Japanese developer Square’s role-playing games were truly in their heyday on the Playstation One, but these days they can be a little difficult to track down unless you like the idea of paying upwards of $100 without even being assured of the discs’ condition.
No longer, though! Sony has finally taken pity on us poor Americans and released two games that have been available on the Japanese PSN for years: Xenogears last Tuesday, and Vagrant Story this week.
Square Enix's interest in reviving its classics is the long-awaited ray of hope and the ideal chance to resurrect adored gems like Xenogears.
Seriously, I mean if anything an HD Remaster. I wish they had the balls to allow the entire story to be made, but I get the financial gamble won't all for it.
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.
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.
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.
An unofficial Xenogears HD remaster is now available for download, introducing interface, sprites and texture improvements.
While there are night and day improvements to textures and assets such as character portraits and maps, contrary to the article, it doesn't seem like they touch any sprites with this romhack.
This is how remasters should look, I would love to have this game on PS4/PS5, it really gives the game new life.
Xenogears!!!
So stoked about this :) If only they would release parasite eve 2 that would be awesome. :)
they still make great new jrpgs on the portables. Never forget thats were there market is
copped Xenogears day one! had waited years for it's return. It's the definitive jrpg in my mind. oh the glory days...1998 feels so long ago now but this psone classic has aged surprisingly well. more so than ff7 did.
And what about Xenogears for europe?
