Do I need to play CT to even be able to enjoy Cross?
You're kidding, right?where everything turns out right thanks to the power of friendhip and of never giving up
Posting the collab trailer too, because why not :
I'm tempted to dive back into Another Eden for this collab - I stopped playing after the end of part 1 of the main story , when I was spending weeks grinding that Time Mine special chapter.
Looking forward to see those "Cross vs Trigger" arguments again
At least I would like to see something as pretty as when you run CC with retroarch... it does not seems too challenging to ask for that, I hope.
I hate those cutscenes, I don't think they add anything and the animation is cheap, like a Dragon Ball GT reject episode.The DS version of CT is considered the best for having the PS1 cutscenes, but no loading times.
Doesn't fit in Chrono Cross.They should use the Akira Toriyama art style if they remake it

I just want to do the side stories before starting the Ogre Wars storyline. I won't have the patience to do them otherwise.Anyway, the time mine isn't part of the main story. It's a side story and you don't need to grind it.
Nate The Hate on his podcast is claiming he's heard Chrono Cross Remastered to be a PS5 timed exclusive (timestamp).
23rd of Nov, my work here is done!It was never thought of as an exclusive? I always thought it was meant to be a multiplat, timed exclusive to PlayStation?
Eh? Please stop making CT sound like a certain SQEX game where the word “heart” is repeated 25 times in each cutscene.CT is the kiddie adventure RPG full of shounen tropes and where everything turns out right thanks to the power of friendhip and of never giving up
Ok SE, where the fuck was this announcement? Happening at the game awards my ass.
So the answer is noThematically speaking, I think it's an integral part of the experience, yes.
Let's put it that way : while CT is the kiddie adventure RPG full of shounen tropes and where everything turns out right thanks to the power of friendhip and of never giving up, CC is the young adult counterpart coming-of-age story where even with the best of intentions, you come to learn that the world can be a shitty place and sometimes the best you can manage is a bittersweet ending.
Personally, I love both approachs. I've often said that if a third game should be produced one day, I hope it will focus on an older Gwen, at the twilight of his life, embarking for one last adventure.
What a disappointment this wasn't announced yesterday, at least its existence is pretty much confirmed so it's a matter of time.
If it's somewhat of a timed exclusive for PS5 then I'm sure Sony is holding it close to their chest for their next showcase.
Hmm. Expected better effort coming from all the hype.
EDIT: $19,99
Remake trigger, not cross for fuck sakes.This is the remaster not the remake.
Remake trigger, not cross for fuck sakes.
Who wants a remake of cross?
Unless Square wants to go as big as with the FF7 Remake, then I don't want a Trigger Remake either. Chrono Cross remake is so much easier to not fuck up, and I actually like the game as much as Chrono Trigger.I don't think I'd want to see a remake of Trigger either. It will 'trigger' a lot of people if done poorly. We're already seeing people go crazy over FF7 Remake.
I'd rather see a sequel to Trigger in some way or a whole new entry to the franchise.
Why would they release a remaster and then a remake after that?This is the remaster not the remake.

It's coming at some point, guaranteed.Remake trigger, not cross for fuck sakes.
So Square Enix is using their resources to remaster a game like this to see if remastering a different game would be financially viable? That makes no fucking sense at all.It's coming at some point, guaranteed.
In the meantime, I'll be supporting the team by buying these remakes/remasters, so Square Enix knows for sure that remaking games like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Xenogears would be financially viable.

It looks like Square Enix is only putting in a minimal amount of resources into this Chrono Cross remaster.So Square Enix is using their resources to remaster a game like this to see if remastering a different game would be financially viable? That makes no fucking sense at all.

Does he still think he heard that?Nate The Hate on his podcast is claiming he's heard Chrono Cross Remastered to be a PS5 timed exclusive (timestamp).
Makes no good damn sense and never has. what pisses me off about dragon quest specifically is that it has had several of its games receive several remakes in a short period of time (looks at DQV). You telling me a remake of CT wouldn’t sell more? fuck if it wouldn‘t.It's strange. SE has no problem remaking dq games or mana games.
But trigger? They won't touch that game with a 10 foot pole.
If Square is 'remaking' Chrono Cross, they are throwing money down the drain. Remaster is understandable in the vein of the Saga Frontier remaster, but who is asking for a remake of Chrono Cross?
There is no remake.
Simply the existence of this remaster was leaked by a musician who really likely is not into games so he used the word remake instead of remaster.
According to the nVidia leak that so far has proved to be accurate a FFIX remake might happen and a remaster of FF Tactics might happen as well.
News of a mystery remake was also leaked by folk singer Éabha McMahon (known as Ava) in October, who told Irish radio station WLR FM she had recorded an Irish language theme for the game.
She claimed she had worked with composer Michael McGlynn and his daughter on the theme song. Adding fuel to the rumour, Chrono Cross composer Yasunori Mitsuda tweeted a photo of McGlynn and his daughter.
McGlynn founded the Irish choral group Anúna, who have previously performed music for video games.
Chrono Cross, a sequel to the acclaimed SNES JRPG Chrono Trigger, was released on the PS1 in 1999 in Japan and the US. It never made its way to Europe, so for many a possible remake would finally offer a chance to play it.
There is:
Looks like a Chrono Cross remake may be on the way
UPDATE 30/11/21: A collaboration between Another Eden and Square Enix has been teased.A new teaser website states a cro…www.eurogamer.net
The other part of that article is right for the Remaster.
Chrono Cross is still bought on psn and by a decent amount. SONY has some funding for this. It may be just for timed exclusivity with a PC release or could be multiplatform after a certain time has passed.
It's either a remake outside of the known remaster that is hinted at or another game that Eabha McMahon worked on. Its not Forspoken, its not FF16. And its not FF7R part 2.
Unfortunately I think you're wrong.
Mitsuda has composed a new track for this remaster and the original soundtrack has been refined.
They were talking about the work they did for this remaster and they called it a remake:

You might be right. But then I don't know what else Square has that I've heard thats a remake of an old series/IP then?
Chatter says more FF remakes are on the way not remasters. And Square has green lit a lot of remakes.
I was talking to someone a while back on CG society/Old cg talk site, and they had worked on something contracted by Square that was heavy in its source material.
That's exactly what they did with FFVII.Why would they release a remaster and then a remake after that?
Why would you remake Chrono Trigger? You won't make the game better.Makes no good damn sense and never has. what pisses me off about dragon quest specifically is that it has had several of its games receive several remakes in a short period of time (looks at DQV). You telling me a remake of CT wouldn’t sell more? fuck if it wouldn‘t.
Mana games make even less sense… only 10 people asked for those.
Does he still think he heard that?
I disagree on all points. I think it can be redone without screwing it up. SE themselves has proven it with a handful of their remakes. Examples that come to mind are FF3 and FF4 3D remakes.Why would you remake Chrono Trigger? You won't make the game better.
Chrono Trigger looks exactly how Chrono Trigger should look. You can only screw it up. Same goes for just about every other aspect of the game.
Now, why they don't port it to modern systems? I have no idea.
Does he still think he heard that?
Both outsourced to Matrix Software.I disagree on all points. I think it can be redone without screwing it up. SE themselves has proven it with a handful of their remakes. Examples that come to mind are FF3 and FF4 3D remakes.
Being FFVII, they'll eventually remake it after remaking it, you know.That's exactly what they did with FFVII.
Then you are wrong. Next.I disagree on all points.
