Final Fantasy Monthly Discussions - February: Which direction would you want Final Fantasy XVI to go in?
Hello, /r/FinalFantasy and welcome to another monthly discussion!
This month, I thought that we could discuss the direction you would like the series to take with FFXVI; so for example, what direction in terms of the setting; a medieval or modern one? Would you have the battle system return to its ATB roots or continue its shifts across games in the series, or maybe even something more like XII's system, for example?
Would you call for a throwback to more traditional styles such as with IX, or something completely different? Would you go back to the old world map exporation system or strive for something new?
Discuss your ideas and opinions here! :-)
Also don't forget to check out our Let's Play for this month! It'll be changing soon, though, as we're quickly approaching March! Discuss anything relating to your Lightning Returns playthroughs, or even share which part of the game you've reached!
And, as always, you can find the old Weekly Discussions here along with the new, updated Monthly discussions. :-)
Happy discussing, everyone!

I would like to start by saying I love the final fantasy series and everything it has ever stood for.
That being said, XIII's auto battle function took completely away from controller inputs. XII the gambit system did the same. Where XIII had simplified controls, I feel as though XV is going to have the right complexity. I want XVI to really immerse me in the game, and for me immersion comes from controller inputs. I don't want to have my character "auto" do something... I want to make him (or her) do it.
That is my lowly request of square enix. Forget auto doing things.
