    Square-Enix: Chrono Trigger Remake a Possibility?

    A recent interview with FFIV DS director Takashi Tokita reveals the possibility for a Chrono Trigger remake.

    The latest Nintendo Power discusses the development of Final Fantasy IV, and the recent slew of remakes for classic Square RPGs on the DS platform. The potential to remake the classic Square SNES adventure Chrono Trigger was a suggestion asked given his role as director for the original game:

    Chrono Trigger was a no-holds-barred, swashbuckling adventure that was a lot of fun to work on... If the demand is great enough, it's certainly possible. But as a creator, I feel the need to create new titles and not just series installments and remakes. I realize it's a little strange for me to be saying that in an interview about Final Fantasy IV (laughs). But I need to remind myself of that, too.

    Final Fantasy IV hit stores in Japan in December last year. A western release date is likely, but still remains unconfirmed.

    There have been countless 'Possible Chrono Trigger remake?' stories. I'll be interested when I hear it confirmed until then, meh.

    "If the demand is great enough"?

    Very few games I can think of that have a higher remake demand than Chrono Trigger.

    Agreed! Really hope they do consider it, whether as a fully-blown console release or a quicker-development with the DS.

    If, the demand has always been there Smilie. Why not just release the original on VC and see the demand for that and use that as a indicator..

    if it does get released on the vc, I think a remake will have even less of a chance. Would you buy it 2 times? I know I wouldn't.

    Not getting my hopes up...
    but if they did do this it would be sweet
    I've been disappointed by these stories before, though.

    Good idea - minimal investment for good research. Or they could be lazy and shove up a poll on the upcoming S-E website.
