Also, I don't think you get to say you're "fixing a game" if you are destroying the integrity of the plot and characters and world the creators built.

"Built" is a pretty strong word for the characters in VIII. The whole point is you could take out all the characters and replace them with any other characters and the plot of the game wouldn't suffer. Theyre like chrono cross characters.

So the difference is in my example I'm not completely disrespecting the writers and artists and creators by saying that an entirely new game should be created from scratch, and in your example, you don't understand that you are completely dismissing the intent of the creators and their vision. For example, at my shop, I've been asked many times how I would fix the Suicide Squad movie. I don't completely negate the entire plot. I may add some scenes or remove some scenes, but I keep the overall plot and characters intact, because "fixing" something and just doing what you want are two very separate things. Of course, "the fixes" are subjective, but in one frame of mind you are giving deference to the original creator and attempting to not change the spirit of the game, and in the other, you're being a self-entitled narcissist with a lack of creativity or even critical thinking and throwing away the entire game because "ME NO LIKE THIS CHARACTER" is good enough for you.
