Gone But Not Forgotten: 8 RPGs That Need To Make A Comeback

Why no love for Legend Of Dragoon?

[Peaceful_Jelly]

I played and beat Legend of Dragoon last year and beside being nostalgically good, nothing really stands out. Story is really crappy, graphics are your standard overused pre-rendered backgrounds of the time and gameplay is nothing more than FF's ATB with a gimmick button time pressing and random battles. There are no side-quests or mini-games, very little exploration and the game is as linear as a straight line. Very light RPG for n00bs but still a mediocre game just like FFXIII.

Compared to the list of the author LoD is nothing. And BTW Sony owns the Wild Arms IP... Just saying, maybe this could deceive the incoming disagreers. lol

If you'd play it 11 years ago, it was stellar RPG with great visuals, enjoyable storyline and fun gameplay.

[solideagle1]

do not play these games as of today...but try to feel these games when they were first released just like Hay said 11 years ago game cant be compared with FF XIII.

thanks

The Legend of Dragoon and Xenogears are one of the best rpgs of all time! These games had a really deep story.

I'm glad he put in Terranigma and Illusion of Gaia, those are really great rpgs too!

[agentxk]

I tried to keep this one to series. Although it isn't forgotten. I have something in mind for those gems

[blitz0x]

Great writeup I want to see more installments of everything listed!

[newn4gguy]

I'm sad we'll probably never see another Earthbound or even port, due to licensing issues.

[Dreassic]

"Why no love for Legend Of Dragoon?"

Because that was not really anythign special, especially compared to the ones they mentioned.

[CommonSense]

Loved Wild Arms on PS1

[Cloudberry]

.
I want new Suikoden sequel with Yoshitaka Murayama back as the director, writer, & producer.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Suikoden..

YES!

[agentxk]

You are absolutely right. This was originally supposed to be 5 games though. I almost wanted to go with "All SNES-PS1 RPG Franchises Should Be Revived" but the body of the article would have just consisted of "Yeah"

[DragonKnight]

Suikoden definitely. I also would like to see a new Shadow Hearts game. But that's unlikely since the studio doesn't exist anymore.

[KingofGambling]

You and I both
come on Konami
Suikoden VI for the PS3

[moujahed]

Breathe Of Fire IV remake... Legend of Dragoon Remake... AND A MUTHA FUCKIN FINAL FANTASY 7 REMAKE PLEASE!!!!! SHIT!!!

[Gazman]

A reboot of the Ultima series

[PirosThe4th]

I agree if it wasn't for Ultima... Final Fantasy would never existed.

Also I really want a new Wild Arms... The other one was pretty bad. I mean 5. I loved 4 though. And the first 2 were awesome too.

[DragonKnight]

What makes you think that FF wouldn't exist without Ultima? It's not exactly like Hironobu Sakaguchi took inspiration from it. He took more inspiration from DQ and there's no reason to really suggest that any one game is responsible for the existence of another game.

[CaulkSlap]

Hopefully JRPGs will make a comeback with the new handhelds. Sadly just not worth it for developers to make them on consoles anymore.

[VampiricDragon_]

jrpgs are already has popular as ever thanks to the ds and psp and are on ios, wii, 360,ps3

wrpgs cant say that

[SpLinT]

Skies of Arcadia needs an HD remake. Maybe on the next Ninty console. Id hope for a sequel but thats too much to ask I guess.

[Redempteur]

replace the Saga series by the suikoden series and i'll agree to this list at 100%

[agentxk]

Suikoden slipped my mind actually. It really should have been on the list. That and Grandia could have made it 10.

[Infernostew]

How about a new Shadow Hearts game?

[DragonKnight]

I completely agree. Too bad it's unlikely though, the studio doesn't exist anymore.

[Quagmire]

I want a DBZ Rpg

[PS360WII]

They have some on the GBA and DB Origins on the DS.

[blitz0x]

I'm surprised nobody mentioned grandia.

[Scyrus]

Valyrie Profile neeeds to come back! an HD lenneth would be epic, I loved all the VP games, even the ds one

[Drewminati]

Phantasy star 5 would be great sega

New shining force would be also great

yes yes a grandia

A new skies of arcadia

[specialguest]

This series is not as popular as the others, but how bout the Lunar series? Back in 1998(Wow, I was a late teen back then) Working Design's president stated that Lunar 3 was in development. Sadly, no such game exist today, and Working Designs has been gone for quite a while now.

[antauwnehart]

Jrpgs have been garbage lately! Korean mmorpgs ftw!

[Blackcanary]

Alundra would be great a brand new one.

[PS360WII]

:( I actually enjoyed Dragon Quarter but another Breath of Fire would be a warm welcome.

[Tuxedo_Mask]

I hope they make a new SaGa game for this gen, preferably on the home consoles rather than a portable. There have been a few hints that they might consider it, but they haven't officially announced anything yet.

[KingofGambling]

Suikoden series
