Oh, where do I begin? There are so many things I would change about this game. Spoilers ahead for those who haven't played/beaten the game:

First and foremost, there would be no random concerts/singing for no reason. I honestly saw no point in those scenes other then an excuse to flash pretty graphics with pretty music. Granted, the 1000 Words concert was touching, but I assure you, it's sensitivity did not come from the Yuna singing.

I didn't like the posing. Or the dresspheres. Those would have to go, simply because it's too Powerpuff Girls/Charlie's Angels/Sailor Moon for me. If anything, I would probably change it to the point where each girl had at least three different classes to choose from, and instead of changing costumes, they would just change weapons/abilities. Nothing flashy/Sailor Moon transformation or anything. Just a nice sound effect and a different weapon.

Sphere hunting was interesting, and so were the Gullwings. They're a keeper. And speaking of "keeping", Yuna and Rikku would be keeping their clothes on. I'm sorry, but Rikku looked like an underaged prostitute in 90% of her costumes and brought a whole new definition to the term "dumb blonde". She and Yuna would get a new costume (I'm aware that it would be difficult to climb mountains and run after the bad guys when you're wearing an ankle-length semi-kimono), but they would look more "adventurous" and less "stripper".

Character developement is a must. I'm aware that Yuna did become more confident in Final Fantasy X-2, but she went from a sweet, smart summoner to Rinoa. And that's never a good thing to become. I would prefer it if Yuna kept most of the mystery that she had in Final Fantasy X, and then gradually become more confident and open with people without being annoying. Rikku needed some major character developement too. She went from cute to "kill me". I'd prefer it if she had a more mature role. Still cute and upbeat and happy, but able to get straight to business and be serious without coming off as whiny or bratty in the process.

The weapons they weilded would have the spirits of the warriors who weld them before Yuna, Rikku and Paine did. This would be where they would get their strength to Overdrive. There would definately be a sidequest concerning those spirits as well.

Interesting bosses. Shuyin was okay, but not in the least bit interesting. And LeBlanc and her gang would never, ever exist. Seymour probably would not make a comeback, but I'm sure his memory would haunt Yuna. There would probably be a sidequest concerning that too.

The minor/secondary characters from the first game (Cid, Issaru, Luzzu/Gatta, Shelinda, the Chocobo knights, etc) would have larger roles in the second game. They might join the party, or do something more important then just making a cameo appearance.

[SPOILERS]
One thing that they forgot in FFX-2: There was absolutely no connection between Shuyin and Tidus other then the fact that they looked similiar. I would have definately touched up on that one.

Speaking of Tidus, he would NOT be revived at the end of the game. He's gone, and he stays gone. just like Aeris. Part of Yuna's character developement would be able to go on living without him, and being okay with that. Perhaps even move on with someone else rather then looking for a way to revive him.[/SPOILERS]

Ther are probably many other things I would change about this game and I'll be sure to post them if more come to mind.
