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.

Sometimes you can't fix something without dismissing the creators' vision.

In terms of core artistic vision, Squall/Rinoa is probably the biggest element -- a hardcore uncaring loner meets a lively girl who is determined to cheer him up and won't take no for an answer. And he learns to open his heart and experience love and all of that. So I understand the intent; it's just a completely unappealing theme to me. It's not something that can really be fixed with better execution. To me, to "fix" it is to rip out the romance that is the central theme.

I could get behind a rewrite that focused on the Squall/Seifer rivalry, as someone mentioned earlier. Just remove Rinoa entirely and go all-in on the rivalry aspect.
