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.

Incidentally - and I'm just curious, here - but would you consider it one of the better games out there, or is it completely passable?

Because I always considered CT to be one of my personal favorites, if not the "best game ever" kind of deal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Uh, you guys forget that a company can be creative and create new games and do the occasional remake. It's not a mutually-exclusive thing, here. I know that Square Enix overdoes the re-release/remake department, but Christ, those used to be kind of interesting.

As for the news, it makes me want to never support Square Enix again. Seriously, they just keep fucking up worse and worse.

Edit: Well, to be fair, I don't know exactly what is meant by "circle of interest"; the post can be read as "continue to make the shit we've been making" or "stop making that shit and make something the customers want". So I'm gonna shut my fucking trap for right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Have you played TWEWY?
No. I avoided it more or less because I don't read gaming magazines and I saw it held the developer "Square Enix". I'm beginning to think I might have miscalculated, though, considering I just read the comments on the linked article and everyone is going crazy over it.

Square Enix usually sucks, though, so I forgive myself for perhaps overlooking a (possibly) good game. Can you blame me?

Yes, I can, and I will. If you're going to out of hand reject a game just because of the name on the box without viewing any comments, reviews, previews, or videos of the game, then you are a moron. .
Considering their track record is 1 in, like, five years, then being a moron has been working pretty well thus far.

But regardless, you're right. I'll look into the god damn game.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Those screens look exactly the same as the original. I mean, I knew it was a port, but c'mon, couldn't they have at least added a glossier sheen to the goddam graphics!? Oh well.

The second screenshot has words emblazoned over it that reads, "This is... where!?" As if anyone doesn't understand that basic plot of CT these days.

I'm just going to have to agree that it's pretty dumb to avoid a game entirely just because of the developer's name on the box . Honestly, it doesn't take a whole lot of effort (or time) to view an article or two, or a trailer at gametrailers, or even just wait until it's out and check out all the reviews to get a handle on how the game plays..
I've been wondering why I've been crucified about this, and then I realized I didn't make something clear.

I haven't intentionally avoided anything. I didn't slam reviews away because "OH NO SQUARE ENIX". I said I don't regularly read gaming mags, and when I do I tend to glance through them. But sometimes I do read them. Even games I know probably won't be too good (i.e. Kingdom Hearts II) I'll read through, because the name is recognizable and its' not hard to read a few paragraphs of text.

I also want to make clear that I did like FFXII, so I was just saying generically that Square Enix tends to make bad games these days, and the phrases I was using (1 in five years) wasn't meant to be literal (Christ in heaven).

What it was with TWEWY is not that I intentionally avoided it because it was Square Enix but that I guess I completely missed the hype or something because I just saw, "Oh, generic RPG title from Square Enix on the DS". C'MON GUYS. That's not exactly their shining area, the handheld systems. Not to mention the one screenshot I remember (and the image I keep picturing, actually) involved two teenage looking kids with weird zippers.

So I don't have this RABID anti-Square Enix stance. I just saw a game that, in line with all areas (generically bad producer, Nomura-esque characters, DS game) I didn't pay much attention to, though I'll look into it now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Without the incredibly unnecessary effort of going through and completely redoing EVERYTHING, the only option they'd have is one of those incredibly annoying ZSNES filters that the XBLA uses on all their classic games.
I don't really know what you're referencing, here. I was talking about the way FFIV looked on the GBA, you know, with the graphics kind of brighter. Is that what you're talking about?
Hell, just play it now. Fuck Squeenix.
OK.

FELIPE NO

They should have voice overs, but continue to not give Crono any lines. It'd be great to hear the characters have one-lined conversations with him.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I hope there's a sequel coming out in the future, not like the pseudo sequel Chrono Cross.
I don't see how Chrono Cross was a pseudo-sequel.

How ya doing, buddy?
