I wish they would do it like they did FF4. Then that would be some good justice right there. Sadly they aren't.

I don't like SE for most cases.
Now, when it comes to FF, I don't bitch when there are ports or remakes, I only bitch when they make a million spin offs for ever game that was deemed "popular" at some point. If an FF has a number 1-12 I won't bitch.
Yes, I am annoyed that there are like 3 FFXIII's, the only one I'll even look at is which ever one is the REAL FFXIII.
With that said, I never bothered buying FFChronicals when it came out. So I am looking totally forward to a CT port, I would love to have all my child hood games to be portable. What I would NOT like though, is to have all my child hood games being raped and forced to spawn various spin offs for the sake of money.
I'm actually kind of glad they're not doing the 3D makeover. I'm not a fan of Akira Toriyama's artwork at ALL. It's better left as sprites.
I agree. When ever I see Toriyama's work in anything I can automatically be like "Hey that looks like -random DBZ person" which really kills everything. Every time I looked at Chrono I thought like, Irish Goku and Marle was Bulma, and Ironically so was Lucca. Then Frog in his human form was Trunks, and Magus was vegeta. What's worse is that if it wasn't for the fact they had SLIGHTLY different styles of clothes, if you just looked at head shots and changed the color of their hair, they would all be identicle.I'm actually kind of glad they're not doing the 3D makeover.

Yeah, I'm not too much of a fan of his work because everything he draws looks exactly the same, but I mainly just wanted voices and more personality in the characters. Especially wanted to see Frog draw the Masamune in 3D.I agree.

Seriously, tell me that's not freakin' epic!

I actually though it was The World Ends With You and the upcoming Last Remenants that REdeemed Square, not the remakes, but thats just me.
And all I really want are a few more double and Triple techs in this game.
Hell, if there was ever a Chrono Cross remake or port, I would demand more double techs. No way in hell it sits well with me that Trigger and its 7 characters had more double techs then Cross and it's what, 20 some odd characters?
I'm optimistic, because I love this freaking game. I had to play it on the crappy PS port. Which was awful. It made it unbearable to get through a single playthrough with its incredible loading and saving times. Yes, it does matter. As for finding one on the SNES thats not going to happen, and if I'm going to rebuy this game, I wouldn't mind having something a little extra tbh.
Its mainly for fanboys. :P
Yeah. Jeez. It really hurts my head when people complain about companies like Capcom and Square re-releasing and rehashing old games in an attempt to just harvest money. It would be one thing if they were just money-grubbing without giving back anything decent, but for these 2 companies it's not the case. Here are some upcoming non-sequel, non-franchise (and non-cel phone :P) games from Square-Enix that would likely be impossible to properly fund without the continuous income of their rereleases:I actually though it was The World Ends With You and the upcoming Last Remenants that REdeemed Square, not the remakes, but thats just me.
Nanashi no Game - DS (came out today in JP, horror game)
Infinite Undiscovery - PS360
The Last Remnant - 360
Sigma Harmonics - DS (Mystery RPG)
Sure, some of you folks may not be interested in any of these, or in The World Ends With You, but that's okay. Square relies on you to buy all their sure-shots so they can continue to make more unique games (or at least recoup some development costs) for those that do want more from them. I vastly prefer this strategy to Atari's, where DBZ is basically all that's keeping them (barely) afloat.
I don't mind if game companies keep 'taking', however shameless it may appear (it is business after all), as long as they 'give' something worthwhile back once in a while.
One thing I don't agree with though, is how Squenix DS games are $10 more than all other 3rd party games, or $5 more than Nintendo's own top quality games. Since there aren't any particularly significant enhancements to Chrono Trigger (like being in 3D), I really hope they don't add their normal 'tax' to the title.
The Akira Toriyama artwork is one of the reasons I abruptly stopped playing Dragon Quest VIII. It's downright awful to look at in my opinion.
I hope they give Magus some double-techs.
Akira Toriyama's characters look fine the first time you see his work. After that, though, you just see three different characters wearing new cloths and hairstyles. I don't know why Japan is so crazy about him.

I'm pretty sure Japan doesn't like him just because of his art :P just that his art is easily recognizable. It's all about Dragon Ball and by extension, Dragon Quest. 'Japan' practically grew up with those two franchises, so having Toriyama's art on anything that isn't already related to those two is counting on tugging those nostalgic heartstrings.
When you think of characters he's made, you likely think the most about 'Hero' characters or certain villains, generally people who should be relatively conservative in design so to appeal easier to a broader audience. I feel his personal style shines through when he's not confined having to make something look 'normal', particularly his Monster designs. He's a very creative guy when it comes to that, and I think he probably prefers drawing Monsters where he can do whatever he wants rather than humanoid heroes who have to look a certain way.
I think his art is just overexposed, and I can see how people can get bored of it or even be repelled by it. I still like it.

I hope they don't actually. I always liked that he couldn't really do things with your team unless you used a rock. Seemed more fitting with his character and how he was really only helping you begrudgingly.
I love this comic!
xD!!!!
That is so awesome. I love the subtlety of the clock and everything. xD
