Occassionally you come across people who play PDSaga waaaaaaay after the fact and can't get past the 32-bit graphics.

It happens.

Reason why it should be re-released with new AAA-grade graphics.

No, because then it will be trashed:
For being incredibly short.
For the plot not holding your hand.
For it not "living up" to the uninformed's expectations.
For it not letting you choose your responses to people.
For it not being open ended.

Etc.

PDSaga should forever remain a treasure on the Saturn, for those of us who can appreciate the Saturn even now and still see games like PDSaga as absolutely gorgeous despite the aging graphics.

It's certainly not the graphics that get to me. I enjoy playing plenty of other Saturn/PSX Games of the time.

I just didn't find the gameplay fun. It felt like a real chore to play it, which makes it a bad game to me

The graphics in Saga are really good imo, past the first section mind. the water effect at shellcoof is amazing.

But of all those problems you listed none had anything to do with graphics.

Um, that was my point. Remaking PDSaga in this day and age, it would get trashed by reviewers, because of what they think it should be. If it was remade with better graphics, then why would a reviewer complain about the graphics?

If you played Panzer Dragoon Saga around release and are capable of appreciating games from around that time, then chances are you will see PDSaga as one of the most brilliant RPGs to ever be made.

But if you're one of these dimwits that compares Lost Odyssey to MASS EFFECT and then groans about LO not being innovative since the main character isn't a space marine... then... chances are you wouldn't really get PDSaga.

Not you personally... but you know.

Nobody else will ever get to play saga since a copy costs you your soul.

So remake it!

If you learn Japanese you can get if for next to nothing with a beautiful manual as well.
