I think it would have been interesting if the re-releases of IV, V and VI had a separate "hard mode" option. Similar to how FF I and II had an "easy" and "normal" mode option.

Some ideas:

-Make items and equipment more expensive, while enemies drop less gold.

-Tweak characters stats. Say maybe their stats increase fifteen percent less than they would on leveling up in the original? Another option would be increase the exp. required to level up~

-Tweak enemy stats. Maybe increase some stats or remove some immunities. Change enemy behaviors.

-Tweak the stat increases associated with Magicite. Or get rid of them completely.

-Tweak the rates at which characters learn magic. For example, a spell that grows at a x5 rate in the original could grow at x3. Alternatively, use a system similar to FF IX (though that would be my second option).

I think changing numbers might make the game more challenging but I dont think it would in any way make the game more fun. Atleast not to anyone playing it again.
