The classic time-traveling RPG is reborn.
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.

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.
Watching this trailers brings back old memories. Ah Chrono Trigger. One of my favs.
Think Ill just dust of my old SNES again.
Don't screw up my childhood... Pleeeease don't screw up my childhood...
it's a shame that Square-Enix are just, from what the trailer looks like, porting the Snes version over the DS.
Surely they could of made it into 3D like the Fan-made Chrono Trigger project that they put a halt to. It's obviously why they did that now!!
Oh well, it's better than nothing I suppose!!
It looks like its a port rather than a remake. I hope I'm wrong.
That music is timeless (hehehe), have all the soundtracks and the Brink of Time arranged album and it never gets old. What happened to instantly memorable RPG music like that?
