Wow, Brock references and speculation on hedgehog sexuality. This is an awesome thread.
Seriously though, I really like the question. I think I might want to live in FFVI's world, because despite everything being destroyed, the characters manage to pull themselves and each other together and life wins out in the end, and there's a little hope. That's pretty good resilience. Also it's less in upheaval than the Chrono world, where you could suddenly end up in an awkward blind date with your grandma, who ends up being a lizard by the time the dinner check arrives... time travel tends to work better as a narrative than as a continuum.
Then again, how many colors does the world have in FFVI by the time Kefka gets done with it? And it only starts with a 16bit palette in the first place... that might get old after a while.
The Suikoden world would be a pretty great place to live in... a lot of the characters seem to have their shit together, and their hearts in the approximate right places, and the good guys tend to win in the end, after great struggle of course... and of course, you would have the power to change your destiny when it matters (as opposed to FF games, where you can say "no" as many times as you want until you decide to say "yes.")
I also like the Pokemon idea. There is something very neat and tidy about Pokemon, with a profession which pervades the whole world waiting for any adventurous inhabitant. But then there's the ineviitable dissapointment when you learn that everyone else and their retarded cousin is also a pokemon trainer. Welcome to Pokemon MMO.
