This generation of consoles have offered us a myriad of new experiences via gameplay and improved graphical presentations. The PS3 has a great amount of titles to offer, but is currently missing something that PS2 and PS One offered in abundance. What am I talking about? RPGs. With big name titles such as Final Fantasy XIII and White Knight Story coming down the line, there is currently a void left to be filled. Sony could improve the current content offered on the Playstation Store through introducing more of the classic RPGs.
RPGs would substantially improve the lack of content. Something that everyone wants. Which RPGs would you like to see on the PS Store?
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
FF7, no doubt, no question, no arguing.
xenogears was fun too.
I want some bloody hacky and slash... With thousands of weapons and armor upgrades. Come on Wizards of the Coast get someone to give a true Champions of Norrath.
So MANY rpgs that need to pop up again. I feel like we see certain games, mostly snes era, redone all the time, but ps1 era needs some love. PS1 was definitely my personal favorite console for rpgs. If you're going to remake games for handhelds, do it for consoles too, because a lot of us don't have a practical use for a handheld.
Chrono Cross, Suikodens, Star Ocean, Saga Frontier, Legend of Mana, Lunar, Ogre Battle Series, Xenogears, Vanguard Bandits... my list goes on and on, and yet all we've seen so far is Wild Arms, which is good, but I have the original AND the remake, so it makes little difference to me.
I think they will come around but it has not been their weakness, like it has been for MS and it's Japanese culture battle. Yeah some are waiting for FF13 but then what?
The 360 has gotten some new franchises under it's belt. I'm close to beating Lost Odyssey and infinite discovery might be next, then Last remenant and Fable...360 has got me covered so I'm patient with the PS3 and the lack of W/Jrpgs.
