GWN Preview: Chrono Trigger

GWN reports:

''Unlike the full-blown 3D remake treatment that Square-Enix has been giving the Final Fantasy series on the DS, Chrono Trigger is for the most part completely unchanged. There are rumors circulating of a new translation, but the build on the E3 show floor featured the original dialogue with only a few minor changes. Although you can now enter names longer than five characters, worry not - the main character's name is still named Crono, not the more logical "Chrono".

The graphics have also not been altered, but despite being thirteen years old they look anything but outdated. In fact, they look better than ever: between the crispness of the DS's two screens and their small physical size, the game looks far better on the DS than the original SNES title does on my TV.

Given that the game featured some of the best spritework on the Super NES, it comes as no surprise that no updating was required to make the DS version look utterly gorgeous. Other than perhaps a few more frames of animation or updated 3D spell effects, I really couldn't ask for anything more from Chrono Trigger's visuals. The animated cut scenes from the Playstation release of the game were absent from the build I played, but I am told that they will be included in the final release.''

A remake or even a modern port would do since it is one of the best games all time. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I first played it

It's on Steam, don't think they'll have another port unless it's a remake.

Yasunori Mitsuda is a talented composer I love the music both from Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. I will always enjoy Nobuo Uematsu as well. I would love to have seen the Chrono Trigger concert live.

Can you announce a Chrono Trigger remaster or something and stop pretending you don't have millions of people that would buy it day 1? Morons.

A pixel remaster would be most welcome, especially with the option to choose between the SNES and DS translations.

Knightofelemia176d ago

3 more years and Xenogears will be 30. I would love to see Chrono Trigger get the FFVII treatment.

gold_drake176d ago

thats not up to them unfortunately

the people who have ownership over toriyamas art style are very very stingy and difficult to work with

gold_drake176d ago

the game is dying on steam
