Why?

To update a bit, they did it in the ps1 update, and i am sure you loved it then.

I'm definately looking forward to this game, as it's tied with Final Fantasy 6 as my favorite RPG of all time.

I also like the fact they are sticking with the original ed graphics. Final Fantasy 3 was a different story, did you really want NES era graphics and a basic retranslation of FF3 on NDS? Of course not. But the art in Chrono Trigger was a thing of beauty. I'm glad to see they are leaving it intact. I DO hope they sharpen the sprites a lil bit, as well as maybe retranslate the game. Either way, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I can't wait for this. I had a fanboy-gasm when CTDS was announced just shortly after Diablo 3. They shouldn't change a thing, for me, anyway. I'm an oldschool gamer. I'm not a real big fan of ANY game going 3d after its 2d roots (zelda, mario, GTA, the FF series), but thats just the way i am.

What i AM looking forward to about this though, is just being able to PROPERLY play this on the go. I re-started earthbound on a random emulator on the DS, and was in love... because it was portable. (...i LOVE me some earthbound in general, it just made it better that i could play it on the couch/bus/shitter/etc.) So i can't wait for a proper portable port (yay alliteration!

) for this one!

Hmm... i wonder if they'll throw in a couple of new endings *gasp*

Ooo, but what this game IS missing... they'd need to port it to the Wii.

CT NEEDS WAGGLE!!!

The CG movies in the PSX version, drawn up by Akira Toriyama, were definitely a treat.

However, let me tell you; the game (as I've already said) was down-right unplayable due to the frustrating amount of lag.

However, to be honest with you, the CG movies were also unnecessary. What was nice was how they extended the ending so as to fill in a few gaps ("The ____ of Guardia") as well as provide a subtle link to the sequel, Chrono Cross (Ok -- not subtle

).

If Chrono Trigger DS merely accomplishes these two things, it will have done the job of the CG movies.

The CG movies seemed unnecessary and forced, reiterated by the fact that after you watched them, you then had to re-watch them in-game as the original style dictated. This was especially strange during dramatic scenes, like a certain scene in the Dark Ages deep under water.

So no, although I thought the music was beautiful in the CGs, and although any new official Chrono Trigger-related media is exciting, I didn't feel like the movies added to the experience. I certainly did not play through the PSX game of Lag-tasticness just to see them either; I just popped the disc in my computer and extracted them

.

Anyways, at this point a slurry of users have already stated like-minded thoughts on the matter, so it would seem that perhaps those who are upset over a faithful rendition may be the minority.

Really if they did an update to this game, and i mean really did a huge update. maybe even put it on the wii or ps3 or even the 360, would you be mad. is it because you are stuck with as a port that you are happy with it. fanboys even myself, will look past things to make them feel better. i have done it and i know i will do it again. but i know when i do it. do you.
