Okay, so I was thinking (and I think this is the perfect place to express my thoughts):

Remember a few years back when Crapcom had a rare genius inspiration to make Megaman 9 and 10 with NES-level graphics and level design and it was a HUGE hit? Has anyone thought maybe they should do that with Final Fantasy? Think about it, production wouldn't be hard, as pixel graphics are much simpler to make than polygons and wireframes. There would be no need for voice acting or FMV's, just a simple Final Fantasy IV-VI styled game.

You could sell it on the PSN, WiiWare, and XBLA for cheap, maybe 10 bucks, and make a fortune on it. All the inspiration is already there in the form of FF1-6, so all you'd need is a good team of writers and some programmers to make the game. Voila, a couple dozen people could make this in a matter of months, it'd be super cheap to make and distribute, and it would sell loads thanks to people like us who love the idea of a classic Final Fantasy game.

It's win-win.

I mean, look at it this way:

1 - Finding good writers isn't that hard, I guarantee there's at least three people in this thread who would be willing and capable of making a story for a Final Fantasy game.

2 - Finding good programmers for the project wouldn't be difficult, my younger brother could probably do it (as an example of how much easier it is to program a sprite-based game, not his skill.)

3 - Like stated above, production and distribution would be so cheap it's funny, and the sales would be through the roof. Imagine a 10 dollar game that lasts you 40 hours....assuming the game doesn't suck, the reviews would also be astronomical.

4 - After how much hate XII and XIII got, there would be an entire generation of gamers ecstatic to return to a classic look and feel for the game. you know, turn based, open world. Take inspiration from the first 6 games and you have a winner.

So what would YOU guys like in a game like this? I know what I Want!
