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

Favorite FF: FFVII

Although FFVII is my fave, I don't have anything I'd bring over from it. But I do like how money was gained in FFXI and FFXIII, through farming item drops from mobs, and that's how it should've been in FFXIV as well. Collecting money from leves makes the gil worth less and less every time a leve is completed because money is continuously added to the economy instead of traded among players like it should be and is in FFXI, and even in WoW. Sorry if this topic has already been brought up.

Edit: Yay I'm first post on page 6 lol!

1. FFX
2. Deep storyline with characters that I care about

Favorite FF?
-I like too many different features from a few of the games to be able to choose one.

What to put in?
-Something like Memoria from FFIX as a dungeon. We have these Echo powers that let us see a person's past events, how about some jumbled up side effect of this feature to create another realm out of it? Make it happen!

Favorite FF: FFXI

What I Liked:

-Equipment based Abilities: Before finding out how the armory system worked I thought that player abilities would be based off their equipment, Which is very similar to the FF tactics of learning abilities from weapons. Unfortunately there is already a system for abilities and thus it is not likely to be implemented.

-A job system: I enjoyed the job system of many of the FF games, and approve of the actions SE is taking to help define character roles. However I do feel that simply adding the Jobs in with classes is a hack solution, and wish that SE would take more time and consider other options. Jobs should be the overall role of the player at the time, not dependent on what weapon they're using.

-GFs from FFVIII: Made the game alot of fun and could be implemented later in the development process. Could be extremely awesome if implemented correctly.

-Materia from FFVII: I really enjoyed the support materia and linking materia for different effects. We will see how well the materia system for FFXIV turns out, which I am very excited for.

The Party Build System from FFXI: While reverse party making may work at times, searching for people to start up a spontaneous party was much easier in FFXI. It might go a fair way in introducing newcomers to those with experience.

An involving storyline: From all FFs. All FFs have had interesting storyline, and I'm looking forward to what will be added by SE.

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).

its funny because they did reuse ff1 over and over and over lol even look at ff11 same jobs and everything

[Atoli]

Same jobs, with countless differences concerning gameplay, story, etc.
Like I said, reference is okay, but not "throw everything I ever liked about any FF game together and think something good will be the result!"
Because it wouldn't be.

1. FF-Tactics: Job system

2. FF8: Triple triad

3. FF12: Mark Board

To name a select few.

[Mural]

i would say chocobo racing from ff7. job system from ff tactics and the card game from ff9.

[SuzakuCMX]

I never learned exactly how to play Tetra Master because of the weird notation on the cards and everyone in the game refusing to say what X000 meant. I'm sure if they changed the notation and gave real instructions it'd be more popular >.>
