The Playstation 1 was one of the greatest consoles to ever grace our shores and when it came to JRPGs it has arguably among the best of the best. From Final Fantasy 7-9 To Suikoden but since the Playstation 1 a lot of the great JPRGs have either just died or had a few sequels which died for various reasons we are here today to discuss our top 8 JRPGs we would love to see grace our modern day console and this list is in no particular order.
Bitmap Books' latest could be its best yet.

I wish we lived in the Alternate Timeline where Sega was still a dominant force in the console space and it hadn't been Microsoft.
Saturn was a fantastic piece of kit... they just went a little too ambitious with its dual CPU setup. which turned a lot of developers off (at the time). The homebrew community have done some amazing work many years later, thanks to multichip experience. It is still the best platform for arcade fighters and shmups of all time. Dreamcast is a close 2nd though.
Yeah it was a interesting decision especially when looking at how dual CPU is considered a root cause of why the Jaguar was a failure.
Also the hardware rendered four sided polygons where the standard was three if they kept with triangle polygons I feel the systems development would have been easier to work with and we would have seen more third party ports in the west.
I think it was a victim of its time more than anything it saw huge success in Japan but the leadership and internal turmoil in the west meant games were not getting localised along with a focus on arcade like games were the PlayStation and later the N64 were pushing more in depth experiences over coin munching high score driven games.
I still enjoy my Saturn it was the first console I mowed lawns for and saved up for to purchase. I went so far as to purchase a used Saturn to run off an SD card. I even have a second Dreamcast modded to run off an SD card as well.
The second edition of gamescom latam brought some heavy hitters from some of the best developers in Brazil.
Legend Of Dragoon.
Were is Xenogears? I play still play it once every year.
Have to say that because of the current state of the industry, because they'd be remade to "appeal to a wider audience", be over the shoulder third person and be focused on graphical detail rather than world and combat mechanics, probably be about delivering a social message in regards to sexism and/or violence, no to all of them.
There needs to be a NEW Vagrant Story.
A sequel to Suikoden
A new Vagrant Story that takes cues from part one and not two or the more recent one.
Definitely Parasite Eve, that is such an awesome game. It's a shame that Square has been ignoring that IP for the new consoles.
