I'm playing FF4 again... and like a lot of older RPG's.... most of the random NPC's walk around town (IE they do not stand in the same spot). While the shopkeepers and important NPC's and certain other ones stand in the same spot permanently.... lots of the townfolk you talk to move around a bit.

I kinda think they should bring that back.... even make shopkeepers and important NPC's move around a little bit depending upon day/night cycle. No the shops would not close (though they can) during a certain time of day... a 2nd NPC can keep that shop open.

Anyways letting this out there for the dev's/anyone else interested.
