If anything, they should put the Bela Lugosi look in Symphony of the Night.

The Vancian Magic System patch for FFI is amazing. Adds back in so much difficulty.

Now, all we need to do is throw back in Origin's normal setting stats and we'll have the best of all worlds.  This shouldn't be too much trouble outside of a lot of reading, but I have no idea what to do with the postgame stuff.

One could close off the postgame dungeons by removing the exits to them in the map feature data. Not sure how easy it would be to keep them locked until all four Crsytals are lit, but that would be another possibility.

There's a lot of things you'd need to do to bring FF1a closer to Origins. Off the top of my head there's spell formulas, the XP table, changing/removing new items like Ethers and [Stat] Plus, and making monsters use spells more often (Monsters in FF1a roll out of 200 instead of 128 when determining whether to cast a spell); those are matters for a separate patch. Perhaps somebody else will make a project in that direction - my own is going to stick with the MP system.
