If you could change ONE thing about FFX?

[Kukakkau]

Well considering it's just an HD remaster and not a remake, nothing will be changed

But if I had the choice it'd be changing Tidus so he is less annoying or making item slots and customisation work differently (having to bribe a rare enemy type, for components of break HP limit, 30 times per character is just stupid)

 

[Baron_Rouge]

Make Kimahri a bit more powerful. I thought he was an awesome character, but...he kinda sucked :/

 

[PrinceOfShapeir]

Oh, God. Only one thing? Okay, how do I fix as much as possible while making only one change...

Completely redesign the Tidus character. Voice, name, appearance, just about everything except for his general purpose in the plot. If Tidus weren't an annoying, idiotic, whiny, Meg Ryan-looking piece of snot, the game would be about ten times better.

 

[platinawolf]

Tidus/Wakka or Tidus/Lulu instead of Tidus/Yuna...Or, why not Tidus/Wakka/Khimari? Or, just remove the horrific crush between Tidus and Yuna *Bleh!*

Glad to see I'm not the only jaded former FF fan in here. :3

I'm sure there are plenty of us around - FFX was the turning point for a lot of people, but from what I hear the games since then have been incrementally worse with each installment. I'm surprised the franchise is still limping along, honestly.

They have been getting worse since VII (some would say VI) and X was worse than IX which is quite an insult since IX was like watching paint dry.

X dropped the world map, X brought us Blitzball and forced us to play it. I really didn't care for the Sphere Grid or those fucked up temples. Here's a question, whose job is it to reset all those orbs everytime a summoner comes through?

Atleast X didn't move at a snails pace like IX did.

I'd get rid of the random battles. Boy I hate random battles.

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.

I always assumed it's because he's a bit whiny at points. Though, he's a spoilt 17(?) year old, who lost his home, so I think his personality is quite realistic in that sense.

I don't like Vaan mind. Not because he's a bad character though, just because, he and Penelo didn't really add anything to the story. May as well have not been there kind of thing.

 

[Tilted_Logic]

I actually love the voice acting from Tidus Wakka and Rikku... Although there were definitely a few bits that felt rather silly.

If I'd be inclined to suggest anything it would be an option to obtain skills and such again if you missed them the first time. I know with Kimahri I missed a lot of potential Ronso Rage abilities simply from not knowing the enemies I was fighting could offer me something new.

Same with that Jecht Blitzball skill Tidus could learn. I missed learning it on the boat, and I'm unaware whether it's something I could unlock later in the game, but if not I'd love to have the option this time around.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

The ENTIRE story.

Trust me, give me time and I could make a story that:

a. makes sense.
b. isn't offensively bad
c. and interesting.

As a matter of fact, at this point anyone with logical understanding of how to make a story can make a better story than FFX!

EDIT: Oh, I forgot this. *activates flame shield*

 

[Korten12]

Okay, did any of you whining about the laughing scene EVER play the game? In-story, THE WHOLE POINT is that the laugh sounds fake. He's actively trying to laugh to try and cheer himself up, and he's terrible at it. Wakka even says, "we thought you'd gone crazy!"

People don't care about context at all. Even if it makes sense why it is like it is people will complain. :/

 

[FootloosePhoenix]

Y'know guys...I liked Tidus. ;_____;

Limit the number of games a Blitzball player can be signed for. It's ridiculous how many games some players get signed for, essentially making them unattainable in any kind of realistic way.

And add some way to recruit players without having to track them down all across the world. If I see a player I want in an area I won't be coming back to any time soon and they're already signed then I'm fucked. I want to be able to recruit them as soon as their contract is up.

Oh, thanks for reminding me. Axe that damn Blitzball tournament bullshit. Or at least make playing it not mandatory when Tidus and the gang go to Luca.

 

[Colton Walker]

I would say that the removal of tidus should be pretty obvious. no one liked that annoying little prick anyway. But seeing as you are discussing a remake they cant really get rid of tidus can they. I would say that the voice acting will have to be way better than it was previously. Also a good idea would be to make the blitzball minigame more playable. I always lost at blitzball

We get the context, it was still annoying.

The reason nobody likes Tidus is because he's an annoying, clueless manchild.

 

[geK0]

Increase (or remove) the damage cap and just increase the health of late-game monsters.... it was WAAAAY too easy to hit the damage cap before eve beating the main story-line and the whole getting special weapons to increase the damage cap thing annoyed me A LOT, characters who had difficult to obtain weapons essentially became useless until I could get them.

 

[pjiutzi]

FFX wouldn't be my first choice of ones to go back and fix. It's got some weaknesses, but nothing overly bad. I'd have to replay it to remember exactly why, but I found Yuna to be much more annoying than Tidus, but that made sense in the story more or less and was fixed in X-2.

The main fix to FF titles I'd make would be to not make FFXI and FFXIV MMOs. FF based MMOs would be fine, but they should have made them a spin off type series like Crystal Chronicles or Tactics.

In terms of character changes, I'd go back and rework Squall from FFVIII. I love that game, but Squall really needs to get whacked in the head with a clue bat a few dozen times.

 

[MrHide-Patten]

I would have a New Game+ mode. After enjoying FF X-2 and the subsequent New Game+ tom foolery I was sort of shattered after playing X and found no new game plus like feature.

 

[Furbyz]

Make Seymour put a god damn shirt on.

You can't put a shirt over that hair. It's physically impossible. They'd have to invent button up shirts just for him.

 

[loc978]

One thing? Still wouldn't play the damn game.

Now, with two things changed... remove the mandatory blitzball match and all of the voice acting... then maybe.

 

[cswurt]

I'd make Lulu's boobs bigger.
I don't think they were big enough in the original release.

I really enjoyed the voice acting in FFX too, I don't know why there was such hate to it. I've heard far far worse and I think it's actually pretty good.

I don't know about Kimahri as I never used him, but you can learn the jecht shot from the tournaments I believe, not just II, but the first one if you missed it the first go around.

My main gripe was the characters that weren't active in the battle getting nothing, I'd prefer they'd get most, if not all, of the AP the characters that participated did. Then maybe I'd be more inclined to use everyone, instead of just Tidus, Yuna and Auron.

As far as most of the game goes though, I loved it, including blitzball. Though someone said it was difficult, honestly I thought it was too easy bar the first forced one. I admit I didn't like Yu Yevon being a joke either, though at least he was better than Necron from IX.

 

[bluegate]

I wouldn't want to change stuff, rather, I would like to add stuff.

- A new game+ option,
- Online blitzball
( out of personal interest ) Scenes of Baaj temple when it was in use and fully operational, always loved imagining what the temple looked like before it was trashed.
- Even more special bosses ( was kind of bummed out when I beat the dark aeons and penance... )
