Turned based Phantasy Star and Shinning Force remain at the top of my list of Sega IPs that need to return. At the very least I'd take a Shining Force collection that has 1,2,3, CD and the Game Gear entries.
I was hesitant to put these two on. I've personally played more PSO than the RPG version. And shame on me, I don't remember much about Shining Force to talk about it properly.
That said, so many Sega licences deserve their place in this list.
A new Phantasy Star in the numbered series would be amazing. Shining Force too. But I’d settle on some collections as that’s probably the best we will get
I don't trust Sega to do a proper comeback. The games will be just remastered and/or monetized to death.

They sold half the company to Tencent.
Ohh
I forgot about the horrible toxic working environment and harassment cases.
In the past - sure. When you had games like Rayman, Splinter Cell, Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon Prince of Persia, Far Cry 2-3-4, Beyond Good & Evil, even Heroes of Might and Magic V and published games like Cold Fear, Warlords and so on. Be proud of that, your legacy is great.
But what you're doing right now? No. And the fact that you don't see any problems with that is very sad.
The good:
Historic locations and most accurate recreations in the AC games.
Far Cry 3
AC 1 and 2
Immortals Fenyx
Divison 1
Splinter Cell Series and older games.
The bad: Ubi worldification of everything.
