8 Video Game Remakes That Need To Happen (And What They Should Fix)

8. Vagrant Story - Provide A Better Tutorial<br>

For those who have played this beast, Vagrant Story is one of the best RPG's that Square Enix never followed through on, merely taking the bits they liked for a planned sequel and plopping them into Final Fantasy 12, which while by no means a shabby title, doesn't capture the same sense of tension the ps1 classic did.

However, and I'm sure that I'll lose that much-coveted respect that is so hard to build up in the JRPG community, I personally found Vagrant Story to be much too convoluted for its own good, all thanks to its tutorial or lack thereof.

The game uses a complex and deeply rewarding combat system and uses it to great extent thanks to the titles focus on dungeon crawling, yet with little to no indication of how to actually make the most of the system, many players bounced off the game before it managed to sink its claws in.

Therefore if I were to ever remake this, aside from mandating the assless chaps that are on the original character designs remain intact, I would add in a comprehensive tutorial system that is more than just reams of dialogue or copy-pasted text from the manual.

Sometimes concessions need to be made for remasters and remakes to connect with modern audiences, and this is something I feel will open the gate for many on a truly brilliant RPG experience.
