what really matters in a rpg like final fantasy is that the characters are realistic. Even sephiroth was good at one time. It's about the characters struggles not what they look like. Although rph characters are starting to get typecasted as far as they are mostly the same. Such is the case with the vampire guy from shadow hearts two and frank from shadow hearts 3 they both find their weapons and they are both commical. Now i think its funny and i don't mind but if it happened all the time with no variance then i would have a problem with it.
I think the biggest problem in rpg's lately is the lack of story and the lack of bravery. I remember playing a game when your main character died or when on the 2nd final fantasy you became a palidin and that was cool. The games just don't make you feel what the character is going through the music just doesen't live up its all upbeat battle music or generic sad music. I want an RPG that moves me not something thats pretty and makes me go oooooo and ahhhhhh.
Basically i want my rpg to have characters i really enjoy a great story and not be boring as dirt.
Music and a great battle system helps and so does uniqueness but even tho the battle system for ff7 is pretty slow and repetive and even though i have beat it at least a few times its still fun to play every so often and that is because of the music the side quests the characters and story.
