5 RPGs that need to be Remade That Don

Paul writes: "As much fun as it would be to play A Link To The Past, there is no way that Nintendo would allow that to be remade for Microsoft’s black box, so even though it had a massive effect on me as a younger man, it won't appear in this list. But other than that, here, in no particular order, are the five RPGs that I'd like to see remade that don't include the words "Final" or "Fantasy"."

[Geobros]

When I read the headlink I was sure about Chrono Trigger....what a game?? Secret of Mana was epic too!! The rest I have not played yet.

[ecchiless]

games i would love a remake and sequel , vagrant story, crono cross, xenogears(fuck xenosaga and xenoblade), legend of dragoon, parasite eve.

edit: and persona 2, eternal and sin, i need that remake so bad

[notachance]

ooo yeah xenogears, back when xeno has dark and serious story and none of that weaboo underage big breasted characters

[indysurfn]

legend of dragoon, parasite eve I liked the first two xenosagas a lot ESPECIALLY the music by Yuki Kajiura!
Thats my girl (DREAMING OF COURSE).

Anyway as far as overall games, legend of dragoon, parasite eve, and skys of Arcadia for the win!

[Retroman]

Go to Releases.com.
Legend of dragoon is a up coming PS4 title.
I kid you not.
I was hoping to find New ratchet and clank title and
Stubble on Dragoon title.

[SilverDemon]

Secret of Mana already got a remake

I heard it wasn't so good

[Razmiran]

Its not

[SegaGamer]

Dragon Quest VIII does not need to be remade. If anything, I would take a HD remaster of the game, but it doesn't need a remake.

[deathtok]

Exactly. Up-res the PS2 version and include quality of life improvements from the 3DS.

[meep316]

not up-res, change render resolution and its done. Its a simple config change that can be done easily with an emulator. Heres how it looks at 1080p https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[indysurfn]

LOL yes I would agree. Especially if it is ffVII type of remake.

[meep316]

Only if they dont insult my intelligence by calling it a "remaster". this is how it looks with render resoltuion changed to 1080p, this is just a config change. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

it could use a little ui work though.

[ElementX]

I would like to see Lands of Lore: Throne of Chaos and Stonekeep remade. They were pretty good back in the 90s but I dunno if the game play would hold up today, they would probably have to get rid of the old grid movement system.

[Razmiran]

I think theres still a niche place in the market for grid based games
That said, Id kill for a throne of chaos remake
Never played stonekeep, should I?

[killswitch80]

I would like to see a complete remake of Grandia II

[Zeldafan64]

I believe Grandia I and II are already being remade.

[addictedtochaos]

Remastered not remade.

[Nebaku]

Is 2 better than 3? I've only played 3, and LOVED the battle system, but the story and world were as cliche as a ps2 rpg could get.

[Lazyeye79]

Arc the Lad was a fun game. Would like to see that remade.

[gangsta_red]

Parasite Eve is an absolute must, I wish Square would give that game some type of love for the new gen.

[Eidolon]

Didn't SquareEnix file for the trademark a while back?

[gangsta_red]

I thought they put out a Japanese mobile only game not long ago. But other than that I have no idea.

[Razmiran]

I dont think they can remake the first game due to a rights issue with the novel

[pietro1212]

Vagrant Story and Xenoblade deserve a remake

[franwex]

I think Xenoblade just needs a remaster. Better audio and graphics to really make it shine!

I’m still not sure what sorcery Nintendo pulled to make it all fit on 1 disc. It’s a massive game!

[pietro1212]

My bad, I meant Xenogears

[pietro1212]

Edit * Vagrant Story and Xenogears

[djl3485]

No. Some classics do not need a remake, aka Chrono Trigger. Secret of Mana didn't need a remake but it got one anyway and it was bad.

Also, the fact that you put Secret of Man on the list when it had a remake so how bad your journalism is.

[TheTimeDoctor]

Lunar silver star and eternal blue!

[PiNkFaIrYbOi]

Secret Of Mana already was remade.

Chrono Trigger and Parasite Eve wouldn't trust SE to do a good enough job on them to do them justice.

Never understood the love that Dragon Quest VIII got, while it is a good game I believe that some of the earlier games were better.

As for Shin Megami Tensei/Persona franchise never been a big fan so have no care if any of them are remade.

[jreeves82]

What about Legend of Dragoon and Grandia 2

[SlagWolf]

Xenogears and Star Ocean 2 top my list

[pietro1212]

Yes, Square should team up with Monolith Soft (most of the original Xenogears team) and Nintendo for a remake. I don't trust Square enough for a in house developed remake.

[Zeldafan64]

Square teamed up with Monolith Soft in Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

[Miraak82]

These and Phantasy Star 4 , these are the games that fueled my love for sci fi back in the day and haven't really been toppled off my favorite games of all time . Only a handful of other sci fi games have satisfied that itch

[PhantomS42]

I would love Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 to be remade, heck I'd settle for remastered. Give me all the Shin Megami Tensei games ported up.

[FRA85]

Legend of dragoon
Chrono trigger
Wild arms
Breath of fire
Vandal hearts

[phoenixwing]

skies of arcadia could use a remake

[Miss_Vixen]

Other than remade, I would love to see classic such as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Shadow Hearts, Wild Arms, Persona, Valkyrie Profile, Suikoden, The Legend of Dragoon, Skies of Arcadia, Lunar Silver Star, Lunar Eternal Blue, Breath of Fire, Grandia, Golden Sun, Dragon Quest, Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve, Star Ocean...etc make a return.

Many of these haven't been seen since the Psone/PS2 era....

[indysurfn]

Nice list making me wish. I'm still hoping to see something about Golden Sun this E3. Or even Legend of Dragoon, or Skies of arcadia, or Grandia (at least one of them should come through!)

[jznrpg]

Suikodens , Legend of Dragoon, Radiata Stories ,Legend of Dragon Lunars Shining inDarkness Rogue Galaxy the list can go on forever

[Donnie81]

Kingdoms of Amular!

[WoLfPaXs]

Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana already have HD remakes..... Earthbound!!! That would be an epic remake of an incredible game...

[meep316]

My pick is xenogears, but dont wait for a "remaster". People have already made emulators that let you override config settings such as render resolution. https://www.youtube.com/wat...

[BlackTar187]

I enjoyed Wilds Arms(ps1) and Breath of Fire(snes & PS)

Also really loved FF Tactics and Beyond the beyond even though i think people didn't really like this game.

[Atanasrikard]

Why remake a video game? Do we really want the movie industry in video games? No new ideas just rehash the same crap over and over?
