Suikoden 2 or FFVI. GO.

This the type of game that I don’t believe a sequel would be a good idea, but a true remake (totally remake it) for the NX or another system (or all?) would be wonderful.

Sounds a lot like Suikoden V opening

Try “Final Fantasy Tactics Journey of the Five” It’s a FFT hack that basically is a remake with some cool added characters (Snake is one). It’s amazing.
