I know this isn't exactly a groundbreaking opinion and I'm sure people say this all the time but I'm just thinking a simple storyline involving four crystals- Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, modern FFVIIR or FFXV like graphics, action style combat is fine I guess (I prefer turn based but whatever), gimme some really cool summons, some monster bosses, maybe a FFI or FFV like job system, etc. Gimme a bunch of callbacks to earlier games. Maybe tie in some random cameos, idk

After what FFXV turned out to be.. Keep this one simple and back to its roots

They tried that with Final Fantasy 9 and nobody actually wanted it.

They need to just go back to prerendered backgrounds since its obvious they cant make complete games with their current approach (FFXIII, FFXV, FFVII Remake)

If who people are theorizing might be in charge of XVI, that may very well happen.

I think most people just don't want Nomura involved in the next FF. Which I guess ties into making things simple, but I'd rather them have competent writers than just essentially rebooting the formula into that "keep it simple" mentality. FF needs to get back into being THE leading RPG series and it can do that with compelling storylines and characters. Like with FFVI.

FF9 was the best game so far because of it

Final Fantasy IX was very well received, it just didnt sell incredibly because it was a PS1 game that came out after the PS2 released.

i really miss prerendered backgrounds.

apparently it's costly but hell, it doesn't even have to be prerendered since they can just make 3d/real-time backgrounds but keep the camera angles semi-static with the odd camera glide here and there.

FF XV had one and it's awful in the new formula.

The days of flying around manually in an airship in an open world are long gone. Nowadays, you gotta sit for a 7 minute car ride but it's kewl, you can use your hard-earned gil to buy soundtracks from all the previous games and listen to that.

They already think FFVIIR is a 'going back to the roots', so be careful what you wish for.

I definitely don't want the crystals being a thing again because that's boring as fuck but I would like to see them use all the technology and everything they have to make a more "classical" Final Fantasy as well.

I would love to see giant, open world FF with classical towns and more defined jobs. I love FF's like 10 where the jobs like summoner play a large role in the story. I'd like to see that with other jobs.

Yup.

I mean, that would be terrible for XIV given that it's in the best state it's ever been, but I would also be excited to see what yoshi-p would do with a chance to build something from the ground up.

I would love for a mainline Final Fantasy game that isn't an MMO to be good again.

At this point it could be a remake of The Bouncer that they slapped the "Final Fantasy XVI" name on and if it was good, I'd be fine with it.
