Why remake perfection?
I wouldn’t hate the pixel treatment the FF games got. I am playing through FF1 and have the other 5 on tap. I played the intro to FF6 and the changes are a real QOL improvement.
Completely agree with this. I played through all FF Pixel Remasters and it was great. Would love a Chrono Trigger Pixel Remaster so I don’t have to bust out an emulator when I want to play it again.
It’s already on Steam. It’s on PSN. It’s probably on Xbox and switch, too. It works just fine. There is absolutely no reason to remake this.
A different, coherent story, better art (not pixel), more challenging gameplay.
Try to keep some of the same feelings. Keep it menu based. Keep it isometric.
Invest in writers and art. The gameplay doesn’t need to be complicated.
Better Art (Not Pixel)
Better story
Better gameplay
Shots fired. Just admit you’re not a fan of it and move on.
There is a reason it still tops the best JRPG lists of all time, and it ain’t nostalgia.
They did what they could with 90s technology, and it was amazing at the time. If they could have done it in Studio Ghibli style, they would have.
We have more opportunities now with better technology, but we keep aiming at the wrong things. We don’t need a 3d, first person world. We don’t need more arpgs, and we don’t need pixel art.
Show 30 years of improvement in the parts that made it strong originally.
I’m absolutely a fan. I just don’t think it is the pinnacle of what can be done now.
A 3d remake like chrono cross got could be good
A release date.
An actual turn-based system for slow idiots like me
What would “chrono” refer to if not the combat system? They’d have to title the remake “Trigger.” Abominable.
In that case, people would mistakenly believe the game is about tending fields and rightfully choose Stardew Valley. An insurmountable problem.
Would love to see a remake like FF7 got.
No thank you, the VII remake feels like they are making the rest of the game in the next room. “No, you can’t do the next part, you have to collect flowers for orphans and have a motorcycle chase.” Constantly buying time with stupid crap.
The original was well paced and fun, they would undoubtedly fuck it up and have Tetsuya Nomura write it.
