For years fans of Chrono Trigger have been waiting for a return of their beloved series. What they're getting now, unfortunately, is not a new episode but another remake of the original installment, that was already re-released on PlayStation in 1999. Unlike other ports of popular Square Enix titles that have been hitting the DS lately, this one is not a remake with additional features but an (almost) straight adaptation of the original SNES title.
The development team decided to retain the old 16-bit graphics, without any facelift, while keeping the animated cut-scenes that were designed by popular manga author Akira Toriyama and added to the PlayStation version.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
Unannounced Chrono Trigger Formism figures were spotted at a 30th Anniversary concert, fueling renewed speculation following Square Enix’s earlier anniversary plans.
Square Enix reveals Chrono Trigger: Melodies That Resonate Across Time, an orchestral album featuring ten classic tracks performed at the 30th anniversary concert in Tokyo.
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
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.
