I'd bite for Vagrant Story and Tactics.

Let Parasite Eve die. It was an important IP in the PS1 days, not anymore. You're chasing a ghost. Grab an emulator and play the originals, that's all you really need.

 

[jshackles]

Return Parasite Eve to it's JRPG roots. The third game being an action cover shooter was a travesty. Turn based battles, please.

 

[mansoor1980]

hopefully as playstation exclusives

 

[saintjules]

Interesting on the FFT re-release bit. Would that dispel the remaster rumor?

3rd birthday? I played the shit out of it on a PSP, very enjoyable imo. But not really a Parasite Eve game.

 

[Rush2112]

Yoshi P needs to focus on FFXIV. This is why the game is losing popularity. He’s already moved on.

 

[Yoshichan]

Can Yoshi P just shut the fuck up and let the actual creator, Matsuno talk instead?

 

[GHound]

He can keep Parasite Eve out his motherfucking mouth. The 3rd Birthday was bad enough under Tabata.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Parasyte Eve is due for a remake.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'd love it if Square remastered and rereleased all of their PS1 games (including the oft forgotten Brave Fencer Musashi).

But there's not enough money in that for Square Enix, so they'll just continue milking FFVII and selling expensive digital items in FFXIV (a game with a monthly subscription).

 

[KàIRóS]

Vagrant Story and Parasite Eve 1 and 2 are fine with just a remaster but FFT deserves full remake treatment, but make it more balanced this time some endgame missions are still some of the hardest I've seen in any SRPG just not in a good way.

 

[cireza]

I'll allow it. Just don't touch FF XVII, thanks in advance.

 

[Arsic]

And yet parasite Eve is the one that would have the most success with modern audiences if done right.

It’s a slightly horror game with final fantasy esthetics.

Get rid of the turn based and make it more like a faster paced RE remake.

Vagrant story would sell to very few, and tactics would be the easiest to succeed with if they just do a octopath traveller type approach, but again not a major multi audience game.

 

[Nonehxc]

Yep.

Parasite Eve & II
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy Tactics

Some of the obscurest but most beloved PS1 Square Games deserve a good remaster/remake.

Now, if only we lived in the timeline where Monolith is allowed to remake Xenogears and complete it

You don't need the parasite eve IP to make the game you're describing. If you're going to core the game's mechanics and make something different.....make something different.

I think Vagrant story would sell well considering it's legacy as one of the greatest PS1 era RPGs that many didn't get chance to play the first time around. A second life if you will.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Do you think after XIII, XV and XVI S-E is capable of producing a quality Final Fantasy game that is not a remake of VII?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Would love a re-release of Parasite Eve. Brave Fencer Musashi too. Vagrant Story I already own and have no interest in FF Tactics.

 

[Metnut]

Vagrant Story would be a great contender for a full remake.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

A Vagrant Story remake with a Soulslike combat system would be hands down the best game of all time

 

[jshackles]

Also, if you want these games playable on modern consoles, why not just re-release them as PS1 Classics on PSN?

Bonus for people like me who wouldn't have to buy them again.

 

[March Climber]

Finally, someone big at S-E is looking deeper in the vault room. There's probably cobwebs in the back.

And where's Matsuno?

exactly, where IS he? Which meaaaaaans, we don't talk about FFT or VS

Game preservation takes precedence over one man.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Parasyte Eve is due for a remake.

I’d love a remake/reboot of Parasite Eve. But only if it still takes place during Christmas 1997.

 

[cireza]

I wasn't aware that VII Remake was a quality game. As far as I am concerned, I am skipping XVI and VII Remake entirely. I want knew games, not remakes nor Game of Throne s rip-off.

And yes, I think they can perfectly make a new game that will be just as good, and faithful to the series, as XIII trilogy and XV.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Somebody get Zucc on the phone. FFT Quest port would be amazing.

 

[poodaddy]

Parasite Eve never dies!

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Never played Parasite Eve but would love to try a decent budget remake version of it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Yoshi P needs to fix his own game before daydreaming about ruining other games. Besides Matsuno stopped collabing with him on XIV because they allegedly kept wanting to alter or censor Matsuno's contributions to Bozja/Zadnor and was the reason why it got scrapped midway through.

----------

Not sure why people want Parasite Eve to be a REmake clone when PE had a unique hybrid battle system mixing regular attacks with Parasite(PE) abilities.

 

[TGO]

The Original Parasite Eve needs remaking, without the modern audience crap

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

FFT port on modern storefronts at least

 

[UltimaKilo]

Remaster them both with new textures, 60fps and 4K!

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I wouldn't count on that. SIE can't even get a timed exclusive from Pearl Abyss, I doubt they'll have luck with Square-Enix going forward considering what their CEO's been signaling. Tho SIE largely have themselves to blame for that, IMHO.

Anyway, I'd be SUPER down for a new Parasite Eve but like jshackles was saying, return it to its roots. Games like Metaphor and BG3 are showing you get still get a ton of mileage out of turn-based combat systems in RPGs, and even spice them up with some good pacing and pseudo-real time elements. Romancing SaGa 2 Remake's success shows people want that out of SE's own games, too.

But last I heard, people were telling me the original author hated what SE did with the IP and they've been the reason a new game's been MIA. Maybe if SE approach them with a good pitch that returns the game to the original's roots, the author or whoever owns the IP rights will let them go ahead with a new installment.

Not sure why people want Parasite Eve to be a REmake clone when PE had a unique hybrid battle system mixing regular attacks with Parasite(PE) abilities.

First time I've seen anybody wanting a REmake style take on Parasite Eve. Personally, I want something that still has the fixed camera angles like REmake, but with the non tank controls PE had, and a turn-based combat system that's more dynamic and fluid than what the original one had.

Budget-wise something similar to Romancing SaGa 2 Remake would be just fine. Doesn't need to be Rebirth-tier in budget, in fact I think SE are going to largely shift away from that approach going forward but that is a different convo.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Vagrant Story for sure, Tactics has the excellent War of the Lions version on iOS which I played recently so I’m not as keen on another release of that.

 

[Sophist]

Steam is going to have a remaster of the Lunar games from the playstation/Saturn. FF Tactics should be a no brainer.

I just have a feeling if they revived PE it would just be 3rd Birthday all over again as a generic Third Person Shooter. I'd much prefer a remaster with some modern controls and that's it. Change nothing else.

And you are correct. The PE author won't let them touch the IP again.

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Keep the clothes damage in if they ever make a new Parasite Eve

 

[RoboFu]

Why do you play with my feelings?

 

[Myths]

Yes, Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story — entries that felt one off although the former obviously glt sequels. But these were games developed at a time when the company stepped out of just FF.

They couldn’t miss in the snes ps1 days

 

[Matsuchezz]

I would love a Re release of Vagrant story if that game could be enhanced by psrr I would die happy.

 

[March Climber]

God Bless The Ring

 

[Myths]

Definitely had a catalogue.

Still, there’s something about FF8 and PE, maybe the overlap in presentation and development philosophy are noticeable. Both games capture strongly the PS1 era prior to 2000. Could be Nomura’s overbearing presence, or Uematsu seemingly inspired by Shimomura’s work in PE. Games like VS and FFT, same setup as a consequence of the overlapping staff.

Nah, I genuinely think SE have learned their lesson after 3rd Birthday. They also have to be seeing the success of various turn-based RPGs on the market today, and their own remakes like the recent RS2R, to realize they don't have to bastardize RPGs into gun-totting action shooters to find a market.

Again, if they can give a good proof of concept to the author, or a strong pitch, I think they'd let them make another game. Probably safe to go with a remake of the original. If that goes well, remake the sequel with gameplay closer to the original & its' remake.

Also Einhander, Brave Fencer Mushashi, Front Mission 2, SaGa Frontier 2.

5th gen was just such a creative and risk-taking era for many devs, particularly Japanese ones.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Parasite Eve in this current era?.....Nah brah.

 

[Loomy]

Can Yoshi P just shut the fuck up and let the actual creator, Matsuno talk instead?

Those are SE IPs and Matsuno is no longer a SE employee. This guy is an executive/business leader in the company. He's literally doing part of his job right now.

I'll never understand why that was used in the marketing. The only thing FF16 and GoT have in common is the british accents.

 

[near]

FFT is happening, it's been rumored for ages now and it's probably being handled by Yoshi-P's team with Matsuno overseeing it. I would loooooove a port of Vagrant Story, at least make it more accessible, I don't really mind if it's not a remaster. PE lol, that series is dead.

Or just make a real Parasite Eve 3. I will always prefer new games over living in the past.

 

[Ebrietas]

They can literally release them today on the PSN classics store.
