Proceed with caution. I know how easy it is to get your hopes up. I'm still bitter for having to play a fan translation of this title.
The Squre Super Famicom we-wouldn't-know-it-was-a-classic RPG Bahamut Lagoon never came to the US. This beautiful strategy game caused quite a stir in Japan, but this was back in a time before Square knew how to print money. Maybe they've come to their senses?
Siliconera points to a recent trademark for "Blood of Bahamut." I know, it's a stretch. This could just as easily be a new title. Square Enix usually keeps the original title for games we've seen before.
Damn. Now I've got my own hopes up. What do you think Blood of Bahamut is?

I don't want Square Enix to ruin another good series. The Square Enix is an empty shell version of Squaresoft of the past. I mourn for thee ol' Square.
I don't know why people expecting anything good from square anymore. This one horrible generation of video games....
....Looking at you Undiscovery....you make me weep.
Games now are all mainstream fps...does anyone miss the 90s? Those good times for gaming :(
that is all.
Also, cocks.
...but...
To Squaresoft's credit, they didn't put out FFV here and I see why. I tried to play that game and put about 10 hours into it and I just hated it. So maybe they were doing me a favour.
Still, the fact that I've been waiting for ±15 years is gross.
It's the Square tax that really grinds people's shit. They're selling data easily worth $40 but has existed too long for that to be fair from a consumer standpoint. Even if Square sold just one of it's good games for $34.99 I think it would shut some fans up about rip-off rehashes.
I have to say that I'm one Squaresoft fan that never really got that far into Bahamut Lagoon. I downloaded it and played it for a few hours but I scrapped my ROM software after a few days when I discovered credit cards, eBay, and a working SNES in my closet.
I still don't think that sounds like a remake though, but still it would be nice to see one. That or a decent SNES emulator for the DS.
it's such a good game
I second that.

Damn right! It's been years assholes! Where's my SD3 SquareEnix?!?! If you're going to rehash stuff, it wouldn't kill you to make a Romancing SaGa trilogy pack. Phantasy star did it, why can't you?

Actually I never finished Bahamut Lagoon. I leveled up my dragons too much. Magic-casting enemies were able to waste my human characters instantly...
Maybe it's time for me to start a new game.
If a remake were done for a console and not a handheld, I'd be interested. I'm about sick to death of every remake that comes out being on a handheld. I want to sit down in front of a TV and play games like I did when I was a kid. Although...I did play an awful lot of FFL on Gameboy as a teenager...
