We can’t lie: Our biggest article for August 2019 was none other than the news regarding Peter Dalton’s comments on a potential of a The Legend of Dragoon Remaster.
You read that right. An article about a PS1 JRPG that hasn’t received a new entry in 19 years! There’s a group of Gamers who want more LoD in their life!
Shuhei Yoshida, President of Sony WWS, knows this. You see, Shuhei was the Executive Producer on the original Legend of Dragoon and admits in a interview with Gamerbraves.com that he is asked quite often about a potential Remaster of the JRPG he once worked on. He knows, saying he would be interested in an a Remaster of something that he was so heavily involved with.
There’s only one issue. He also admitted that he has heard nothing of a Legend of Dragon Remaster/Remake project going on.
You might have heard about rumours regarding a Legend of Dragoon remake. It isn’t in the works now from what we know, and Yoshida himself hasn’t heard of it. It segues into Yoshida talking about how hard making remakes and remasters can be. While a remaster can be as simple as graphical improvements and button assignments, remakes are of course, a whole different beast, as we can see with Final Fantasy VII Remake. “We could do a quick remaster, but people can see it (if it’s a quick job), and everyone will be disappointed.” The Legend of Dragoon was previously on four discs as well, so it would be a fairly difficult task.
Is the dream dead? Possibly! Is there a faint sliver of hope? There could be. Of course Shuhei isn’t going to drop news regarding a bombshell announcement of a Legend of Dragoon Remaster/Remake in any random article. This would be something Sony would at least tweet about on Twitter, given the way they’ve been announcing things these days.
What do you think, Brah? Should we continue to create online petitions for fans to sign online or should we retire our Dart cosplay outfits and move to series such as Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts? Let us know in the comments below.

Please yes! I’ve just recently been playing back through LoD on my ps2 when I take breaks from my PS4 and I would love to see a remastered/remade version of this amazing game.

I agree I have been playing back through it’s also. The thing about this game is it was so far advanced for its time. It is to this day one of the best RPGs I think ever made and think it was the wrong time to release it. The PS2 was shortly being released so people were caught up with that among many other reasons. There are a lot more gamers now and the world of gaming has expanded drastically. I really think they need to do a remake and then continue on with prequels and sequels. If people nowadays got to play this game remade it would get the glory it deserved back then. I can guarantee it would be very popular and profitable!!!

Yes! Please! With so many games being remade that weren’t nearly as good in originality, story depth and possibly one of the only JRPGs to adept active button use in combat of it’s time, this game is well beyond due either a remake or a sequel/prequel. There are so many aspects that could be played on. The creation of the Black Monster, the future of the dragon stones etc.

I agree with the people here. I played throught the entire game myself when it was on ps1 and still bought it on my ps3 and vita because the story and characters are just told in such a unique way that most rpgs dont really tell in the same manner. Very underrated rpg game and if it was to be remade for.current gen consoles, take my money and if a collectors edition drops, have like the dragoon stones as the statue figure. Bet PLS bring us all the hope for a remade LoD game as it would definitely be a HUGE seller.

If there is any game that someone asks about being a hidden gem. It’s Legend of Dragoon. Also, no other game can produce a feeling quite as connected as this.

More petitions I freaking love this game it’s unique and fun to play. I really want to see this with some better graphics. And maybe fixed from all the typos and such.. better audio etc. I know it won’t be easy but I still want to see it.

God I hope they revisit this title after 20 years. It had great music, story, memorable characters (# RIP Lavitz) and made me really dive into this world. If they release it on the PS 5, I’d buy the console just to play this game in exquisite graphical details. Legend of Dragoon really deserves some love and attention. But I want to see it done right, not just a slight polish. At least PS 4 level of quality of a AAA Game (if it comes out for the next gen console)
