Saving Final Fantasy isn't that complicated.

ATB Command based, real time action RPG. Jobs with unique Commands. Instant switch like Paradigm Shift, but switching the Jobs are tied to the Dress/Garbs like X-2 or LR. Sex appeal for women and rule of cool for men. Beautiful and cosplay-able outfits for the girls and badass eye candy stuff for the guys. Female characters should be bold and ambitious, defy expectations. Front and center or even the protagonist themselves sometimes. But the main story still always has a strong male hero lead, hero is equal with the heroine and a dynamic supporting cast that represents many different personalities of men and women alike. A light hearted tone to contrast the often dreadful story events. Good sense for comedy and not taking itself all too seriously, because it is a fun video game after all. Science fiction elements that can allow you to go in bold new artistic directions, but keep the many traditional fantasy elements of the Command based JRPG front and center.

Sorcerers and Sorceresses, Knights and Lady Knights. Thief, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Dragoon. SPIKY HAIR. Bold, over the top costumes, Nomura costumes, and the Amano costumes with lots of beads, flowing patterned cloth, capes, hip sashes, leotards, white hair and weird horned helmets.
