Why remake perfection?
I wouldn’t hate the pixel treatment the FF games got. I am playing through FF1 and have the other 5 on tap. I played the intro to FF6 and the changes are a real QOL improvement.
Completely agree with this. I played through all FF Pixel Remasters and it was great. Would love a Chrono Trigger Pixel Remaster so I don’t have to bust out an emulator when I want to play it again.
None of the re releases or remasters can give me the dose of true nostalgia known as vanish-doom. Every game ever should have a definitive version that won’t need emulation though.
There’s already a Chrono trigger remake with the original graphics on steam. It has FMV scenes and the controls are kind of shit so it’s not exactly like the pixel remasters but you don’t need an emulator
It would be super cool if they release an anime series like Ys 1&2 have.
Add that as a DLC and increase resolution of sprites and increase bitrate of music and call it a day. I’d buy that.
Too bad the art direction in Pixel Remasters is so inconsistent and garbage.
I would love to have the same story but more fleshed out appropriate to the character. Add way more exploration of the eras. Maybe a couple more playable characters that are already established in the game like Schala or Azala or one of the gurus in their younger form.
Because a huge group of current gamers weren’t born yet back then.
Release it as is. (DS version)
It’s already on Steam. It’s on PSN. It’s probably on Xbox and switch, too. It works just fine. There is absolutely no reason to remake this.

Then just release one of those… again!
But for fuck sake replace the reptite village they added in the DS version with something enjoyable. One of the most tedious sequences I’ve ever suffered through.
Money.
A different, coherent story, better art (not pixel), more challenging gameplay.
Try to keep some of the same feelings. Keep it menu based. Keep it isometric.
Invest in writers and art. The gameplay doesn’t need to be complicated.

They did what they could with 90s technology, and it was amazing at the time. If they could have done it in Studio Ghibli style, they would have.
We have more opportunities now with better technology, but we keep aiming at the wrong things. We don’t need a 3d, first person world. We don’t need more arpgs, and we don’t need pixel art.
Show 30 years of improvement in the parts that made it strong originally.
I’m absolutely a fan. I just don’t think it is the pinnacle of what can be done now.
An actual turn-based system for slow idiots like me
That was a setting option if I’m not crazy
What would “chrono” refer to if not the combat system? They’d have to title the remake “Trigger.” Abominable.
The time travel?
A minor plot point. Barely even mentioned.
Can’t tell if you’re trolling but I’m fairly certain it’s the entire plot point of the freaking game
Nah.
As a person who is bad at reading sarcasm on the internet, this is sarcasm. It’s pretty funny too ^^
Well, the main character’s name is Crono, so they could just drop the h.
In that case, people would mistakenly believe the game is about tending fields and rightfully choose Stardew Valley. An insurmountable problem.
Easy solution, add some fields to tend.
You risk denying Robo his shrine.
Make a different game? Stop remaking shit. Make a new story.
This. There’s already half a dozen Chrono trigger remakes. I want a sequel. And no, Chrono cross isn’t good enough.
I’m not a 2D purist. Quite the opposite actually. But Chrono Trigger really feels perfect for 2D. Kinda like Golden Sun. Like, you could try. But why?
It’s like trying to cook a tender well done steak. Like you can if you want. Some people might say they prefer it that way. But the truth that if you want it tender, you should have just ordered it rare or medium rare.
It would depend on the skill of the team doing it. A lot of people are praising the FF7 remake even though the gameplay is completely different because of not only how it builds upon and unites all the lore that exists, but how it expands it and subverts expections, and it can only do this when it isn’t just a remake cash grab.
What I want in a Chrono Trigger remake is rather than asking us, asking the original visionaries that created it what they would want to add into it if they created it today, and to put in the effort into making and ensuring that vision works out.
This is what I came here looking for.
I remember being so hyped for this… And then it got C&D’d
I’d like nintendo to not have a single scrap to do with it.
Square made Chrono Trigger. Nintendo didn’t have anything to do with it in the first place.

oh I know. I just don’t want nintendo to get their paws on it again.
chrono trigger was a game developed by a fantastic supergroup of talented individuals. it’s still my favorite rpg all these years later because of that effort and skill.
just… please don’t put it on switch. please.
If they make this a full game they can take my money.
I remember the PS1 version when it came out with the animated cutscenes and loving it as simple, sparse, and incomplete as they were. The game was no different but there were bonus little scenes. That worked for me.
So I would love to see animated renderings based on the actual playthrough doing the things you did and how you did them in the game.
As these remakes and such come out I have been able to reflect on what more I would have wanted back in 1995. And today all I want would be the memory of what my choices were my first playthrough. Or any one after that really. I’d love just about any data at all on them, to get saved somehow.
Show me what the final timeline looks like with all my gameplay choices. Render important scenes with every combination of party member using things they used in the run.
I’d love the shit out of that.
TBH, I feel that widescreen and all the DS content will be sufficient. If it must be in 3D, maybe a Octopath Traveler like 3D Design.

Call up Toriyama-san
Hate to break it to you, but he passed away a few days before you made this comment.
Make. Crono. Talk.
But srsly, moar side quests. Connect and collab with fan-made 3D remake people.
If they are gonna do it they should really do it properly like with FFVII remake/rebirth
Art-wise if this were to be made I’d like to see water color artwork. No pixel perfect or whatever the FF games came out as. Make it a cool looking art style in proper HD 2D.
Toriyama ain’t that old. Chuck an absurd amount of money his way and let his company run wild with it. Id get behind that all day.
I remember the chrono resurrection, I would want something like that. I srill hate Square for killing that. They could have worked with that team a released that game for that generation, and I think it was a 1 to 1 recreation.
