I think I'd like the 2D-HD style. Only to still hold true to the original art design, while also making it look fresh and new.

This is the only way I'd want it.

 

[Jigsaah]

I know, we'd prefer new games, but we also know how devs/pubs are lazy these days and prefer the quick buck remaster/remake over being creative for themselves. End of rant.

So how would you like Chrono Trigger remade? Remaster of the original just in 4k/60fps? That 2D-HD style? Full on remake with 3D models?

I think I'd like the 2D-HD style. Only to still hold true to the original art design, while also making it look fresh and new.

I think a proper turn based 2 and a half D style like Octopath Traveler would be amazing and I would buy day one.

 

[Evil Calvin]

2D-HD if anything…if not, then just release this shit on current consoles with some QOL updates. Can't believe this hasn't happened yet, just proves how out of touch Squeenix is.

And no, the Steam release doesn't count.

....and also, where are the re-releases/remaster of Parasite Eve and Vagrant Story.......and how about Einhander and Brave Fencer Mushashi?

 

[El Hee-Ho]

I know. How about a game built for "modern audiences"...
I present to you... Chrono Triggered!

The Day of Lavos can't come soon enough.

[keefged4]

I'd rather they didn't.

100%…I don't get why they are sitting on so many of these franchises.

 

[Zannegan]

Honestly, the only way to remake it that would be true to the spirit and intent of the original would be a F2P extraction shooter by a Chinese studio with partial funding from Saudi Arabia and $40K mounts that's a timed exclusive for the Steam Machine...

- 2D
- Hand Draw with the same Toriyama Style
- Maintain the same View
- Don't fkng touch anything.
- Then release Chrono Break

 

[Sorcerer]

Make it 3 parts, that span a decade of releases, at least 2 console generations, plus mini-games, 100's of mini-games across the 3 parts of the games.

Parasite Eve might be a licensing issue. I just checked up on it and read that the 1st game is actually a sequel to a Parasite Eve novel. So,there is more to the story than what was presented in game apparently.
I once read that Madonna held the film rights to Parasite Eve. Probably false though.

Man, this would look amazing in today graphics If done right.

Think its time to play this again, does Switch have a version of this game on their SNES emulator ?

 

[Knightime_X]

Can make it 3d, but stick extremely close to source writing material.
I'm ok with expanding the maps so it looks more natural and intended. ie lush deep woods, full expansive view of a post apocalyptic future, and a sense of actually being there.
I know some people out there hate real time combat, but I am all for it.
I used to seriously love turn based, but I can't do it anymore. it's too slow and boring for me now.
I really enjoyed Star Ocean 2's combat system. The remake.

Sadly not. Steam is the only platform with a legit version to play but it's the mobile version iirc.

 

[IDKFA]

Yes.

That is what you call a remake. Full 3D. Realistic graphics. RT combat. A-list actor voice acting and an open-world formula.

That is a remake.

2.5HD remake would also be nice, but it'd just be a lick of paint upgrade.

 

[Icymanipulator]

If it has to be done then the options are

1 - 3D but cell shaded in Toriyamas style.
2 - HD2D but needs to keep the proportions of the original intact.

Regardless of which way the original game should be included. Additionally, in the case of a remake and not a remaster there should be an option to play the original game exactly as it is with the graphical "update"


Edit.

Absolutely fucking NO.

This FF7 remake style trash is not the way.

 

[Ozzie666]

You can't top perfection. Any remake will just be a step backwards. As others have stated, just release it as is. As much as I enjoyed the FF pixel remasters, the originals still better.

Nah, thats just gatekeeping, Mana séries did great with some remake and DQ7 its looking really good, It can be done and its not even that hard, dont touch the story, put some qol on the battles system and focus on Akira art style for the graphics and we ll have a banger.

Ppl can always play the original on Android/PC or SNES.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Make it like this Dragon Quest 7 Remake. We already have enough HD2D games from Square in the pipeline.

 

[Gambit2483]

My EXACT thought!

 

[Hoddi]

I care way less about the graphics than the musical score. As long as it looks okay on a 4k screen then I won't care.

But that music was god-tier and I'm not sure it would sound better with an orchestra. Just remix the music with more channels and throw on a CRT filter and that would be more than enough for me.

 

[Myths]

DQVIII

 

[CashPrizes]

Would be pretty cool if it was a co-development between SquareEnix and Arc System Works. They could use their guilty gear/Dragon Ball Z Fighters engine and use that to animate everything, cell shaded Akira Toriyama perfection.

 

[Durin]

HD-2D or 3D cel-shading that looks as good as Guilty Gear Strive.

If you can't do either, not worth doing it at all.
