Help me make the PERFECT Final Fantasy

[Chun Liroy]

GUN SWORD.

[Charismatic]

Yes, but this time we have to do better than a gunblade

[Charismatic]

Maybe a Cannon Spear

[Charismatic]

wait, damn it... final fantasy main characters need swords

[Chun Liroy]

Crossbow that shoots swords.

[Chun Liroy]

Because for some reason, swords>bullets.

[Rocl]

Crossbow that shoots swords.

It'd have to be a sword shooting crossbows

[Ragnell]

I couldn't even make it halfway through page 1 before having to stop and make this post to call Ragnell a fucking idiot.

I'm not even finishing this thread fuck you you ruined it.

I'd participate but the only ff games I remember are 4,9,11 and 12. Could be that they are the only good ones and the rest were forgettable.

Could be, but it's not.

Based on common complaints I see about the newer Final Fantasy games and things people praise about the older ones (which are considered the to be godlike compared to the newest entries) I'm trying to build a list of things that need to be in what could quite possibly be the greatest Final Fantasy the world will ever see.

-We have to make sure the characters do not look realistic.

-Add a fair number of quirky non-human characters to the cast and make sure they have very little storyline relevance but let them have their one badass moment.

-There will be little-to-no character growth and we'll make all males gary stus and all females into mary sues halfway through the game for no explainable reason.

-The villain should not have reasonable motives for wanting to 'take over the world' or 'destroy the world' (the villain should not have any other goal than one of these two.)

-Your avatar character MUST be the main focus of the game, you cannot simply be a small part of the unfolding events, you must be the one to incite every major development in the entire game.

-The final boss should receive a sudden, unexplained power-up at the end or the final boss should be a random unexplained monster/god.

-The battle system should be the exact same as the ATB introduced in FFIV, also... no job classes. (While many people do enjoy FFV's job system I see a lot more people express that they prefer games like FFIV and FFIX where you do not have any choice.) Haven't decided what to do with the actual growth system but we have to make sure it's not like anything that's been done in the Final Fantasy series before.

-Music by Nobuo Uematsu is a must








What else, spam? What else?

didn't read the rest of the thread but:

-character specific abilities

-secret dungeons / side quests and lots of them

-avatar changes appearance with eq upgrades

-at least 6-8 "secret" obtainable characters that you won't be able to obtain all of in one playthrough ( some secret dungeons and side quests also unaccessable unless certain characters obtained / combined )

-rare items not stolen from bosses can be reobtained in a colosseum by refighting tougher version of boss

[Demosthenes]

Could be, but it's not.

Whoops, forgot 6,7 and 8 were the bestest.

as far as the description of the PERFECT Final Fantasy ITT, ff8 has everything listed except for ze shopuff

ff8 has Draw, which instantly puts it into the awful pile

[quannum]

i agree that draw is shit, but using draw is "doing it wrong" 85% of the time

complaining about draw is complaining about not getting or wanting to play the card game

[Charismatic]

Or not wanting to play it

[Charismatic]

Or simply not knowing about card/card mod
