Yes. Lavos will be rendered by the DS as a massive polygonal mess. So looking forward to it. =D

Man I freaked out when I saw the SE teaser page.

It's exciting, but not that exciting. Even if a port, Chrono Trigger was generally one of the better games, and not a game that they have re-released to death (only to near-death) so at least we can appreciate it.

Or, maybe they'll redo it in that god-awful "3D" mess, have a hit JPOP star do a single, and include scenes with Serge to "connect" to Chrono Cross.

Also, if Chrono Trigger is getting released, I'm sure we'll see Super Mario RPG for sure.

Okay. Why?

If it's the PSX version then they're already there. Not with Serge, but Lucca finding Kid as a baby.

Any enhancement of Chrono Trigger will probably have to flesh out Schala as more pivotal character, seeing as how she was pasted on to the final boss of the sequel :p

Our world of creators don't seem to be very creative.

I fucking just got goosebumps. :D

Stop asking questions, you bumblefuck. You're not enlightened like the Evenstar and the answers will come only when we need to know them. Carry on.

This really is the sort of thing i hold out for in terms of video gaming. I would be alot more excited about this if it weren't for all the Dragon Quest remakes coming around, and the Final Fantasy remakes etc. I'm always hoping that the Chrono series in general will get a revival, but it looks like this is just another "Hay guyz, this game made lots of money then, let's do it again" thing.

Oh well, i'll probably still buy it.

So fucking preordered.

Definitely rather excited for this. I'm not quite as massive a CT fan as some other people, but I did really enjoy the game when I got around to playing it on ROMs a fair few years back. So yeah, hopefully a remake is heading to the DS.

Figured I'd just throw in the press release link since it hasn't been posted here yet: CHRONO TRIGGER Returns! The Timeless Classic Teleports to Nintendo DS This Holiday Season: Financial News - Yahoo! Finance *whomp whomp official*

• brand new dungeon
• wireless play
• hey, the DS has two screens
• and you can touch it

Holiday aka Christmas season 2008. Yay.

Hahah!!! lol. I mean I just never thought CT would be re-released for DS. And since Nintendo was also behind SMRPG, don't you think that is possible now more than ever?

As a VC release, yes, as its scheduled for Japan.

Comparing it to
 

Now this is what I'm talking about! =D
A port that takes advantage of both screens and keeps the original graphics intact.
Zippers nowhere in sight is an additional plus.
I just can't wait!
Surely, this bodes well for another Chrono title in the future.
!*(&%^ing fantastic! =))))

It's keeping the original graphics intact? No update at all? Alright Square, if you can give us this:



And this:



Then why the fuck can you not give us THIS?!



Maybe not in that good of quality, but it seems that Square-Enix only cares about giving special treatment to its Final Fantasy titles. Honestly, I hope Square releases some screenshots that prove the original graphics rumor false.

Hey, it's not going to stop me from buying this game but it's sad that fans of the game put more effort into fan-made Chrono games than Square does into its own.

Frankly, if Square HAD to update the graphics to Chrono Trigger, I'd rather they not emulate the look of Final Fantasy 3 and 4 DS.

To be fair the in-game graphics of the original FF3 and 4 were chibi-esque. Chrono Trigger was not and I wouldn't expect them to do that big headed style.

It would have been pretty sweet if they had been able to capture Amano's artstyle though. That would definitely take a lot of work.

True, I'll give you both that. I was just expecting a little more than touch screen support. I have no clue what they have in store for wireless, though.

With a port to the DS, I really don't care about any graphical polish. It's a port.

If they were doing a remake and it were for the DS, yeah, I'd be butt hurt. Why? Because I'd want the game on a freaking console.

Wonder if they'll FINALLY release the damn thing in Europe.

I mean... It's the best damn game they ever made. And what happens? It NEVER got released over here. NEVER. Not Trigger, not the PS1 Port, not Cross.
And this one again has just a US / JP date. Up to know of course, but given the (inexistant) history of the series over here, that doesn't bode well.

A) No it isn't.

B) Import.
