They haven't specifically announced it yet. They just have a website up with the DS logo and a clock that is identical to the one in the "C" in Chrono Trigger. While it's a good assumption that they're remaking it for the DS, it's not officially announced yet. There's supposed to be an official announcement on what the site means on July 7th. I'm crossing my fingers for a remake

So yesterday I made a thread on my old account discussing pretty much all things Chrono series, and including some speculation on what the website SE has up will be.

http://www.square-enix.co.jp/ctds/

The forums pretty much purged it so why not start new? From what I can see in the scans of the magazine I see original screen shots.. I hope they just used them for the sake of having a few pictures of CT.

I know there is a thread in RPG discussion but let's face it not everyone really steps in there these days and well this definitely warrants it's own thread.

Again: New game or WHY GOD WHY IS THIS ON THE DS? (God: Money, stupid)

I liked the original, and chrono cross had its merits (the lead up to the end not being one of them) but come on SE! Its just past 10 years since you made what many people consider the single greatest RPG ever made, and your just going to fuck it up with gimmicky shit if you remake it for the DS with a shitty extra dungeon and a half ass port. At least keep that stuff where it belongs: the PSP.

to be fair, the FFIV remake looks tight, it seems they went all out with the translation, voice acting, and CS's (Anime CS's anyone?)

But they actually want to sell copies of the game.

"ctds" makes it pretty obvious it's Chrono Trigger

Nice burn lol

I personally can't wait for this, CT holds a special place in my fanboy heart. >.>

[Auspex]

I already sold my DS to buy a 360, now I'm going to need one again. >.<

But they actually want to sell copies of the game.

They'll do that regardless, I mean, they could make a copy with sub par translation, horrible load times, and price it for 40$ and people would buy it.

I think they are trying to attone for that...

I suppose this would be the next best thing to an actual, true sequel.

btw NA website is up now: http://na.square-enix.com/ctds

Amazing that it's announced today and planned to be released by the end of the year, usually SE announces things 4 years ahead of time.

Five years ago I would've been praying for a new CT game, but after all the crap like Children of Mana and FFVII: Dirge of Advent Crisis, I'm thinking we're better off with a pure remake.

[Avé]

Ah, the ticking clock is bringing back so many memories.

[Turambar]

Well they finally did it. Square finally forced me to buy a DS.

[Charismatic]

Well they finally did it. Square finally forced me to download a DS emulator.

yep yep yep

According to the official press release, the game will be basically the same, though with the addition of touch screen functionality (the extent of which has not been made clear yet), a new dungeon and a wireless play mode.

:D

Hope they do something nifty with it.

It's not even close

[Exoduso]

Would've been better on a PSP but this'll have to do I suppose.
