5 Retro Hidden Gems on PlayStation 1 That NEED Remakes

The PlayStation 1 was FULL of JRPG goodness. It was so full, in fact, that there are a ton of really great or, at the very least, extremely promising JRPGs that just didn't get the attention they deserved. That's why I think they deserve a remake. If they had issues, let the remake iron them out! Here are five JRPGs on the PlayStation 1 that didn't get the love when they were new and could finally earn it through a remake! Check out our JRPG Podcast, The JRPG Pursuit!
