Baldur's Gate. Any other answer deserves a quick and forceful ban.
Enhanced Edition doesn't count...yet.
Chrono Trigger. I want my third smurfing game. :colbert:
Suikoden ; ;

I Can't pick only one man.
Baldur's Gate!
Breath of Fire!
Golden Sun! (I know the last one was released quite recently, but there have been no news on a sequel since)
Chrono Trigger!
Mother! (this one I probably want the most. The games are just plain awesome and there is just so much more you can do with this concept)
Final Fantasy!
hyuck hyuck hyuck
One game might not really be a franchise, but Mirror's Edge needs a sequel. Preferably one which modern day EA keeps their dirty hands off of.
Mega Man X. They kind of had a successor in MMZ and MMZX, but I don't feel either of these was as good as the original MMX games, and they haven't even had one of those out in the last 5 years.
That would also be on the top of my list. That and Chrono.Quote:

Second choice would be Chrono Trigger, smurf...
Star Tropics.

Crash Bandicoot
A sequel to The Saboteur
My personal wish would be to see the long term success of the LUNAR franchise. Currently, there are about three or four remakes of the original Sega CD title and only one remake of its sequel.
The sequel leaves a lot of room for future stories, but we seem to find ourselves back at the original story hearing a different version of it each time.
I would like to see a return of the Suikoden series, too. That world had far too many mysteries to leave untold.
I am also one of the fourteen people in the world who thought The Saboteur was a genuinely good game, let down by having the biggest prick in Pricksville as the main character. xDQuote:

Shining Force, obviously. As in Shining Force.
Easy and obvious answer. Though I did like the mention of StarTropics.Quote:

I can imagine this type of game with a nice HD shine and the usual impressive cinematic sequences would be a massive hit with fans.
I have enjoyed playing X, XII and XIII but they just don't have the same feel for me.
Adding Jet Force Gemini and a proper Master of Orion rez to my list.
Strider. I don't really see him anywhere expect maybe the Capcom fighting games.
Make a game like the 1989 ? Arcade game and bring the plumed clothed ninja back.
That has a lot more to do with camera angles that 2d backgrounds. There are some areas in FF13 where the camera zooms out and becomes static and it really feels like back in the good ol' days of pre-rendered.Quote:

That's not a new 2D Final Fantasy like I- VI. That's something that looks like it was done by RPG maker XV. :eep:Quote:

It looks like a flash game. :lol:Quote:

A new Phantasy Star game would be awesome as well. Specifically a sequel to PSIV. The talent is still there as they recently did the Valkyrie Chronicles games and before that did Skies of Arcadia. Not too bitter about this as they are still doing great stuff and Phantasy Star Online 2 looks legit. I still think they need to reestablish Phantasy Star as one of the premier JRPG's series as PSII and PSIV are two of the best JRPG's ever made.
A proper Tenchu would be nice. Like, one that received the same love and effort as Tenchu 2 had; a good evolving story with multiple character perspectives, the epic mission creator, those beautiful settings and the epic bosses. And without the weird zombie and robot crap they pulled in the games that followed 2.

A new Tenchu would be pretty cool. 2 was an excellent game.
Hurray! I just spent an hour watching these; tenchu 2 walkthrough Rikimaru level 3 part 1 - YouTube :|Quote:

I guess i would have liked to see Level 5 make an open-world Dark Cloud 3.

Jeez how could I forget about Z.O.E :O I can't wait for the HD Collection! Z.O.E 2nd Runner was one of the best games of the PS2 era by far.Quote:

Monkey Island (MI4 was quite dreadful and MI5 had some annoying flaws which kept it from greatness. I think one more MI game could really finish off the MI series with a bang)
Bauldurs Gate
Suidoken
Colony Wars
Breath of Fire
Zone Of The Enders
Front Mission (being brought back as a tactical rpg)
Ring Of Red (this game was a stand-alone but smurf me it was good!)
Those will do for a start!
Legend of Legaia
Bloody Roar

I'd also be on board for more releases in the Breath of Fire series. A lot of people were disappointed by Dragon Quarter.
And can I please finally have my Legend of Dragoon sequel/prequel/anything?

I said it in my last post, but I have to say it again. Shining Force. My gosh, I had such a nostalgia trip with this series today. Was messing around on YouTube (I listen to music in the back room while I'm working, when I can), and for some reason Mishaela's theme popped into my head. I found it, took a listen, and since then I've been going crazy with the emotions and memories the music from those games stir up, along with the screenshots and videos attached.
It doesn't exactly hurt that I've been playing XCOM lately, either. In terms of battle systems, the two are nearly identical, though with different focuses for your troops. Adapting the engine would be easy. Man, I want a new SF game.

You'd need a new glam cam system to handle the new animations. And lots and lots of new maps.Quote:
