Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

they will just tag on the same crappy touch functions that FFIII and FFIV have

that most wont use ;p

as far as it being a remake? mmmmm maybe its a sequel or something new entirely, but seeing SEs track record lately, its a good chance its a remake ;p

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

It's an "enhanced port" according to Famitsu. Probably not on the level of the Final Fantasy remakes, more like the Dragon Quest ports.

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

Would rather have a new sequel.

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

Would rather have a new sequel.

After the last sequel, I'm still content to believe Chrono Trigger is the one and only Chrono game.

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

I thought ChronoCross was a great game personally.

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

Chrono Cross was indeed a good game, but I don't like how it fit into the Chrono Trigger world... it basically said that everything you did in Trigger didn't really matter because Lavos never really died.

This brings back memories though -- I thought I had heard of a real CT sequel though, done by Square/SE. This was about 5 years ago or so, though I may well be thinking of some fan sequels I had also heard about at the time.

As far as CT for the DS, I'll probably end up buying a DS solely for this game. It wouldn't be the first time. I've loved CT since the first time I played it... where do you think I got my internet handle from?

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

Chrono Cross was a good game as long as you didn't compare it to Chrono Trigger. To me it was just a game unrelated to any other, and by those standards I enjoyed it immensely!

CT for the DS will be nice. I'm not super excited about it since I've played it on my DS via a rom and just recently played it on my big tv via the Wii. But being the addict that I am, I'll buy it. LOL

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

I for one couldn't be happier. Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite game. Maybe with some luck, this could lead to even bigger things for the series.

[Tickmeoff]

Re: ChronoTrigger DS?

Winrar pretty much. This will be my 4th copy of my favorite game of all time. I've had the PSX remake on my PSP memory stick for quite a while but the load times are disgusting, so this may be made of much win.

Please don't let this be made of fail and aids.
