It’s a wonderful, beautiful, and intelligent game that probably would have alienated some RPG fans at the time of its release even if it wasn’t also the spiritual follow-up to one of the most beloved games ever made. For years, many of those who didn’t get the chance to play Chrono Cross have had to rely on other people’s impressions and many of those impressions have been negative or complicated due to the visceral reaction a lot of people had to it.Ĭhrono Cross is more than that, though. There’s no way to “officially” play it on most modern platforms, which really feeds into the idea that it was this game that was so embarrassing that Square Enix has tried to bury it (despite the overwhelming critical praise the title received at the time of its release). More importantly, Chrono Cross remains an elusive game. If you’re the kind of person who simply refuses to play Chrono Trigger because of its graphics or lack of voice acting, that’s very much a “you” problem rather than something that Square Enix needs to address. Everything about that game has just aged so remarkably well.
#CHRONO TRIGGER REMAKE 3D FULL#
Of course, that’s all the more reason why Chrono Cross deserves a remake over Chrono Trigger.Ĭhrono Trigger is pretty much a perfect game, and while I wish that its recent ports weren’t so terrible, I’d be very hesitant to see a full remake of the title or an updated version of it that changes pretty much everything. There are quite a few gamers who still feel burned by Chrono Cross for the simple reason that they went into it expecting a Chrono Trigger sequel and got something else entirely. Ever since its release, fans have knocked it for being weird, complicated, and, most importantly of all, nowhere near Chrono Trigger in terms of its gameplay, story, or characters. Not only is it a true classic in every sense of the word, but some of its disappointing recent ports have left many fans swearing that the best way to play the game is to hunt down one of the original SNES copies (which can often be quite expensive).Ĭhrono Cross, on the other hand, has always been a divisive game.

In a way, I understand the “outrage.” Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest RPGs ever made (I recently called it the best RPG ever made). However, what I find to be most interesting about these rumors at the moment is the fact that quite a few people are frustrated by the very idea that Chrono Cross would get a remake or remaster over Chrono Trigger.

There’s no definitive proof that Square Enix is working on a Chrono Cross remake or remaster, and there’s no confirmation regarding which platforms that eventual project may be released on.

Look, all of that information is obviously pretty far from confirmation.
