I’m seeing a lot of chatter now about other series that should get HD2D remakes, like Xenogears (YES!), Chrono Trigger, Pokémon, and even the NES/SNES Zelda games.

Lol I'd actually had that thought this morning while playing. I was heading to Alltrades Abbey and was like, "Man Pokemon Crystal would look dope in this style". Or really any of the 2D Pokemon games.
I feel like the entire hd/2d scheme and the games consistently getting better from octopath over live a live, star ocean 2r and now dq3 is square putting multiple teams at contest with each other in an attempt to perfect this technology so they can then do Chrono Trigger once they nail it completely
I love HD2D but I’m even more excited by new games in the style than about classic remasters. Then again, Xenogears and Chrono Trigger especially could do with being more accessible on current hardware!
I wouldn't mind the Ultima Series up to 7 (Plus the game size expansion in 7).
Might and Magic series up to 8 as well too.
So much good games to get this treatment.
I don’t think every game needs a remake or even an “HD2D” remake, but I wouldn’t mind a return to sprite-based games from big companies like Capcom and Nintendo.
pokemon games from now on should be open world HD2D, it's easier to develop for, more within Gamefreaks ability, and honesty the sprites were so much more alive and fun
I'm not the biggest fan of the HD2D style but I'll accept it for Xenogears if it makes the platforming either a lot more straightforward, or a lot more annoying. No in between.
Give us a Kirby RPG in that HD2D style. (I may or may not want to see King Dedede with Barbarian-style mechanics. Just an absolute unit of a tank with a rage system, especially if its Beast or Masked Dedede)
Xenogears would be cool. It already kinda does the 2D characters/3D environment thing, so it would translate to HD2D pretty well. Only thing is whether or not they'd keep the 3D for gears and large enemies.

Also the Quintet trilogy (Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia/Time, Terranigma) is well overdue for a remake.
