The latest on this is that he never said anything about it, and it was all the interpreter.
Too bad I can’t pin your comment on Lemmy. I would have if I could.
Per Gematsu (and others by now, I’m sure).
Not going to get my hopes up till an official announcement.
The best remakes of ChronoTrigger were killed by vindictive SquareEnix litigators a decade ago.
I’m not holding my breath on an FF7Remake treatment on these terms.
I’d much rather they don’t FF7 it.
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
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.
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
I was hoping Cross was the start of turning it into a larger series… and I will defend that game to the end of my days because it’s really very good. Living up to Chrono Trigger is obviously a tall order, but I’m overall really happy with Cross and would like to see more games.
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.
No remake is worth monopolizing square’s A team for ten years imo. We could have had 17 and 18 by now.
That’s more a consequence of the MMOs sucking up all the oxygen. Plus 15 being 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? 11 is on maintenance mode. 14 has its own devteam and they weren’t A-listers at the start.
14 crashed and burned until they brought in the A-Team to reboot it.
I’d say that had a much bigger impact on Dev cycle than a successful release on the first try with 7Remake.
If nothing else, successful releases produce more talented Devs, while failures burn them. And that gets us back to 15, which was an outright dumpster fire.
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.
RIP Crimson Echoes…was that even finished?
No, but it was very close.
I believe there’s a playable version somewhere.
That is… interesting
This is the only game I’d pay 60$ on release date.
The source of this claim is very sketchy (a reddit post that gives the vibes of ‘yo guys i heard gaben at a conference say 3 look its his photo’), but I really hope it’s an actual thing.
I’m excited to see if they turn it into a FPS or a Sokoban-type game, since we learned from FF7R that apparently you can radically change the core gameplay mechanic but still call your game a “remake” somehow
I think you just described “remake” hence the “remake” name.

I’d rather see Chrono Break revived.
Break has such huge shoes to fill, I honestly don’t know if Square Enix could pull it off.
As long as it has low probability of bricking your playthrough it’ll do fine.
Seemingly.
