Alright, so get this — Yuji Horii, one of the big brains behind Chrono Trigger, is, like, tossing around the idea of remaking it. Picture it: fans shouting from rooftops (not literally, I hope), and Horii’s there like, “Hmm, maybe?” This was all sparked after he swung by some convention in Naples.
And, like, who could blame him? Chrono Trigger’s this wild 1995 SNES ride with Crono and pals zipping through time trying to save the world. Real classic stuff. The “Dream Team” that crafted this masterpiece included Horii, Hironobu Sakaguchi (the Final Fantasy guy), and Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame. Mix-in an epic soundtrack — mainly Yasunori Mitsuda’s genius — and you’ve got something special.
Oh, and fun fact: apparently, some translation mess got people buzzing about the remake way sooner than Horii planned. Gotta love it when words travel faster than a time machine.
Anyway, so Horii — maybe riding the wave of Square Enix’s successful remakes like Dragon Quest 3 — thinks there’s a shot. But nothing’s set in stone. Just whispers for now. On the other hand, he’s got his hands busy with Dragon Quest stuff — with new releases coming, so he’s not twiddling his thumbs here.
And don’t even start on the 30th anniversary coming up in 2025. Perfect time for some fireworks, right? But, yeah, whether or not this remake buzz turns into a full symphony, only time — ha, time, get it? — will tell. Meanwhile, the nostalgia’s real and the hype is electric. Let’s see where it takes us.
