A food for thought: Square recently said that given the Switch sucess, it would be more open to develop AA games for it.Hopefully with this they give Chrono Trigger a second chance as a AA franchise, even if it deserves the biggest budget it could get, and lives on at least as a Switch exclusive, possibly with the first game being a remake using Octopath engine/style.I mean, I would prefer if they went all in with Chrono Trigger and gave it an artstyle similar to Dragon Quest, but I would love this too.

Yeah, that would be pretty dope.  I could MAYBE see them doing something like that, and if it were to be successful enough, eventually get the Dragon Quest treatment.

 

It still blows my mind though how they have not done anything with it yet.  Even with all the controversy surrounding Chrono Cross, it was still a commercial and critical success.

 

And seeing how it introduced multiverse theory into the canon, it would have been easy to bring back Crono and the gang in some form or another.  There is literally endless potential for the franchise.

 

While I remain pessimistic overall on the topic of a new Chrono game, it will always be number one on my wishlist.  With that in mind, the scenario you painted would not be bad at all.

If they bring back Chrono Trigger, I do hope that they forget Cross existed.God, that game was such a dissapointment to me.But if they do keep it, and use the different dimensions as an excuse to keep all games canon, make them be standalone, please.One of the things that made Cross story extremely convoluted was because it tried to link to the first game and it just failed misarebly, in my opinion.

I much rather they just make Chrono Break as if Cross never existed, and for it to be a direct sequel to Trigger, or at the very least acknowledges the events of the first game but has zero or minimal ties to that game and its not required to understand the plot.

But I think that, if that happens, will only be at the very least announced next year, probably because that will be relegated to the Octopath team, and they are still rather busy with the current game.
