Happy this is comming out. I hope it will heve the anime cutsenes from the PSX port as well, who knows. This explains why SquareEnix said that the FF series and Secret of mana would not be hitting the VC last year. *crosses fingers for Secret of Mana DS*

Well I’m thanking the heavens that it’s not a FFIII/IV-esque remake, but I would’ve liked small upgrades like DQIV DS or SO:SE PSP.

The DS is a great platform for all the remakes of older games like this one and Castlevania.

i’m all for a straight port. i never got to play the game way back when, and i don’t really think anyone should release a redux without also packaging in a port of the original in as pure a form as possible. given the choice between redux and straight port, i’d choose a port every time.

If the Chrono Trigger remake went the FFIVr route, there’d probably be more complaints about the decision than actual praise. To this day, Chrono Trigger looks amazing; so I can kind of see why Square-Enix decided to just “remaster” the game.

It would have been interesting to see it remade, though. They could have always gone the Tales of Innocence route and include a visual filter option that made the game’s models look cel-shaded.

Also we would most likely get a new script like the FF remakes when it comes stateside, so at least it wouldn’t be entirely the same for the Eng. version. It would be cool if they throw in a “gallery” for all those awesome Toriyama illustrations too, or an mini-encyclopedia or something, perhaps wishful thinking.
