Phil writes, "In an industry full of sequels (though that isn't exclusive to the video game industry, of course), it's nice to see new franchises come about. However, not all of these wind up being successful. No, some end up having the best of intentions and end up either getting ripped to shreds by critics or sell horribly on the market. Other times, the publisher just moves on and doesn't give a game a chance to blossom into a series by giving it a sequel. Whichever the case, One and Done is a new series on SuperPhillip Central that delves into the games that saw but one entry, not including remastered versions or enhanced ports.
After checking out SuperPhillip Central's initial six picks, which games that never got a sequel are your favorites?"
The Legend of Dragoon is held in very high regard by Sony stalwarts, a JRPG developed in-house for the original PlayStation. While it never achieved the same success as other games of that era, it's retained a cult status, and you still see calls from fans today for Sony to return to the land of Endiness. Now, fans can say that Mark Cerny, lead system architect for the PS4 and PS5, ranks among their number.
There's definitely parts of it that haven't aged well, for sure. It would be interesting to see how a remake could fix the things that need it while somehow maintaining the game's charm.
i think the combat could definitely be almost like expedition 33, with the precision input thing.
My thoughts exactly. It's been a long-ass time since I've played it, but I remember there being weirdness with the plot regarding a female character. I'm on the fence about whether I'd want an FF7 Remake-style approach, or just a warts-and-all approach of it being the same exact game with 21st century graphics and presentation.
Even with regards to the goofy voice acting lol!
Part of me wants that FF7R style treatment.
A fantastic JRPG that should return. I wish Sony would just remake this already. I mean Bluepoint Studios makes fantastic remakes... there you go Sony.
They do…and as soon as Sony bought them they decided to waste their talents on a GaaS title for 5 years before cancelling it.
Such a shame
We could have had at least a remake from them with the next one close to being teased
Jrpg age well it’s not like replaying driver.
And its flaws like to much random encounter and slow combat can easily be fixed
It's still one of those hidden gem JRPG's I love the game. I wish Sony would do something with the title whether an HD remaster or give it the remake treatment like Square did with FF7. I also wish Sony would do something with the Wild Arms franchise and another JRPG franchise I love as well.
Story and charecters were good, cinematics were top notch and gameplay was fun for its time but world and exploration left much to be desired especially after playing games that came out before it like FF and Xenogears . It's a shame we never got another in-house made Sony rpg , kinda surprised they never tried to acquire Level-5 for all they rpgs they've made for them
How Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues the legacy of Japanese RPGs that halted with Lost Odyssey on Xbox 360.
I bought an XB360 to play this game. I also played other gems like Blue Dragon, Gears of War, and ES: Oblivion but Lost Odyssey was the precursor and one of the best jRPGs ever.
I would definitely buy that. They remake and remaster a bunch of stuff we don't need/want but they let the really good stuff sit on the shelf collecting dust.
Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer would like to see the revival of Xbox's Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey Crimson Skies, and more.
What these games need are remasters and to modern platforms. They're all unfortunately stuck on the 360.
They are available on series x as well. But would be nice to get them out even wider.
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon and FFXIII Trilogy is actually the only reason I still have my Series X.
Because Phil and team seem to enjoy going to websites and forums to see what fans are discussing and wanting, to earn good faith points with post like this while they continue to offer the bare minimum.
Remastered and remake games are lame... A gigantic "we don't know how to evolve original thoughts" from dev teams cashing in on old ip.... Make new stuff or gtfo.
no remasters and remakes provide those games to new audiences and improve the look/gameplay
Then…remaster / remake them
🤷🏻♂️
After renewed interest you can get Mistwalker to do a sequel to Lost Odyssey
Love legend of dragoon. surprised that hasnt been given a hd remake / reboot.
As to part 2 I'd like to add one that may / may not be on the list. Dante's Inferno. Granted it is a GoW clone but one of the better hack and slash clones. they had material for a sequel and possible 3rd entry.
Legend of Dragoon
I wish a Reboot for this game .. Love it so much
Absolutely criminal theres never been a sequel to bully 😐
