10 Best Classic JRPG Games That Need a Modern Remake in 2021

From Xfire: "There seems to be some sort of JRPG renaissance going on these past few years.

In addition to new entries of long-running franchises being released on multiple platforms and new IPs being introduced, some classic JRPG games are getting the love that they rightfully deserve in the form of a remake.

Case in point, Legend of Mana, and of course, who can forget the Final Fantasy 7 Remake?

But while there's a growing number of classic JRPG titles that are being remade for modern audiences, there are still far more that aren't getting enough attention and are in desperate need of a modern remake in 2021 and beyond."

Shadow Hearts & Xenogears.

Knightofelemia1154d ago (Edited 1154d ago )

Wild Arms, Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Arc the Lad, Alundra, Golden Axe Warrior, FF Crisis Core, Ar Tonelico, Rouge Galaxy.

TricksterArrow1154d ago

Wild Arms already has a remake! A bit subpar, IMO. But it's decent.

O-D-C1154d ago

Anything with 'Xeno' in the title... and Baten Kaitos.

Vits1154d ago

First I would like to have the originals easily available again. Than the remakes, that way it's assured that the classic version is still "gettable" in case de remake sucks or take unwanted liberties.

FFVI is a timeless classic, surely one of the best games ever created.

_Decadent_Descent22d ago

I really do wish they'd give it the FF7R treatment.

phoenixwing22d ago

Ff6 is probably the most deserving for that

Cacabunga22d ago

Octopath traveller or Star Ocean remake treatment would fit it better i think

FinalFantasyFanatic22d ago

I'd rather it play more or less the same by have the 3D chibi graphics from Ever Crisis, I don't want them to change the story like they did with FF7R.

Wish they still made them like this, obviously with a graphic update.

Themba7622d ago

This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames

ARESWARLORD22d ago

beat the pixel remaster last month. 10 out of 10 game.

Fans Are Begging for a Legend of Dragoon Remake

For some gamers, The Legend of Dragoon is, hands down, the best RPG ever. Isn't it time for a remake or reboot and not just a port?

It never will. The game may have been good, but it was just average at best. The kind of game that is one and done.

DickyD122674d ago

Story was good combat was better than ffvii. Game deserves a REMAKE not a remaster

Cacabunga74d ago

We’ve been asking since ps3

Vx_73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

It was anything but average! The story and characters were highly captivating, the gameplay was enjoyable, and the world was interesting. Fans have been requesting a remake for quite some time. I revisited the game last year and found myself completely immersed in it once again. The PS1 had numerous beautiful classic JRPGs that truly deserve remakes.

FinalFantasyFanatic74d ago

I'm happy with the PS Classics port, but if they did, I'd like a port/remaster of Legend of Legaia as well (please put that on PSN).

FACTUAL evidence74d ago

I was just going to say legend of legaia REALLY needs to get the remake. Also keep the combat the same, and the OST. Legend of legaia a truly a gem. I still have my original ps1 game, mint condition.

FinalFantasyFanatic72d ago

I wish I still had my disc, I really enjoyed that game as a kid, but then the disc disappeared (I'm normally pretty good with my games, so it's strange that it's the only game I've ever lost), I have Legaia 2 still, but it's not as good as the first game, unfortunately. It's surprising the first has never been on PSN when Sony owns the license for the game, they seem content to sit on it and do nothing with it.

Spenok74d ago

We've been begging for one for decades.

Lionsguard74d ago

If any game deserves a remake and to be FINISHED properly is Xenogears.

ManMarmalade74d ago

And Xenosaga. Only had 3 parts but was supposed to have 6.

CrimsonWing6974d ago

Yea but if it does get made please don’t remove the turn-based combat.

If Square Enix can remake FF7, then why not Sony?
Remake these classics, Sony ... not recent games like Until Dawn

darthv7278d ago

Bluepoint would be the perfect studio to tackle this classic.

RaidenBlack78d ago

lets see ... Bluepoint's remakes are great ...but not total reworks like RE2 or FF7
but pretty sure they can come up with a good Remake of Legend of Dragoon

solideagle77d ago

to be fair it's a good game, not a great one. I recently played in on PS5. combat becomes stale after doing the same button skills again and again. I think they will have to overhaul combat like FF VII remake then it will shine. Story was good though!

RaidenBlack77d ago

yea, hence I said Remake not Remaster

porkChop77d ago

Cory Barlog literally said his dream project would be remaking The Legend of Dragoon. If I remember correctly, he's actually pitched it before but Sony refused to greenlight it.

RaidenBlack77d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Damn
I recall Barlog also expressed interest in remaking Silent Hill 1 once ...

XiNatsuDragnel78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Please please remake this.

jznrpg77d ago

I’d like a remake of this and I want Square to remake Vagrant Story

GoodGuy0977d ago (Edited 77d ago )

Crazy square doesn't do this kind of thing themselves with all their classics. I'd throw lots of money. Thank God we have such great communities as they're always the ones that properly remaster these games.

DrewUniverse76d ago

Porting means rewriting a game's code to run natively on another platform. Many think LoD's release on PS4/5 is a port, but it's actually running on an emulator. Roms are the "game" itself. Both emulators and PC ports use these roms to load the game. The difference? Emulators imitate original hardware, with many of their limitations still in place. It's why some types of modding are difficult or unfeasible. With a native PC port, modding is way easier and the core game runs much more efficiently.
