Because living up to the sprite work and charm of the original is a herculean task.

I mean game still looks great just like secret of mana (no idea why the remade secret of mana).
FFiv -vi also have fine graphics . 8 &9 too.
7 was really the ugly duckling of the franchise hence the remake

Some guy once attempted to make a 3D remake of at least the early part of the game but he got shut down by Square-Enix.

The screenshots he posted look pretty damn impressive.

I actually think we might see some of these games remade in the Octopath Traveler style. Combines 3D aspects while still keeping the 2D aesthetic, they are already working on Dragon Quest 3 in that style.

That looks amazing!

Known if any of the devs behind this canned project went on to do anything else?

Unless you're loaded, save your money, and wait for sales. This isn't the 90's anymore, and most games don't become hard to find. And don't pre-order.

Could be a licensing issue or some other legal reason.

I'm sure its a lot of issues. Some are probably interest in the series and others could just be the company not wanting to do it.

This seems pretty likely too.

If you can remake Secret of Mana, and Trials of Mana, you can remake Chrono Trigger.

I'd love to play a Chrono Trigger remake made on the Trials of Mana engine. Just have a different team write the script, and hire quality voice actors, and voice directors.

They probably have reasons. Consider how a bunch of people love the game, theres probably a reason why they cant actually make it. Or else, they probably would have already But I dont have the actual reason. Youd have to ask the people in charge

Not necessarily Like it could be a licensing issue like BUMPED2002 said earlier Just because you can remake one doesnt mean you can remake the others. And honestly, they may not know what kind of remake people may want, which could also cause problems

It's weird how absolute trash the Secret of Mana remake is and how excellent the Trials of Mana remake is

This. If they can find a way to re-release it as just a SNES mini with Chrono Trigger on it, that would be the only way to do it justice.

The remake will be worse than the original, and I could not live with that.
It doesn't help that we have that abomination FFVII "Remake".

Also as always:

There's a lot of game that I love to see remade and get to play again "for the first time", but after the disaster that was Final Fantasy 7, I think I'll stick with the original.

Well, it probably doesn't need to be done, since people are more or less happy with it as is, even people playing it for the first time twenty years after the fact rarely make the graphics out to be a huge down point.

There also isn't much incentive for them to do it at the moment. Square Enix seems to only re-release or remake games after making a huge point about how tenuous their situation is. If Final Fantasy VII was a last resort option, Chrono Trigger is probably the same.

They also probably know that no matter what they do they're not going to make people happy. If they go too big it'll come off like Final Fantasy VII Remake, if they don't do enough it'll be like Secret of Mana. Where is the middle ground? What do fans want? My guess is no one is asking for this per se so much as they want accessibility, and you already have that in the form of the DS and Steam ports. Any remake they could do would serve more to water the game down more likely than not, or change it in a way that alienates the fandom. So why do more than just provide access to a classic?

They could do a completely weirdness and have the game not be a remake, but a retelling - like Back to the Future 2, they have to time travel to make sure their own efforts aren't undone by another time traveller

Maybe they could remake Chrono Cross. I love that game, but it was definitely a mess.

Unfortunately to make it less of a mess a remake would be incredibly reductive. The plot of Chrono Cross is nothing short of contrived (and I say this as someone who has affection for it) There really isn't enough meat to make a game if you cut it down to what it's all really about.
