Awesome news! Excited for another playthrough for these and to get the plats. If anyone is a fan of JRPG's please consider buying this on any platform that is available. Let's all show Konami that this franchise can still be relevant in the modern era.
I wonder how the response to Eiyuuden Chronicles affected this decision.
Hell yeah. Konami actually did something good.
I've never played these games. It may be time to check 'em out.
FINALLY!!!!!
Now, I think all that’s left for the major 2D fantasy RPGs of this mid/late 90s era: Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Terranigma, and the Lunar games. Any I’m forgetting? (Well, Wild Arms on Sony consoles).
Lunar and Lunar 2 would be sweet. Also want Breath of Fire 3-5.
And Final Fantasy Tactics.
This is beautiful
Seems like a great timeline for fans of traditional RPGs.
This is really dope, but wow that name is a mouthful.
Yea but when you throw it together it can't even fit on a single line on the Steam page.
curious if they are doing just these first two to test the waters and see if remastering 3 , 4 & 5 are worth the effort? Also, I wonder if they are remastering the PSP version since that was 'technically' already a remaster of the PS1 originals.
Aewsome news tho the backgrounds and UI looks like a mobile game. Oh well just happy to see these classics come to modern systems
