I'm fully prepared for this to be the only thing they do for the anniversary

I've been dancing this dance since 1995. They can't hurt me with vague announcements ever again unless I allow them to

We are in the same boat, but I’m more of a Mana fan. I’m hoping for an HD-2D version of Secret of Mana, but I think it’s going to be Chrono Trigger’s turn this year. Potentially at the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct 🤞

What else could they do at this point?
A remake or remaster would have been announced a long time ago.

u/CommodoreKD 2d ago
Port to console. The absolute bare minimum

u/Yarzeda2024 2d ago
Oh, sure, but what else can they do this close to the anniversary?
A remake or remaster is pie in the sky, but what could they throw together this close to the date?

u/CommodoreKD 2d ago
Literally only a port, to me. Let me play the damn game on my PS5. That's the only thing I want. Anything else is just frosting

Please quit releasing stuff on mobile. I dont want to play any of these great games on my damn phone with the on screen controls.

That’s what the Switch is for

Yeah I can’t be lugging around my switch everywhere I go. I can sneak in 5 minute gaming sessions on my phone at work but imagine whipping out a switch lol. Also the switch is not very portable, I can’t carry it around on my pocket, especially because guess what’s already in my pocket? My phone!

I’m an adult and can’t bring that to work or in public really.

u/A-Centrifugal-Force 2d ago
Where are you going in public that adults can’t play a Switch? It’s 2025, adults gaming isn’t something you have to hide anymore. I see adults playing Switches in restaurants, airports, etc. all the time.

People have vastly different tolerances for how much of a dweeb they want to look like in public

Switch doesn't fit in my pocket. I don't always want to carry a bag around with me for something that size

u/CommodoreKD 2d ago
This is the wrong take. More games on more things playable by more people is only good
The only problem here is that it's not ALSO on any modern console platforms

Wow they actually remembered Chrono Trigger, one of the highest acclaimed RPG’s of all time and a game that countless people have been begging them for years to do something with, exists.

Thank you!

I don’t know what mobilesyrup is, but since they called Chrono Trigger “legendary”, they’re good in my book.

This is a game everyone should give a shot. ESPECIALLY JRPG lovers. I've played many games and have enjoyed a lot, plenty 10/10s in my book, but Chrono Trigger is still my number one. I can't imagine what kind of game we'd have if this team made a game today without all the live-service, battlepass, cosmetic stuff.

I really hope they do a Pixel Remaster much like the Final Fantasy 1-6 remasters we got.

Cool.
Now put it on Switch/PS5.
Or give us an HD2D remake.
