for the love of god do not put XVII in the name. I love FF with all my heart but this is the one time where I think they need to ditch the number
anyway
>STOP TRYING TO MAKE SUPER DENSE LORE! NO MORE SIDE MEDIA NO MORE 20 YEARS WORTH OF POLITICAL DYNAMICS SHOVED IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES! START SIMPLE AND BUILD UP THE WORLD THROUGH THE STORY
>Put TWEWY writers on that shit
>Proper romance element instead of the absolute joke that was XVI where Clive fucks a deadweight girl who does nothing afterwards
>Battle system takes inspiration from LaD Infinite Wealth, build on the positioning aspect and make it feel like a semi-tactical game so people can feel smart, have environmental interactions like throwing nearby objects
>Job system with cross-classing but jobs are based on their best characters from previous games (except XIV) ie Dragoon is based on Kain's iteration with Dissidia inspired moves, Mime is Bartz where you have multiple cross-class slots, Summoner based on Yuna, etc
>Crystals, Realistic Artstyle, sci-fi vs fantasy etc all optional, I just want all the essentials there like chocobos and traveling the world
>Although preferably some whimsy would be nice
