Square Enix interested to know how fans would like Chrono Trigger to be remade

It's so painfully obvious such masterpieces aren't being made anymore. They just don't create timeless classics anymore, let alone timeless franchises which will last for decades. Sure, same goes for movies, music etc.. but it's so sad.
As someone said, if you’re gonna do endless remakes focus on early 3D games that could really benefit from it.
I’d add - try remaking bad or average games to MAKE THEM BETTER, rather than purely for the sake of improved graphics.
There have been film remakes that have been better than their not very good originals. Try that.

Woah, that all sounds very original. Can’t wait for it to look like every other game.

Dunno why they are asking this question now that I think about it considering they shut down that fan project over a decade ago. Remember CT Resurrection?
I stand by my previous post if they do a game in the DQ/DBZ style then they have a winner. However I think if they are fishing for interest then they have no creativity or ideas for unique RPGs left.
In all honesty they are probably trying to see if they can copy paste the FFVIIR battle system and slap it on Chrono series.

It depends on the budget.
They could go for the 2.5D HD look like Octopath Travelers for a medium effort remake.
For something AAA they could do something like Dragon Quest XI, art style is similar.
But they haven't even released the original on modern consoles....they could start with a pixel perfect version of that.

What would you have? An isometric sprite RPG? Where have I seen that before
You people won’t stop until every game is a third person, over the shoulder, action game with super expensive graphics.

I dunno, I find Chrono Trigger’s combat so mind numbing that I’ve failed my 5-6 attempts at replaying it over the last couple decades. Remake it with Ys style combat and it might actually be fun to play.

Simple - art style similar to Sand land + gameplay similar to FF7R but with more dual and triple techs.

I wouldn't mind just getting a pixel remaster style version. The FF games are great.

We had the technology for good looking Akira Toriyama 3D even on the PS1.
Would Chrono Cross have been improved if it had graphics / character designs like that? Doubtful but it would at least give slightly more consistency.
I value accuracy to the original artwork more than anything else. If the character models looked like this Smash mod I would be fine with it.

That's the right answer.
Full 3D would take 10 years, with purely Japanese elements that would look bad if they were more realistic.
Japanese stories work so well in games like Live a Live or Star Ocean, because they retain that retro charm.
As much as I love FF7, with the remake there are clearly some awkward moments when it's taken out of the box.

Yeah, I think FFVII being what it is has a good fit for the full on Remake.That's the right answer.

The older titles would be much better served by the more modern, but still “cartoony” looking 2D-HD remake style.
Star Ocean 2 was done superbly and I would love to see that for Chrono, Xenogears and FFVI.

I mean full ff7 remake/rebirth style but it'll never happen.

If they were going to the trouble of doing a full 3d remake I would rather them just make a sequel to cross/trigger.
If they do a remake the 2.5hd style would be awesome with basically no changes to the game, it doesn’t need any.

If they could actually replicate the art style instead of just making more homogeneous hyper realism… that’d be nice.

Make it first person then.
I actually think first person would be really interesting for a remake, but the problem with that viewpoint is the combat wouldn't be as dynamic.
It'd be a real remake then.

The first one is inquiring about interest to remake in the first place, the second about style of execution if decided to do so.

Down with Octopath style pixel + 3D. Definitely don’t want them to go down the SF2HD route - worst looking, worst animating remake of all time.

Full FF7R style remake, but staying true to the turn based battle system and with art style like DQ11.

I wouldn't mind it in the style of Dragon Quest XI. Keep the battle system the same, while using the "classic" battle camera in DQXI.
Chrono Trigger still slams in its original state so there isn't a need, but a 2DHD remake like they're doing with DQIII would also be sweet.

Given that Chrono is about time travel and what they did with the FF7R script with all that "breaking the chains of destiny" Kingdoms Heart bullshit, today's Square would definitely screw this one.
At max a remaster like Tactics Ogre: Reborn, without changing a single line on the script. Chrono has an almost perfect pace.

Make a good port available on all platforms and then fuck off.
