XSEED says an enhanced remake of a classic RPG is on the way photo

RPGamer recently had an interview with XSEED's Ken Berry, which I mentioned to you yesterday in my sad news about Retro Game Challenge 2. What I failed to mention (bad games journalist, Colette!) is that Ken also mentioned that XSEED is working on an enhanced remake of a classic PSOne RPG that they will soon be announcing. What could it be?

I'm probably wrong, but I wonder if it could be Wild Arms. Considering that XSEED has already done Wild Arms XF for the PSP, I suppose it is possible, but the original version of Wild Arms has already been released on PSN and it actually looks pretty good as is. Any wishful ideas for what you might like this mysterious title to be?

They already remade the first Wild Arms years ago as Wild Arms: Alter Code F for the PS2:



(prays the BBCode worked)

A new Shadow Hearts game?

If they already remade Wild Arms, that would seem silly. Also, why would they remake the Lunar remakes? Again, seems a little silly.

I'm hoping they go crazy and hit something really interesting.

Naia beat me to it. Wild arms 1 was already redone by agetec a while ago. It would be weird if Xseed did it as well.

Looking through Xseed's licenses it could be Shadow Hearts. If its a new IP they picked up then it could be anything.

Because enhancing Lunar is more interesting than enhancing Legend of Legaia or most other "meh" RPGs that came out around/after FF7 :D

If they go with the Shadow Hearts series, it could be Koudelka.

They will only drop it before it gets released again.

"Classic" RPG is very redundant now as a lot are considered as "classics".

It *should* be Koudelka. XSeed already brought over the third Shadow Hearts game so it'd only make sense.

Ugh, the original Wild Arms was not as good as people think it is. Perhaps it's just because I played it years after it was released, but it seemed totally bland to me. If XSEED is remaking that one, then it gets a big DO NOT WANT from me.

Ummm, XSeed is just a publisher and doesn't actually make games, it would have to be something that's already been remade in Japan and most likely something recent.

Xenogears? Xenosaga I and II, which has been released in Japan?

I have a strange feeling that its going to be Ys 1 & 2 Chroncles for the PSP. Just because its new, and its a remake of a old game.

Legend Of Dragoon, Koudelka, Parasite Eve or Vagrant Story. I don't think there are any other PSX RPGs that are both worthy of a remake and which haven't already gotten a remake.
