How about a remake of FF6 with PS3 Graphics?
I agree FF^ set the standard for RPGS nothing compares to it or FF& or even Chrono trigger. 3 of the greates games ever!!! No game today can mess with your emotions the way these games did.
I just want to explain something to a few of you who probably don't remember the game, the original Phantasy Star was truly the pioneer, innovator, and in many respects creator of what we know as the modern video RPG. It came out only a few days after the original Final Fantasy and when you compare the two games side-by-side, it blows the doors off it. Many of the aspects you see in console RPG's were used in it until games started using live-action combat instead of round based.
Another thing to think about. Games back then were priced according to how much work was put into them, instaed of the tiering we see with modern games. Most games that come out are in the $50-$60 range (sorry, I don't know what that is in euros, lbs sterling, or whatever). Almost every new game for the past 10 years for Sony PSx, Microsoft Xbox(whatever), and PC has been 59.99, or in a few cases 49.99. That's in todays money. Back then in the US? Phantasy Star was priced at 69.99...in 1988! Some stores retailed that svcker up to $80. Easily the most expensive console game at the time of it's release. So in today's money? That's roughly 135-155 dollars. Imagine paying THAT for a vanilla version of the game. Oh, and DLC? What the hell was DLC back in 1988? There wasn't even shareware back then (iirc).
I remember trying to find a copy of that game in the mid 90's, going to a place called Zern's in Boyertown, PA. It's still there, a little flea/farmers market and there were a couple places where you could buy and sell video games, new and retro. I asked for 2 years if they had any copies of Phantasy Star, and it was always no. Then one day the guy saw me and said he had two copies, but only one was for sale and he was holding it for me. He showed me the check he wrote for the two copies...over $1000. He charged me for $400, less than half. Now he could have been swindling me, but I've known people that bought a single copy of that game for more money than what I got it for. It became a rare collectable game in a few years after it's release. My friend's older brother bought two copies when it was a year old, sold one of them (the unopened one) a few years later for $350.
That game set the standard in so many ways. It's a shame that the series fell behind after a few more. Though PSO2 was pretty epic. In 2006, Electronic Gaming Monthly rated PSO2 as the best RPG game ever made (#21 overall). The original Phantasy Star was the second (#26 overall).
There was a remake of it in 2003, but only on the Japanese version of the PS2. I so wish it would have come out in the US. That game was legendary, even by today's standards. If you ever get a chance to play a copy, do it. You won't regret the time spent enjoying this classic and epic game.
