Someone in the official forum started a thread and asked us when we think of Final Fantasy just what is it we think of. Here was my quick and dirty reply:
I think of a story that starts out as a personal one and grows to include the fate of the world. A wide open world and a sense of adventure and danger.
I think of NPC's that say clever things, dancers that twirl around the tavern and homes where I plunder potions from pots. Saving my gil because I suspect I'm about to get to a new town where I can buy my next oversized sword.
I think of princesses and love stories and the bad guy that gets in the way. Getting stuck and talking to every npc in a town to find my way. Exploring caves, castles and ruins to get this or that item that some NPC needs.
I think of wandering too far out and being squished by ogres. Secret passages and time travel. Head-scratching plots and epic boss battles.
Also, fantastic music, chocobos, tents, canoes, ships, airships, crystals, summons, magic, Cid and all the usual suspects.
