I don't know why, but as I was playing through Final Fantasy III (DS/PSP remake) the other night, I was thinking how cool a side-scrolling Final Fantasy game could be. Made in the same vein as something like Castlevania, maybe you unlock new characters (each based on a different iconic Job), kind of an Action-Platformer with some RPG elements thrown in?

Not that it *needs* to happen, it just seems like it could be a cool way to delve into a new genre, while also leveraging some nostalgia. If you had tons of repeatable-dungeons, sort of like Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, but more RPG-elements like in Order of Ecclesia, it seems like something that would be a blast.

Not to mention, adding "secret characters" from other games in the franchise could definitely draw some serious attention. Who wouldn't buy a side-scroller in which you could unlock Cloud Strife, even if it was DLC?

Just saying; it's an idea. I'd buy a game like that!
