Unlike Dragonquest, which Videolamer grudgingly gave a "go buy it if you're bored," they can't endorse Chrono Trigger on the DS enough. It's well recognized as one of the best games EVARRR, but they are pleased that they played it as an adult, and not a kid, so that they could fully appreciate the way an RPG should be designed and played.
Why are you still here? You should be out buying it already.
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.
With one or two extra scenes.
This is the epitome of lazy development. And don't give me that: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it line."
They fixed up the DS Final Fantasy ports without ruining the storyline, if anything, the additional cut-scenes, voice-work and visual updates ENHANCED the experience.
These reviews seem to be nothing but 30 y/o gamers (like myself), waxing poetic over a classic game.
Sure it's a decent title, one of the best of it's time. A time 14 years ago. Things change, they EVOLVE. Or at least they should. What's next, a straight PS1 port of FF7 for the PS3 with a $70 price-tag?
A little more effort would have been nice.
