We need some sort of stealth game, something in the vein of the Mario and Megaman crossovers, in that they use an existing formula and add something new to it. Yes, something based on Metal Gear (Solid, of course), but with the three fairies of light; their powers fit for a game like this, and can be used creatively to make it better.

So you have to reach point B from point A, with the middle filled with humans or youkai or whatever. You could create illusions to distract or make yourself invisible with Sunny, and you can cover your sound with Luna; Star would have to be your radar.

Obviously, level design plays a major role here. If all you have to do everytime is only to reach point B, then the player is going to only use Sunny's powers. The missions could have to be special: there could be several where some fairies are unavailable, one about navigating a dark place and having to reflect light to guide yourself, or having to get a baby tengu inside Youkai Mountain while muting his cries to avoid detection.

Then again, it all depends on how the developers make use of the fairies' powers. Do they have a bar to fill? Some time to wait? Context-sensitive buttons? Items as abilities? Also, how do you organize the three? Does one choose one at the beginning of a mission? Maybe they all have a personal story route; perhaps all of them should work as one, having them side by side. I don't know about the details. All I know is that it could make a damn fine game.
