Final Fantasy X Wish List

I Know We Said Wish List And Everything, But...

Author: Strider Uno

Well by now we all know that FFX will not be online as such but with the power of the PS2 there is still the potential to make a couple of groundbreaking changes that will hopefully take FF to the next level.

1. Square has pretty much got it down pat with the storyline side of things. All I ask is that everything gets revealed to the audience by the time the final FMV finishes rolling. I was slightly disappointed with the ending of FFVIII. They should expand the storyline and truly make it an epic story that we will not forget. I have the utmost confidence that Square can accomplish this.

2. World Map. As it has been of late it is fine but I would like to see them expand it to maybe double the size of what it currently is in FFVIII. A realistic world map where it is not of the utmost importance to visit every town but it can assist with the flow of the storyline. Maybe more than one map, where u have another world (another planet?) to visit would be great and something that none of us would complain about.

3. More realistic characters. Have a choice of more characters to select, all very diverse not only in their abilities but also in their appearance. Also a nice mix of age differences and genders.

4. More plot twists. We all love them and they leave us thinking about it for weeks to come. Death, betrayal; it's been done before but if it fits in with the story I'm all for it.

5. Improved battle strategies. Being able to adjust party formations before fighting, having enemies change formation mid battle or circling your party, being able to let weak party members to escape, it all adds realism to the game. This would be great as long as enemy's difficulty level is increased.

6. Speech. I believe this would be on everyone's wish list and with the new DVD format (even if u need multiple discs which we're all used to) this could become a reality. Even though it would need translations it would be worth it and make the general public really appreciate it. Of course u would still have the option of text.

And that's basically my two cents worth.

The Most Far-Fetched Wish Yet

From: Israel

I wish that all the versions of FFX, that means PC and PSX2, North American, European and Japanese, will be released at the same time.

FF:WA Says: Don't we all my friend, don't we all. Reality is, we'll never see a simultaneous world-wide release of Final Fantasy X simply because of logistical problems. While Square say it will be released in July in Japan, they claim that it will be released in both North America and Europe in November of this year. Any PAL/European gamer will find this very hard to believe.

Re-Vamp The Battle System, I Say!

My favorite Final Fantasy X wish would be to see the battle system in the world. It should be similar to Grandia 2, as the characters move around and back up as attacks get incredibly powerfull. Could you imagine a summon of Shive perhaps and all the characters backing off and looking at her amazing power!!! That would be the best.

All in all I hope that wish could be fullfilled, it is important to see what final fantasy is all about... and that is the best RPG series to continue itself and be better then its previous 'brother', the only thing lacking as of now is storyline... VII gave us hope, VIII gave us realism with amazing FMV, and XI gives us a taste of what may be to come on FF13 or 14 perhaps... so lets go Moogles!

All together now... KUPO!!!

FF:WA Says: I think I see what you're getting at with the battle system, and I agree it would be a breath of fresh air to see it happen in Final Fantasy X. Well, that's about it.

Reward My Efficiency

My biggest wish is for more realistic and progressive character appearance. As a character becomes stronger, give him bigger muscles. If he changes armor, show it. The more damaged he is, the more ragged out he should look. As spells become stronger, they should LOOK more powerful, too. Enough of Fire 1, Fire 2 and Fire 3. How about Fire 1 - ??? Costs 5 or 10 MP to cast, no matter how strong it is, or perhaps you can gauge your fire attack by moving a slider.

Second Wish: Get rid of the silly 99 Level limit on character development. Also get rid of the 9999 limit on how many hit points you can knock out in one move. Of course, as games become longer and larger, this would probably be necessary. The final foe has 1,000,000 hit points -- if you can only knock out 9999 at a time, but you know your spells COULD knock out 24,000 HP at a time, it gets a little frustrating.

Third wish: Instead of giving a set number of experience points for killing enemy A or enemy B, how about taking into account efficiency? Anybody can Ultima or Meteo their way through a game, but no matter how you kill the enemies, you get the same number of experience points. That's not to say that using Ultima to kill one imp should get you zero experience points, but a good efficiency score would just get you bonus experience points. After all, it encourages responsible use of magic. :-)

FF:WA Says: The idea of having the character look more muscular as they get stronger is a good one. However, a muscular Yuna (or any other female character) would look quite scary, so maybe that would best be limited to the males.

Efficiency equals more AP? Could be a possibility -- after all, Square are revamping the battle system, and rumours suggest that they're going to be quite drastic changes.

Hold On A Minute, I've Heard This One Before

My one big wish is: A GOOD PORT TO THE PC! With the PS2, the old problem of low-res textures should no longer be a problem. More time should also be spent on refining it for the PC. While the main platform is the PS2, it's no excuse for making slacking off on the PC port.

FF:WA Says: We agree entirely. Ever since the 'port' of Final Fantasy VII by Eidos to the PC, I've lost all faith in PlayStation to PC ports. A few years on has given birth to more advanced hardware in the form of the PlayStation 2 and the more complex software this entails: we wonder how a PC port will live up?

One things for sure, lets hope Eidos are not involved.
