Playing God.

[Davey Gaga]

I like to give my threads interesting titles.

If you could change any part of any Final Fantasy title, including the sequels and spin-off's, what would you change and why?

 

[Daenerys]

I'd make Aerith die at the end of the game, just because I liked using her and her limits would have been awesome against the weapons.

More optional characters in VIII and up.

Make Edea a permanent character in VIII.

Make Beatrix a permanent character in IX.

Give Penelo a backstory.

 

[Warbsywoo]

I'd disagree with Aerith dying at the end. I'd keep her death where it's at in the plot just 'cause it was so unexpected and moving. Sure it can still be moving at the end of the game, but I don't think it would have the same kind of dramatic effect as the current game's death. 'cause you know...she takes your materia and there's no way to play her anymore. xD

I'd like to change...the laughing scene. Or actually the whole voice-over cast from Final Fantasy X. No offense to supporters, but I found the voice actors horrible.

 

[Rydia]

Make XII worth my time to play

Destroy X2 from ever coming to existence.

Make XI an actual game and call the online XI Final Fantasy Online.

Make Aerti cannon in VII And add some lesbian action.

 

[Rockman X]

Make XII worth my time to play

Pwned.

Destroy X2 from ever coming to existence.

Right with you on that one.

Make XI an actual game and call the online XI Final Fantasy Online.

Fully agree. XI doesn't deserve a number (course neither does XII).

Make Aerti cannon in VII And add some lesbian action.

Hey now, don't be forgetting Yuffie in this action

Things I'd change:
1. Erase AC and all VII spinoffs from existence
2. Halt production on Dissidia and make it nothing more than a bad rumor
3. Kill all thoughts Sakaguchi ever had on Spirits Within, without that abomination we'd still have our precious Squaresoft
4. Make them spend more time on XII so it didn't feel like a damn beta with bricks for characters
5. Allow the player to choose sides in XII (that way I could play on Archadea's side)

 

[Darkstar]

I'd take away the numbers from 11 and 12, make 11, FF Online, and 12 would be just a part of the Ivalice alliance. Deny that we made ffX-2, and call it a hoax. re-create FF7 once and for all, then stop the killing of the poor game, stop all sequals to any of the numbers, make ff13: ff11.

 

[Misty]

Wow, really am feeling the LOVE for FFXII here.
Let's see...seeing as FFXII was worthy, to me anywho, all I'd have to change is only a few things:
- Save the Judges. Of course. Somehow, I just need to think on methods.
- Kill Balthier at the end. Make it so that he dies saving Fran.
- Change some cutscenes to FMV's

For other games...
FFVIII:
- Kill Rinoa somehow.
- Hey, make the main cast INTERESTING.
- Er, ummm...that's eet I think.

FFVII:
- Make it less emo.
- Kill Cloud.
- AND THE FECKING COMPILATION!

FFVI:
- Less useless characters.
- Summon more then once per battle.

Meh, can't be bothered to think of anything else right now. Well, I could launch into a FFXII debate, but it's really not worth my time now.

 

[Moogles]

Final Fantasy X:

• I'd have Tidus suffer a gruesome, bloody death. It'd have some humor to it, too. Like...it looks like there's gonna be a happy ending, but then he suddenly meets an unfortunate end.

• Incorporate a world map to add more exploration. The game feels too linear.

• Remove the laughing scene...disgusting.

Final Fantasy XII:

• Completely change the cast of characters, making them semi-interesting.

• Go back to the classic Final Fantasy battle system.

I'm no fan of FFXII. Don't crucify me...

 

[Ayako Hikumi]

Well, for FFVIII, I'd really like to kill Rinoa. She SUCKS!

And, the laughing scene in FFX is ANNOYING and POINTLESS!

 

[Bambi]

I'm feeling the whole kill the sequel vibe here, coz I can neither afford them nor keep up (and they are just raping VII's storyline) Id also make sure the bloody thing was translated properly and Id make sure Yuffie & Vincent got some screen time aswel (as like unlockable scenes obviously)

Id like to make the whole time compression thing in VIII make a little more sense. I'd give Quistis a bf at the end aswel, 'cause she was lonely

XII - I'd damn well make sure they all had a decent back story, especially Vaan seeing as he is like the most pointless main character to EVER exist. I would also try to find a happy medium between the new and old battle system. It was too much for my old brain to take in ....

 

[Misty]

I don't get it about the battle system with XII - I know people won't like everything, but I don't if people hate it because of a) random battles or b) Because of the ATB/whatever thingymajig setting. So some people clear this up for me plz. If it's because random battles..well, it's not exactly classic FF battling.

XII's had a decent backstory. Most..anywho.

VoN, I won't crucify you, I'll just have an entertaining debate with ya if I'm in the right mood

 

[Rockman X]

Final Fantasy X:

• Remove the laughing scene...disgusting.

Even better suggestion: hire GOOD voice actors. That was the biggest problem with the game. I'd also make Kimahri a worthy dragoon. And I'd give Auron a fekking personality. And I'd kill Wakka.

Final Fantasy XII:

• Completely change the cast of characters, making them semi-interesting.

• Go back to the classic Final Fantasy battle system.

I'm no fan of FFXII. Don't crucify me...

Well we could just alter the characters. Change Ashe from being an ungrateful bitch to, I don't know, a polite, grateful princess who appreciates the people helping her. Make Penlo have more than 5 lines. Give Vaan abs that don't look painted on and a nose that couldn't stab someone's eye out. Give Basch new clothes. Give Reddas new clothes, but keep the mutton chops since those were hilarious. Let people using daggers double-wield.

And I want epic battles. You have such massive areas and troops on the move...not ONCE do you ever encounter any brigades in the outdoors. So add that in, and if that happened you'd be able to bring out all six party members. Or something. It sounds cool anyway.

I don't get it about the battle system with XII - I know people won't like everything, but I don't if people hate it because of a) random battles or b) Because of the ATB/whatever thingymajig setting.

Battles in XII were nothing more than a novelty. For the first hour or so it was pretty cool to be able to run your characters around in real time in battle, and it was cool to watch the different ways they handle weapons and pose after a boss battle. It gets boring after a short while though, just sitting there watching your characters hack away. The game isn't very involving, since once you set up gambits the character does everything for you but run. And the gambits were a pain in the ass to set up; VII, IX and even X had better systems. It's not much of a game when the game can play itself.

Need I mention the Negalmuur auto-leveling trick? Perfect example. When you can set up the game to auto-lvl your characters and you can leave the game on for 48 hours and still be alive and well, it goes from being a game to a programmable robot. I know gamers are lazy these days, but we still want to play our damn games. Only reason I even exploited that trick was because it takes TOO LONG to gain EXP, even WITH embroidered tippets on three of my characters it took around 48 hours to get their lvls from the 40's to the 90's. That's just retarded. And yes, I am aware you can play without gambits, I did so for about half the game. It makes things incredibly slow and tedious and works nowhere near as well as the ATB or CTB in previous games.

I say give XII the CTB system from X, it was perfection.

XII's had a decent backstory. Most..anywho.

Very much disagree there, but I ranted too much already and won't get into it.

 

[Grand Lethal]

XII:
1) Have the characters re-designed. Especially Ashe ...
2) Give the characters more backstory and interaction and development.
3) Give the plot more ... plot. I'd've involved the Espers more, and given them backstory that you actually heard and not just read about X_X I'd've closed the Occuria plotline too.
4) Make Espers and Guest characters controllable and actually useful ...
5) Introduce set classes. Fran as a Blue Mage, no matter what. I mean, all that knowledge about the Mist and how to manipulate it ... and ... nothing. Also, a Bangaa as a party member. Possibly a Dragoon, with an actual Jump ability.
6) As VR said, Epic battles. All six party members involved. I mean, I was against an EMPIRE ... and I owned them with 3 people?
7) More Quickening possibilities ... and redo them so they don't suck damage wise, and cost MP to cast, but not ALL the MP.
8) Add a World Map.
9) Easier levelling.


XI:
As it's been said, rename this as "Final Fantasy Online" and make this an actual game.

X-2:
1) Kill Brother.
2) Give it a plot.
3) Keep to the lore of the game and not feck up the Dress-Spheres ¬_¬
4) Re-designed characters.
5) Don't try to arse-rape VII's fandom by coming up with that ShinRa crap.
6) Make ALL of the Gullwings usable.
7) Keep character personalities from X.
8) Get rid of the shitting mini-games of DOOM.
9) Kill Brother.

X:
1) Wakka = Dead, or at least be re-designed and not have that accent ¬_¬
2) More overdrive possibilities for Yuna, Lulu, Rikku and Kimahri
3) Make Blue Magic more accessable.
4) Add more landmass for exploration. Felt far too linear to me ...
5) Add a World Map.
6) Give Auron a FMV death.
7) New voice actors for the cast, bar the girls.
8) Faster sphere gaining. I'm not a fan of grinding.
9) Make the last Boss not suck, and re-design him from a bug into an actual villain.

IX:
1) Make Trance more useful.
2) Make Beatrix a more used character.
3) Make sense of the ending, with Vivi's children (and so he doesn't supposedly die T_T)
4) Give side-characters more purpose to the plot and a bit more backstory. Character development for some characters would be a bonus.
5) More glorious FMVs =D

VIII:
1) Make Squall not such a wanker.
2) Kill Zell, Rinoa and Selphie.

VII:
1) Kill Cid. What a bastard.
2) Make Limit Breaks easier to acquire ¬_¬
3) Give Sephiroth a personality. And make his villainy not suck.

III:
1) Expand a lot more on the plot.
2) Expand a lot more on the characters' personalities, backstories and development.
3) More Save spaces, and more areas where you can save (I'm looking at you, WORLD OF DARKNESS ¬_¬)
4) Make Xande not suck.
5) More summons add "Ultima" as a spell.

 

[Lady Mjrn]

FFX: 1.) I'd shoot the voice directors. Srsly.

2.) Get rid of Blitzball.><

3.) Redo Tidus' character entirely.. make him more likeable, and less of a whiny, spoiled brat.

4.) Wakka/Rikku FTW.<333


FFX-2: What's FFX-2? You mean that fanfic?

FFIX: Make it less BORING for God's sake. x_o

FFXII: Input more viera, and replace Vaan as the lead character with either Ashe, or Balthier. That is all.

 

[Grand Lethal]

I almost forgot:

XII:
Expand the World Map. Where the hell was Nabradia?! It was supposed to be Rasler's kingdom ... and its not on the map?

X:
Redesign Tidus, Kimahri, Wakka, Jecht, Rikku and Lulu.
Blitzball. KILL IT! NOW!

 

[Rockman X]

2.) Get rid of Blitzball.><

YES. Oh god, that game was horrible. I think the worst of it was sitting through that freaking tournament and actually having to play the bloody thing.

FFX-2: What's FFX-2? You mean that fanfic?

I'm pretty sure there are better fanfic sequels to X out there than X-2.

FFIX: Make it less BORING for God's sake. x_o

Eh...what? o__O Are you sure you're talking about IX? It was far from boring.

FFXII: Input more viera, and replace Vaan as the lead character with either Ashe, or Balthier. That is all.

Replace him with Balthier. Scrap Ashe altogether. Then add in viera love scenes for the hell of it

 

[Bambi]

2.) Get rid of Blitzball.><

I agree with that aswel, It was ok at first but did they really have to make the matches so bloody long?
I swear I wasted like 50 hours of my life on that counfounded game

So yer, Id either do away with it altogether or cut the length of the matches down to *at least* half the time they are

 

[Davey Gaga]

YES. Oh god, that game was horrible. I think the worst of it was sitting through that freaking tournament and actually having to play the bloody thing.

Eh...what? o__O Are you sure you're talking about IX? It was far from boring.

You see, this may be where some people have tendencies to disagree with you and end up having out-of-proportion arguments with you, namely the thong thread. In that first quote, you're talking like everyone else who agrees with you that X needs changed, whereas in the second quote, you're acting as if someone's off their rocker because they disliked IX and maybe preferred something else to it. It's almost as if your intolerable to disagreements - which I'd doubt is the case, but that's how you're coming off, recently.

Replace him with Balthier. Scrap Ashe altogether.

Just to back up my point, if I was to disagree with this, you'd go off on one, really. However, now that I've mentioned it, you'll probably do all that you can to avoid it.

 

[Lady Mjrn]

I actually meant that XI was boring, not IX.. IX wasn't my favorite game in the series, though, I never finished the last disc on account that I started playing X, and that one sparked my interest a lot more than IX did.

Go away Riku, you're annoying, all you ever do is try to start crap. I never acted like Lillyane was "off her rocker", I like her actually. I was just surprised to see that she said it was boring and wanted to make sure she actually meant IX, and if she did, why.

I actually meant that XI was boring, not IX.. IX wasn't my favorite game in the series, though, I never finished the last disc on account that I started playing X, and that one sparked my interest a lot more than IX did.

And see? She meant XI It's a shame that X sparked her interest more, but I'm not flipping out over it.

It's not much of a surprise that you moved to X on the last disc of IX though, it DOES get kinda boring...SO! As another proposed change:

Add more stuff to the fourth disc so it's not so damn slow. As much as I love IX, I'll admit the fourth disc is boring. All that's left to do on it is finish up sidequests and beat the game (ala VII's third disc).
