For example, Kefka appearing to club Gestahl over the head to knock him down... is that what he's doing? Or is he cutting him down with the same invisible sword he handed to Celes?

Actually knowing what the crap is going on in the Thamasa Massacre scene would be nice too, it leaves a bit too much to the imagination; Kefka suddenly has this beam attack that turns Espers into Magicite... what? More detail plz.

This thread sure has survived a long time

I agree with that.

Not only the violence, the game over all had a pretty dark tone that you sometimes couldn't see throughout the game, somehow people seem to also miss that every character other than like Umaro, Mog, Relm, and Strago had some kind of inner tormoil, granted somes were much more obvious than others, but it still existed.

I think that if this was remade, the darkness of the game over all, the despair the world is in even when it's in the world of balance, would be something that would just put people who never really put much thought into the game, in awe.

We all know this is my favorite game ever, but this game is like a book or movie to me, if you just ignore some of the cheesey things and put more thought onto the things that had a little more explanation, it's freaking golden cake just shining in front of you.

There is so much to this game, they could even add things into this without really screwing up the story line or character stories. Example, the way Locke acted with Celes being held clearly made him react. I think in the game when he talks about it, it's basically like, rachel makes him leave and then he talks about her getting killed while in the hands of the empire. I'd have to imagine, within reason, that he most likely tried to go find her, and either found her dead, or in the state Celes' was in, but more dead. He obviously got Rachel's body to the crazy guy to keep alive, because I doubt the empire was like "Oh we'll send her corpse back to the family so they can have a funeral", I would love to see that unfold.

I would also love to see more of Leo, the interactions between Celes and Leo and Kefka around the time of Terra being controlled. Flashbacks of when Kefka underwent the magic transfusion and lost his mind, and eventually his rise to the top (because it's been argued that he's a general, but then it's also said he was just a court-mage and why would a court-mage be like Ghestal's right hand man?).
With graphics, it would make the flashbacks better, Ghestal 19 years earlier taking the baby Terra, to the elderly Ghestal we seem to see in the game.
