Well, I have always wanted to play games that gives you the choice to pick your own character to play
For instance, I picked to play as Aeris ::Aeris would be the main character then, with the story plots evolving around her:: Then the other characters that joins your Team would fight themselves in battles ::AI style, can't control them:: About casting Magic and equipment, the main character would leads the party would just give the items to them ::Materia, Potions, Weapons, Armour, etc:: and the computer would caculate the best combination
::or Random combinations:: of Magic, attack skills, etc.
I guess that it would be VERY hard work for the code programmers, but it's fun! The players would get more interested in the game
It also makes the length of the game longer as players would certainly try to play the other characters. ::maybe the plot of the game would be the same but maybe for different characters, players would have the option of doing things and visiting places that differs from each characters, special encounters, etc:: Players would also pay more attention in building up their character.
::hehe...I have also been very keen to see more effects on the Love Plot::
This would also be a way to better understand each characters' background.
I have always longed for a game like this, you tend to spend more time in it, trying to understand the story deeply and truely get rooted with the character you play.
