The game itself is mostly unchanged. The graphics are straight from the SNES; the music is as well. There are some changes to the dialog proving that it will be re-translated. Even though Chrono Trigger never suffered from a bad translation, there are definitely some areas that a new translation will be appreciated.
It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.
It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.
A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.
It’s true.
Squaresoft used to be like the equivalent of Naughty Dog back in the day. When you heard Squaresoft was making a game you knew it’d be a banger.
god I miss those days.
Yeah they used to be the best in the industry. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the worst decision they ever made. While they had previously talked about merging with Enix, that film flopping so hard left them with no other option.
@porkChop
My understanding is that merger was happening before the film and the flop of the film freaked them out because they thought Enix would call it off.
I personally wish Square Pictures was a success. I thought the Matrix shirt they did was cool and they were pushing computer animation into a more mature realm.
Unfortunately, Spirits Within noted many and wasn’t the FF movie a lot of fans wanted. I thought it was decent, but something like Advent Children should’ve been the direction they went.
To me, Naughty Dog is now Naughtycucks.p after that god awful story in LoU 2.
It was people like Yasumi Matsuno that held it for me, at Squaresoft. The company thought them too radical and ran them out. And now they yearn for people like that. They’re short sighted and pathetic.
Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.
The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
A well deserved remake for one of the greatest game of all time.
its not even a remake.
Looking forward to seeing how hard the new dungeon will be. If there are any RPG fans with a DS who never got to experience this game should pick this up.
This is terrible. Import and copypasta job. In their top 3 titles, next to Final Fantasy VII, and you just port SNES game to DS. sad.
if you have American cable, youre missing out on Avatar: The last airbender on nickolodean.
1 Hour left so hurry!
