Honestly my feelings are… If they really really were serious… They should have had it released today on the anniversary date or at least some kind of trailer.
This just feels like stalling so gaming journalists can’t criticize square enix to say that Chrono Trigger has been “forgotten”
"Hey what are we doing for Chrono Trigger 30th anniversary?’
“oh shit that was this year??? say we’re uhhh we’re working on lots of things… “multiple projects” yes!”
("God they’re not gonna fuckin ask about Brave Fencer Musashi in 2028 next are they…")
Hopefully they will finally announce some kind of a proper remake. I thought the dragon quest xi engine would have been perfect for it, but I would settle for one of those hd2d things.
Same. Chrono Trigger doesn’t need a remake, it’s perfect as it is. Current squareenix would just add micro transactions, pre order bonuses and deluxe editions to it.
3 times as actually “remastered” others were just ports. PS1, which got anime cutscenes, 3DS or DS I forget, which got added content, and most recently on PC which was just basically a port of the mobile port of the 3DS version but it did have a filter for pixel smoothing and I forget what else.
We also did get 2 albums. The brink of time jazz album and to far away times anniversary album.
Yeah it was pretty bad at release, the smoothing was bad too. Fixed both how it looks and letting you disable it, and some other settings that were weird from what I remember.
Didn’t it also have to change the soundtrack for some of it? It was just like recomposed or whatever but I remember it being something weird for legal reasons.
They’ve done ports like the mobile one that got turned into the steam one, (Which was disparaged due to quality, then significantly improved), but nothing like a ff7 remake or hd2d remaster like dq3.
Apologize for not responding with something useful here. The 30-year part is just ringing in my head. But it makes sense. Notorious BIG was still alive and lawd noes that was a minute ago.
Maybe another album like brink or time, or they’ll rerelease the anime. Lol. Honestly idk. I am stoked for whatever it is but I doubt we get a bunch of new (full) games or movies or etc. in the setting.
I would be down for a dirge of Cerberus type attempt at something new following Janus after he was thrown back in time into becoming magus, or following Glenn & Cyrus chasing after magus pre-frogenning. Doubt we get anything like that tho.

Keep your money-grubbing franchise-destroying philanges off my boy!!!
I don’t know if I want a remake without Toriyama.
You will get a remake in multiple parts that each cost $70 and you will like it, mister! /s
If it’s anything like the FF7 remake, we’ll get some fun porn out of it.

Settle? I’d much prefer these older pixel 2d games in that setting over a full 3d remake.
I’d rather they just make a third game. Especially since they blocked the fan-made one when they hadn’t done anything with the IP for years.

Didn’t they remaster this thing on like 5 different systems?
3 times as actually “remastered” others were just ports. PS1, which got anime cutscenes, 3DS or DS I forget, which got added content, and most recently on PC which was just basically a port of the mobile port of the 3DS version but it did have a filter for pixel smoothing and I forget what else.
We also did get 2 albums. The brink of time jazz album and to far away times anniversary album.
FYI they did an update that essentially fixed the PC version and made it very good, along with the option to disable smoothing.
Yeah it was pretty bad at release, the smoothing was bad too. Fixed both how it looks and letting you disable it, and some other settings that were weird from what I remember.
PlayStation version had anime cutscenes, but the loading for each battle makes it unplayable nowadays

Yeah it was in Mono or something like that

It’s about friggin’ time.

Rip Biggie. Great share, thanks!
While I doubt they’d go as HAM as they did for the FF7 anniversary, which resulted in:
…I do wonder what they mean by multiple projects?

Album seems likely considering how active Mitsuda has been on that with Xenogears lately.
Mobile gacha games!
I hate it that you may be right
So do I, I Can Fist, so do I.
Gonna pull a Konami and make it a god damned pachinko game
I’d be all over an HD 2D remake as long as they keep it faithful, but I’m somewhat wary of anything else current day SE might do.
I’m all for this. The last thing I want is an FF7 style remake.

Square Enix keeps milking that nostalgia.
Which tells you that all creative energy has long since departed the company.
