One thing I didn't mention is part of why it had such a big impact: It was a massive improvement in scope, gameplay, and storytelling over the two preceding Dragon Quest titles. With DQIII HD's sales success and its chronological position as the first part of a story trilogy, Square Enix releasing a similar HD-2D remake of the first two titles made perfect sense.

But it was going to be an uphill struggle to get a new PS1 RPG any traction, even one made by Star Ocean 2 developer Tri-Ace. The Dreamcast was already out, the US launch of the PS2 was less than two months away, and Squaresoft had dropped Chrono Cross, a follow-up to the beloved Chrono Trigger, a couple of weeks earlier.

The game that kicked off the long-running Legend of Heroes RPG series is getting a remake with Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which launches on PS5, Nintendo Switch, and PC on September 25. The game is an all-new version of the original Trails in the Sky, remaking the PS3 and PS Vita game with full 3D high-res visuals, new voice acting, and overhauled gameplay.

"Persona 4 Revival has been rumored for years now, with leakers and insiders hinting at the game's existence."

Metaphor: ReFantazio is a beautifully bizarre JRPG from Atlus, the creators of Shin Megami Tensei and Persona, that puts the player in control of a young warrior.

"I wanted to put together something with much more prestige and production value to really shine a light on all the teams," Hoyt says.

With the restoration of missing sound effects, new rendering options, and various crash issues addressed, this new PC port revitalizes Breath of Fire 4 for modern players.
