Thanks for taking up 95% of my vertical screen real-estate...

 

[CockroachMan]

Maybe I'll play this and actually finish it this time. I played it on the PS1 and loved it but got to a trial and was found guilty and had to break out and ended up having to fight some kind of machine on a bridge and could never beat it. How far in was I?

Not very.

Around 5% of the game XP

 

[Trolly]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! Lol, this is awesome. An official confirmation right out of the blue, kinda strange. How come they didn't announce it at E3 instead?!

Anyway, that's unbelievable, only problem being it'll probably be 2 years until it actually reaches American shores (didn't even bother mentioning Europe there). I guess I have the SNES version to complete in the mean time!

So, uh... anyone have any ideas how to get that working as a desktop for a Mac? (hopefully w/out installing anything... since i'm doing this at work

)

best i could find is this: http://www.soft32.com/download_213606.html
a mac equivalent of vital desktop.
but i don't know if the screensaver file is mac-compatible.

 

[Ferrariman]

OMFG OMFG OMFG OMFG IM GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

SOMEBOY PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS HAPPENINNG.

This is happening

I'm against a graphical remake, I felt that the game was beautiful and perfect as it is. I'd still like to see how they will do this, but I don't see the point, just stick it on VC instead or maybe a RPG classic compilation for DS which will have this and a couple of other Square/Enix titles.

But I guess that SE want mega moneys.

Oh well its not like I don't have the original anyway.

No better resolution?

 

[WeaponXxX]

Meh.
I can already play it for free. On DS. On PSP. Shit, I'm wouldn't be surprised if there was a SNES emulator on iPod.
Maybe if they shat out a proper SEQUEL for once? Not like the shit-infested chrono cross, pleeeease.

Sorry, but squeenix won't get my money anymore. RELEASE NEW FUCKING GAMES, GODDAMMIT.

Almost EVERY new Square game I played (especially on the PS2) blew hard. And with their to turn based games policy I'd hate to see a sequel as it would probably follow their new policy. Bottom line is I loved Square in the SNES days with their great story telling and terrific game play but I never really care for their new stuff and while FFIII was disappointing in terms of just leveling up, I am extremly hyped over FFIV and Chrono Trigger as these were two of my favorite games of all time.

None better at the moment, until someone provides better scans (this one looks like it was snapped with a digital camera). Famitsu is supposed to provide some info this week (according to rumors).

I still think I can see a transparent text box in that teleporter screenshot.

 

[Satangel]

DSFanboy has some more news:

They claim it will be in North-America this Holiday season.

 

[granville]

So it's confirmed to be the same (but slightly enhanced) game!

 

[Master Mo]

I`m very disappointed seeing, that this project doesn`t get the "love" FFIV is getting with its Remake/Port.

But it is still a great game and anybody who hasn`t experienced it yet will now have the chance to do so...

Awesome. Thanks for the update CMan.

I'm really, really excited for the re-vamped version.

Should be one hell of a Holiday season!

 

[Eternal Myst]

Fuck it people.
Don't pirate this game.
Support Square and buy the game.
It's going to be grand.

 

[Hiratai]

Fuck it people.
Don't pirate this game.
Support Square and buy the fucking game.

Why support them, they have enough money as is. It's not like they are some 3rd party company.

 

[kevenka]

I can't wait!!!but isn't this remake being done a bit too quickly? I mean...a classic like this has to be done and represented in a good way...not a slap on.

 

[Ferrariman]

I can't wait!!!but isn't this remake being done a bit too quickly? I mean...a classic like this has to be done and represented in a good way...not a slap on.

I doubt it. SE have most likely been working on this for a while now, and I would worry about quality. SE are polished mother fuckers

 

[jos7960]

Not exactly a straight port, then, but also not a dramatic remake.

Touchscreen support, wireless play.
God yes, ill buy this, just to let Square see that more classics should be rereleased like this.

 

[Vater Unser]

Just don't think of it as a remake, because it isn't...
Also, would the crappy 3D capabilities of the DS do a Chrono Trigger remake justice? No fucking way.

 

[Hadrian]

Well Square Enix themselves that its "remastered exclusively for the Nintendo DS", so that is like say when movies and music are remastered. It'll just be "remastered" in a way to suit the DS two screens more, proper ratio and no blocky squashy stuff like you get when you play some games with a SNES emulator.

Only extra stuff is a new dungeon & wireless play.
