Top Games Fans Want Remade on the PS3

A recent survey of 1,075 people in Japan that was taken by Goo Rankings was created to determine what PlayStation-era games fans in Japan wanted to be remade with PlayStation 3 technology. The list was rather predictably dominated by the JRPG genre, with Square Enix taking control of 12 of the top 20 spots, with all of the top 6 titles belonging to them individually. The full list can be found below, with the only surprise being that Final Fantasy VIII edged out what should have been the easy winner:

1. Final Fantasy VIII (Square)
2. Final Fantasy VII (Square)
3. Final Fantasy IX (Square)
4. Xenogears (Square)
5. Valkyrie Profile (Enix)
6. Paraiste Eve (Square)
7. Ghost in the Shell (Sony)
8. Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu (Human)
9. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (Namco)
10. Dino Crisis (Capcom)
11. King's Field (From Software)
12. Segare Ijiri (Square)
13. Legend of Dragoon (Sony)
14. Front Mission Alternative (Square)
15. Vagrant Story (Square)
16. Tobal No.1 (Square)
16. Kowloon's Gate (Artdink)
16. Bushido Blade (Square)
16. Ehrgeiz (Square)
16. Pepsiman (Kid)

Considering that Square Enix has rejected any notion of following through with fans wishes of remaking some of their most popular titles in the company's history, the fact that their business performance has been hurt significantly as of late may force them to finally reconsider. Just don't be too surprised if the remakes may also leave something to be desired if their latest crop of games are any indication.
