In 1995, developer Square assembled a "Dream Team" of artists featuring the creators of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy, to make a new game. The game this collaboration brought to fruition was Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo. Soon a new generation of gamers will have a chance to play the time traveling RPG on their DS.
Chrono Trigger sends players on a journey both forwards and backwards through time as the silent protagonist, Crono. Crono is swept into the adventure when his friend Marle is mistakenly sent back in time while testing a teleportation machine. Ultimately Crono and his band of friends will find themselves on a quest to save the world.
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.
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.
