The Story?

[jammi567]

But Edea is totally under Ultimecia's control, though.

[The Crystal]

that’s true thinking about it she’s quite a good villain i just like Edea as a villain when she is possessed by Ulti better!

What you are sying then, is that you like Ultimecia's personality but with Edea's look(body)?

To fix the script, several things need to happen:

1. The Squall/Rinoa thing needs to happen gradually. We go from "I hate you" to "I need Rinoa!" in 30 seconds flat. There were scenes which could have used reactions to create tension that didn't. Also, I personally think the story would be more dramatic coming from Rinoa's point-of-view, espeically if her character emphazised her more bad-ass rebel/warrior, family problems side. The Squall/Rinoa/Seifer dynamic would have had more room to grow that way. Plus, it is her journey - Squall just has a teenage revelation along the way.

2. The secondary characters need to have their own plotlines. They had great personalities, but we never got to know them. Also, the whole "we were all knew each other as kids but then forgot" thing is uncecessary. I'd drop it.

3. The villian arc needs to be steamlined. First, I don't think we need to get rid of Edea or Ulty or whatever. But it needs to be clear from the start that Edea is possessed, or at least that there is something off about her. I would have her begin as Cid's wife, but have her doing suspicious things. Gradually she would become more evil. Then, so when you find out she's possessed, it comes less out of left field.

On a similar note, Ulty needs some specific motivation - why go through all the time compression nonesense? Why not just blow up the planet? What exactly is she trying to accomplish?

This is explained in the game. If you Scan her final form, you will read "Ultimecia, transformed to absorb all time and space. Absorbing all existence as we speak." Ultimecia wanted to absorb existence and become God. Simple as that.

[abrojtm]

Change Squall from an angst-ridden teen to a legitamate protagonist.
Change Rinoa from a sleezy slut to a legitamate love interest.
Make Irvine come out of the closet.


...Yea, that's about it.

I thought the game said that she compressed time to destroy the SeeDs. Which was kind of stupid, considering she killed all the SeeDs in her time period.

[jammi567]

If that's true, then it would be the SeeD's you control

[TyphoonThaReapa]

I would give Rinoa a black girl's ass, Squall bullets for his gunblade, Take the coffee away from Selphie, Zell a more not gay habit, Quistis a black girl's ass, and kill Irvine. PERFECT!!!

[jammi567]

except that the gunblade isn't actually a gun. it's only a sword with a gun trigger attached to produce a vibration to make the sword do more damage

[silentenigma]

is their anything in the games story that you would like to change?

yes. everything.

[TyphoonThaReapa]

Well, I'll make it shoot dammit!

[Darth Anarcus]

The only two things I would change about the story are the following:

1. The orphanage revelation. That was quite unanimously considered crap by everyone, fan and non-fan alike.

2. The characters saw all kinds of war during the course of the game. War changes you. It's a proven fact. Yet the only one who changed was Squall? That's lazy writing and needs to be remedied. Let Irvine become the hero he aspired to be. Let Selphie learn to not be so naive and grow up. And Zell... Kill him off. He was completely useless and contributed absolutely nothing to the story at all, neither the plot nor personal character developement.

Other than that, I wouldn't touch a thing. The game is golden.

A'yo, you sound like Simon the American Idol jughe ....that's not cool

[Hazzard]

I agree with Typhoon.
I dont like the way you're applying that Zell should be killed off, because his character development isn't that up to scratch.
He was a great character, who i liked very much, plus he had helped you out in many tough spots, and he was a character made to humour the game players, and thats just what he did- made the game fun!!!

You do sound a bit like Simon Cowell from American idol though...

Sorry for having an opinion.
