You're given the task of creating an remastered re-release of Final Fantasy XIII, and you're given the resources to make some adjustments to the game. Enough that you can make changes roughly equivalent to other FF 'international' re-releases. What would you do to significantly improve XIII? Try and keep it vaguely realistic.
So previous things that international or similar re-releases have done include:
-Significant gameplay upgrades, like the job system in XII, or the ability to use nearly all characters in IV.
-Quality of life improvements, such as the game speed increase in XII, or boosters is VII-X
-Graphical upgrades. Lighting, textures, anti aliasing, simple model upgrades.
-Content, like superbosses in VII and X, or entire dungeons like in IV, V and VI Advance.
So for me the first thing I'd do is make it possible to travel back to lots of previous zones by adding in more c'ieth stones, and add in lots more hunts. That way it's be a little less straight line-y.
I'd also add in settlements into the various areas in XIII. Not towns as that'd be too much work, but simple groups of people with the odd sidequests.
Finally I'd give you more stuff to do in Nautilus.
P.s. Reason I'm writing this is because I totally expect a remaster in 2 years.
