In the mid-nineties, at the approach of the millennium, the creators of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest combined their considerable talents in the hopes of creating the ultimate Japanese role-playing game. What resulted was Chrono Trigger, considered not only one of the best games of the era but also one of the high-water marks for the genre even today.
It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.
It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.
A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.
Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.
The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
Talk about a game that is perfect. The combination of the entire team in regards to Art, gameplay, sound, and design will never be replicated again. What a perfect collaboration of great minds that created one of the most incredible games of all time. Chrono Trigger really does deserve a remake. I personally would love just to see HD polish two its 16-bit graphics with an overlay of 1080p lighting effects similar to The Final Fantasy 1 and 2 PSP version. I don't think anything about this game needs to get recreated. Just add some really cool effects and polish it up event. Maybe add some content keeping the graphics style and of course put trophies in it.
