SaGa 3: Champions of Time and Space - Shadow or Light

The Diluvius* appeared in the sky, flooding the world's past, present and future. Monsters emerged from the water, heralding the world's destruction. The only hope is a group of children sent back from the far future. They must assemble the lost components of the legendary Stethelos and use them to travel through time and dimensions, changing history for the better.

*Pureland Water Entity, to us old-school types.

( I have fond memories of the original. )

Overall: I loved this in a lot of ways and hated it in others. Mostly, I loved the story and sidequest additions and the addition of an easy mode that turned this more into a game I enjoyed playing. But I still hate the "random stat-ups / random new techs" levelling system of the SaGa series, and the massive unbalancing and frustration it can cause. If you have fond memories of the original or like the series in general, give it a go.

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions

Sword in hand, a warrior clutches stone to breast
In sword etched he his fading memories
In stone, his tempered skill
By sword attested, by stone revealed
Their tale can now be told.

A remake of the PS1 classic title that adds FMV cutscenes, some voiceovers, a bunch of bonus characters, special multiplayer modes and, most notably, a completely redone translation.

( I know this game pretty well, having played a lot of the original. )

Overall: I think this is generally an improvement over the original; less a remake than an upgraded re-release. It's fundamentally the same game from 1997, the game that really put tactical rpgs into American awareness. It's a classic that deserves your time.
