But oh! This is the INTERNET. People making money are frowned upon. Forgive me, I forgot, I should be demonizing Square for rereleasing a game on a system that kids ages 10-14 are almost guaranteed to have. Forgive me for wanting a new generation of kids that age to have the same experience with CT that I did at my age. The experience that got me addicted to JRPGs in the first place.

I'm sorry, I forgot that children today are not allowed to play OUR games, because they're OURS and they're SACRED. We have to give them watered down rehashes like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, stand there approvingly, and go "Do you like it? Well, if you like it, then spend some money on a SNES and buy Crono Trigger! It's only good on the SNES!"

Jesus christ, it's like Scientology. Make you feel like shit, and propose that the way to not feel like shit is, in turn, a real cheap but obviously incomplete first day, then progressively more expensive and more mentally demanding days, until you're a giant useless lump of shit that gets molded by whatever God Atlus tells you to do, blindly blathering on to anyone who'll listen about how your religion genre is without letting anybody find out for themselves without paying the ridiculous gobs of cash that you did.

Fuck you, Tom Cruise.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Stop trying to come up with ways to dodge the fact that you want S-E to do with Radical Dreamers the exact same thing you're getting mad at them for doing with Chrono Trigger.

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

Your point is entirely valid, but I think the reason people are getting up in arms with this particular remake is because of this maddening expectation that Square-Enix was going to continue a series that never sold well beyond the first installment. They made Chrono Cross, and while that game was pretty good, it sold like dicks on Herpes Lane. Can you blame them for going back to the original?

Have you played TWEWY?

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.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fully of the view that Square-Enix dips into its own well a few too many times and sometimes shits in the well and tries to present a shiny turd as if it were amazing just because it has that temporary gloss from the "good water" (see, incidentally, the PS1 port of Chrono Trigger). I am too proud of this runon sentence to change it. Bite me, grammar nazis.

But that doesn't exclude anything they ever do from being good just by default.

I recall seeing that, while it sold well here, it actually sold a lot less than expected in Japan. Also, thank you for quoting that post, I meant to say "pretty good" rather than "really good".

I was speaking idiomatically.

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 may be in the minority on this, but those filters make the game look WORSE. I'd rather not see a spit shine done on this, I'll take either the original graphics or a complete remake. And a complete remake of a really old game probably isn't worth the effort.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, the GBA port was actually a port from the Neo Geo Pocket Color version, which WAS a complete re-art, if you get my drift.

My thinking is that they're not going to go through the effort of redoing the art for the game at this stage, and they're just going to port it. I was basically saying that the only option outside of that would be to put one of those filters on if you REALLY insisted on having some sort of graphical improvement. I just think those things make everything worse, myself.

Actually, other RPGs have tried that, and it just comes off as incredibly awkward.

FELIPE NO

They just need to come up with Eternal Millennial Fair. I spent so goddamn long on that shit every time I played, that shit was FUCKING AWESOME.

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

I recall reading in a different preview that he's still officially translated as Crono.

Ah, here it is.

Quote:

Crono (yes, he's still officially Crono, not Chrono) and company can be guided about with the stylus or with the D-pad.

Crono and his crew who've set up their newest invention, considering Lucca singlehandedly made the damn teleporter and the game tells you as much, demonstrates a lack of comprehension of the plot. I'd take his usage of the name Chrono as him forgetting how it was spelled and looking at the title for reference.

This is IGN, after all.

Also, this quote does a good job of demonstrating lack of prior knowledge.

Quote:

Apparently, Chrono Trigger is a Very Big Deal Indeed.

No. Shit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh, SHIT.

That actually kind of worries me; how are they going to keep the profile on a SNES port smack dab in the middle of Christmas season?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Can we pretty please implement the SA forum's scheme of banning people for posts like that pretty please

I am woefully offtopic but wow... just wow posts make my blood boil

Chrono Trigger remake adds a little Pokemon

This is totally not what Chrono Trigger needed. I'm all for adding little flairs to a remake, but adding Pokemon to like Chrono Trigger is like... adding Pokemon to Chrono Trigger. Seriously. Chrono Trigger is JUST FINE. Add a map on the touch screen, add a dungeon, but for god's sake leave the gameplay alone.

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

You watch, it'll just be the ending where Glenn becomes human except he porks Magus in the ultimate act of forgiveness/fanservice.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think he's trying to point out that of all the things to hope they do in the remake that that's a pretty bad one to hope for.
