I tell you what would be a nice start.....of a remake of FF7... to fix the dialog. There are lots of dialog in that game which makes absolutely no sense...I'm sure they are translation errors, or maybe the statements were to racey for America, and they couldn't think of anything to say...so they put in a bunch of giberish.
Best examples, are The couple outside the train station....the one that keeps saying WOW!. and then later on they colapse...I guess it's supposed to be funny, but it makes no sense to me. There are the two Shinra Guards on the bottom of the Piller backdrop. when you leave for the next mission, with Barret and Tifa, when you talk to the two guys, the conversition doesn't make sense. Guard 2 asks Guard 1 something like, 'Cloud, do you find me intemedating?....Lot's of times the same bubble text answers the question so it looks like only one Guard is talking. It has to be a screw up in the translation and bubble layout. Another that comes to mind is when Aeris tells Cloud "Not to let it get to you!" when they are in the Church and that guy walks in. That statement seems to have two meanings, when Im sure it was supposed to have only one. It could be taken, Don't let that guy bother you....like don't hurt him. Or it can be, Don't let him get near you!. I'm sure it's supposed to be the latter. But it can go either way, so it becomes confusing. These small things are all over the game. If you want to do some practice patches...this would be a good place to start, I think. You could also edit Barret's censors..heheh. And just about everything that Jessie says, doesn't sound quite right....Also what could be fixed is Jessie's Card excuse. And Yuffies and Cloud's first conversation on the Highwind. There is also a small matter of the way Gast's video tapes are named. In Japan your ages starts at conception.
The next step would be to alter the gameplay....reduce the damage of Cloud's party, and increase enemies hitpoints....stuff like that. Balance the gameplay, to where Tents are actually needed.
Anyway....guess I strayed.
