Well, you know how there's rumours about how Final Fantasy VII will be remade for the PS3 - and it probably will. SE is known to milk their 'classic' to death - so, if FFIX were remade for the PS3, what would you change?

For me:
* Trance Mode to be made controlable. Also, include a few more Trance moves, or add new ones completely for characters like Freya and Quina.

* Add more character development to Freya, Quina, Amarant and Eiko. I liked them, but they just need a bit more. I've heard that there's optional scenes of development for Quina, but they should be made manditory.

* Include Beatrix a lot more. It would be ace if she could be part of your party (then again, she has all of her uber-abilities straight away, and that's no fun). She should definitely have a Trance bar when you use her in Alexandria. She and Steiner should search the whole of Alexandria for civilians that are trapped in wreckage, and get special items for the number of civilians you save; and for the number of Mistodens you kill.

* Re-write Necron's story a bit. Make him more essential to the plot and less "pop-up randomly at the end"-ish.

* Give Eiko another optional Eidolon like Phoenix, but more powerful than Phoenix but less powerful than Madeen. Also, I think there should be a way to make Carbuncle have a damaging attack. (Wouldn't he be brilliant if he could give you all those status boosts, and do an attack?) I reckon Fenrir should ditch the whole "mountain-thing punching you into the air" and actually attack for himself. I want to see that wolf in action!

* Add Watera and Waterga to Vivi's spells.

* Give Freya another damaging "Dragon" ability.

* Make Quina's spork do constant damage, and not just randomly high or low.

* Include WHY Fratley lost his memory, and maybe a scene where he and Freya fight together or something?

* Make Alexander summonable. That'd be brilliant :P (Or did he "die" when the Invincible destroyed Alexandria?)

* Only include the ATEs that will actually advance the plot. The pointless ones should be left out.

I hope I didn't think of all the good ones.

PS: I know this is very unlikely to actually happen, but it'll be fun to talk about.
 
I'd say they better not remake it, it won't be like FF7 and 8 knowing I hate 8
and if they want to remake it they should remove the white magic and black magic, give all the character the magic ability and about Zidane they have have to give him a good trance more like Cloud Limit Break and Squall Limit Break

Punctuation is your friend.

I thought of some more:

* Allow Zidane to NOT be in the party. Also, keep the four-man party, but make the swapping system more like FFX.

* Has anyone played "The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age"? Well, in that game when you're running about the map, you can change the character you want to be. So, instead of running around as Zidane all the time, it'd be cool if you could switch to be other characters.

* Make Kuja and Necron harder. I think they only had 60,000 HP. It should be more like 150,000 - 200,000 in my opinion.

EDIT:
* Add Beatrix to a lot more FMVs. Or just add some more FMVs in general.
 
More Beatrix!!

I know you already said that, but it's true! ^_^

I don't want them to make PS3 games that are good!! Crap, I only just caught up with the PS2 last year! I wanna have one system and one system only!

Off topic: Does anyone know if the PS3 will play PS2 and PSone games?
 
It would be nice to see it remade for the PS3, along with 7 & 8.

What would I like to see changed?... Sorry, Nothing. One of those good as is games. :D
 
I agree with everything you said, Grand_Lethal.
It can't be emphasized any more than that.
I particularly wish they would have changed the trance mode.
 
I reckon they should remake it for the PS3, yes, but sort of 'update' it. Keep the graphic style but improve it.

Make the music a higher quality, in terms of audio quality, and you've got a game that will sell millions. :)
 
Yeah, it'd be cool if they update it. I don't want them to change the storylines or anything...it's got a good one. Character development...well, they did good on that, as far as I think. And the music...ha! They completely perfected the music! Nothing more to say on that. ^_^
 
i agree with most of wat u sed and ps2 and ps1 games can b played uno wat playstation are like.
 
Nothing except the damn graphics better be changed. Changing a story ruins everything to some people; even a minute detail.

Kuja destroying Terra and going all "Trance-ish" on PS3 graphics, as well as the Alexander vs. Bahamut scene and the one versus Brahne..holy shit...!

I would so get this game! I'd wait though a few more generations though. Maybe PS5. :D
 
It would be cool if they could put in a opening hour or two with a new short stoty and maybe a short extension at the end. They could also put in a travelling merchant who could stock all the items from shops you've visited. So when some of the places become unavaliable you can still buy the items. Maybe a part of the story could include you controlling Kuja.

As amazing as that'd be, it'd be ultimately pointless, and would most likely ruin Kuja for me.

I can't say I'm opposed to the idea. Updated graphics would be a huge thing, and a few more Trance techniques would be amazing for the likes of Zidane and Freya, but I don't think there's much that needs to be changed. Perhaps making Beatrix available after completing some... ridiculously challenging side-quest - like attempting to get the Ultima Keyblade in KH - so the player gets that novelty later on in the game.
The combat system would do well for refined details too.

Generally, there's not much they could change to make it 'better.' That said, I'd still buy it. :p

The music could do with a re-vamping too.

Don't forget about the FMV that has the White Dragons flying out of Memoria, then Cid's Air Force comes and blows them all to smitherines :D

I wouldn't mind a few extra side-quests. For example, the whole Fratley & Freya thing could be explored a little bit more. A side-quest for Quina could be to go around all of the Marshes and find other ways of improving his/her Blue Magic (not just Frog Drop). It could also be a little extra for Vivi since he could learn more about his 'grandfather'. I think a side-quest where you could 'revive' Alexander and use him as a summon in battle would be pretty amazing. More powerful than Ark :D Exept I think the side-quest should be even harder than defeating Ozma ...

I personally think that Quina needs a better Trance Mode. It could be "Cook" and "Double Blue Magic". That'd make it so much more useful. And Quina's Trance Bar really needs to stop going down by half ¬_¬ Two turns in Trance is not enough.

Freya's Trance could be expanded too. How about she gets various Jump abilities? Her beginning one could be the rain of spears she does, then she could learn other abilities? Getting a new Trance ability in Gizamaluke's (sp?) Grotto sounds appropriate to me.

Instead of just glowing different colours, what if the party got a (slightly) different character design, just like Kuja did when he Tranced? I think that'd be better.

Beatrix as a side-quest character is a must. She's just too cool not to have on your team :P
 
I really loved final fantasy nine, but there is just one thing that i would have liked, besides amped graphics...

I would have liked for Beatrix to be a playable character, i know you play with her for a little while, but it would have been fun for her to be some Bad-ace extra character that you could keep.like you would have to choose certain choices in the game, or do some wacko side-quest, well, i just thought it would be interesting for beatrix to be a main character.
