There are PC versions of Sakura Wars 1 already, btw. I think it might even be better to have the "Premium Edition"s of the Sakura Wars games on GOG, because those PC versions have cutscenes in higher quality and such.

my wife really likes this game so thats why im voting for it. ive never been that into sakura wars but ive always wanted to play it without having to do it through an emulator im not familiar with and it getting released on pc in an official capacity would make that so much easier
One of the most influential games SEGA has released. The beautiful 2D animations, the characters and the tactical gameplay took Japan by storm and has been released in multiple ways ever since. As such, I believe it should be kept available for those willing to revive those moments, or for the ones that want to experience it first hand. Yes, it will need a translation and a DRM free patch, but apart from that, it should not give many problems to release.

If y'all really think GOG would just re-release this game, it's a very low chance. They'd basically have to pay a big amount of money for an English translation
I remember when I first played Sakura Wars. It was a Japanese copy my friends dad had. I had to spend so much time figuring out everything, but the vibes and gameplay had me hooked. When I was able to play a translated version later I felt like I got to experience for the first time again. I would love to see it preserved and any others in the franchise. It has a very special place in my heart and will always be one of my all time favorites!
