Hopefully though, this Chrono Trigger port will show SE that the series is still popular and they might give the old Chrono team a break and let them work on a sequel.

That's the one. I remember hearing about it a few years back, but I'd pretty much given up hope on it a long time ago. Who knows though, this could change thing.

As for those of you who've never played Chrono Trigger.....coooome oooooon. You should be forced to play that game before you're allowed to play any other rpg.

Ooh, that's pretty cool. I've always wanted to play Chrono Trigger, but never got around to downloading / playing any ROMs of it or anything, so if it's ported to the DS I can finally play on it ^^

Ok this is my favorite video game of all time so I am definently excited.

Though I would have rather seen a remake for the Wii I'll definently take a DS remake

And I won't even mind the chibi graphics that the Wii will probably give us because

realistic looking Chrono Trigger graphics = FAIL XD

I've played the game twice and I still fail to see why people fap furiously to this game. It's definitely an RPG that should be played, but I just don't see what makes it so insanely great. Supposedly it's the characters, and I've seen better...supposedly it's the story as well, and let's be honest, it's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book. It's hard to make a very in-depth storyline when you have 13 or so endings.

But don't misunderstand me, it is a good RPG and anyone who hasn't played it should. I just think it's a bit over-hyped.

They'd just look like Dragon Quest, and the last time I checked, Dragon Quest had nice cell-shaded graphics. How exactly would they fail?

I've played games I've liked better than Chrono Trigger, but I still think it's a must play. Maybe I only think like that because it was one of the first rpg's I ever played though. It kind of set the standard for me. In any case, I think it blows most current and recent rpg's out of the water. (Notice that I said most. I can think of a few out now that rival or trump it. Persona 3 not the least of them.) I think Chrono Trigger's best quality is it's replay value. I love games you can play over and over without ever getting bored of it. Probably why I'm such a big Cave Story fanboy. I played Chrono Trigger on the snes when it first came out, and I still play through it every now and then.

Cause considering the current craze in Japan, they'd all look emo

I was just thinking the other day about how they should've make chrono trigger for GBA, even better for DS. I kind of hope they dont completely redo the graphics, because I enjoy the linear-ism of the 2D graphics. When I play FFIII for the DS i say to myself wow this is taking way to long. But CT's creators hopefully would do a better job remaking it than FFIII's did with that game. But this is all saying that it is even going to be a remake, I would be perfectly fine with a port with something cool maybe the menu or a map or bigger battle screens on the opposite screen.

One of Chrono's original main draws was indeed the characters because it was really one of the first RPG that used sidequests to further develop the characters. Even in a lot of current popular titles they forget to do this.

But, yeah, Prince Vegeta's got the right of it graphics-wise...Akira Toriyama's art style translates beautifully into 3D (cell shading)...there's Dragon Quest VIII (& the upcoming DQIX), the DBZ Boudokai game series, and Blue Dragon.

Japan are still kinda huge on Toriyama's art style and since Chrono Trigger is very much linked to them I would imagine they'd still go with that style. Which can only be a good thing.

I thought it was announced to be a port with added content and the ever-present double screen/stylus controls chucked in and not a full remake, has that not been 100% confirmed yet?

I'd prefer a perfect port over a remake personally.

It's been confirmed as an "enhanced port," which means it'll be along the lines of the GBA FFs. There's a new dungeon, and some dual screen talk going on, but not much in the way of a graphical overhaul.
