It'd be nice if they made it 3-d like FFIII and IV. That'll probably be next, though.

Okay, now that Chrono Trigger has been announced, could they do the Star Ocean PSP ports next?

It's too bad Chrono Trigger never had any anime based on it. With the epic, era-spanning storyline, they could've made dozens of episodes, with Toriyama's character designs and that great music score that I can still remember after these 13 years. Now, you may think that there was a Chrono Trigger anime, but trust me, there wasn't.

Yay!
Now I want a FFVI remake with 3D graphics.

Zalis: Yeah, SQ'Enix seems to spurn anime fans, even though it uses their shows for reference. That's why it took so long to get a tolerable FF adaptation like Advent Children. But then, I've been waiting for a Zelda anime and a Zero from Mega Man anime, too.
Sharingan: That'll probably be next. Sharingan: That'll be next. |

Please shut up. There was a Chrono Trigger anime. Whether you want to believe it or not, there is an Chrono Trigger anime OAV. It's widely distributed and pretty easy to find online if one bothers to look. It was a one shot OAV, and does certainly exist. Therefore you're wrong. Although I see what you're trying to say, here. Too bad, it's a load of crap. An anime OAV is still an anime. No stupid, fanboyish, geeky, self-centered notions of what is or isn't "canon" does absolutely nothing to change the fact that there is an OAV . I don't know how you find the connection between "Discontinuity" and a real OAV of Chrono Trigger that exists, or your completly inaccurate description of what an "anime" is, but your dead wrong. You're going to sit here and try and base facts on your pointless semantics of what is or isn't a "true" anime based on some stupid notion of canon or you simply don't like the fact that it was a one shot. That's absolutely pointless, makes zero sense, and you frankly, haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about. "anime" doesn't mean series. It can mean one-shot OAV. And that's what the Chrono Trigger anime was. The end. Get your facts right, spare everyone your geeky and ludicrous semantics of "Discontinuity" and other various imaginary fanboy crap when there's an OAV that exists right under your nose, or just don't talk at all. This absolute nonsense that a Chrono Trigger anime OAV wasn't an "anime" simply because it was a gag anime for VHS years ago is the kind of idiot fanboy talk that sickens me to my core. This kind of stupidity is the very kind of thing that invalidates any kind of opinion you might ever try to come up with in the future, when you have to make up stupidity like this, to deny the existence of something that is absolutely and completly real. Bloody idiot fanboys pretending that something doesn't "exist" just because you don't seem to like it. This is the kind of thing that makes the anime community 89% failure.

Truly one of, if not the, best video games of all time. I wonder how they plan to incorporate DS's features, though, if at all. Even if it was just a straight port, I'd look forward to playing it.

Hmm, there seems to be an error in the press release.
Chrono Trigger is unarguably classic, to be sure, but it's quite the opposite of "timeless"... |

Step 1) Relax. Step 2) Realize that the over-the-top reaction that you just demonstrated is another reason that people dislike the anime fandom. So he didn't like the anime and wishes it was never made. So what? He was being sarcastic about it. Kind of like when a video game is really REALLY bad and people are like "Huh? What game are you talking about...I know of no such game..." etc. He was communicating his own opinion about the Chrono Trigger anime and how he felt that it was so far from a justified representation of the game that it doesn't even deserve to be acknowledged as ever being produced. Granted freedom of speech pretty much just guarantees your right to make a fool out of yourself (i.e: you can say whatever you want but be prepared for counter-arguments) I don't feel that the points you made were very legitimate, not to mention they were so drenched in anger that it was hard to take any of it seriously. In any case, don't stress out so much. Again, Thanks you various gods. I can't wait to see this game on the DS.

Someone took Zalis's post a little too seriously...
This made me happy. Even better, they don't appear to be giving it mediocre 3D like FF3 and FF4.
If they want to a 3D remake as a PS3/Xbox download or maybe even PSP, then fine. I'd prefer a 2D remake with higher resolution sprites, but whatever. But on DS? Keep it 2D or follow what the Dragon Quest games are doing. Keep that sub-par 3D away from my beloved FF6. |

I know I'm the only one who would ever say anything like this...
...but if they want to do this right, then they won't touch it. Honestly, I don't want Square-Enix messing with Chrono Trigger. The original staff doesn't even work with Square anymore. It's kinda the same reason why I didn't like Advent Children. It didn't really have the same loving feel that I received from the original game. Personal opinion, of course, not to say that I'm right and anyone else is wrong. Anyway, all I'm saying is that I will ONLY buy CT DS if next to nothing has been altered. It has to be nostalgia, the way I remember it, just portable. Some touch screen functionality? Okay. On extra dungeon? Not so bad. But they need to just not mess with the art, the presentation of the material, or the music. If I know that's the case, I will buy it. |

It sounds like they won't be changing much. An extra dungeon, touch screen functionality and maybe some sort of wireless function... but the rest will be pretty much just as you remember it, though presumably with a new translation. |

From the sound of that they won't be doing much for getting paid another 40-50 or whatever they are charging for the game.
I am all for remakes of old games, but they need to actually do a complete remake similar to what we see for movie remakes. Now sometimes those turn out bad (when they are done poorly, with little care and concern), but sometimes they turn out well. With games it should be even better. There are a lot of unanswered questions in these games. They could allow so much more in terms of actual roleplaying and gameplay options. Actual conversations and choices, no more "silent hero" stuff that was done because games were a smalltime thing then. I think there is enough good in some of the older games I'd like to see DQ3 or FFVI or CT redone with newer graphics and newer gameplay. And the music could use some overhaul as well. I'm a big fan of the ocremix community. The music can be made a lot better than the old midi stuff that was used back in that time period. I think it's sad they choose instead just to re-release the same games for a different system, which is why I would just buy a gp2x (or a pandora) and play the games on an snes/genesis emulator. |

It would be pretty funny if they used "Team Gato" or "Spekkio's Beach Party" in the DS version. |
