This game was just so.........cool. Awesomely skilled teenagers with even more awesome weapons travelling all over the world to engage in political struggles -- to me, this will always be one of the best Final Fantasies. It seemed to go past the level we expect in a lot of the games in terms of storyline, going down darker and more mature paths. Also, the lack of censoring for most of the language seemed to give the game a bit more character. Whether you were making cold tactical decisions or sniping dangerous targets according to complex plans, there were always more surprises and developments around the corner.
In a high resolution remake, the graphics would improve, but it would be the gameplay which could really transform things. Whether shooting and slicing with the Lionheart or lashing your foes into submission with Quistis's whip, actually being able to control characters in 3D action could bring this game close to perfect.

A Note on Petition Conditions: Obviously, the conditions on FFREMAKE petitions are going to be far from flawless for most people, since we all have different preferences as to what remakes should be like. This is the main reason why they are so general. If you have any complaints or suggestions, I remind you to post them in the forums. Petition comments are useful feedback for me, but since they aren't public there isn't much I can do with them in terms of making new petitions.
