In the wish list topic, Drifloon brought to my attention that Final Fantasy seriously need to invest some time into the idea of a crossover rpg. Dissidia was nice, but there was no real story to dive into and it was a fighting game with rpg ideas.
They really need some sort of world which incorporates all the best qualities/aspects from each FF title and throw them all together in one giant massive rpg adventure.
Think about it, each game has a character or an idea, an item, a story sub plot, a vehicle, a famous landmark or town, evil villians that are memorable enough. Why not just take the best from each game and combine them all.
Like I said in the other thread, make it somewhat like Kingdom hearts, but without all the Disney filler. You don't even need a main character. Just make it like FF6 where you start with a certain point of view character and switch out between a different character until everyone all comes together.
They could add to characters who weren't fleshed out enough in their respected games. We could even learn the true identity of Gogo! Edge and Shadow could run around together. Zidane and Locke could be partners in crime. People could go to the colleseum and bet on their favorite Blitzball teams. Cid could team up with Edgar for even more wacky inventions. And just imagine all the summoners getting together!
The possibilities are endless really. There wouldn't even be any trademarking issues since all the rights and characters are owned by Square anyways.
But we all know it will never come to be. It still would be something that might be interesting to write about if anything. Plus, I have been itching to write about SOMETHING of interest recently, and this very well may be it.
What I have below is just a list of some of the more memorable what-have-yous from each game. If you want, please harp in and I can add anything you think I have excluded from the list. Believe me, I won't be able to complete it alone!

Most of the ones left blank are from the games I haven't played (finished) or just couldn't think of a good idea for that topic. As said before, nothing is set in stone, and really this is purely fictional, and for fun.
So what do you think? What else should be incorporated for shits and giggles
