The crystals were sort of crucial in Final Fantasy XIII though.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm still on my FF VIII kick.
Now that I think on it some more, they would actual have to add a few more countries to the world to make it work. Three just isn't enough. And no, I'm not counting Trabia cause there was nothing on the whole continent except a single Garden, or the Shumi village, because its, you know, a freakin' village, not a nation.
I'd add a pseudo-Arabian society (think Tashban from The Chronicles of Narnia, only with less racism) on the eastern continent, north of Esthar, and expand Trabia into a full fledged, UK-like nation (I always read Selphie with a brit accent. Thanks for ruining that, KH 2). Something could be done with the Centra continent to, depending if they wnated the Lunar Cry to have happened there or not.

One thing the FF writers suck at is geopolitics.
Then again most video game writers suck at it, with the possible exception of strategy game writers.
INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Overall I agree with the idea, but it must be a pretty good director. And I mean continuing/improving good. Something like Jon Cassar.

In fact, every hero in Dissidia has a crystal. Sure, they stopped being Mineral Macguffins that were crucial to the world's balance after FFV, but they were still there.
