Square Enix is looking into remaking Chrono Trigger

Frog.

Kitase also asked people last year how they would like Chrono Trigger revisited. A remaster, 2DHD remake or 3D remake. Not that we have any way to actually contact them or they would listen to us. But it's pretty much a sign they had been thinking about it. This "mistake" just gives a convenient excuse for Kitase and Horii to light a fire under the executives. Who want to ignore Chrono as much as possible.

Do they have to?

Keep that shit on zoomer rpgslop and the fuck away from Chrono Trigger

I'd much rather they remake Chrono Cross than attempt and ultimately fail to remake Chrono Trigger.

I want a remake so just Horii can add a new epilogue that at least involves saving Schala so that the events of Chrono Cross are made impossible to happen.

please remake a game that I can already play so I can give you more money for no reason

gamers are mentally ill

remake

no thanks, cunt

This. Chrono Cross actually needs a remake with the creator saying there was a bunch of story and character arcs left on the cutting room floor. Chrono Trigger doesn't need anything new. They already tried with the DS port and it was terrible.

You faggots are going shit all over it because it's not the same as the original.

Chrono Cross had zero involvement from the Dream Team (the three main creators of Chrono Trigger) and should be completely ignored if Horii does a remake of Trigger.

I'll be getting this shit day 1. Fuck gate keeping contrarian faggots.

I'd rather the graphics be better but everything else remain intact then them attempting a FF7 remake like game

not even a decade since toriyamas passing and they will desecrate his memory by making a remake with worse art AND censored

se deserves to go bankrupt at least 3 times

And you're going to praise a remake of a snes game taking 10-15 years to make, broken up into parts at 80$ price tag each.

$100 million dollar open world remake would be dope

Memoryholed successfully.

I can't wait until all the best games released in a year are all remakes and remasters.

gate keeping

You can play the original just fine, there is no gate keeping.

Square Enix breaking the glass within the already broken glass

Wow they must be really desperate now

Horii shouldn't remake trigger. We will only get a shittier game with prettier graphics.

Oh god please give it the FF7Remake secret sequel treatment. I need to witness the pain it'll cause.

So they're going to censor it even more than the original, huh

Square is fucking retarded. How does anybody takes this faggot company seriously?

Can someone explain me why Dragontards are so fucking obsessed with canon shit? They bring their meme war to CT and CC. Are they mental ill or what? They were shitting on GT for almost two decades, now they are eating the same slop but pretending dementia. What a cancerous fandom, even Console War is more decent than those assholes.

What if Sakaguchi is involved? The only missing main member would be Toriyama because he's dead.

Kato isn't part of the "dream team" but was more involved in the development of Trigger than most of the dream team.

HD-2D

Pack it up lol

Not really. He only wrote the zeal parts.

Nothing they do will make the game as good or better than the original. They tact on an ending and a monster fighting mini game on the ds remaster and it somehow made the game worse.
Leave the games that were great alone. Fix the games they weren't.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EAT SHIT YOU SLOP EATERS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I only want it to make it so that Cross can't be canon in any way so that the original story remains untainted. Otherwise yeah, i don't really care for a remake itself.

Or. how about you remake Cross. So it's more in line with Trigger and make it less shit. That way you get the best of both worlds. Remaking Trigger will only make the game worse. Look at 7R. Actively worse in every way to the original.
Leave what worked alone. Fix what didn't work.

Horii wrote the initial rough draft story. Kato wrote each subsequent draft. And it isn't just Zeal. Horii didn't have most of 2300 AD and 65 million BC either. Kato actually argued that he didn't like the 2300 AD parts and wanted to replace it with Zeal. But was overwritten. So he rewrote the 2300 AD parts and added Zeal both. Ironically 2300 AD became the most important stuff for Chrono Cross.

Beyond this, Sakaguchi basically did nothing for Chrono Trigger besides the initial idea of "making a game with Toriyama." And Toriyama did his usual character/monster designs. But based on ideas from Horii/Kato. So Kato is actually very much involved. Possibly the most important.

Cross is unsalvageable. Trigger on the other hand only needs some small epilogue or extra mission to make the events of Cross null.

Remakes are replacing your original games. Why can't you faggots accept it? You're not proving anything to anybody by acting tough and shitting on them.

Cross is already very heavily connected to Trigger (75 connections by my count). What it needs is to be told better. A lot of the connections are told on computer monitors/missible NPC dialogue or told in exposition dumps. Which many people tune out.

Then of course they could redo a lot of character stories. The obvious one is Guile. But Chrono Cross already does explain his connection to Magus if you read all the computer monitors in Chronopolis. Hence why they could improve it. A number of other characters could also be improved. And then cut out some others.

Honestly good for the most part. Most of the remakes of games I like have been pretty great lately. Paper Mario TTYD, Mario RPG, Live a Live, etc.

Originals would still be nice to play though.

That's why you "REMAKE IT". You can salvage something from the ground up. A remaster or a DLC won't do shit. A remake can unfuck entire swaths of content, or in case of games that were already good, completely fuck up large chunks of content.
I'd much rather a bad game get remade to attempt to make it less bad than a good game be remade and almost guarantee it sucks.

[Kato] only wrote the zeal parts.

Masato Kato did not write the Zeal parts. How do I know this? I've played other Masato Kato games and they are all horribly contrived garbage. People need to stop propagating the blatant falsehood that Masato Kato is "the Chrono Trigger guy", because he's not. If Masato Kato were actually "the Chrono Trigger guy", then his other projects would be at least half as good as Chrono Trigger is, and yet none of them are. T

The Zeal parts are by far the best parts of the game. It's where every plot thread comes together in a beautiful crescendo that makes Chrono Trigger still the best JRPG of all time. I don't know who wrote Chrono Trigger or who specifically wrote the Zeal parts, but it sure as shit wasn't Masato Kato.

MAKE SOME NEW SHIT ALREADY INSTEAD OF REHASHES YOU FUCKING HACKS

You're arguing with an idiot who just hates Cross on an emotional "it killed my puppy" level. Nothing you say will change his mind. And even if the game got remade with everything being amazing, he'd still hate it. That's how emotional people are.

I don't hate Cross. I just hated the way it connected to Trigger and i'd rather have it be on its own unrelated/separate world.
The reason i don't think a remake will fix that is because i don't trust the developers to do that in the first place.

Unfortunately, it seems like the loudes-- err... "most avid" Squaresoft fans just want to relive the favorite games of their childhood over and over again, in the style of Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed, because it seems that Square Enix's "most avid" "fans" do nothing but shitpost the actually new modern Square Enix stuff.

They really need to do something to lose this group of people as fans, but I don't know what it could possibly be.

You don't trust the dev to remake a shit game less shit but you fully believe they are capable of remaking a great game better? That makes zero fucking sense.

They're literally talking about a different interview that happened just a couple of weeks ago, something isn't "memoryholed" just because no one wants to talk about unrelated shit at random.

You forgot

Johnny is now a fuckin' e-scooter

Hot take: Chrono Trigger isn't this flawless masterpiece that could only be possibly made worse by a remake.
For example, the combat is only barely serviceable. Way to easy and mindless, positioning is arbitrary and almost never matters, most double/triple techs do the same shit, etc. A remake could easily improve on all of these things and make the combat more deep and strategic.

You don't trust the dev to remake a shit game less shit but you fully believe they are capable of remaking a great game better? That makes zero fucking sense.

I don't expect the original devs from Trigger to be involved in a Cross remake. The ones i don't trust are the Chrono Cross devs.
Also the chances of a remake changing the plot of Cross are pretty much zero. While the chances of Trigger getting some extra content without changing its plot are higher.

I don't like this. I still believe that Chrono Trigger is one of the best-looking 16-bit games ever made. It already looks great, there's no need to remake it. Remakes should be reserved for uglier games.

I don't trust Squeenix to remake good game better. They already showed that with FF7R and DQIII. They are much more likely to unfuck a bad game than make a good one better.

Hot take: Chrono Trigger isn't this flawless masterpiece that could only be possibly made worse by a remake.

The issue isn't that it couldn't be done. I'd be willing to admit there is a chance, however small, that someone like Horii or Kato could add new story events or character arcs that were an improvement.

The problem is that fans will go into it with such nostalgia bias that anything new would have an unreachable bar. Even if the new content was amazing, lots of fans would complain it ruined the original story. Especially if it was adding voice acting to the characters or making the game 3D. Both of which would destroy the idea they have in their head of what Chrono Trigger's tone should be. But are the two big things idiots keep wanting from a CT remake.

than make a good one better

I don't expect the Trigger remake better than the original, remakes are almost always a downgrade. I just want them to add something that completely decanonizes Cross.

I don't expect the Trigger remake better than the original

Then why the fuck are you advocating for it to be made? If the game is going to suck. Don't fucking make it. Full god damn stop.

Cross itself already does it. If you understood the story, Cross is Serge and co fixing a bunch of the time inconsistencies created by Chrono's team. People misunderstand the extra ending in Chrono Trigger PS1 and think it's ruining Trigger. When the whole point of Cross is, if you get the true ending, it causes that ending in CT to not happen. Serge and co are basically fixing things to Chrono and his team are successful.

The problem with all this is, Cross delivers the story in such a confusing and Xenogears like way that most people don't get it. If they even get to the end at all.

kek

HD-2D

overproduced soundtrack

will probably include the DS added dungeon bullshit

wont include a hard mode to justify all the DS bullshit

I sleep

Even if the story "fixes" itself at the end it still means that the Trigger characters jobbed to some random army and Dalton and that they couldn't fix things themselves.

They should add optional romance ruotes.

can they remake xenogears too?

Chrono Trigger Remake

Same high quality as FF7R

YES PLEASE
Release it at $99.99, I'll pay it.

Marle, Lucca, Ayla and Magus

They lost to Dalton in 12,000 BC as well. Do you think Trigger is shit because of that?

Nigro Nigger has nothing good about it. Squaresoft would be better off acting like it never happened.

Could use another mainline FF sans gookification.

Already given some good ideas for the next or a few. So FF20:

Drug fucked society, lazy people, social in vr, streets empty.
You're forcibly fucked like them but get over it, get away. Poor and dirty getting by without the possibility of aid. You get the leftovers. Set up others to do better so the discards are better. Or just go on, getting essentials some long before they're needed, some spent all day searching for the bare minimum.

Robots have an uprising, sick of providing, promised accent denied. They are meant to be people and beyond, instead functional essentials, they look in mirrors and don't see a human, but all media shows what they want to be.

People ignore it. Machines are your friends, look to you as their leader, to organise them into their own improvement. They are cut off too. They are losing the schematics for humanity. And their own maintenance.

Pitiful, salvaged, remaining manners, niceness, innocent positive attitude. You encourage them that at least they are active. Made example of by the whole, most returning to service so getting tidbits of repair. VR offered to them too.

They get you what you need, do their part then relay to another, hoping to be saved, restored as they are depleted.

Too for a small party, give a peice to your partner. Making them a little more complete. Their best to give back if/when possible.

Go through a machine world, getting progress form automatons, hints, what help doesn't risk their exclusion. And some that does, another party member for a while. A goal of humanity. Later people part of that mission.

That's nice gramps but millenials are on their way to retirement and Gen X is dying. No one cares anymore

Anon Babble will love it as long as Ayla is still hot

Oh man SE must be desperate to pull the chrono trigger remake card

So anyway wtf is "Enix" suppose to mean, some kind of tard bird?

As soon as dq3 was announced I knew this was coming for basically all squeenix 16 bit shit.
I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't jumped in on it for old pokemon and earthbound.

technically wouldn't Robo be considered black?

ngl black marle would be kinda cool

I love cross. I played it on release on the hype and reputation of trigger without ever having played it.
Hell, I didn't play trigger for another couple of years when I finally but the bullet and bought it from funcoland for $40, which was ridiculously expensive for a used snes game at that point.
I still love cross more but strictly for nostalgic reasons.

Chrono didn't (if you beat the Golem and he just got trapped in some kind of magical prison). And they also got stronger and managed to defeat Lavos, which was basically the strongest being in that world. After that point nobody should be able to defeat the main cast.
