Storyline & gameplay rank number one for me. Then Music and Graphics.

This is why I am able to play Xenogears over and over again, because it's story and battle system is awesome. So is the music, and look how dated the graphics are.

Now with FFXIII all it has is graphics, it's story is excessively linear. The battle system is garbage with that terrible teammate AI. It's music, is subaverage, couldn't stand that they repeated the same , song like 8 to 10 times with different instruments. For that reason I can't even beat the game, even though I am apparently at the bridge just before the final boss.

So when it comes to FFXIV, I'd rather them work on story, gameplay, and music. Well before they even touch the graphics. Cause too me they don't matter.
