    I guess it would be similar to the *Trials of Mana* remake from a while back.

    I’d much rather see it done in the HD 2D style like LIVE A LIVE.

    I always hated this picture, Marle casting fire sword smh, she uses ice magic brah.

  4. SocializingLurker

    I would love to see it in the “2D-HD” art style of Octopath Traveler.

  5. MyTwinDream

    I mean sure why not. For the sake of fun, make it the most modern looking version of a dragon quest game in terms of graphics.
    The music would have to be equally perfect as well.

    I’d buy it day 1.

  6. Square seems absolutely determined to do nothing with this IP for some reason

  7. UnnamedPlayer32

    Can we just get the PC port on other platforms

  8. Afroknight2614

    I would either be down for HD-2D remake or I would love to see something like Dragon Ball FighterZ for the art style.

  9. Exciting_Lecture_774

    No. Chrono Trigger looks the way it’s supposed to look.

  10. DankDaddyDotCom

    I would probably pay full price if it were in the Nintendo store and not remastered

  11. Cream-of-Mushrooom

    Maybe they can do it in Unreal Engine and it can be a generic looking game with no style like everything else

  12. dandaman1983

    I seriously don’t get why we can’t get this game on the switch.

    I legitimately think it would lose some of it’s magic. Not even for nostalgia reasons, I just think there’s a timelessness about the way the game was made that would be lost with big cinematics, etc.

    As others have said though a 2D HD game would slap. 

  14. Paddlesons

    It would just be that cheap bullshit flash anime style, no fuckin thanks

  15. Daleabbo

    They wouldnt stop with the graphics and they would slaughter the combat and make it action RPG not turn based.

    That’s a pass from me…

  16. Munchy2k

    Only if Akira Toriyama does the art direction again

  17. Forsaken-Dog4902

    I imagined it and all I could think was how I just wanted to play the OG version.

  18. Doesn’t need one. Chrono Cross with a fixed story pacing on the other hand….

  19. Xerio_the_Herio

    Nintendo/Square won’t touch this… too much riding on one title. Everyone loves it (just like Tactics). The consequences if they fuck up is too great. The sky will come falling down.

  20. There’s only 3 styles I could accept a remake of this in,

    * PS1 style with pre-rendered backgrounds

    * HD Pixel remaster

    * 3D art leaning heavily into the Akira Toriyama style

  21. Hiddenshadows57

    I think a remake would be entertaining if Akira Toriyama did all the art.

  22. Grave_Knight

    Considering S-E is going to “modernize” Dragon Quest, nah. Also I rather have the 2d pixel art.

  23. Chrononi

    Dragon quest 11 is an example of how it could look, considering those characters are also from Toriyama. 

    If they ever make a full remake, I’d hope for a complete revamp a la ff7. Just upgrading the graphics a bit is just not worth it, game looks great as is 

  24. PartitioFan

    team asano (octopath guys) chrono trigger remake would be cool. they made live a live look absolutely gorgeous

  25. Extension-Badger-958

    It would look similar to the dbz games. Unless you’re trying to recreate toriyama’s art style in unreal engine 5 lol

  26. TheBobDoleExperience

    Some games are better left alone.

  27. ClaudeGriswold

    If you need to scratch the secret of mana or chronotrigger itch, try Sea of Stars. Soooo good.

  28. As was said in Amadeus, “add or remove any note, and there would be diminishment.”

    Chrono Trigger is special because everything about it comes together perfectly. That’s including graphics, audio, story, and arguably even the wonky translation. Render everything in modern 3D graphics and you lose 90% of the charm present in the sprites and their animations, not to mention the beautiful backgrounds. Remaster the OST and you fundamentally change the feel of the game. Change anything about the story to lengthen or expand it, and you lose the pitch-perfect pacing of the original narrative along with its energy.

    It’s a fool errand. I’m normally not a purist when it comes to this kind of thing, but Chrono Trigger is an exception because the game is just exceptional in every way I can think of.

  29. Dragaylia

    Toriyama’s style in Remake’s style is going to look nightmarish

  30. The_Sturk

    I disagree. The game is perfect as it is. It honestly doesn’t need a remake

  31. Koctopuz

    If they used like Sea of Stars or Octopath Traveler 2 style graphics, I’d be all for it.
