It just needs localization. Probably one of my fave FF games. The QOL improvements certainly look like they'd make it more approachable for the 21st century :D

The west desperately needs updated versions of the "Final Fantasy Legends" games. We still are stuck with the original game boy games. Collection of Saga should have been the remakes.

Unfortunately, they added the weird leveling up system from SaGa I and II to the III remake. I played a bit ago on the DS (got a translated cart) and just couldn't do it.

Because it's a SaGa game and not a FF game.

I was so excited when SaGa 2 was announced for DS, then we just never got it.

Just because you are butt-destroyed that SaGa is a failure outside of Japan doesn't mean that that isn't the reason why places outside of Japan didn't get the remake.

Yeah I am disappointed it hasnt gotten a western release. I love that game. Im human after all .

Not sure about your point on Saga thought. Its quite clearly named Final Fantasy in the west. Yes I accept it was named Saga in Japan.

Heres hoping itll still come out at some point.

Because, to a Japanese company, a game that did highly poorly outside of Japan that is a part of a series that has done highly poorly outside of Japan will be viewed from their own, once again Japanese, viewpoint. You might only know it as Final Fantasy, but they only know it as SaGa and as the developers their viewpoint trumps yours in terms of how they view their own product with respect to porting it.
