GameXplain Says: "For those old enough to remember, the RPGs that were released on the Super Nintendo and Genesis were straightforward affairs. Plots typically weren't too involved and gameplay stuck closely to an established formula. The Dragon Quest series has followed that formula continuously over the years and has become one of the biggest titles in Japan. It is only recently that the series has begun to take risks thanks to the development talents at Level-5. The biggest change came when it was announced that the ninth game in the main series would be exclusive to the Nintendo DS rather than being released on any of the home consoles. While this may seem strange since a HD edition would have fans giddy, Dragon Quest 9 pushes the DS's capabilities to its limits and crafts one of the best RPGs on the system. It's still very much rooted to the old school RPG formula, but there are enough new ideas implemented to make the game still feel modern."
Despite having some of the best storylines and customization options in the series, Dragon Quest IX is the only installment to never receive a port.
I wo set why this port never happened. Now with a larger and more interested fanbase, may e they will?!
I wish the majority of the previous mainline Dragon Quest games were readily available on modern platforms. 3DS is the only system that fits that criteria but this should be expanded upon
To this day, Dragon Quest IX remains a Nintendo DS exclusive title. However, the team behind the game has made comments suggesting that a Dragon Quest IX remake is possible.
I'd be game for that. It was fun having a team of DBZ characters running around. Lol
There is a long tradition of Square Enix Remakes dating back through PlayStation history. That tradition continues with Final Fantasy VII, and will probably keep going after that. Here are some titles gamers would love to see again.
Why do lists like this never ask for the Eidos side of Square Enix? There’s plenty of remakes id like to seem from Eidos’ stories history
Personally I’d just want Square Enix to release FFVIIR period before thinking of whatever remake they could work on after it.
Plus it’s not like we even have to wait for that to release for another remake to be made. Their last one was Secret of Mana last year. They can still release smaller scale remakes in the meantime
I would love for Square to take Chrono Trigger as is, repolish it with an overlay of lighting effects and actually get an orchestra to do the soundtrack. (I wish CT had a live cover too).
Also would love to see Enix's E.V.O Search for Eden remade in something that resembles the Ubisoft Framework Engine. This game is incredible yet almost completely forgotten.
Final Fantasy VIII
They already skipped VIII out with a port and trophy support so they better not skip it for the next remake
The garden battle in HD would be glorious
Haven't played a DS game in a looooong while, but this might be the one that tips me over the edge.
