ChronoTrigger DS: What I want it to be
ParaParaKing | 3:43 AM on 07.03.2008 12 comments


Chrono Trigger has a very special place in my heart. It was one of the games I imported for my Super Nintendo and I played it for weeks and months over and over again. I did every subquest in the game and saw every ending in the game and that was before you went and checked out a FAQ on the internet how to get all the endings. (So there was a bit of trial and error there.) I remember clearly how I got the fast ending you get by defeating the final boss right at the beginning of the game with only Chrono and I could "speak" with all the programmers and stuff. The story of the game had so many classic moments and so great characters.

I also loved Chrono Cross with it's countless characters and fantastic story. The opening sequence is one of my favorite video game moments ever.

The announcement of a Chrono Trigger remake for the DS surprised me and part of me is very happy about it, but I'm also really scared, that S-E could fuck it up.

What I want:
Graphics:
I want 2D graphics in Chrono Trigger DS. If they could just clean up the graphics a bit and perhaps add some new effects and animations in battle, that would be more than enough for me. Also if they changed my beloved 2D sprites to 3D models I would feel really alienated.

Gameplay:
They should add some new moves per character. The battle system of Chrono Trigger is really great, but the small amount of moves per character is kind of limiting. We also need TripleTechs for every party combination and bonus equipable TripleTechs. Also the menu system isn't very good compared to today's standards, so they should update that too.

Extras:
I want more subquests and a bonus dungeon. Also add some more endings in there, because you can never have enough of those. I don't want additional characters, because they would feel tacked on with the rather small amount of original characters. But I do want more story for the original characters.

If it's a remake of CT, I wouldn't mind hints here and there and endings that lead to and give more information towards Chrono Cross.

At first CC seems disconnected from CT, but it's really not. If only there was more in CT to lend itself to CC.

I don't want 3D either. Its the main reason why I won't buy FFIV for the DS. I'm just not digging the new 3D look for that game at all.

Don't want it to be anything, then you won't be disappointed when it's not what you hoped.

I'm undecided on 2D vs. 3D; my only fear is that 3D will cause Akira "All My Characters Look The Same" Toriyama to go nuts like he did in Dragon Quest 8 and live up to the fake nickname I gave him.

As for the bonus dungeon, though, you're in luck! I read somewhere that that's in. Maybe the press release?

I've read it's coming out this holiday season, that probably means that its basically a straight port of the SNES game, 2D and all. I don't imagine they've been able to produce a 3D remake and keep it under wraps for so long, right up until release. You'd think they'd hype the shit outta this...

@Sysiphusrock: There will be endings that lead into Chrono Cross if it's a port of the PSX version. They added extra endings into that one to specifically tie in with Chrono Cross.

I'm certain that it'll be 3D. Each remake they've done has been, so what would make them behave any differently with Crono Trigger? The added Techs would be nice though, and there will be an additional dungeon in the game.

I thought the 2d was confirmed??? I think the only 3d style I would accept is in vein of DQIV. Looks gorgeous, but 2d is just too perfect. I agree that I could go for some nicer effects in battle maybe some smoother animation/more animations. All changes I want though are superficial. The core is perfect and I'm buying it regardless.

Guys...they already confirmed that it's a straight port with a new dungeon tacked on. It's not a remake. Nothing is changing.
