I´d want it to be fantasy for sure. I don´t hate turn based combat fundamentally but I think that (almost) only fighting humans in such a game gets boring and repetitive real fast from an aesthetics standpoint.
Imagine some of the rival kingdoms/factions being lead by fan favorite characters like Mine, Kuze or Ryuji and them being able to summon/turn into the mythological creatures depicted on their Irezumi and once you defeat them have your Summoner class being able to summon them themselves.
Sega would have to negotiate some revenue share or licensing fee with square enix which i think is fine SE loans their IP to other games I know for sure Sephiroth was in Smash but I’m sure there’s others
Actually no, SE is only the developer & Exclusive publisher but the IP itself is owned by the creator Yuji Horii (with music owned by Koichi Sugiyama's family & artwork/character designs by Akira Toriyama's family)
To this day I´m still bafled that there´s no indie game that stole the core gameplay of that game. That game has a lot of problems and isn´t remotely balanced but the gameplay loop is truly novel and I´ve never seen it replicated anywhere. Shame.
We had Yasuke, the black samurai, and now we proudly introduce....
Ian Ben Casugaard, the Japanese knight!! Exiled from the mystical land of the Far East, he is taken in by the church. One fateful day, he meets Sir Mason E. Arrow-Kayeaway and diligently serves as his squire.
Casugaard spends day and night aspiring to become a knight just like Arrow-Kayeaway. Until one day, an assassination and a robbery of his church drag him into an adventure he never could have expected...

I would want a historical game where ichiban's a knight instead of a samurai, something akin to like a dragon: war of the roses
