Which Oldschool JRPG Would Benefit Most From A Remake?

[bogey_j]

imo Xenogears

could you imagine Xenogears getting the FF7 Remake treatment? especially how they could expand on the unfinished/rushed content of the second disc

a man could only dream

SNES/PS1 era JRPGS basically.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

obvious answer is chrono trigger but I don't see it being able to retain its charm with modern graphics

it would probably look like dragon quest xi which doesn't look bad but I don't want chrono trigger lookin like that

 

[Return of the Jedi]

Yeah great pick. An Earthbound reboot would sell gangbusters, I'm sure. the Smash effect is real.

a Golden Sun reboot would be great too. When the fukk are we getting another Final Fantasy Tactics title?

Yep. Chrono trigger with modern FFVII graphics will be just

I think I’ll just stick with the old style and cherish the memories

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

chrono trigger can’t be remade

Knowing square enix it would end up looking like one of those Mana remakes

I would love it for Super Mario RPG.

The old school Tales or FE games would great since they aint even playable in english.

Vagrant Story. Shame SE hasn't done anything with that IP

 

[Neuromancer]

Shadow Hearts.
Xenogears.
Arc the Lad 2

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

While thinking about this i literally found out today there was a PS4 remake of Secret of Mana...

...most of these games end up being remade for no reason (commercially)

 

[42 Monks]

I don't know about old school, but Valkyria Chronicles deserves a whole ass reboot.

Man Sega mismanaged that series so hard. Moving from PS3 -> PSP is such a bad decision

Only played 1 which I thought was great. Looking into 2 and 3. 2 was supposedly anime af and the tone was nothing like the 1st game. 3rd seemed to be great, but no English translation cause Sega thought oh the west don't care about it. No the west wants more of 1 which is about war then what seems to be the case for 2, which is bad anime high school drama.

By the time 4 came out on consoles the damage was already done.

So many piff strategy games out now, this series would fit in very well but Sega prob would fukk it up again.

I played the demo of 4 and was surprised by how little they actually updated it. Even the tediousness of the menu’s inbetween combat was left untouched. Felt exactly like the first game, which was disappointing and i enjoyed hte first game a lot
