WOW! I'm amazed that 3 people have responded to my post so far... It's only been up for a couple of hours. To answer both of your questions:

(1) I'm remaking Final Fantasy I for the PC because I always thought it would be great if the same options were available in FF1 that are available in the later FF games (ie. summons, more sidequests, job system, etc). Once I have the game accurately remade, I can then go back and add things, which will (of course) be optional for gameplay.
One idea that ran across my mind was an additional sidequest from Bahamut, in which you will get a key to a secret dungeon, leading to a dark world, full of all kinds of new things!

(2) I chose the FF3 sprites (I also used FF3 map sprites) because I plan to add additional *secret* classes in the new 'dark world', and I want them to be uniform--No tiny heads and bigger bodies as in the original!
Therefore the sprites for the original classes are as follows:

Fighter (FF1)
Thief (FF3)
Bl.Belt (changed to Monk--FF3)
Red Mage (FF1)
Bl.Mage (FF1)
Wh.Mage (FF1)

Knight (FF3)
Ninja (FF3)
Master (or Karateka--FF3)
Red Wizard (FF3--and yes, there IS a difference!!)
Bl.Wizard (FF3 Warlock)
Wh.Wizard (FF3 Shaman)

I will probably draw up some new sprites as well...
Thanks for your interest!


**MY QUESTION: Azar--when you say 'it's been done,' are you referring to the official remakes, or a fan remake? If it is a fan remake, do you have a link or something? I have been looking for one for a long time!**
