With good news, however, must come some bad: in an interview with Takashi Tokita, who directed the FFIV remake, the possibility of a remake of another of his well-known games is discussed:
"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."

If and when Chrono Trigger DS is released, I'll buy two copies and another DS just to say thanks.

Remaking final fantasy IV made sense. A lot of people don't play square's first really great story based game because the graphics are dated and the writing comes from an era when standards were lower in many ways. Apparently the new game even has more plot and side story than the original, because square had to cut a lot out of the over-ambitious original game concept!
Remaking Chrono Trigger only makes sense so that people can buy it again, and play it on a hand held system. If I were remaking chrono trigger, I'd hate to do it on the DS in simplified 3d, and I'm not sure I'd want to do it in sleek looking high res 3d either. It probably would lose the totally unique art style of the original game. . . maybe a cel shaded game would work? Also, the music would never be as full sounding on the DS as it is on the SNES or on an emulator. I would definitely buy it, however. Especially if they added a few more side stories and quests.

At least we now have virtual confirmation that we will be getting it rather than just sitting in the dark.
One of the things I'm most interested in for this, despite it being FFIV and as far as I'm concerned the best FF out, is the Decant abilities. It will be weird to see Kain and Cecil using Twin Magic, now if only you had Tellah and Fu So Ya at the same time.

I just noticed another title from Square Enix on there as well, "The World Ends With You". What information does NP have on that?

I would love to see Chrono Trigger with DQ8 graphics. In fact, when I finished DQ8 I felt compelled to replay CT and promptly did so.

after DQ8 and DBZ games and for even better example DQ Monsters Joker it's way posible to make a CT for DS

We have been asking this for years - where have YOU been? We were asking for a sequel the year after Chrono Trigger came out. We have been asking for a TRUE sequel EVER SINCE - where have you been that you don't know that Mr. Tokita! Chrono Trigger buyers FINANCED years of Fial Fantasy games (including FFVII), because your game, which ripped off gamers at $80.00 a pop, even way back then, sold more copies than all of the Final Fantasy libraries combined - including FFIII! What does it take for you to know that not only do we want a remake - but we want new titles in the series as well, just like you have been doing with Final Fantasy - without the screw-ups. And NO - Chrono Cross does not count, as we all know that was a rippoff of some Rascal something or other game - and not a true sequel of Chrono Trigger (it didn't even play like Chrono Trigger).
Cmon Takashi Tokita - wake up and stop pretending you don't know what's going on. Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III, V and VII are all games we would like to see more of - spinoffs, sequels, remakes (not movies and games of other genres - PARTY BASED RPGS JUST LIKE THEY WERE - and not ONLINE EITHER - and not all stuck on the small screen, give us fully produced console versions!). you do that and see just how profitable it can be. Make another FFX-2 type game and see how fast we close our wallets to you.

I, for one, cannot wait until this game comes out. I've been saying it since I first caught wind of it. I hope to the higher powers that they continue this trend with FFVI. For me FFIV was the first RPG I ever played and it has an incredibly emence story for a SNES game. Think of how long it took you to beat that game when it first came out. Of course I was 10 when it came out but still. FFVI is another fairly long game with so much happening. I liked Chrono Trigger but I think a FFVI remake would be more advantageous then a CT remake...at least I'd like to see FFVI being remade first.
