The petitions are very open-ended anyway -- the terms are just guidelines. I'm definitely with you that graphics aren't as important in 8, but just because things go high quality doesn't mean that the quirks have to get thrown out. Zell can shadowbox just as well in hi-def.
@Kyreaan: Try sticking your ideas on the FFREMAKE forum or emailing the site owner, I don't want to take credit for them
no, i don't want, because i think they S.E also change the story line, the recent final fantasy 8 is done well by S.E for me.
Why would SE change the storyline? They didn't seem to as far as I know in the DS remakes -- in fact, look at how fantastic the FFIV one was because it was ported to a more advanced console! The storyline couldn't have been half as interesting or the deaths nearly as meaningful without the voice acting (not to say it wasn't a good game originally)
