Here's a story that's sure to get people chatting: Forever Entertainment, the company that released the recent Panzer Dragoon: Remake, is working with Square Enix to create "multiple" remakes based on one of the Japanese publisher's properties. What this property is, we don't yet know β but wishes of Chrono Trigger and Xenogears are already flooding the internet.
Realistically, though, this could be anything, so we would advise against getting your hopes up. Whatever these remakes end up being, Forever Entertainment promises to update the visuals, while leaving the core gameplay intact.
What do you think these remakes could be? Set your expectations far too high in the comments section below.

Please be Parasite Eve!
Man there's just too many great classic squareenix games even back from psone era π
I want parasite eve 1 & 2, legacy of kain series including the first 2D games and soul reaver series, final fantasy tactics remake using octopath travellers engine, also chrono trigger, final fantasy 1-5 remake using that engine, also front mission 3, for ff6 maybe using ff7 remake engine, and many many more π
LEGACY OF KAIN OR PARASITE EVE PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!! O__O
Man, so many great possibilities! I would love Chrono Trigger or a classic Final Fantasy title, is done correctly. ... which I guess would mean different things for different people.
Either way, Iβm excited.
Xenogears and Einhander
FFIX Remake!
Well Forever Entertainment were supposed to be handling the Fear Effect Reinvented remake but we haven't heard anything about that for a good 3 years now. Maybe their doing the first and second ones together...at least I hope.
Could be Square games or Enix games. Or even Taito games! Bubble Bobble remake!
CHRONO TRIGGER
I'd gladly play a Chrono Trigger remake. I'd be all over a Soul Reaver remake.
@Snake_V5 Oh that would be great i loved PE 2 it was fantastic.
Parasite Eve
Vagrant Story
Valkyrie Profile
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger/ Cross
Drakengard? Cash in on Nier popularity.
I think Xenogears is out of the question, my understanding is all things xeno now belong to Monolith, and Nintendo by proxy.
I have a hunch that if this is true, it might not be an RPG and instead be a more action oriented game, likely something from the Eidos side of things.
Radiata Stories!
Drakengard 3. I love this game, however the gameplay really needs updating as it's incredibly choppy in the frame rate department.
I really want current gamers to experience the wonderful route D boss. π
I thought their panzer dragoon remake was considered meh? I don't know that I'd be super enthusiastic about them handling multiple games
I hope if they end up tackling a JRPG which is likely considering square enix lol. It turns out good whichever it may be. At this point any one of them deserve another chance
I'd like to see just cause 2 remade, along side final fantasy 8
Unless they can go the whole hog and give it the sort of high-budget remake it deserves, I really rather hope Chrono Trigger is left alone. The original (and DS port) are sublime and the existing pixel art is absolutely wonderful.
CT ffs indeed
Top of my short list:
Vagrant Story
I'd love to play a remake of Parasite Eve!
I know everyone loves Chrono Trigger, but I had trouble getting into it for whatever reason. Actually, maybe a remake would help?
@ORO_ERICIUS Yes please, to both!
I wouldn't mind a remake of some of the Dragon Quest games, even though I think those are already in the works considering Dragon Quest 11's ending. I also wouldn't mind a Chrono Trigger & Parasite Eve remake, and lastly, and this might be an odd choice but... I wouldn't mind a remake of Kingdom Hearts 1, 2 & Birth by Sleep instead of just simple remasters, while I wasn't the biggest fan of KH3 from a story perspective, there's no denying that KH3 was graphically gorgeous.
I'll probably be the only person to say this, but I seriously hope its Final Fantasy 8. That game would look amazing as a remake
Tomb Raider please.
@everynowandben - Same here, I tried to get into Chrono Trigger on DS, but it just didn't click with me, if they remade it from the ground up with 3D rendered character models and had voice-acting, I'll probably be able to get into.
Come on guys. Its clearly the Bouncer π
Give me some more Dragon Quest and I'm good!
Or the older FF like V and VI, those look more up my alley than the post-X games.
These are some games I'd like but I really don't know what to expect.
Parasites evesππππ.make it happen.word up son
The return of Gex.
Chrono Trigger and Cross would be my picks, just before announcing 3rd game in the 'series'.
I want Parasite Eve!!!! Still one of my faves!!
@donnyPS5 FF8 would be amazing!
Front Mission!!! Front Mission 3 was one of my all time favourite PS1 games.
@wiiware No need to comment after what you wrote, you even listed games that I didn't know I want.
I will add EinhΓ€nder.
It's so funny to see all of the comments...pretty much every ip is accounted for.
Personally, the main remakes I would want to see is Legend of Dragoon and FFIX
Legacy of kain would be an amazing addition at the moment. Soul Reaver in particular
@Tharsman no, s-e still owns the xenogears IP. in fact, they recently released a xenogears model kit which leaves no doubt about it.

@Rob_230 so long as nomura still works at the company, i would never say never!
Chrono Trigger, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story (!!!!!) or Xenogears sound like great (wishful) options.
I don't see high probability for a Xenogears remake seeing as the original devs already have an established successor in Xenoblade Chronicles as 1st party Nintendo Studio.
Parasite Eve or Vagrant Story would be cool.
Maybe they will update older Final Fantasy titles to modern platforms.
@Ken_Kaniff This is my hope!
I hope they bring back Gex!
I hope (and im praying) that it's the drakengard series 1-3, catch it up with Nier in terms of quality and graphics, I doubt it though
@Porco yeah you're right they even had a limited release of Xenogears action fictures including Fei, Elly and Weltall it's why following games with Nintendo are labelled as Xenosaga though the games are spiritually linked.
Whilst I'd love Xenogears considering the article labels it multiple remakes of the same property it's going to be a game with multiple titles such as Final Fantasy, I'd perhaps say it's not even going to be Chrono sadly
SE still own Xenogears despite it's original creators being Nintendo 1st party now and having moved on the "Xeno" series.
Although I wouldn't want a remake without them involved and if that were to happen it would highly likely be a Switch exclusive seeing as it would effectively be on Nintendo's time/money.
Legacy of Kain please!
I would love to see Star Ocean get some more attention! But I doubt thatβs what this developer is going to do. Kingdom Hearts remakes would be great too, but only if theyβre handled right. I loved Kingdom Hearts III so much (both story and gameplay wise), and itβs graphics were absolutely beautiful. However, playing the other Kingdom Hearts games is, in my opinion, pretty important if you plan on understanding most of whatβs going on. And the first Kingdom Hearts, while as amazing as ever, does feel kind of clunky in its camera controls compared to others. Even Kingdom Hearts II feels a bit dated nowadays.
If itβs not either of those two, I really hope itβs either Final Fantasy or an underutilized IP that needs more attention. Although many people hope its Dragon Quest, as I see in the comments, I personally hope it is not that. I feel like there are other properties that need more attention, and personally Iβve always found the Dragon Quest games to be a little dull. Thatβs just me, though. No offense to those who love Dragon Quest β if you love those games then that is perfectly fine. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes.
Square Enix has an amazing library with a lot of potential, so any of this games in this list itβs fine
Xenogears
Legacy of Kain
Parasite Eve
Chrono Trigger
Drakengard
EinhΓ€nder
Star Ocean
If it's multiple entries of one franchise then it's Tomb Raider.
I am hoping for Final Fantasy XIII trilogy!
Maybe thatβs it...βmultiple gamesβ
Itβs a 3 game set.
Hi there fellow gamers.
If Square Enix wants to make multiple remakes of their old gaming franchises then thereΒ΄s a few that I would personaly like to see coming back.
whoΒ΄s the best Swiss Army Knife character in a rpg;
Make it happen Square Enix! I want to see the how it ends, specialy RazielΒ΄s fate in the story.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Parasite Eve remake would be an awesome game to look forward to!
But Chrono Trigger in the same style as Octopath Traveller graphics would be great.
FF6 would make sense since it's one of player's favourite alongside FF7. I'd be more interested in Chrono Trigger, but not a crappy remake like secret of mana.
Nothing I can think that hasn't been mentioned. I wouldn't mind 3rd Birthday/PE though. I only ever got through the first area of the first PE game for some reason.
@CKFilms Mostly been done, I believe. Tomb Raider 2 and 3 could I suppose, but I don't think so.
The Quiet Man is being remade and is now a quadrilogy.
Give me Legend of Dragoon!
a remake of the 1st tomb raider game to connect the prequels with the original series would be nice.
also would love to see final fantasy 11 redone for the current consoles / pc , being able to carry your character / stats over.
As much as i love crono trigger i would rather they wont touch it. Gimme Kain soulreaver ps5 with demon souls graphics and 3d sound!
I would be ecstatic for remakes of parasite Eve 1 and 2, one franchise that doesn't deserve to die and be forgotten
I hope they remake Valkyrie Profile, FF6, Parasite Eve and Chrono Trigger. I'm kinda surprised that there are no sourpuss in the comments saying how tired they are of remakes lol
Ff6 and chrono trigger with octopath traveller style backdropsπ€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€π€
I never really considered hanging up my controller, but if Kingdom Hearts remakes ever roll round that honestly might just be the day.
Vagrant Story would be amazing.
And Xenogears.
But considering the size of the latter that seams unlikely...
And if we want a Chrono Trigger remake, get Arc Systems Works to do the character models and BOOM
@Rob_230 that and Driving Emotion Type-S in a double pack
@donnyPS5
Yes!! Final Fantasy 8 as well!
Final Fantasy VII Remake, Remake.
@Grail_Quest Highly doubt it, but it would be cool.
Chrono Trigger for the win!!!! Parasite eve would also be acceptable......
My moneys on Chrono Trigger. Xenogears was never really finished.
But Xenogears would be a great 2nd project, they would just have to finish it.
I'm not getting my hopes up at all, ignoring this news until we get more actual concrete info regarding which franchise/IP they will be remaking...
I'm hoping it is NOT Parasite Eve, I want that to get a proper remake with modernised gameplay and story updates.
This deal sounds like we'll be getting slightly polished versions of what we can already play.
@Snake_V5 Dear God YES!
@Mintie They could do a proper remake of Parasite Eve though.
