Hmm...
1) Change the main villain. In fact, Kostjan's idea is pretty cool, now that I think about it, because all the scenes from Laguna's past give you a sense of empathy (if not sympathy) for the character. Having him suddenly turn out to be a bad guy (as long as there was good reason for it), would thus, be really cool... but I would probably just make Edea the main villain. She seemed like a good enemy, up until the end of Disk Two, at which point she stopped being the enemy, and the game got all fucked up.
2) No Esthar. I disliked Esthar. It looked cool, but once you get to Esthar, the game suddenly became very uninteresting to me (while before, I thought there might still be some promise to it...).
3) The orphanege thing. That sucked. Take it out.
4) Have Selphie stop jumping around. That was annoying.
5) Get rid of Zell.
6) Explain why Irvine fell in love with Selphie. Much like the Squall/Rinoa situation, that didn't make a whole lot of sense. One second, all he can think about is getting her in bed, the next Selphie is suddenly deeply in love with him, and vice-versa. Meanwhile, I'm left thinking "what the hell?".
7) Make Squall less of an asshole. All the characters in the game had the EXACT SAME PAST, and none of them turned out to be as fucked up as Squall. It makes very little sense.

The only things that I think must be changed in FF8 are the gameplay system and the love story, which probably means the whole game anyway... and I'm not that enthusiastic about the "Final Fantasy" brand name, so why don't they do a new game with a new name, like... Xenosaga? ;)

1. I agree with everyone on the ditching of the orphanage thing.(The GF's making them forget their past included.)
2. I didn't mind the Garden ideas too much. It should be a more diciplined atmosphere. It seemed more like daycare and less like an organization training kids to be mercenaries.
3. Seifer should be a playable character, as DS said.
4. Get rid of Irvine, the cowboy thing was just lame.
5. Kill off the ridiculous drawing factor.
Gotta go finish Phantasy Star II now.
