm not talking about references like certain weapons, monsters, or the chocobos, but entire systems like the Sphere Grid).

Yes, Final Fantasy does always seem to make each Final Fantasy truly unique. They do however share a lot of things. For a long time Every Final Fantasy had a random battle system. Tetra master, the gold saucer, and chocobo hot and cold minigame things could have the idea taken and simply change the name. Though I'm sure no one would be bothered by an exact copy of chocobo hot and gold or one of our past card games.

Things like the sphere grid; I don't think people expect an exact copy of. Even though Square enix does redesign their ideas every Final Fantasy, ever since Final Fantasy X, every single player Final Fantasy has used a system that was simply a modification of the sphere grid (Liscence board, Crystarium). When I say I'd like to see a sphere grid I don't mean, GIVE ME SPHERE GRID, I mean give me FFXIV's version of it and make it unique and fit in the world.

Sorry for double post ; ; I was replying as I read.
