View Full Version : Excuse me, Square Enix? Chrono Trigger here... could I, um, get a promotion, please?

While Squenix is off remaking some Final Fantasies, the young and lonely Chrono Trigger- in my opinion, one of the best games in the world- remains forgotten.
Anyway, would you like to see Chrono Trigger remade? I personally, would love have my own copy of Chrono Trigger in my hands.

I would rather they port it over to the DS, maybe up the sprite resolution and introduce some new elements.

As long as there's no voice acting. It would be awkward for people to be having conversations and then direct a question to chrono and you choose the answer then he doesnt say anything and the conversation continues as if he had answered, and if they were to say the answers you choose, chrono having a voice would probably take away his mysterious feel. Otherwise a game with the same battle system and plot with a few added storylines would be great.

Dude, did you see the 3-d remake of Chrono Trigger on youtube? It looks awesome.

Chrono Resurrection? That looked absolutely fantastic in terms of graphics and music. Really quite disappointed that Square shut it down, really.

I'd love a DS port of Chrono Trigger. It's my favourite SNES RPG and the thought of playing it again, possibly with even more side quests and added features would be absolutely lovely.

I think a 3D remake for the DS (or maybe PSP, but I can't afford a PSP) would be great, but, as blackmage_nuke stated, voice acting could be awkward, so I'd pass on that part.:D

I would love anything Chrono in the future. Though once it was brought up to them, they replied with: We would love to do another Chrono, we just don't know if we can get the team back to do it. There was a certain feel that the team brought to Trigger and to Cross. We would need most of them to make the setting and feeling of Chrono again.

I'd be stoked if they gave the Matrix team the job after they finish IV, V, and VI, but I don't see it happening.

I'm sure something will come out of Chrono Trigger eventually. If they could make another sequel (be it direct or indirect) as good as Chrono Cross, I would be absolutely thrilled.

A remake is probably more likely, though, and I'd be good with that too. A DS port would certainly be nice. Get rid of that horrendous loading time from the PS1 version.

If they make a decent port for the DS I would so buy it.

No,unfortunately it never did.:(
I'm crossing my fingers that one day,both chrono games will get a proper PAL release.
Until then,"Dear Square Enix,please stop treating PAL users like trash.":(

*geekgasms* i love that idea. I love the feeling the game brings to itself. theres no righteous we have to save the world. it always seems to be personal. Except for the beginning with Lavos and such that seemed like "How are they supposed to stop them....lvl up"

Screw that. Give it a full overhaul in PS3 Graphics. Keep Gameplay the Same though.

I don't understand why they closed Chrono Resurrection. They could have made a mint if they'd actively invested in and supported the project.

Zechs
10-21-2007, 11:15 PM
Either they have something planned for Chrono, they don't want to be shown up, or they feel that it would take away from them. Either way, we don't know. Though, Chrono Break is still...

Bolivar

To be honest, I don't believe it needs a remake. Anyone in the PAL territories, just download the ROM. If the feel isn't the same, buy a controller for your comp and if that doesn't do it, hook the vid up to a tv.

CT still dwarves most games released today, I agree with Omecle that a resolution upgrade could benefit, but that's about it.

Irenicuss
10-25-2007, 03:36 PM
Yeah Chrono trigger ! A remake would be fun, not portable tough, killing my neck. There's barley any rpg games to the ps3 so that would be something. Ps2 would work if they dare.

Lenneth
10-30-2007, 10:01 PM
Yeah. I was pretty pissed off when I learned that they threatened to sue the guys who were making CT:R if they didn't stop.

It's craparoni.

No. I don't want the value of my SNES copy to drop one penny.

But yeah, it would be awesome.

how about adding it to the Wii's virtual console at least.

geez SE i dont know what you problem is but we want more CT!

Be careful what you wish. After Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, The World of Mana, Ivalice Alliance, and Fabula Nova Crystallis, the Chrono universe could very well be their next target for whoring out a franchise for all it's worth.

Skyblade

No. Do not do this. The PS3 Tech Demo of FFVII convinced me that nothing before the PS2 era should ever be upgraded to that graphic level. They don't know how to handle the conversion properly. It would look more realistic, but we'd lose some of the feel of the game, and I do not want that to happen.

If they did it similar to the way Chrono Resurrection was doing it, it might work, but that has not been SE's graphical style on their newer games at all.

I say port it to the DS, enhance the graphics a little bit (without changing their style or format), but other than that, leave it alone. A Chrono Trigger remake could be brilliant, but, if they ruin it, they will ruin one of the best games of all time.

I would to like to see this game re-released in some form, whether it be for the DS or the Wii Virtual Console. Hell, I'd even buy a PSP if it was released for that

I don't really want to see a remake, not with a game as great as CT is. A port to DS would be fantastic, but the game's too wonderfully perfect as-is to try to overhaul...furthermore SE is full of blundering idiots these days, they would certainly do more harm than good. And then there's what le faux homme said.

the Chrono universe could very well be their next target for whoring out a franchise for all it's worth.
Which would probably be even more of a shame than what they've done to Final Fantasy, since it is kind of to be expected from such a franchise, but not Chrono, that would just be wrong.

A port would be meh.

A full cell shaded remake would be cool

A third installment would be by far the best.

The one thing I actively dislike about ports/remakes is not the game that comes out, but the fact resources are diverted from producing new games. I've played the old ones before, and although playing them in a marginally different way is cool, wouldn't having a new game be so much cooler?

I'd rather Square Enix used their time to make new games instead of porting and remaking everything they've already made. Especially good games that don't need to be remade.

I agree. Square Enix should have the resources to create a new game in this series and please a lot of fans of the original two games, but it takes a lot of fan input to convince them to shift their focus.

Rostum
12-10-2007, 11:13 PM
Yeah, I remember modding my PSX and waiting forever for my Chrono Cross import to arrive.

I would definitely rather a third game instead of a remake, if that was an option.

Unfortunately, remakes are far cheaper and a guaranteed profit, new games are expensive and speculative. Looking at it from a business point of view it makes the outlook even blearier.

I actually agree with Omecle...I don't think a remake of CT would work. Personally, I hated the PS1 version. The cutscenes were unnecessary, and kinda destroyed the picture I had in my head of the characters from when I was younger. 3D would be cool, but I think it would be better suited to a continuation of the series. I loved how Chrono Cross threw in references to CT every once in a while...it made me feel so special, like I somehow got something more out of it because I had played CT. I know there was the rumored Chrono Break a while ago that a name copyright had temporarily been placed on, but it would be pretty cool for that to come back.:love:

crono_logical
01-29-2008, 09:23 PM
I didn't like the PS1 version of CT either, the load times were so horrid at each battle I just gave up playing it after a short while :p The gameplay flowed so much more nicely in the SNES version :p

Akaria
01-29-2008, 10:34 PM
Yeah, really! Even the load time to the freaking menu...Cmon, guys, really? Unnecessary.

Any more Chrono series is unlikely, the Chrono Team has split up and since left Square completely. Two of the driving members have stated they would be intrested in doing another, but they left due to frustration, and the third has since cut off all ties and refuses to have anything more to do with it, unless a reconcilation is on the cards, there won't be any more.

Roogle

Some game series continue without input from the lead developers or the lead creator of the series. If Square Enix wants to pursue a game in this series, they can do so without the cooperation of the original team of developers that made the game.

The Suikoden series has continued without input from its original team. Some gamers have noticed a lack of direction in the series since a certain part of Suikoden III.

During a Cubed³ interview on February 1, 2007, Square Enix’s Senior Vice President Hiromichi Tanaka said that although no sequel is currently planned, some sort of sequel is still possible if the Chrono Cross developers can be reunited.
In January 2008, composer Yasunori Mitsuda remarked that "there are a lot of politics involved" in creating a new game

I don't think Square would attempt to make a game without the core people that made it was it was and such a hit.
