Even Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, which is regarded by long-standing Monster Hunter fans as the best game in the entire franchise has become harder to find due to the Nintendo 3DS’ e-shop closing down. The older Monster Hunter games are incredibly hard to find and very expensive to purchase these days from retailers due to them being released on older systems like the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, or Nintendo Wii U.
However, I had much more difficulty finding and purchasing older titles. I was able to acquire and enjoy titles like Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate on Nintendo Switch and Monster Hunter Stories on iOS.
While I was waiting for Monster Hunter Rise to be released, I went back and played a couple of older titles in the series. Speaking of Monster Hunter, another dream announcement of mine from Capcom that could come about during the Xbox Games Showcase is a Monster Hunter collection that bundles together a selection of retro Monster Hunter titles. Breath of Fire 3 and 4, in particular, are among some of my favorite JRPGs ever - their high-quality gameplay and stories even rivaled those of Square Enix’s critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy titles released for the original PlayStation. They were amazing JRPG adventures where you traveled across classic fantasy settings, met up with cool characters who joined your party, and battled titanic monsters, which required using Ryu’s dragon powers to incinerate them.

Breath of Fire was a series of JRPGs made by Capcom that followed the adventures of a blue-haired warrior named Ryu (not related to Street Fighter’s Ryu) who had the ability to transform into dragons. Since Capcom is willing to bring back old franchises like Dragon’s Dogma, I believe now is the time for Capcom to revive one of my favorite JRPG series of all time - Breath of Fire. With new original, upcoming Xbox titles like Exoprimal and Pragmata, while also announcing a sequel to Dragon’s Dogma, Capcom is showing no signs of slowing down. Capcom announces the return of the Breath of Fire series for XboxĬapcom has been on a roll for several years, pumping out winner after winner like Monster Hunter World, Monster Hunter Rise, Devil May Cry 5, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 4 (2023), and recently Street Fighter 6. Either way, it would set the gaming world on fire because if PlayStation’s golden child, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, came to Xbox consoles, it would prove that games being released as multi-platform titles is the way of the future.
Perhaps this is a sign that Final Fantasy 7 Remake could make its way onto Xbox Series X|S someday, or an Xbox announcement could be made alongside an Xbox port of its upcoming sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Although hope is not entirely lost as Final Fantasy 7’s prequel game, Crisis Core -Final Fantasy 7- Reunion, received an Xbox port in December 2022. Unfortunately, Xbox fans may never get to experience this momentous title as Final Fantasy 7 Remake has not yet been ported to Xbox consoles, even though its PlayStation-exclusivity deal has run out and has been ported onto PC. It has one of the best action-based combat systems the franchise has ever had, the presentation is gorgeous, and it has revitalized fan-favorite characters for a modern audience without sacrificing their memorable traits and personalities. On the other hand, I can’t deny that this game brought new life back into the iconic JRPG.
I wasn’t on board with the execution of the story changes and direction this game took compared to the original PlayStation One classic. As a devoted Final Fantasy fan since the 1990s, I personally have mixed feelings about Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
