There's nothing like a bit of fan speculation to kickstart a new week in video games, is there? This latest gossip all stems from the fact that PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida retweeted something over the weekend — that something being a tweet from The Legend of Dragoon composer Dennis Martin.
But why? Martin's tweet is from 2019, in which he reminisces about scoring the PS1 RPG. It's undeniably weird that Yoshida would choose to unearth the tweet now, so you can see why fans think that there might be something going on behind the scenes here.
Yoshida has since removed the retweet for reasons unknown. Perhaps the likeable exec had simply made a mistake while looking through old posts — it's impossible to say. But again, it is a strange thing to retweet, and we can understand why it's sparked a fire of intrigue.
The Legend of Dragoon is, of course, a prime candidate for PS Plus Premium — it being considered a classic PS1 title published by Sony itself. We wouldn't be at all surprised to see it make the jump to PlayStation's refreshed subscription service sooner or later.
But are fans reading too much into this? Or do you think Legend of Dragoon could be making some kind of comeback? Watch out for those Winglies in the comments section below.

Please let the rumours be true.
Absolutely loved it back in the day. Paid a pretty penny for a US import copy. But honestly replayed it a couple of years ago and it had aged pretty badly. Would still love to see it. PS+++ is a perfect home.
Europe never got this game as a ps1 classic, I had to make a US account just to buy it! If I can re-download this gem and get a platinum on ps4/ps5 then I will forgive Sony for it's lacklustre approach to backwards compatibility for the last 9 years
He probably deleted the retweet because people started assuming things and writing articles like this one. The man's allowed to just use Twitter normally too.
Now games like this should be the focus of ps premium.
Cool. I also want parasite eve games also.mission impossible.vagrant story.tenchu games. Word up son
As someone who has always dodged jrpg’s until recently… (and I’m still a bit like warm on them in all honesty) I’m intrigued by this. The amount of comments I’ve seen over the years extolling it’s virtues are legion. If they add trophy support, I might give this a go.
@Milktastrophe Is retweeting a specific Legend of Dragoon tweet from 2019 really using Twitter "normally"? At the very least you can understand why people might be thinking this is a bit weird.
(But I do agree that everyone loves jumping to conclusions.)
i have the feeling this month will have no emulated games on the premium tier, only ps4 ports of ps3 games
@ShogunRok sure, why not? He found a tweet that he liked and he wanted to share it out with his followers. Who cares if it's old. You see it all the time on forums, people reply to years old threads.
I played the PS1 Classic on PS3 not too long ago. I always liked the battle system in LoD, it's snappy and fast. The cutscenes don't really hold up that well but nothing really does of that era if it hasn't been remastered.
One of the best games ever imo
Not into these types of games at all they should be adding more classic games than just 1 or 2 a month so there's something for everyone especially since it launched with basically nothing
Oh please...OH PLEEEASE be true!!! PLEASE!!! This is one of those lost gems Sony has sweped under the rug and ignored for decades. I'd never dare to dream for a remake or remaster...but am praying it comes to the PS Store even as just a ROM dump.
@themightyant Dang, sucks you had to pay so much for the import! I picked up an OG black label PS1 Japanese edition on one of my Japan trips a few years ago for 300 yen (roughly $3). Haha
@invictus4000 That was at launch back in 1999. Worth every penny. Still have it in fact, and it's the rarer black label version. They frequently go for $75 - $100+ on ebay
I remember this game being, correct me if I’m wrong, approximately 16 discs. It was massive and I really enjoyed my time with it!
Honestly I do hope this comes to the service and is available again!
It will come back and people will say.. Meh wasnt that good as i remembered.
@themightyant I did the same but it was all worth it.
Hope not, could potentially lower the worth of my pristine PAL copy😁
I'd rather have a remake, but will happily claim the game even if it's a ROM port.
People need to stop reading so much into every little thing someone does.
I certainly hope these rumors are true. It would be absolutely incredible to have The Legend of Dragoon available on PS Plus Premium.
Lets hope its not on PS Plus that would be a waste i rather see a remake or even a remaster.
@themightyant Aaahhh that makes more sense. Thats epic!
Make a GOOD remaster,then make a sequel,for pc and ps5,pretty please
I have an issue with it being just adding it to ps plus since the game was already in ps now then disappeared from the service why? I have a strong feeling there is more to the tweet like a possible remake that is under wraps that would also make since for the tweet disappearing so quickly rather than just because it's being added back to there service.
@ChromaticDracula
only 4 amazing discs of true happiness
