RPGs which should be remade

[Vyk]

I feel like a lot of Japanese developers have lost what made their games special in the first place, and remakes helps them re-tread those paths and maybe re-learn what they've forgotten. So as long as they actually try, then I'm fine with re-makes, and would much prefer a lazy port of a game I actually like but can't easily play anymore, like say Final Fantasy VIII, rather than some phoned in schlock like Lost Sphere or Oninaki

Counter to that though, I do not trust anyone to do justice to Xenogears. Even the original team, I feel like the magic has probably dissipated by now. Considering Xenoblade Chronicles is the closest they've come to making anything as good, and they immediately lost the magic again right after

I doubt they would remake Final Fantasy Type-0 since they remastered it, and I doubt it even sold that well afterward

I would dig a remaster or port of Shadow Hearts or Legend of Legaia, or Dragoon

Speaking of which, anyone get caught up in the shenanigans that GameSpot and Polygon did months ago, lying that Blue Point was doing a Legend of Dragoon remake like they did with Shadow of the Colossus, and then when Blue Point denied it, saying they were busy with other things, suddenly they all started pushing a petition to get them to start making it when it was never on their plate to begin with? Stupid game journalism...

Edit: In my rant, I forgot to mention that I think Shining Force should get some grade-A treatment. But I'm also pretty sure nobody could be trusted to do it justice. Which is sad since it seems like it'd be easy to do. Fire Emblem with a world map. But they tried once and failed already with an atrocious GBA port
