Comments on: 5 Japanese RPGs That Deserve a Sequel http://theangrypixel.com/blog/2008/05/22/5-japanese-rpgs-that-deserve-a-sequel/ ...because we're angry and stupid!

That remains one of my most loved games, ranking with Golden Sun 1&2 and Final Fantasy series. And we have some rumours of GS3 for gamecube, and now it may be for Wii. GS3 is not being confirmed or denied by camelot, but it says it too busy with whatever its working on right now. also, camelot has only around 10-12 developers or something (a small number, nevertheless) so developing two games at a time is impossible. Still, when im bored i think of what alex might be doing after gs2... If Bahamut Lagoon doesnt deserve a sequel, I dont know what does.

I'm not in any hurry to replay a hd FF7 ... ask yourselves if the game was really that awesome , or arent you also mixing in a lot of nostalgic feelings ? Especially if it was your first big rpg experience . I do not get either the need for a grandia I remix ... it got various sequels , with of course at least one black sheep like every series , but still it features everything grandia 1 ever had ... its unique fighting system , and a definitely not awe inspiring setting or story . There will be a grandia 4 soon enough with that same gameplay further polished , graphics , and the same generic plot .

The chrono serie steamed from the dreams anyway of teaming up key members of enix and square for a stellar game , wich they did . grandia did not outsell FFVI in japan ... within tree days FF7 sold more than 2 millions of copies in japan , and it obviously kept selling a lot . Grandia managed over a million , with the hype of it being the final fantasy of the saturn , and faired only decently on psx afterward . Back then the only concurrent and actual killer of FF7 would be Dragon quest in 2000 . The other half would be Dragon quest period .

The other half of the JRPG kingdom belongs to Dragon Quest, because along with Final Fantasy, it was one of the first JRPGs ever and still enjoys immense sales in its native country. Secondly, I'm talking about what games deserve sequels, not remakes. The whole point of contention for me is that some companies can spend millions to craft remakes and milk an old classic when they can't create bonafide sequels to innovative/memorable/addictive games. So, no. I don't think it'd be amazing to remake Grandia for the sake of it seeing it in HD.
