If any RPG needs a remake it's the Breath of Fire games.
Did this not get already enough remakes? I've seen a bunch of them and to be honest if you have seen one of them you know all of them. There had not been much change which is bliss for some and boring for others.

I've never seen a BOF remake.

Link. I count 5 in total... (hence 4 remakes)
Whatno. Fuck?

That's like saying Final Fantasy 8 is a remake of Final Fantasy 7.

It's a series, and they're all separate games. I've beaten 1 and 2, and am working on 3.
Believe me, they're entirely separate games.

Installments =/= remakes
 
Well, I see Chrono trigger as the best of all time.
1. It's my oppinion.
2. The innovation, for it's time. With multiple endings, things affecting other things in time, the un-random

encounters!!!!
3. The music!!! (IMO the best music in any game any day!)
4. The graphics for it's time...
5. The story, it appeals to me atleast.
6. Nostalgia
 
@Rydian & CyrusBlue:
Successor titles ARE remakes. Sorry to blow this for you but that's the way it is. And yes I played them too and they are rather similar without much big changes and therefor qualify very well for remakes. A remake is in general just the same game with some changes or additions.

You're either trolling, or think you've played some games you actually haven't.

If what you're saying is true, then the mainstream final fantasy games are remakes of each other, the grandia games are remakes of the star ocean games, and all the tales games are remakes of each other.

The breath of fire series of games are entirely separate RPGs. How much of them have you played, just up to the title screen? If that's the case then it's excusable for you to think what you're thinking (but not at all for you to attempt to judge the games based on that), but otherwise you're just trolling.
 
Breath of Fire Dragon Quarter (i.e V) is also NOTHING like previous games in the series...
 
@Rydian
The troll is actually you since you go around accusing others (in this case me) of not having done what I say I have. What is so damn difficult on understanding "having played the games"? Seriously guy grow up and get a life. The BOFs I played I played through or half-way through (if I did it for review purpose only). So I know very well what I say. What goes for BoFQ (xist) I agree that it is different but wow that's 1 of the lot. And yes, these all you mentioned are remakes. Just because marketing people like to call them "installments" or "sequels" or what the hell else doesn't change what they really are: remakes. Watch once Croshaw and then you know why numbers behind game names are the biggest let-down since the existence of remakes. And the next time leave your stupid, weak "accusations" at home.

And to add to this, if what you're saying is true then the final fantasy games are remakes of the star ocean games, the tales games are remakes of the grandia games, and chrono cross is a remake of legend of legaia... or at least they would be if they all had the same title and a number appended.

Your use of the word "remake" is far too loose, and does not fit it's definition.

The breath of fire games involve two main characters with the same name, because they are typically descendants of the original pair.
Is that all you're basing it off of? 'Cause if so, you probably never passed the main character naming screen before making your judgement.

Other than two characters, the other members of the parties in each game are entirely different, the dragon system is different in each game, they take place in a different land/time period, and the storylines are entirely different.


I'm saying that you haven't actually played the games because with what you're saying, you might as well be telling us you've read the bible, and then and ask us "who this jesus guy you all keep mentioning" is. Anybody that's done what you claim to have done would not be asking/stating what you are. What you're saying does not correlate to what's actually in the games, which is why I'm saying you must not have played them.

Are you confusing other games for them? Post some of the things you remember from the games so we can make sure we're talking about the same games. Are you confusing the GBA re-releases of the first and second games? 'Cause those kept their titles, as the first and second.

I think you have the word remake confused. A remake is REMAKING something that already existed. A remake will also contain, in a games case, the almost exact same story. Just updated, maybe some stuff added. When you make a sequel, you don't remake the first game. You make a NEW game, BASED on the previous one. Remake != Sequel.

EDIT: Zelda II. All that's needed to be said.
 
It has to be chrono trigger people praise the game like its the best ever and ill admit its good but its nowhere near the best ever not even in the top 5 IMO.
