Square Enix Classics We’d Love to See Remastered

Square Enix suggested they might remaster more games from their storied archives—here are the classics we’d like to see get a new coat of paint.

[raWfodog]

I would definitely enjoy a Xenogears remaster. Recently finished Legend of Dragoon again (this time with platinum trophy) and would love to dive back into Xenogears with Fei and the rest of the crew.

[closed_account]

Came here to say Xenogears as well. Great taste, raWfodog!

[notachance]

It needs more than a remaster though, I hope they can turn disc 2 into a full game..

[Kneetos]

I wonder how they would even handle a xenogears remaster

Would they give it to monolith soft (the original developers) to handle, and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive, cue the endless bitching from Sony fans...

Or will they do it themselves, thus not finishing the original story as intended

[raWfodog]

"... and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive"

I would think it'd eventually hit all the platforms much like the Front Mission 1st Remake. That way no one would be 'bitching' regardless of your platform preference lol.

[Miraak82]

They don't need the original people , they already have the foundation of characters ,world and lore to work off of.
Honestly it's not that big of a game if you really examine it by modern standards , it's how they present everything that makes it seem so grand especially with how epic the story/music is . SE have good writers that could incorporate post release lore of perfect works and such if they ever remade it from the ground up.

The Bouncer 👀

[gold_drake]

"THE BOUNCER"

scares me everytime i play it haha

[Godmars290]

Maybe this time around it could be good/playable?

[Becuzisaid]

Lol! What a game. Had a lot of fun with it. Beat it multiple times!

[Marcello]

Square Enix classics? dont they mean Squaresoft. Square Enix dont make classic games, just games with pretty graphics, no heart & soul, boring & over stuffed with woke Gen Z cockiness.

But while were on the subject i would love too see a remaster of Front Mission 3.

[ZeekQuattro]

They already announced a Front Mission 3 remake. Doubt they'll also do a remaster.

[Marcello]

I will get the remake but i still want a remaster cos with all remakes they lose a lot of the original magic the original game had.

[Godmars290]

Pretty sure its going to be a remaster of the game, similar to what's been done with the first two games, not a remake.

FF7r is certainly more a remake of FF7 than a remaster for instance.

Now, if they did Gun Hazard remaster...

[raWfodog]

Yeah they call it a remake like "Front Mission 1st Remake" but I'd consider it more of a remaster as it doesn't change any of the core gameplay but basically just sharpens up the graphics. I think they added a couple of new features also but I still think it's more of a remaster.

Like @Godmars290 suggested, FF7Remake fits the mold of a remake since they 'remade' the game from the ground up, changing the battle system completely, and retelling the story with a lot of different elements added.

But I guess they can call it what they want since they're making it lol.

[DeadManMMX]

Exactly. SquareSoft merged with Enix shortly after Final Fantasy X and it has never been the same.

[Gardenia]

I miss the old Squaresoft games. So much quality back then.

[Terry_B]

Almost all of the listed games are not Square Enix Classics lol

[AdventurerDonLocke]

Quintet Gaia Trilogy: Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma.

[Christopher]

Parasite Eve is the only one I want/care about, tbh.

[cammers1995]

Does tomb raider games count? Would like to see some tomb raider games remastered that aren't from the sissy era (2013-present).

[jznrpg]

They sold it off so no it doesnt

[cammers1995]

They're still "square enix classics" you moron

[SonyStyled]

Any new games wouldn’t ‘count’ as square Enix titles as they no longer the owners of the IP or have any development in future iterations. However the previous ones do count as they are literally square Enix classics and the subject of the article

[jznrpg]

@Cammers well I guess you didn’t know that the early games weren’t made by Square Enix and made by Eidos until 2009. So I’m the moron

[darthv72]

all these comments about their RPG and here i am wondering where the love is for Einhander.

[CrimsonWing69]

Man, I wish we could get the entire PS1 Squaresoft library with trophies.

There's so much to name:

- Xenogears
- Einhander
- Brave Fencer Musahiden
- Parasite Eve 1 & 2
- Just all the Squaresoft PS1 games, lol.

I'd even love if they had the balls to do Japanese only games like Soukaigi.

[BlackIceJoe]

Vagrant Story, please and thank you.

[GaboonViper]

Final Fantasy VI, both Parasite Eves, Xenogears and Vagrant Stories.

[sadraiden]

Some deep cuts. Parasite Eve, sure, fair. Einhänder?? Great game, but shmups are pretty dead. It's not going to be a top priority over at SE to remaster a PS1 shmup. We're already getting the remake of Super Mario RPG this year. Chrono Trigger seems like it should get a remake, and why the fuck not?

[gold_drake]

oh id love to have Parasite Eve 1 and 2 remastered.
1 is so good. battle gameplay is bland asf but the music is so sexy haha. it has one of the most believable dialogues and the story is amazing.

i wanna say chrono trigger, but only because the remaster is not on cknsoles for some dumb reason.

[jznrpg]

Vagrant Story mofos. A lot of others but that’s the one I want most. I have all of their games on PS1. I’d prefer more than just a remaster and get remakes but it would be nice to own them on PS5 also. Vagrant Story should get a remake. Xenogears would be my next choice. Brave Fencer Musashi could be done well since they want to do action rpgs these days

[ClayRules2012]

That would be pretty cool.

[Majin-vegeta]

Ehrgeiz 🤷

[andy85]

Just give me the 13 trilogy. Criminal that it's the only numbered game not available on new consoles. Oh and DQVIII would be huge

[Relientk77]

Brave Fencer Musashi

[NecrumOddBoy]

E.V.O. Search for Eden

Reboot this please!!!

[repsahj]

I dont want remaster. I hope they will full remake xenogears and crono trigger or secret of mana.

[Hofstaderman]

Xenogears

[merlox]

Cannot forget about the two Bushido Blade games.

[TwistedXenos]

xenogears needs a remake and disk 2 needs to be remade

[Tzuno]

The only classics that really worth remaster are from Squaresoft

[DeputyB]

Vagrant story gents!

[Knightofelemia]

Musashi, Chrono Trigger, I agree with Xenogears. If Square could get the license then Parasite Eve a new Ehrgeiz. Vagrant Story, Infinite Undiscovery just so many games in SquareEnix and Squaresofts library.
