But yeah totally looking forward to the remake/remaster of this game. Totally not looking forward to that laughing scene...
Let's see... I know they can't remove Seymour, him being such an important character, but maybe they could scale back the obnoxious difficulty a bit? Some of those fights are nearly impossible if you don't already know what to do.
Also, why not have the standard shared XP thing? It must be weird as hell for the monsters when I'm playing musical chairs with my team just to make sure they all get stronger in every single fight.
The arena's boss monsters are absolute bullshit, no matter how strong my party was, that inconcievable old man (Can't hunt monsters but he can contain those fucking things?) will always have something that one-shots whoever it attacks.
The sphere thing is kindof annoying, do we really need strength, magic, speed, and ability spheres? Early on, I ended up holding half my party back until I found enough of the right speheres to advance them without gimping them at all. EDIT: To be clear, I mean just have a general 'upgrade' sphere for strength/magic/speed/ability, it's a real ***** having to go find the right monsters to kill if you haven't grinded enough.
Half the celestial weapons are an agonizing chore to unlock, but I guess that's half-justified for the best gear you can get, right?
EDIT:
That you basically -need- to grind to get through by more than the skin of your teeth, even some random monsters might wipe your team. And why the fuck, when 3/7 members are down, can't the living ones replace them? We confirm by having them switch in and out that they are ready and able, but when one falls, it's "nah, they're just lying down a bit, they've got this!" It'd have certainly helped when I learned stealing from the Magic Urn enemy results in instant death for the entire team.
Getting enough of the items needed to customize gear is arduous and irritating, especially when/if you learn the item you're looking for can be attained in bulk, once, from that fucking old man at the arena in exchange for catching some near-harmless-at-that-point monsters from earlier areas.
And finally, they could quit cheating in Blitzball so damn much. I thought things were unfair in the forced match because that was the great champion team, but no, it seems the other team is always higher-leveled than you and always has ridiculous stats, maybe there's some anti-bullshit trick I missed like Auron attacking a flying enemy, but thankfully it's optional anyway and you don't have to win the one that isn't.
(Guess who's been replaying it recently!)

Maybe add in a bit more detail about why exactly...uh...
...Why the Hell did Titus have to be sent or whatever the Hell happened?! I'm sure this was explored in X-2 but I haven't played that yet and while I do plan on playing it I'd rather just know what happened with Titus. I fucking cried (a little bit: single manly tear) when Yuna ran through him on the airship in the ending video. I don't like crying unless the ending is unreasonably happy as in FFIX...although it did inspire emotion so there's always that but I want an explanation dammit! Not in another game either!
You know, the laughing scene never bothered me until everyone started pointig it out...
OT: hmmm maybe better lipsynching for the english voices? They could maybe also do a better job of explaining
Although it's very much possible they intentionally made it confusing. Because that's how the characters also feel at that point.

what exactly tidus is and why he has to disappear.
I had 260 some hours on my ffx save on my ps2, ffx was incidently the last final fantasy game i played all the way through, x2 i never got, the next one was horrible, lest annoying enoughthat i never bothered to even finish the game.
well we all knew square had run out of the magic hat made FF games work, and it seems in general we at the point and time in the games industry where it is time to dust off the old classics put em in a new wrapper and resell em, gota be cheaper than making a whole new game, especially some of the depth these old games had compared to modern games, give a few years and every other game will be a remake of some "classic".

This is actually a really good idea, especially considering that most of the people that's going to buy it played it already so this gives them more for their money. Besides the english subtitles are already in there so half the work is done already.DanteLives said:
OT I'm going to say make the ultimate weapons unlocks not such a MASSIVE pain in the ass. Whoever thought doing crap like dodging 200 hundred lightning bolts in a row is fun is completely insane and has no business being anywhere near anything meant to design things for fun. Hard is fine, but that kind of stuff was just frustrating and annoying as hell and most importantly NOT FUN AT ALL.
1. It was 200, grrrrrrGZGoten said:
2. Actually alternate costumes in general is also a really good idea.
3. Something tells me they're not going to go rerecord any of the lines, but yeah it would be nice to just get rid of the "name this character" feature and just go with his name.
I would remove Blitzball. I like RPG's, I don't like sports games. To that end, I don't buy sports games and I didn't appreciate having to play Blitzball. It's ok to have it in the game but make it 100% optional.
Also, I never understood this hate of Tidus and Vaan. Just popular to hate on them I guess. I can understand the hate on Squall though, because he was so negative that it might rub off on the player. Neither Tidus nor Vaan were negative characters.

Everyone's complaining about the laughing scene, butr it was SUPPOSED to be cringeworthy, wasn't it?
Just one thing?
I would do this in this order.
1.Allow equipment customization from the star.
2.Add at least 1 more layer of further or advanced customization.
3.Add another accessory.
4.Streamline blitz ball some
5.Add 2 more pieces of equipable equipment.
6.Double the size of towns.
8.Double the size of all levels.
9.Add an over world.
10. Offer a better fast travel setup.
I could do ten more if I want >>
and for FF12
1.Add proper dual wielding
2.Add classes as an option.
3.Be able to break up the party and place them where I want them
4.Add range and radius to attacks,magic,ect,ect,ect
5.Add a faster run button.
6.Add more unique non bland equipment.
7.Add 2 more accessory slots
8.Add 2 more equipment slots
9.Add more choices for limit breaks(like chose between 3 different ones per level of limit break).
10.Kick Vahn out of the party.
11.Easy fast travel take like 10% of money to go to any part of any town.
12.Choose what stats to upgrade per level.

Remove all of the characters, and replace them with FF7 characters. Then, remove the story and replace it with the FF7 story. After that, remove all of the settings and envirnoments and replace them with FF7 settings and environments. Then remove the mechanics and replace them with the FF7 mechanics.
But leave Blitzball.

Hmm, just one thi-TIDUS! TIDUS TIDUS TIDUS FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY TIDUS!!!!!!!!!!Sieg Firebrand said:
He is bar none the most annoying character in that game (and arguably the entire series). Those stupid looks, that sniveling self-absorbed personality, *snarl* [a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H47ow4_Cmk0"]THAT LAUGH[/a]
That one character gave me more headaches than most of the rest of the game combined. He needs a from-the-ground-up redesign or should be dropped entirely, with either Yuna or Auron being the new main character (as both are far more interesting and well balanced characters), he is that irredeemable an individual.
The runner up to this is the Yu Yevon boss fight. How does a game go the from the Jecht Sin fight, a challenging and [a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZm4r3BdCq4"]friggin' badass[/a] bossfight to a final battle against a floating tick where you literally can't lose?!?!
Talk about anti-climactic.......
I'm aware of all of this, naturally. However, the point of 'em being weaker IS the point. Having killed Yunalesca, pretty much THE PERSON to make Aeons (keeping Anima in mind here), it is a small matter to destroy the locations in which one acquires them. Or even better, stop making summoners. As one could see in the final boss rush, compared to Jecht, the other Aeons are pathetic. The closest one is Anima, and still lacking.Slvrwolfen said:
Also, alluding to my second choice of chenge to the game, Yu Yevon is handled poorly. He's essentially the greatest manipulator in Spira's history and he's reduced to a parasitic soul-leech with no brain or personality. He's just a Fiend. Sin is a badass monster because Jecht is in the pilot chair, really. He makes the monster go. Yu Yevon merely prods him into action out of some instinctive lust for carnage. He is not actually smart enough to adapt his plans. What would happen if Yuna hadn't been there when Jecht was beaten? What happens when the lynch-pin to the giant monster was pulled, Sending or no Sending? Without Jecht, Sin is braindead and could probably just fall apart.
If Yu Yevon DID have a brain, he would have commanded Jecht to attack Aeon sites right after Yunalesca was defeated to birth MORE SINS, or actually stopped her death, or even EATEN the Aeon-maker so that Sin could simply NOT DIE. I have no problem with the way Sin was defeated. I think Yu Yevon himself is crap.
My biggest issues with the game (admittedly not huge issues, I generally liked it):
-Change how XP is given out. The fact that everyone gets the same XP regardless of how many people participated in the fight annoys me, because I feel like I'm being wasteful if I don't swap in everyone in the party.
-Get rid of Kimahri. This is mostly personal preference because I hate blue mages.
-Tweak the Sphere grid. I didn't hate it in general - maybe it's overly complicated, but whatever. But characters have one path on the grid they can follow until halfway through the game, and even after that it's hard to make dramatic changes. Which means there's very few viable builds for each character.
(Maybe the last one is misplaced - I loved FF6 which had minimal character customization options - but also had no illusions that it did, and did the leveling for you. FF10 gives the illusion of choice but few real choices, so assigning XP or spheres or whatever is a chore, not a choice.)

I'd do the opposite, actually. Except I'd just make Blitzball less of a grind.Snake Plissken said:
