Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii

  HD-2D would be great. Polygonal remake done with care could work. I don’t like the idea of completely changing the gameplay, design, and key plot points one bit though.

    Yeah they can dress it up for sure but please leave the game the same as it’s been for 30 years

      Yeah, if they want to get crazy with creative changes then… hey, make a new Chrono game?

        Yeah, I’d be fine with that. Chrono Cross was great, I loved it.

        Do either of those two, but not both pls

      Honest question: Why would you want a remake/remaster when the original can be played almost anywhere thanks to emulators? Is it just the legal acquisition of the game, or would you want to see some improvements to the game?

        I’m pretty ambivalent, I’ve been pirating it every few years since the 90s. But it would be nice to see younger kids get excited about it.

      I would like to see some tweaks to the combat system. Like timed crits or combo hits or something. Not much, just enough to keep it more engaging.

  I’ve had a great time with Remake and Rebirth. They put a lot more into it than some of the earlier spit-shines on 2D classics, which wouldn’t have worked for a game that was kinda in between generations of art and technique. But they’re really dragging this shit out. And I really don’t need a ChronoTrigger Integrade.

  The franchise and the world have abundant potential. There’s no reason they couldn’t do something really creative and exciting with it. It just feels like the modders already did exactly that, only to have their work thrown in the trash.

    FF7R is great but no remake is worth monopolizing square’s A team for ten years. We could have had 17 and 18 by now.

      That’s more a consequence of the MMOs sucking up all the oxygen. Plus 15 bring fumbled over and over again for nearly a decade.

      But there’s no lack of talent. What SquareEnix lacks is vision and leadership.

        Is it? XIV has its own devteam and they weren’t A-listers at the start.

  I would love a 3D re-imagining, as long as they don’t butcher the story and introduce multiverse timetravel ghosts. Sigh.

    Yeah it’s not the 3D I have issue with lol. Please don’t fuck up the story and make this another fucking kingdom hearts.

    The ds version was 3D

  Curious if the middle ground has a potential win. Example: barely default + octopath + mighty #9. Boost OG soundtrack with real instruments + modern analog synths but no rewrites=just enhance, 2.5D graphics to open the current world and maybe overdue the weapon effects GFX for some “pop”, gameplay stays as is, I wouldn’t mind more dialogue but no rewrites nor removing any current script, make it easier to do multiple endings…… if anything if they want to do anything way different = make it a new ending where game+ is the new game. Everyone wins.

    Honestly I would be happy if they basically made it into a Tales Of game as that’s already got dual/triple techs basically, it’s got overworld vs regular maps. It is very close to what a more modern Chrono Trigger would be. I would rather keep the original battle system but I wouldn’t be too mad. They could add all the little party talking cutscene things like in those to add more stuff without having to go crazy on the story.
