They did with the Alter Code Code F on PS2.
It wasnt bad at all but I definitely prefer the original.
For Xenogears to have a remake, it would have to have an actual proper make first. I dont think anyone involved in the original or anyone new would want to deal with the baggage that games comes with. I love it but if we're being honest, it's a clusterfukk.
I would be halfway interested in Phantasy Star 4 but the early 90s anime styled panels that made it so unique would probably just be completely abandoned.
Also, it's a shame that Korean remake of Shining Force didn't work out. Looked great.
But really as far as the 16 bit classics go, just do pixel remakes/remasters. The stories and gameplay were designed to communicate those worlds through pixels and obviously it worked.
Much more open to overhauling the polygon 32 bit stuff.
