30 Minutes of Game: Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger (クロノ・トリガー Kurono Torigā?) is a role-playing video game developed and published by Square (now Square Enix) for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1995. Chrono Trigger's development team included three designers that Square dubbed the "Dream Team": Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of the Final Fantasy series; Yuji Horii, a freelance designer and creator of Enix's popular Dragon Quest series; and Akira Toriyama, a freelance manga artist famed for his work with Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball. Kazuhiko Aoki produced the game, Masato Kato wrote most of the plot, while composer Yasunori Mitsuda scored most of the game before falling ill and deferring remaining tracks to Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. The game's story follows a group of adventurers who travel through time to prevent a global catastrophe.

This was the be all RPG of its time. It wasnt my first, but will always be my most memorable as a kid.

camel_toad4149d ago

Yep and easily some of the best music as well.

Tzuno4149d ago

The snes still number 1 console.

vork774149d ago

they need to remake this for the ps3 or 3ds with better graphics like 3d model graphics and have the world look amazing and open world while keeping the rest of the game the same

bwazy4149d ago (Edited 4149d ago )

No, no they really don't.

This game is a piece of art that shows that we don't need games/devs devoting 9/10 of their budgets and time to CG's and graphics, but rather establishing captivating storytelling, character development and extremely solid game play. As (imo) those are what matter the most.

Although it wasn't to say that this game didn't look quite nice in its day (as it still looks quite nice now.)

If they're going to devote ANY resources into Chrono Trigger, then I want it to be in the form of a officially licensed sequel, or at least allowing the fan based one to be legally released.

vork774149d ago

well if the sequel was abiut cronos son and his father and Marle vanish from the world and it turns out crono and Marle is stuck in time frozen and there son must find out when or where they are

McLuvn4149d ago

They don't make em like that anymore:(

NeXXXuS4149d ago

All those feels... Hold me bro T_T

J86blum4149d ago

If they remade this using the same chars and looks on the wiiu I would run out and buy one in a heartbeat.(looks to icon)...

bwazy4149d ago

You do realize that you can just use an emulator and play it right now? There is no justification to spend 250+ dollars on a system to play a game that has been released countless times on cheaper devices.

J86blum4149d ago

And you down voted me due to your simple lack of understanding. I was make a comment in regards to how the Sony Playstation 3 did a tech demo for FFVII. That is how I would like to see Chrono Trigger.

I’m Glad Atlus & SE Changed Dates To Avoid Competing With Shadow Of The Erdtree

Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."

More intelligent than guerilla games

raWfodog1d 14h ago (Edited 1d 14h ago )

Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.

HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.

It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.

What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.

Yuji Naka guilty of insider trading breaks silence to accuse Square Enix producer of lies

Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.

I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence

solideagle15d ago

can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?

Chocoburger15d ago

Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.

carrotcakeag15d ago

@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.

Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.

jznrpg18d ago

Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
