Would you trust Square-Enix with a Chrono Trigger remake?


I doubt they'd ever do one but if this was announced would you have high hopes or no hopes that it would be good?

Everything about CT's charm was in its minimalism and perfect pace.

Japanese anime and storytelling has becoming incredibly dramatic and over the top in recent years. Especially in terms of forced cuteness, drama, big moments, all supported by blasting OST's with dramatic chord progressions.

Absolutely nothing about the current Square Enix suggests to me they could even remotely capture the basic themes of CT

No because they would make it a stupid hack and slash ARPG. Especially since the DS remake did not sell well

They would probably ruin it by making it like a seven part, non-turn based game.

No, and on top of that I don't think CT is really a game that needs a remake. It's basically the quintessential SNES JRPG, and was perfect for its time and place.

If they stuck with something that resembles modern Dragon Quest visual wise maybe it would turn out okay but I'd still be skeptical. I think they'd overthink it.

But getting their modern interpretation of the OST would be worth it even if the game sucked lol

If you actively lived through an era of the FF13 trilogy, FF15, and saw the trailer for Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, you would know the answer is a resounding "Fuck no".

Nomura would probably take the cast of Chrono Trigger, dress them up in a combination of skin tighter leather and raggedy cloths, change the universe into a series of grey wastelands, censor the women or straight up replace them with men, retcon Magus into a chef with a british accent, and have Crono running around like a dipshit screaming "I'm here to kill Lavos".

Square is a dumpster fire. It would be an absolute train wreck if they tried to remake CT.

The art for the Trials of Mana remake is great, but the change to 3D made the game significantly worse, cause you're still using a very basic combat scheme, it's just longer and slower now.

If it's a proper remake like ff7, yes. If it's a fresh coat of paint with no major changes to the narrative making it worth playing then no. It's like Jay Z once said :

"Hov' on that new shit, n****s like "How come?/"
N****s want my old shit, buy my old albums/
N****s stuck on stupid, I gotta keep it movin'/
N****s make the same shit, me I make The Blueprint/"

Stop asking for the same shit. If you want the old shit, okay then play the old shit. I want something new that actually might push the series forward even if it ends up not working out, I'm not looking to keep buying the shit we already have, what would be the fucking point?

It's almost as if the whole point of a remake is not for it to be a completely different game. What you clearly want is something more akin to a direct sequel

A remake is a different game, what your referring to is a remaster.

Sure. I'd be hoping they change it just as much as the FF7 remake.

I feel like getting Chrono Trigger in one game is less of a dilemma than FFVII. Modifying existing locations for each time period makes it not as crazy I think.

But it's Square-Enix. They already did some pretty big tonal shifts for the game tying it to Chrono Cross.

I'd be interested to see it tbh.

As long as they don't censor Ayla.

If we're talking an FF4 style remake, sure, but knowing modern-day Squeenix, they'd likely take it more in the FF7 remake direction, so no.

They couldn't even do a simple retranslation without sucking most of the life out of the dialogue, so...

you guys are way too attached to original plots, the essence of the game are its characters and music, this is whats amazing about FF7R imo, chrono trigger could be a lot of fun if they remade it in the same way square has done FF7

Imagine saying people are "way too attached to the plots"... like, that's the shining trait of most RPGs my guy.

They didn't censor her in the DS version.

They just fucked up the DS version in other ways.
