I'm not one of those people who's been begging for the remake for ages and I certainly wouldn't mind playing a remake.
Well looking back at what Nomura said not long ago with his two projects, the one he was talking when he said it's not new, I think he's referring to the FF VII remake. I mean, Kingdom Hearts III is still a bit too early to be announced I reckon.
This new statement only enforces what he'd said previously. So it does kinda make more sense if he was talking about the FF VII remake. PS3 exclusive of course.
In all honesty it could work if they change the battle system and make it more exciting. I've said it before, JRPG's need a battle system like Valkyrie Profile 1 or even better, 2. Think about it, you have 4 members positioned, open the attack with magic from Cait Sith, followed by shots from Barret, while Tifa Rushes in and launches the enemy in the air, Cloud jumps and smashes mob down , now the combo meter reaches 100% and Tifa's final heaven activates followed by Cloud's Omnislash.....a VP fighting system could breathe life into this remake. What do you think kowenicki? (and yes I would like a KH3 more).

How can you be sure that a remake would be a playstation 3 exclusive?
screw ffvii, give me this SE!! It could be on ps2, i dont care
Chrono Trigger was pretty fine as it was. A new Chrono game would be better.
Problem is, 3/4 the people who worked on Chrono Trigger aren't working at Square anymore.
That's true, but if Square could get back the entire original team of Neverland that developed the SNES Lufia's to do the new Lufia DS, they could do the same for Chrono Trigger, even though I don't really see that happen.

Rumors have stated that they did try to get the Chrono Team back. Trobule is, they're all over the place. SOme of the core people already work for them, such as Yuji Horii, Akira Toriyama and, though he played a VERY minor part in Chrono rigger, Nomura. So they could all come back. However some of them went off to form their own company, which now are owned by Nintendo (Monolith Soft). And the head producer, Sakaguchi, also went off to form his own company, Mistwalker, and is pretty distant to Square now (that whole 'millions of dollars lost' on Final Fantasy and near bankrupcy and politely left Square thing). Plus, the original writers for both Chrono games aren't even working at Monolith Soft OR Namco anymore...so whatever they're doing.
So...its kind of hard to get the 'true' Chrono team back. The next best thing might simply be to get a new team together with as many members from the old team you can. And then get a new development group. And this is where a third party might be useful. Say....Level-5? They've been doing a number of pet projects for SquareEnix recently and practically redid the nearest thing to Chrono Trigger in the last 14 years with Dragon Quest VIII. If I could see anyone doing the next Chrono game, it would be them. Of course, only if they got the original writers back AND some of the other original staff. Mostly Yuji Horii, Akira Toriyama and the original writers. But for the actual grunt work, Level-5 would probably be best at this point.

That's entirely true, but also it's kind of a similar situation with what happened with the original Lufia team, since most of them went separate ways, some to Natsume and some to Taito.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see a Chrono Trigger remake (or at least S-E allowing the Ressurection Project to go on) or even a true continuation to it's universe (I was dissapointed with Chrono Cross being so far away from what Chrono Trigger built), but I also share with you the same feeling that it's pretty much near impossible for it to be so.
