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.

None of the re releases or remasters can give me the dose of true nostalgia known as vanish-doom. Every game ever should have a definitive version that won’t need emulation though.

There’s already a Chrono trigger remake with the original graphics on steam. It has FMV scenes and the controls are kind of shit so it’s not exactly like the pixel remasters but you don’t need an emulator

It would be super cool if they release an anime series like Ys 1&2 have.

Add that as a DLC and increase resolution of sprites and increase bitrate of music and call it a day. I’d buy that.

Too bad the art direction in Pixel Remasters is so inconsistent and garbage.

Because a huge group of current gamers weren’t born yet back then.

Release it as is. (DS version)

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.

But for fuck sake replace the reptite village they added in the DS version with something enjoyable. One of the most tedious sequences I’ve ever suffered through.

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.

I would love to have the same story but more fleshed out appropriate to the character. Add way more exploration of the eras. Maybe a couple more playable characters that are already established in the game like Schala or Azala or one of the gurus in their younger form.

A 3d remake like chrono cross got could be good

I’d play it. I would also still really want it to have a very psx aesthetic but with less jankiness.

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.

Well, the main character’s name is Crono, so they could just drop the h.

In that case, people would mistakenly believe the game is about tending fields and rightfully choose Stardew Valley. An insurmountable problem.

A minor plot point. Barely even mentioned.

Would love to see a remake like FF7 got.

I think the industry is in a hurry to stop spending $100M+ per game, so I’d say that’s unlikely.

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.
