Forget FF VII... I want a Chrono Trigger HD remake. It's the best RPG I ever played. I spent a lot of hours playing it on my SNES back in the days.

You should probably look into playing Dragon Quest VIII on PS2.  Its about as close to a Chrono Trigger remake we're going to get.

Plus its just a good game.


Chrono Trigger with Dragon Quest VIII visuals would be amazing!!!!

this sounds like another "i hate that FF7 was so popular" thread. FF7 is more influential and more successful than 6 was, fact. Deal with it. How much RPGs were released post 6 on SNES in the US??? Now how much was released post 7 in the US??? I lost count. 


Excuse me but 7 is a copy of 6 with new characters and villain.


That's a stupid thing to say. Especially from you.

Its important because everyone wants it.

people like living in the past? people want to ruin a classic?

Honestly even if a remake releases people will only complain of how the original was better and what not

Have you played Tactics Ogre remake?

New version is absolutly top class quality and shows that any remake from SE can be great if they give it as much love.

@ashtear  that makes more sense

@christian973  where in my post did i tear down 6??? Because i stated that 7 is more popular and influential?? thats a fact. I love 6, im playing the GBA version right now, which i had to move heaven and earth to find.

Because the original is truly meek these days.

Note, I kind of agree with you.  But at the same time, I still contend that FFVII wasn't just a carbon copy of VI.  Many of the characters are different (for the worst in my opinion) and the entire style of FFVII changed Final Fantasy from being a 'Fantasy' game to a Punk/Post Apocalyptic series.  And these are actually the two things people are attracted to most in FFVII.

Yes, there was little change to the actual battle engine from previous titles.  And yes, Materia is just an upgraded form of Espers in FFVI (with a healthy blend of Runes from Suikoden in my opinion, but that's a whole new can of worms).  But it isn't just a copy of FFVI.  If that was the case, I'd have liked FFVII more.  But there's no equivilant characters for Celes, Locke, Sabin or Edgar.  And the style is definitely not Fantasy/Steampunk.

That's cause they got the man himself who made the game in the first place to handle the remake.  God only knows who they'll get to do a Final Fantasy 7 remake.  But I'd personally like a remake of Final Fantasy VII, I've been meaning to replay that game and this would be the prefect chance.

Well, while Sakaguchi isn't with SE anymore, the other head writers of FFVII are stil lthere.  Namely Nomura and Kitase.  If they were to make the remake, it probably wouldn't be ruined, just closer to their original vision.

And if FFVII: Crisis Core is any indication, they might even do better than the original FFVII.  I'm not a big FFVII fan, but I'd play a remake of FFVII if it was like Crisis Core.
