suggestion for more rom hacks

[rodrigo]

I was just checking the cool ps2 rom hacks.

But I notice that there are no rom hacks for ps3...

Just think about how could a good rom hack solve the major issues for ps3...
for me the problems are the battles and lack of different stories for the third generations...

I don't know what could be added to ps3 by hacking it...but what would you suggest?

Faster walking speed comes to mind.

I think a RPG-Maker version should be better...

More, different and better-looking areas. Examples : a little wood with a lake, where Mieu is bathing at the beginning of the game ; or castles looking really like castles ; or a ruined village in Aquatica (where lies the passageway to Aridia). It includes differencing each planet, for example in the idea Landen is a "normal" planet and Elysum a "forest" planet, in the game there is no real difference, in the remake ther could be forest-like dungeons and battle backgrounds...

Add musics (from PS series, originals or remixes). There are 2 wonderful arrangements of PS3 for example :

And many more... (I freaky love video game music and remixes)

Set a different techniques system (disturbation isn't bad, but I don't really like the plot "I've already all my techniques when I join the party")

More techniques (why not sword moves for the princes, like "Air Slash" of Chaz ? Or "double slash" of Rika for Mieu ?), including elemental resists and weaknesses, and more status ailments (only poison and KO is poor...
).

A better class differenciation between chars. I know that classes aren't the interest of PS3 (but of FF5 or 9) and that with the disturbation you can change a little the abilities of the char (heal all, greatly heal one member, resurrect...), and even that there IS differenciation : princes are more or less brutal offensive, Wren is totally for brutal attack, Mieu is a powerful warrior and healer, Lyle and Kara (I've a doubt) are fearsome sorcerers (with only 4 Melee Techs !), Laya and her daughter are good healers. But it could be better if we had a swordsman with sword techs, a cyborg with anti-cyborg (ennemies) abilities, Laya with secret powers learned from her legendary sister...

Battle animations and display like PS4.

Explanations of the techniques. Even now, there are some techniques that I don't know what they do !

More bosses, with weak points if is it possible (with the techniques and status ailments expansions ideas). For example : a guardian in Sunken Palace.

And, most of all... A better narration !!!! Who is Lena ? Why the hell is Satera's princess in Landen dungeon ? Why there is an obvious passageway from jail to shop ? Why when Dark Force is free from Sunken Palace there is only a little text, and not graphical effects, apocalyptical music, monsters poppings, etc ? Who disturbed the weather and moons controls systems, and why ? And many other things... Including better stories differenciations, so possibly including new events (example : to be advertised of Satera's attack and help the defense of this castle, instead of being advertised when the castle is down and deserted).

Why not few side quests ? Like finding a way to cure Lyle in Ayn's quest for example. The reward could be an unique technique... or even old Lyle as a party member !

Note : for the System controls disturbed, amnesic Maia on the shores of Landen and Lena interested in finding Maia, I imagined a mini-prequel... Why not when the player complete the four endings ?

I didn't looked the youtube links trough but look from ocremix.

EDIT: Listened the youtube songs. I liked the first and the last.
This Nekoprism is really talented. I wonder why he/she hasn't uploaded his/her songs to ocremix...

I knew the "Nial and nowhere", but not the title, and I didn't know Legacy. Altough, I've about 11-12 remixes (even a midi remix that I find awesome, but midi poor quality...)
Thanks.

My Phantasy Star III Rom hack will be completed by Monday. That is my official release date. It would be VERY helpful if someone would point me to where I can find an organized monster list based on Generation/Character as opposed to it's type.
