I don't know what can be done in Zelda. They could eliminate some temples and items and replace them with others, but some will react badly to those changes. Nintendo is in a "damned if you do, and damned if you don't" situation.

About Final Fantasy, combat is not much of a problem, but the whole experience is. They have lost (at least to me) some of that "magic" that it once had. I think they should do a back to basics approach. Forget future and weird things/invocations and do a more medieval themed one. With steam machines to help explore huge areas but with a more romantic, in a not sentimental meaning, touch.

I would have to agree.

It is difficult to tell what can be done to The Legend of Zelda to improve it; it's one of those games that people enjoy because of the original gameplay. People enjoyed Zelda because you went around searching for items and treasures that helped you solve dungeons, while defeating enemies in a huge overworld; that's what makes Zelda what it is. If change that, you change the whole series and people wouldn't be pleased with it anymore. But at the same time, it has stagnated, and gone through almost no major changes; in almost every game except for a few, the setting is Hyrule in some ancient timeframe, and the plot is somewhat the same throughout.

This is bad, too, because when people finally get tired of it, there will be little that can be done to save it.

With respect to FF, I would also have to agree with JEMC.

Mario RPG?

You wouldn't like to at least see Mario:RPG make a comeback? You wouldn't mind seeing Zelda in an RPG? I think it would be a good collaboration and could very well be a start of new series for Zelda games. It would give us a new outlook on Zelda. It could coexist the same way 2D Mario and 3D Mario games

I agree.

 Also making too many changes is not the solution to everything. Maybe is just that I like the zelda-formula too much that I dont really get tired of going back and forth to find items, weapon, bugs an such. Voice acting is not necessary IMO, Zelda is fine just like it is, obviously there is always room to improve things, but I bet the new zelda for wiiU (even more if it looks like the tech demo shown on the last e3) will leave people speachless... Zelda SS is a masterpiece IMO, the only problem I see with the game is that the wii limited many of their ideas. I see kingdoms of Amalur like a reference for future zelda games (Graphic wise) and I can only see a bright future for link and zelda.

 FF is another story, while the combat system is not the best IMO, I do agree that FF is not the same anymore. I do remember playing FFVI (best FF IMO) I loved everything on that game, the world, the story, lots of interesting characters, and the overall feeling that you were playing something really magical, were magic was something normal yet still enigmatic/hidden. What I like about DQ is that even do it looks like the same game from 20 years ago, the identity is still there, ever since the first minute you know and you feel you are playing DQ, I hope I could say the same from FF.

I know but they can spruce it up though,like make the setting into the near future but keep it fantasish like ff13,Maybe introduce magic spells like zelda 2,add more mature themes and put emphasis on them like death and love,make Link die while trying..idk something,The games are still good but they are coming too predictable

well it was trying to rectify problems that shouldn't have been there in the first game

i would love a 2d zelda game like A link to the past. It was the best in the series.
Final Fantasy should like others said go back to turn based battles

they could do that but then fans would also retaliate for not evolving the series and keeping it too traditional

And...? Who cares? The "Fans" would retaliate anything and everything.
