Hopefully they will finally announce some kind of a proper remake. I thought the dragon quest xi engine would have been perfect for it, but I would settle for one of those hd2d things.

I'd rather they just make a third game. Especially since they blocked the fan-made one when they hadn't done anything with the IP for years.

Same. Chrono Trigger doesn't need a remake, it's perfect as it is. Current squareenix would just add micro transactions, pre order bonuses and deluxe editions to it.

Settle? I'd much prefer these older pixel 2d games in that setting over a full 3d remake.

Didn't they remaster this thing on like 5 different systems?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

3 times as actually “remastered” others were just ports. PS1, which got anime cutscenes, 3DS or DS I forget, which got added content, and most recently on PC which was just basically a port of the mobile port of the 3DS version but it did have a filter for pixel smoothing and I forget what else.

We also did get 2 albums. The brink of time jazz album and to far away times anniversary album.

PlayStation version had anime cutscenes, but the loading for each battle makes it unplayable nowadays

Didn’t it also have to change the soundtrack for some of it? It was just like recomposed or whatever but I remember it being something weird for legal reasons.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah it was in Mono or something like that

FYI they did an update that essentially fixed the PC version and made it very good, along with the option to disable smoothing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah it was pretty bad at release, the smoothing was bad too. Fixed both how it looks and letting you disable it, and some other settings that were weird from what I remember.

They've done ports like the mobile one that got turned into the steam one, (Which was disparaged due to quality, then significantly improved), but nothing like a ff7 remake or hd2d remaster like dq3.
