What do YOU want?

imagine ff7, but with the graphics and voice acting of ff10.

1. a main character that is not goofy or stupid (like tidus or zidane)

2. the materia system

3. a main boss that the storyline revolves around (like sephiroth)

4. killer symphony-orchestra music, with many different themes (again, like 7)

5. a freaking world map. the ff10 map system was stupid.

6. a big, freaking sword.

7. a storyline that doesnt focus on summons (the past three ff's have all focused too much on the summons-i am so sick of that)

and thats about it.

A realistic world modern day with a war overseas taht somehow pulls a student paying for college in to war with war buddies
The person starting war should be controlled by a force similar to SEPHIROTH

I think the setting should be modern day with computers, video games, and baseball games.It should be realistic in a way with a twist of fantasy in the background.For ex: A teenager should be normal going to high school.Watches news and sees a war or sum thing and as the storydevlopes, the war is being cause by a Sephiroth-Like figure backing/ controlling the leader of the agressor country.The boy should join the army and somehow be pulled into the mix with war buddies.

First I want a medieval setting.

Normal great evil bad guy and a group of good guys.

Maybe a death of a character.

A large world, control of an airship, and merging of world map and FFX where you can fly over the world but still walk in it too like in FFX, with the detail of FFX.

Large battle and facedown and huge FMV's.

Plenty of sidequests and a great minigame like Blitzball.

I think it should end in an FMV

Some things that definitely need to be there:

-A World map that you can freely explore on foot or airship not that crap from FFX

-More FMV's with awesome orchestrated music, really powerful stuff.

- Weapons and armor that actually affect your strength and defense not just ones that have slots for abilities.

- Must have powerful weapons like Ruby and Emerald, these would be the kind of weapons that you must be lvl. 99 or higher to beat.

- You gain experience like in FF VII but the sphere grid could be used for magic. One direction is white magic another is black and status and etc..

- An awesome ending FMV

- NO love story unless its really needed.

- Powerful bad guy that wields a powerul blade that is known to absorb the spirits of the ones killed.

-FMV's that include shots of classical enemies like iron giants, Marlboros, Chimeras, bombs and behemoths. It would be awesome to see an iron giant or a approaching a town with his sword raised and the town's mages are casting thundara and firaga. It would be so exciting.

-Ohhh and offcourse there would have to be an airship, but you should be able to upgrade it. Maybe old hidden ruins that tell of long lost machina and you can upgrade the airship for more speed or just to look coller.

-Lots of mini games and side quests like the monster Arena in FFX I lvoe that.

Dancing Mad was A LOT better than One Winged Angel.

I want girls with non-sexist clothing.

oh this thread has actualy got some replies......i was thinking like four of five people would post.....

anyway i think the iron giant approaching a town and mages firing magic at it is kinda the same as WEAPON appraoching Junon and Diamond WEAPON attacking Midgar, but it'd be cool anyway.

I was reading the earlier posts and I really dont like the idea of a present setting. I don't think it would work to have a war with another country and then the main character would become involved with some war buddies. I can't imagine there being any "fantasy" in that. Plus what sort of enemies would you fight. Wouldbe main character handle a MK 47 and shoot at tanks and howitzers. I think they should stay in the medievil period.

Now that I think about it my idea with Iron giants is a lot like Junon and the Weapons, I just want to see nemies that we are familiar with put into FMVs, I think that would be cool to see them that way.

What do you think about the airship upgrades. I think the airship is so critical and it would be awesome if they made it a little more involved with cool upgrqades.

HOT HOT HOT guys! That's all, and a good story. And a battle system exactly like that of FFX. No love stories, those are too sad. And if the guy I liked got taken or killed, I'd die along with them (kinda like when Seymour died in FFX). So, don't take the guy I like, Square, b/c you'll have one unhappy gamer.

FF12 should be present time and they should fight soldiers at first and later stumble onto sumthing big
A shuttle/or a gateway and it should lead to the Bosses realm which should be very fantasy like or if the boss was a CEO it should lead to a realm that his space team discovered in desert
Climax-U should enter army base of CEO and gov't where the portal was found and sneak through gatewayetc....

[Leviathan]

no dude.....that story sucks.......that's like saying the last boss would be president shinra! what kinda boss would he be?

he would have one attack 'sit in chair and die'

i think the story will be a lot better than yours i'm afraid and i wouldn't really like an army base and government and portals type game......i think that would suck.

Then, FF12 should be about the merging of existence-
It should start off with an excellent FMV, showing Cloud's life in a military movement, then switching to Squall fighting a masked asalant, then tidus in the farplane staring into a light and a faythn should come and try to make him remember and his sworsd should be next to him and he should try to leave and be stopped by nomads and it should show him swing at the same time cloud swings at an enemy in a battlefield at the same time squall swings at the mask asalant and the screen should brighten and show the crystal from ff9 as the logo with a shadow in tyhe background and it should be entitled FF12:The Merger and Cloud,Squall,Zidane,Tidus, and a NEW character should meet and all fight together against another Sephiroth clone, deal with Rinoa's sorceres powers taking over, and a new figure head from the NEW characters world
THIS WOULD BE A FF GAME FOR ALL FANS!!!! IT'd GO flying off shelves just by showing the commercial
ID buy it!!!!

Naw, I say Final Fantasy XII should go into more of a medieval world than a futuristic one.

[Leviathan]

that's what i was thinking it'd be better a more medievil type game, the futuristic games are FFVII, FFVIII and FFX and the medievil are FFIX and FFXI so we need one more medievil to balance it out.

but don't get me wrong i like futuristic as much as medievil but there will be a balance of all the Playstation games 3 futuristic and 3 medievil if XII follows IX and XI.
