Very few - arguably no other, in fact - RPGs have survived the test of time as well as Chrono Trigger, and the evidence can be seen in its staggering fanbase, rivaled only in the JRPG world by that of Final Fantasy VII. The game almost received a full, 3-D fan-made remake, until Square Enix pulled the plug on it, and thousands of fans glared hatefully at our very own website when we jokingly announced Chrono Break on April Fool's Day several years ago. So when Square Enix announced that they were rereleasing the beloved RPG classic on the DS, people took notice."

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Yuji Horii may have accidentally confirmed a Chrono Trigger remake at Comicon in Naples. Eyewitness accounts suggest the beloved JRPG could be returning in HD-2D form.
So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.
I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked
I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.
I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
Dragon Ball staff reveal how Akira Toriyama created one of Chrono Trigger's most memorable characters as the RPG celebrates its 30th anniversary.
