if you have 40$ to burn, go help some homeless people or some shit. you already know how the stupid game goes, and the stupid dungeon isn't going to add shit to the game anyways.

Man, I wish that, FOR ONCE, everyone decided to NOT BUY this shit. Then, I bet there would be a 99% change of a full 3D remake.

lol no.

square-enix would just make new ports of Final Fantasy, since people still buy that shit too.

its sad that fans have invested more work into being a good new Chrono game than SE themselves.

There is always that option among many others, after all it doesn't necessarily have to rest entirely within having the cash to burn if it's something they really want.  Personally speaking, I'm not the type to feel as if cash can burn a hole in my pocket and thus I should spend it when and where I can.  I'd sooner toss it into savings if that were the case, provided that were the choice I'd settle on.

To be honest, I can see really only the die hard fans going after this to begin with, partly because S-E rarely ever largely advertises their DS stuff unless it's something "big" like FF III or (likely) FF IV/ DQ IX.  But S-E has been on a remake/porting spree for a few years now with any of the "new" stuff they've tossed in being slow burners sales wise.

What I want to know is WHY is a pathetic game like FINAL FANTASY 3 got a fucking full 3D remake with all the bells and whistles, and yet, a timeless classic piece of a gem like CT got a fucking shitty PORT?

I've never actually played Chrono Trigger, so this is my chance to experience everyone else's memories. I'm pretty pumped, but not about the 40$ price tag. Oh well, I guess. As long as it's a good game!

It's at times like these I'm glad I have an R4DS. I can understand those wanting to buy it, some people like collecting and owning the games, and adding Chrono Trigger to your collection isn't a bad thing, although it is supporting shittyness. I see and understand things from both sides.

Is it for sure only just a port? Can somebody link me to the details saying it's just a port with a new dungeon?

Because the 3D on the DS is shitty. Though I DO think they should've redrawn the sprites and environments and made it look prettier.
Yay! Random words!

why don't you just download the fucking rom?

you realize all of you guys can just type CHRONO TRIGGER in google and save yourselves $40.

or even better: download the snes rom and just send a $40 check to square in the mail. not only will you save them the production costs of making this port you'll get to experience the game too!!

Final Fantasy III DS: Full 3D Remake
Final Fantasy IV DS: Full 3D Remake + Voice Acting, etc
Dragon Quest IV DS: Full 3D Remake with new sprites, etc
Dragon Quest V DS: Full 3D Remake with new sprites, etc
Final Fantasy I & II PSP: Full graphical remake & new content
Star Ocean First Departure: Full 3D Remake with Voice Acting + new battle system

Chrono Trigger DS: Direct port with new dungeon

I can see both sides of this as well, but seriously $40 is too much. I'm glad I have an R4. You could say this is for the fans who want nothing changed, but that's a pretty bad argument. There are tons of things they could have touched up on while still keeping it true to the fans, instead of just adding a new dungeon.

This is pretty spot on.

are you all seriously this fucking stupid.

this is unbelievable. you have all played the product in question, they add ONE SHINY TRINKET, and bam, 40 dollars.

how do people like you exist? have you met a homeless person before? or learned the value of a dollar at all. jesus christ, it's a DUNGEON. videogames as a whole require some justification, but all of you are buying a DUNGEON for forty fucking dollars and Square gets to rake in the cash for a game where the original team is GONE. no one who made Chrono Trigger benefits from your purchase.

the worst part is no one here has a decent justification at all. you're supposed to be a community of game makers and you're all absolutely, 100%, okay with rebuying the same game with A SINGLE NEW ADDITION, just because it's new. not even made by the same people. it's an addition. and then you idiots are seriously pulling the ITS HIS MONEY card, you fucking morons, of course it's his money, and I'm telling him he's spending it poorly. GASP congratulations I've had to explain the basic concept of discussion to you, perhaps next we will tackle something as difficult as disagreement.

don't buy a port because they ADDED A DUNGEON. I can't believe anyone above the age of 10 has to have this explained to them. my god how many of you went to buy MCRIB SANDWICHES because they were new? does marketing seriously work that well on you idiots? I could shill you out of your entire life savings without even trying just by saying BRAND NEW: NOTHING IN A BOX! YOU HAVE IT AT HOME BUT THIS ONE...COULD HAVE SOMETHING IN IT!

christ you're supposed to be people who actually have an investment in gaming's future too. I seriously cannot believe logic this flawed could exist in people seeking to improve the industry.

Dude. Get over it. People can buy what they want. Who cares if you don't agree... You don't need to shove your opinion down everyones throats.

ya, they can buy what they want. but it doesn't make the purchase any more worthwhile or legitimate.

and this is a forum, what do you do but offer your opinion in discussions??

This is the stupidest argument ever. Like, shoving opinions down everyone's throats is not only a) what people do in general but b) you're kinda doing it too by shoving your opinion that people can buy whatever they want and to get over it down his.

if you think something is wrong (like say, porting a game when all they did is take a rom, put it on a cartridge, and hack it a bit to have a new dungeon (yes it is really that easy, and many people have done things like this) and put it on a cartridge (this takes all of like one month or less btw) and making it priced at 40 USD))), you talk out about it. it's a forum for christs sakes.

If you want to go waste 40$ on a game that is not only:
a) the worst port out of every port they've done so far content wise
b) doesn't even have any new graphics what-so-ever
c) doesn't add new story
e) just adds 1 fucking dungeon.
and most importantly:
f) takes less than 1 month to make and just hacked a ROM to do it anyways and put it on a cartridge for 40$ (hint: they are making insane profit off of one sale compared to every other game out there (even the other ports))

then by all means, you go do it.

Meanwhile, I'll be laughing my ass off in the same isle because of how profoundly stupid you are.

There is no real reason to buy this game. If you think buying this game will encourage SE to make a new Chrono game or something, you are an idiot. Look at the Final Fantasy ports. People bought it. Guess what happened? More ports. Look at FF7. People bought all the shitty games they released (fucking Dirge of Ceberus etc.). Guess what happened? Final Fantasy Advent Children 2. YEAH THATS TOTALLY A REMADE FF7 or a NEW FF7 game that doesn't suck.

Unless if they are making a new Chrono game already (possible with the NP scan of a white sword...), this isn't going to affect them on making one at all. All it is doing is ferreting money to them that basically says, "Hi. I'm a loyal customer who is an idiot and likes to buy anything no matter how much I actually need it. Please remake this game a year from now with NEW CHARACTER GRAPHICS and a pile of shit in the box for 60$ for the Wii. Thanks!"

it more or less says more about Square-Enix and how much they care about the Chrono series (read: they don't. 1 dungeon. That's about one hour of gameplay. And will 99.9% most likely use reused graphics and shit. Woo!

guess it kinda says a lot about how much SE cares huh? 1 dungeon, no new graphics (that every port they have done lately has got), no nothing. They probably put some lazy old 60 year old lonely guy on this project and that is it. as a fan I'd be pretty pissed instead of going OH SHIT YES FUCK YEAH CUMMING IN MY PANTS THEY LOVE US SO MUCH

no. they don't. You're free money to them, and that's it.

Sales figures for this game will probably exceed the sales for the original SNES release, which is depressing.

Actually, I said somewhere around page 2 about how they made a PS1<->SNES emulator, put the ROM on it and bam, $40, this is probably the same thing. A DS<->SNES emulator.

I like Chrono Trigger and All, but I can think of ALOT I can do with $40,
I am however, looking forward to the Dragon Quest Ports, not that I would buy them New (wait a year or two for the used price to get decently low enouph)

I just figured out a way to save yourself $40 and still experience the new game.  Get no$gba and the rom for this game.  Play on your computer.  If you don't want to replay the game for the Xth time then get a savestate from somewhere and just play the new dungeon.  Exact same game, $40 cheaper.

Isn't that pretty much in the eye of the beholder though? (and yes, I do realize there are a lot of eyes beholdin' shit in this thread :P)  Not that I disagree with you as this is a discussion forum for a reason, but kicking out for this game I don't think would make the purchase any less worthwhile or legitimate to the one willing to do so for a reason.

Well, unless you're on the outside looking in or something.
