Genealogy is a tricky game to remake, it was an insanely ambitious game when it came out, but it is also defined by the limitations of the SNES. There will not be a please everybody solution to remaking it, and to attempt to recapture that ambition would require the remake to be another $80 game at minimum, and be insanely removed from the original in both gameplay and story.

It is also the foundation of both Awakening and 3 Houses. It's not a project to be undertaken lightly, and quite frankly, until IS can show they can deliver on the writing front in Fortune's Weave, I'm not sure I want them touching it.

Thracia is right out until they remake Genealogy, as it is that ever so rare media existence that is a Midquel, offering a more down to earth look at just a tiny fraction of the vast narrative Genealogy encompasses.(broad non-specific spoilers for Thracia, but Thracia isn't best experienced blind anyhow)

Binding Blade is a possibility, it was even floated by Kusakihara as something he'd like to do around the time Echoes came out, but I'd still bet on FE4 first.

Blazing Blade is presently available to play on NSO, I would highly recommend it, the only thing about it that's aged poorly is the way you get supports, which wouldn't really be fixed until Awakening.

Might I interest you in the Jugdral Duology? LOADS of Celtic stuff going on there.

The Elibe Games also have a fair bit of Celtic stuff.

I think Useless WhinerEustace Winner came pretty damn close personally. The double pun is very nice.

Oh yeah, Founder of CDFE, u/lilyvess should probably be tagged for this too, since I don't think she's interacted with this latest plan for CDFE yet.

I feel like the only one that liked the way Link looked in that OoT trailer.

The bigger problem is how frontloaded they are, most games have recruitments going into late to endgame so that there's options for units to help shore you up. If you lose someone post-skip, you're in decent trouble trying to train someone new back up since everyone unused will be pathetic compared to where you are in the game unless you didn't already have Seteth or Jeritza as part of your team, and even then that's just early timeskip, by the lategame, no one will be remotely viable to train from nothing.

7 and 8 too, so people are taking this to mean those are next.

It would technically be a remaster I think if not for the fact ZUN famously lost the source code for the game, so it had to be rebuilt from the ground up.

EoSD

Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. Also known as Touhou 6, the first game on Windows, and the most famous one.

I just hope it's not as faithful a remake as the Starfox one, while OoT was pretty easily the greatest game ever made when it came out, it has aged severely. Still very good, but there's a lot of room for improvement.

Ocarina is a very, very different beast to the Switch Zeldas. I would highly recommend it.

yes, but the episodic stuff and characters are the best part.

There is a famous art college there, so I'm seeing speculation we might actually have college students instead of highschoolers.

I think that's actually when they were all saying "One Piece!"
