Even though I love medieval setting, i do like science fiction fantasy like Final Fantasy 8 (balamb garden!!!!!!) and a little bit of Final Fantasy Advent Children (cloud superbike is cool!!!, the combat is cool, but just for high level heroes. example cloud final battle with sephiroth)
I like science fic fantasy that has natural thing, greener, not much steels, not a wasteland, beautiful natural environtment like grass, treess, rivers...
And i do like urban fantasy, like the matrix 1, before Neo can fly like a superman. a little bit gun fight here and there, and martial arts combat, its cool. maybe can add a magic attack like ff8 that combines both magic and science...

I like low tech alien fantasy. Like imagine the move Avatar with no humans or technology, but instead Na'vi doing magic and battling monsters and living in tribes...
I like school settings, whether like the one in FF8 or like the academies in Bleach or Naruto, or the one in Soul Eater... fantasy or science fantasy academies in general, or even far-future science fiction, as long as the setting isn't modern.
I like marooning settings where the player is alone in an unfamiliar wilderness and has to build up a 1-person civilization out of rocks and mud. Somewhat challenging to make this work in an MMO, but Xsyon's PvE server is a decent attempt, except for the restrictions on what can be built by a single person.

The advantage of the martial arts fantasy setting is that it allows for a certain degree of cheesiness in the genre. Things like flying around with your arms, walking on water, and double/triple jumping cease to be immersion breakers and start becoming part of the expected hilarity and wish fulfillment. And I think the genre could use that kind of experience in a really good game for a change.

Scifi... Not many games get that right in my eyes. Even my two favorites, Halo and X-Rebirth, have glaring flaws.
Low fantasy is my go to setting. Too bad so few games actually attempt it.
