Siliconera: Square Enix producer and twitter addict Shinji Hashimoto has another PlayStation Classics announcement for Japan.
Twinfinite writes: "Each one of us has felt the loss that comes with a loved game series dying out on us. A lack of sales, favorable reviews, or even just interest can all play a roll in getting a series put out to pasture, rarely, if ever, heard from again. While some series are better off going back to the abyss which spawned them, most deserve at least one more chance in the sun. I rounded up the staff and asked them what game they would resuscitate if they had unlimited resources. Think of this as a tiny peek into our collective insanity."
Why is Left for Dead on this list. I'd hardly call it dormant considering it is Valve.
I would bring back Shadow Hearts. Or maybe Okami. OH, how about the Mana games. Final Fight or Streets of Rage. No, screw it, ACTRAISER. And not the bs sequel either but a continuation of the first games concept.
"Billed as being part of Square’s “Summer of Adventure” lineup back in 2000, Threads of Fate (known as Dewprism in Japan) is a PSOne title frequently cited as one of those games that should have gotten a sequel.
Well-received and fun to play, ToF is a challenging platformer/RPG that holds up to modern gaming standards…minus a hefty dose of replayability and exploration."

It seems like games today are obsessed with experimenting with story in an assortment of ways. Changes in perspective, pacing, and characterization have given us both great and not so great games, but for just about every mechanic, astute gamers will always be able to point out when something was done before, and probably better too. Of all the interesting mechanics we’ve yet to see a true return to, a dual set of parallel adventures in a single game isn’t something we’ve really seen since Squaresoft’s Threads of Fate, a Kurosawa-esque game that had one uniquely awesome mechanic going for it.
My god! I remember this game. It was so awesome! The story was funny, and it went away from the cliche RPG crap. Mint wanted to take over the world and stuff. She was pretty funny. The cast was rather enjoyable too. I wish they would give this an HD remake, but square just wants to pump out more Final Fantasies
I love this game so much. One of my first games on the original PlayStation. I had so much fun with the transformation magic.
so happy to hear this!
This game was one of my favorites!! Back when Squaresoft knocked out quality titles back to back to back. Ah man...good game.
I never heard of this. What is it about and it is any good?
I remember seeing this in stores back when the psx was out, it might of been when I was a rabid nintendo fanboy and refused to buy a system that had "load times", lol.
Really looking forward to getting this on the psn, I love psx era square rpgs.
