After I asked that, I checked the Wikipedia article on CT and I found an interesting interview on cubed3 that stated this: http://www.cubed3.com/news/6729/ "as for seeing Chrono Trigger return in any form (a port, remake or Virtual Console release ? the last option currently being a 50-50 in terms of happening), it would come down to working out copyright details between the various members of the original team (most of which are no longer staff at Square Enix);" So, unless they´re lying, maybe they have just resolved the copyright issues they had. And perhaps a VC release, after the DS remake is not out of the question now...although those who have a DS would probably just go for the DS version. By the way, they also give an explanation in the article about older FF games: "The subject of Final Fantasy's original versions appearing on the Virtual Console or why the NES version of FFIII was not included in the DS game also came up. Tanaka-san, open as ever, said it comes down to not being able to find all of the code, which was saved on diskettes at the time! That explains why the games did not appear as part of the Famicom Mini series as well, with Square Enix choosing to do remakes instead;" I´m hoping they find those diskettes... @SoulCaster

FF, Chrono Series are gold mines for S-E, so why re-release these games for for about $8 a pop, when you can re-release them for for about $30/40 a pop instead. [T.O.S.C.] @seiya19

I've been thinking it about it last night and this morning, just what more could they add to it, character portraits in the speech windows, perhaps a handful of spoken clips (which even the PSX cutscenes didn't have?), rearranged soundtrack, etc. Also, if it gets localized, there would probably be a new scipt like the FF remakes, unlike being on VC it'd just be a direct port. Oh, need a neat looking cover art too. The ticking just gets me so excited, what a tease :) Thanks again for breaking this awesome news. I just can't wait, I'd be buying 2 copies in Eng. and Jpn.

I mean, it´s Chrono Trigger, my favorite game of all time... I hope Square-Enix know what they´re doing, I don´t want to see this masterpiece being tainted by a bad port/remake (well, aside the technical issues of the PSX version...). I also think the best way to do this would be to make it sprite-based (similar to DQ games, and with the original designs) instead of going 3D like FF III and IV...let´s see what they think. By the way, gaming news keep surprising me lately... A new Megaman 9 in 8-bit style, a Castlevania 3D fighter, a 2D console Wario, Tatsunoko VS Capcom, a Soul Calibur game with Star Wars characters, MK VS DC...I don´t know what to expect now... Anything can happen...well, except a new Chrono game... PS: Didn´t Square-Enix had licensing issues to release Chrono Trigger on the Virtual Console ? Because of the members that left the company ? Maybe this means that a VC release is possible now... And thanks for the news/updates !!!

I hope they just port the SNES over, sprites, music, and all and not give it a 3D treatment. Yaaay! I hope they just port the SNES over, sprites, music, and all and not give it a 3D treatment.

Even if it isn't released here I'll still get it. I've played through Chrono Trigger so many times I don't need to know Japanese, lol. Wonder how long it’ll take to be released in America?
