I've been doing some thinking, and maybe the best Final Fantasy game should have one feature found from each game. The number next to the idea refers to which FF I'm talking about. I was thinking the best FF game should have something like:
I. Cheery world map theme throughout the whole game (IX came close...until Disc 4. I also hear how VII's is creepy)
II. The "Memorize" feature.
III & V. The Job system. Just think about all of the different possibilities. Imagine a job like Summoner also having a sub job like Thief.
IV. Have a way to reach outer space, even if it's only the moon.
VI. A large character roster!!!
VII. Limit Breaks. Seriously, a super attack that is exclusive for each character.
VIII. Didn't play much of VIII (thinking about downloading it, though). But I've heard people say that Triple Triad is better than IX's Tetra Master. Though I only played it once, I'm thinking a mini-game like Triple Triad could make things fun in a new FF.
IX. Personally, I think a good sidequest like Mognet or the Chocobo Hot and Cold game can give you something to do if you can't make much progress in the story (or just to have fun).
X. Voice acting, although they should also put the option to turn the voice acting off. They did it in Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. I don't know about you guys, but I personally liked Christopher Sabat as Garland in the first (and chronologically last) Dissidia. It was like having Piccolo in the game.
I don't know much about the other FFs, but these are my thoughts. I know XII and XIII had voice acting, too, but I put X in there because it's the first FF (not counting movies or spin-offs) with voice acting. It's a pioneer!
