If the online rumour mill - which has been very right this week - is correct, we're getting an Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim remaster. A number of reports suggest a PS4 and Xbox One remake of the one game that literally everyone has been screaming for.
While Bethesda celebrates Skyrim's anniversary, it is worth remembering that the long-awaited Starfield should have launched this month too.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order

Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon

I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.
Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.
You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.
I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.
In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
Skyrim: Anniversary Edition has been announced, and so has new content for the base game.
I can't get excited about flat Skyrim anymore after trying it in VR. It's the only way I'll even play it now.
Your both right. I have played it on psvr and it's far superior to the regular game, even with mods. And yeah, just like with GTA, people will rebuy this game again for sure.
I will probably buy it. Aside from me this game has been out for 10 years so a entire new group of gamers might enjoy it as well. For me I love this game and don't find myself enjoying many rpgs like I do skyrim.
Games are about having fun and I have fun with skyrim even now
I've never bought or played it before (more of a Fallout fan) but I plan on eventually getting Skyrim for the Switch.
Honestly at this point I just wished they remastered Oblivion for a change instead of this every 2 weeks.
I'd be afraid of them changing the charming aspects of the game for being too old or not in line with what Skyrim brought in. Like redoing VAs with different people, changing the way models look but also restricting everything in character creator to do that, or just rewriting quest dialogue for whatever reason. I can remember the Adoring fan, Glarthir, and the grey prince clear as day 15 years later, but in Skyrim I can only remember the guy you click a single option to buy him a drink in Whiterun and he goes, "My favorite drinking buddy" every single time you see him. Plus the other 2 obnoxious NPCs in whiterun that just exist to be obnoxious.
I've been hollering for a Fallout 3 Remastered and it never came either, lol. I have to fire up my PS3 in order to play Fallout 3 but you can play this on damn near everything, lol
Would be nice if the new content came to the existing editions on various consoles.
Man I loved Morrowind. It was my first experience with an Elder Scrolls game. If they ever remake it, I'll buy it day 1.
I lost 2 years of my life to Morrowind. Easily the best Elder Scrolls. Huge, immersive, and memorable with a vast variety.
Because they're stupid,that's why.
Luckily people have modded morrowind to be hd and to have a further view distance, but for whatever reason I like it better with the cloud hiding the smaller view distance.
I don't think they will remake it, there is so much dialog that would probably have to be voice acted to please today's audience. The combat probably wouldn't fly either, but it's meant to be based on stats and luck and not really player skill. There's a lot of depth in building your character that just isn't there in the newer games, but I suspect it just won't sell anywhere near skyrim.
