If you could go back in time and become the executive director in charge of all decisions in the making of Final Fantasy 9, what would be the one thing you change?
For me, I loved the retro/cartoonie/Medeival-meets-Futuristic graphics, the cut scenes were great, the music was great, story line not too bad, and the towns and scenery were great. The chocobo side quests left me wanting a little more but the main thing I would change would be to pick your own team members.
The main reason I love FF1 and have played it a number of times is because you get to decide exactly what is in your party. I know, of the characters, you can pick who gets to be in your party at the time but not the characters themselves. Sure the main character has to be a clone for the story to work but he could be Cloud the warrior clone (no pun intended)or Rikku the theif clone. The love interest could easily be changed to match the choice of the main character. I know Steiner has to be a knight to drive the plot but he could be Kendra the female knight that took combat training from a monk. I know it would have been a little difficult to work out the kinks but it is what I would have changed. Changing dressspheres or garmetgrids or job classes is great but the cool thing about One is that you make a decision at the beginning that will effect the rest of the game and I think that would have been a great twist for Nine.
