Suggestions for the Remake for DS

[Twilite99]

as we know, final fantasy 1-4 have been remade and remastered. why not continue with 5? here i offer my suggestions for the new version(hopefully for ds). all suggestions,advice,criticism are welcome.

Job related suggestions.
---------------------------
as we know, ff5 is famous for the longest list of available jobs in final fantas history, and with the GBA version, it offered 4 new job classes. thus adding even more popularity. however some people believe they come to late in the game to do any good. and i agree, for the most part. anyway, here is MY suggestions for the job list that should be featured in ff5(DS).

Twilite99 out for now

[Heath]

I'd be quite happy for them to keep FFV as it is if they remade it. I've not bought FFIV-DS yet to see how the additions to that game have worked out and I've still not played the GBA version to try the new job classes, but I'm pretty happy with how FFV is at the moment. Some nice updates to the quality of the music and the graphics wouldn't go amiss though.

[Wolf Kanno]

I feel V is in pretty good shape to be honest in the gameplay department. I feel they should pull a FFT:WotL and for the most part keep it the way it is. If they do decide to keep the classes introduced from the GBA version, I only ask that you acquire them earlier (like around the time Galuf bites the big one) cause despite being unique and fun, they are all practically useless on arrival since you get them so freaking late in the game.

As for your suggestions Twilite99, I just wish to point out that many of those classes already exist in the game (Pictomancer is basically the Trainer class) and my issue is that some of those classes may break the delicate balance the game has to offer in terms of difficulty.

For what I personally want, I would prefer a console remake, full (and good) voice acting, retouched music, and increased difficulty like FFIV. V is easily one of my favorites in the series and like Heath, I'm pretty happy with it.

[Levian]

For me, much of the excitement in FFV comes from not knowing which ability you get when you gain a job level, so I hope they ditch some abilities, gets some new ones or whatever.

[demondude]

Bartz should be changed to Butz, and he should look like my avatar, but in 3-D form.

[Roogle]

It would be nice to see some of the newer jobs in Final Fantasy incorporated into the older title to make Final Fantasy V an authority on the job class system in the role-playing game world.

[sdm42393]

full (and good) voice acting,

If it stuck with the more humorous script of the GBA version I could see it having laughably cheesy voice acting. I wouldn't mind that.

[Jowy]

Rouge.
Rouge.
Rouge.

ROGUE, MOTHERsmurfER. SPELL IT PROPERLY OR DELETE YOUR smurfING CHARACTER.

[Karellen]

Change the character designs to make them look like the Amano art rather then the bland nonsense that ended up in the game.

That's about it. Anything else would require a complete restructuring of the game, which I wouldn't raise my hopes high enough to expect.

[Dr. Acula]

It should be like the GBA version, but with voice acting and 3D graphics.

I don't know whether I want the character designs to be close to the original Amano art or like the in-game sprites. I rather like Faris' purple hair, but the Amano designs would look better in-game. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Twilite99]

thanks for teh replies.

[Blue Harvest]

They shouldn't add new job classes that are a mix of old ones with the same abilities, but a few new ones like Gambler and Dark Knight/Paladin would be good. I also agree that the new GBA jobs should be reused and gotten when Galuf dies (the crystal shatters, so it should give new jobs. Same with the other three from the second world).

[Tevious]

I just hope that they take some time to expand on the story and characters to give it as much depth as possible. Let FFV have a re-imaging to give it a breath of fresh air and to modernize it, yet at the same time stay familiar to the original game.

Lets not have every map remain almost 100% identical, tile for tile; essentially making the game the same but in 3D. If people want to play the original, then there's more than enough versions of it already.

Make the DS version as if they were making the game for the 1st time with the same concepts and general story.

[Unstoppable Pig]

This scene redone in as FMV.

[sdm42393]

Change the character designs to make them look like the Amano art rather then the bland nonsense that ended up in the game.

I'm usually one for going by the Amano art but I thought it was terrible for this game.
