It's 2020 and somewhere deep in my heart, I wish Chrono Trigger Resurrection was able to be completed. I'm sure Nathan has moved on to bigger and better opportunities in life, but I will always respect him for being a true fan - someone willing to spend 3,000 + hours creating a classic true to nature and, at the time, willing to offer a demo of 10 different scenes to us fans at no cost.
You mean you wish Square didn't ruin everything that was good after their EA buyout. The prime example is the cease and desist vs this CT remake before cut and pasting the old rom to newer systems, when they could've embraced the fanbase as Half Life did w Counterstrike. But then there's also the mishandling of NFL Gameday, the FF7 remake, FIFA, Star Wars Battlefront, etc. Trash company; 20 years of failure.
Nathan, at this date there is an indication that the company can fulfill or end this dream that has been created? The work they did is brilliantly beautiful.
You do present a good point, WaitingForEdward. I wouldn't want someone to make an unauthorized remake of something I worked very hard on. I wonder if the cease and desist could've been avoided by getting permission first. Maybe they did ask first, and maybe Square did say no. Hence, the cease and desist.
This is absolutely amazing! only some things missing, like Crono's mother or sword slash sound(but of course because of square enix this game is forced to be cancelled)
I never knew this project had a working alpha that was distributed. It’s been, what, 15 years? This looks better than the recently released Secret of Mana remake....
Good lord! Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time, but man, not like this 🤦🏻♂️ I appreciate the vision, but some things should remain the way they are. Still, very good job 👍
A friend just showed this to me. That makes me really late to the party. I'm also sad this was canceled but happy they are remaking FFX. Can't complain there!
Waited 30 years to see Crono’s clingy cat in 3D ... and It’s a Fox? .... but i know I’m among legions who really wanted to play this. I think they would have evolved this to get away from the final fantasy style battle and return more to the original game style fighting , as technology would quickly allow.
Regardless, the team involved in the project should have gotten written permission from Sqaure-Enix before-hand. Since by law, not asking permission of a company to allow them to publish and create a game in the Chrono series's honour, is techically copyright infringement. So the reason that Sqaure-Enix did what they did was because they are indeed a company, and yes, I do agree that Sqaure-Enix should have given more thought about their fans and given a game a chance or even a deal.
this couldve genuinely been considered as the greatest remake any game has ever seen, the ost is beautiful the sprites are fuckin gorgeous the game plays so well by the looks of it, such a let down from SE
Just to add my two cents here: What a shame that an amazing enhancement of Chrono Trigger should be threatened like this. That something like this is taken as an attack on Square Enix is ridiculous. If anything, it is the greatest compliment to one of the greatest RPGs ever.
@VampyricalCurse - square enix didn't really go after them anyways... their legal department did, which is practically seperate from Square Enix itself :P Square Enix probably still has no idea this even happened.
I cry every time i watch these videos T_T, This would have been so awesome... to bad square didn't ask for you and your teams help to make this a possibility. Bundled with the original i can 100% guarantee it selling for 60$+, i definitely would buy it and i NEVER buy games for more that 10-20...
However, Square-Enix is a large company and they did own all rights to the game. So without permission or at least some sort of agreement, it would still be considered copyright infringement. Moral of the story: "Always ask first." XD In the end though, what's done is done. We can only hope that the Chrono Series continues onwards with new sequels and etc. Please Sqaure-Enix, at least continue to the series! It's too good to let it die out! T.T
Luis Martins Sorry for asking what's been probably asked to you several times... Is there ANY possibility to have the full version (or at least the most recent build) slip in the web somewhere? Many early build and prototypes of commercialized games surfaced on the web at some point, yet this game still managed to elude the general audience. And it's a shame to let this wonderful work go to waste.
Hi Cloud, well it isnt that easy of a subject. Fisrt I work for Eidos , a Square Enix company, basically I work for Square Enix. And honestly we ( Nathan an I ) have other goals and we would not want to mess our careers over a court paper : ) Sory !
Woah, didn't know you actually got to work for them. That's way better than a romhack and yes, no point in screwing your careers over for it. I'm happy for you guys!
Luis Martins Since you work, in a sense, for Square Enix, couldnt you have them take a look at the buzz generated by this project (and still ongoing) and make them consider a remake in these veins? Perhaps even endorsing the continuation of the project and putting an official seal on it (and a price)?
***** They weren't releasing it for a profit. It would have been freeware. That means no lawsuit would have occurred, as no profits would have been gained from it and no C&D given.
+theGreenGoblin They couldn't release it even for free because it would be in direct competition with any official 3D Chrono Trigger game Square ever plans. You've heard of copyright infringement's fair use but never heard of unfair competition?
Chrono Trigger DEFINITELY deserves a remake. But even if this were to be like, Chrono Trigger 2 or something, I would have been just as happy. Too bad its been canceled...
You know what baffles me? Instead of the companies hiring them, they just shut down a fan site/project for showing their passion for a game they love so much. And these games are made with their own time and money, I mean, really? Yes, I know it's their property, but think of the possibilities that could be accomplished if you inspired these passionate people. *shake my head*
+ravager48 Yeh square seems to have a problem with the crono trigger series. FF12 was supposed to be a crono trigger game but got changed into FF12. On top of that FF3 and FF4 were remade on the ds in 3d. Then they got around to crono trigger and it was shameless port with no updates besides the damn touch screen. Then they shut down alot of crono trigger fan games that get any buzz but they have yet to shut down any Final Fantasy fan games. Pure bullshit.
I'm glad they didn't try to ovehaul it, they don't have the mentality to improve it anymore or even to create a good sequel in the series. It would have ended up with a bunch of people that look like a japanese version of Calvin Klein models like their current RPGs.
I don't agree at all. Stealing IPs from others? Man, people in the west have no idea "COPY"right means. You're just abusing it in the name of "creative commons"
I come back to this for years and years now, and I still think this looks, sounds and feels phenomenal. What an awesome job Nathan. I think you appreciated the game way more than those Square employees responsible for the cease and desist at that time. There still needs to be a leak of it...
Square Enix released Chrono Trigger Limited Edition on Steam at 28 February 2018. Guess what? Bunch of negative reviews. If only they just continue this project years ago instead of porting from a mobile....
@@danisaia No, just Square. Squaresoft was the USA localization house. The developer based in Japan who created the games was known as just Square.

It honestly hurts my heart and makes my eyes well with tears to see such a beautiful thing just scrapped. I mean seriously, I played chrono trigger when it came out and many playthroughs since then. I, along with maybe millions more, (at least a million), have been siting for a true Chrono Trigger sequel. Let's be honest, Chrono Cross was nothing special, not like the Trigger. WE NEED A SEQUEL OR A SUPER-QUALITY REMAKE FOR SUCH A LANDMARK RPG!!! What happened to the golden days of RPGs made by Square? Square-Enix happened, and without top-notch competition between companies they went soft and just don't seem as ambitious. Turned into just another game company, not the Supreme Ruler of RPGs they once were... Gonna go cry myself to sleep now....
Thank you Square-Enix for shutting down a project from a fan that loved your game and was going to give it to you almost for free and made you millions.I hope that changing that for FFX,FFX-2,FFXII and (...ugh...) FFXIII was worth it.
This game looks awesome. I can't believe that Square would shut this down. I mean even the music is amazing. It would be really cool if we had a full 3D remake of chrono trigger just because.
Being a 35 year old man that fell in love with rpg's with the Super Nintendo, seeing a project that obviously came from the heart of a group of people that love Chrono Trigger, watching this brings tears to my eyes. Would have loved to see this completed.
all I have to say is.. "Square-Enix.. *BLEEP BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP! BLEEP!*" if only you had got on project with these guys, this game would have topped ALL game records as 3D.
It was obviously built on a PS2 dev kit or emulator... No way that would come close to running on a N64. Think about it... Even though the N64 was capable of running games at 640x480 (the obvious resolution of the CTR demo), hardly any games ever used that resolution. Most games ran at 320x240 and barley ran at 20fps at that! This demo is running at 640x480 has decent draw distances with high poly count characters (for a ps2 game) and is running at at least a solid 30fps. Think of Super Mario 64 or Golden Eye 64... both ran at 320x240 and Golden eye barely ran at 20fps and it looked like crap compared to this demo... I even wonder if the PS2 could handle this demo. Think about Dragon Quest VIII... It looks very similar to this demo but the characters in that game had 2D textures for faces... This demo had fully rendered 3D faces! So it technically looked even better then DQ8! And made by only 3 or 5 people?!?! Come on... It was probably done on a PC and made to look like it was running on a Square Engine for a console... The programming talent to find the rendering efficiencies to have that game run on even a PS2 would be doubtful.. but not impossible. N64? Impossible.
With FF6, chrono trigger is my best memory of that era, one of shinyiest diamond of the super Nintendo. More than 20 years after, we are still waiting for a remake... It will arrive, for sure, for now it's lost in time...
Is there any Chrono Trigger fan still here? It seems like people gave up on it 6-7 years ago 🥺 Been 15 years and still a die hard fan. Just can’t get enough of it although it’s so old now.
Poojan pradhan because there will be a remake. This shit was so long ago but just like FF7 the game is too fucking good to not get one. Maybe 5,10,20 years, this shit will be released again and it will be fucking glorious. At least that's what I believe
they wont do a remake for that,square terribly hate the chrono series.they will do infinite port at best simply because it's minimal effort for full profit and that is why all fan made chrono project gets crushed.because let's get real who will buy a port if you can get a free fan made version that will probly be way better.
this is why i hate the Chrono trigger port Square Enix: OMG someones remaking chrono trigger and it looks better than what we could do! quick lets shut them down and say we were already gonna remake it! /insert shitty port Square enix: But it has 2 NEWWW DUNGEONSSSS /insert troll face
MannyKunV I just realised...Square Enix took down this remake because they knew it was better and could make more money if it had a price tag on it. So they took it down. Now imagine we got a completely shitty remake of this game, Square would be like "Ugh,the game is so bad. We don't care it is a remake made without our consent,it's bad as fuck. Let the developers suffer" This goes for all video game companies. They only take it down because they know it will make some good money or in case of a free game, be loved by more fans than the original.
OhNoNotMyPenis Yes, it's a fanmade, but if only Hironobu Sakaguchi still took charge of everything, I bet he will support this project (Since it was one of his creation after all)
They probable secretly finished it in house, thats what I would have done. But this taught me a lesson, you never release something like this until its done and there is nothing they can do about it. >_> Looks like a lot of it was done already, the engine and some of the openning.
Most likely this was almost completed if not completely finished. And also chances are the source material still exists but is stuck on some dusty HDD or CD-R/DVD-R in a drawer. I honestly hope this beautiful artwork and design is not lost forever. Some of us can hope for at least a source release at some point.
It kind of makes no sense that square had C&D this game, I mean they could of asked to publish the game and share a split of the profits, or even ask them to work for them because this looks beyond AMAZING for a fan game, and it shows that they have the talent to make a game like this.
@@snowstorm9172 The law is a bit stupid on this. Basically, if they don't protect their IP from EVERYONE, they can't protect it AT ALL. If someone made a game with crude parodies of all their characters meant for defamation, they'd still be able to cry discrimination, because they didn't prevent an eearlier fangame from being made.
I can't stop watching it... I'm so sad... I don't think I can't forgive Square-Enix. They're really screwing the company's history with the trash they're making and with this kind of decissions. You guys deserve all fans's respect.
I wish Square Enix would stop being so selfish and release a HD remake of Chrono Trigger on Wii U and PS4. They keep reporting losses and wonder why. Hmmm... just release this game. It's a shame that the developers stopped development. The leader said that quote "it wasn't their game to make". And I can respect that though. It was very profound.
Wow, just stumbled across this. This looks fantastic. I can't believe Square-Enix. They were my favorite for a long time, but they've really lost me after hearing about this.
The creators are still out there, one of them is bound to have this. Their group is no longer together and the game could have been leaked before, one of them should just upload to piratebay, it would become a worldwide phenomenon overnight making millions of people happy. Square-Enix, you're inhuman corporate money junkies whom belong not in the gaming world. Your utter lack in quality goods has turned millions to piracy. I'll never pay for another FF but I would GLADLY pay $100USD for this.
I wanted this to be released so bad... I'm so mad at Square for shutting this down, but I'm too busy crying nostalgic tears at seeing Chrono's house in 3D with that familiar music... So beautifully done...
In the 21st century, copyrights have no real need to exist. They do nothing except inhibit human evolution, be it artistically, technologically, or otherwise. I think people will figure this out, eventually - there's no need to prevent a technology from being improved, for instance, solely because an individual feels like they deserve to keep making money off of something that CAN be improved - especially when they REFUSE to improve it. In the artistic realm, it's even more arbitrary - why should a person be able to copyright a character, idea, or even a song or lyrics? Let stories be told - if they get popular or screw up the canon - who cares? The masses choose what is right and good, the creators just create. The only reason this game was stopped was because a certain corporation didn't want anyone else making money off of something they feel is theirs. But it never was theirs - it was the ideas of hundreds of different people - the majority of whom probably no longer receive paychecks from Square-Enix.
That's patents, sir. Patents do not belong in areas like software, for example. They generally are just plain wrong, there is no excuse, let alone reason, for justifying patents. The length of copyright just needs to be reduced to something reasonable like 50 years, and things could be re-copyrightable that have lost copyright like every 15 years unless they have been made public domain by the copyright holder at the end of the copyright. People are selfish and so they want some way to protect their intellectual property, this is served pretty well by copyrights.
Pc, Wii U, 3ds, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One....this project COULD HAVE been a gold mine! i wish i can meet these people and shake their hands this would have been a great game the fans would buy in a heartbeat. Square Enix should have given these people a job!
I say fuck 'em. Obviously you can't make $$ from a sequel that isn't your idea, but in the spirit of the gaming community, make it, play it, enjoy it, and be fulfilled by that. Make money another way. If Square want's to be a corporate ass-hat, fuck em'. Make your own games, play them, enjoy life and stop lining the pockets of assholes that don't give a fuck about the game.
Community: "Create almost new game, trying to give a second chance to rise and shine the classic, to give people ability to play this game firstly again". Square Enix: "Release a shitty port of port of port to PC from mobiles and suppress any external opportunity to make something good".
This looks a PS2 game! Which is NOT a bad thing, I think it looks great! I wish that this project could have continued... oh well... here’s hoping for an official Chrono Trigger remake.
It's 2020 and somewhere deep in my heart, I wish Chrono Trigger Resurrection was able to be completed. I'm sure Nathan has moved on to bigger and better opportunities in life, but I will always respect him for being a true fan - someone willing to spend 3,000 + hours creating a classic true to nature and, at the time, willing to offer a demo of 10 different scenes to us fans at no cost.

Think of Super Mario 64 or Golden Eye 64... both ran at 320x240 and Golden eye barely ran at 20fps and it looked like crap compared to this demo... I even wonder if the PS2 could handle this demo. Think about Dragon Quest VIII... It looks very similar to this demo but the characters in that game had 2D textures for faces... This demo had fully rendered 3D faces! So it technically looked even better then DQ8! And made by only 3 or 5 people?!?! Come on... It was probably done on a PC and made to look like it was running on a Square Engine for a console... The programming talent to find the rendering efficiencies to have that game run on even a PS2 would be doubtful.. but not impossible. N64? Impossible.
With FF6, chrono trigger is my best memory of that era, one of shinyiest diamond of the super Nintendo. More than 20 years after, we are still waiting for a remake... It will arrive, for sure, for now it's lost in time...
Is there any Chrono Trigger fan still here?
It seems like people gave up on it 6-7 years ago 🥺 Been 15 years and still a die hard fan. Just can’t get enough of it although it’s so old now.
Of course. There ALWAYS will be Chrono Trigger fans around
I will NEVER forgive SQUEENIX for squashing this fan-project.. they should have funded it but instead NO they destroyed it.
I still cry everytime i see this video.Damn,why Square? Why?.
Poojan pradhan because there will be a remake. This shit was so long ago but just like FF7 the game is too fucking good to not get one. Maybe 5,10,20 years, this shit will be released again and it will be fucking glorious. At least that's what I believe
they wont do a remake for that,square terribly hate the chrono series.they will do infinite port at best simply because it's minimal effort for full profit and that is why all fan made chrono project gets crushed.because let's get real who will buy a port if you can get a free fan made version that will probly be way better.
Because it’s fucking beautiful that’s why
But... The Future Refused to Change.
this is why i hate the Chrono trigger port
Square Enix: OMG someones remaking chrono trigger and it looks better than what we could do! quick lets shut them down and say we were already gonna remake it!
/insert shitty port
Square enix: But it has 2 NEWWW DUNGEONSSSS /insert troll face
MannyKunV I just realised...Square Enix took down this remake because they knew it was better and could make more money if it had a price tag on it. So they took it down. Now imagine we got a completely shitty remake of this game, Square would be like "Ugh,the game is so bad. We don't care it is a remake made without our consent,it's bad as fuck. Let the developers suffer"
This goes for all video game companies. They only take it down because they know it will make some good money or in case of a free game, be loved by more fans than the original.
Damn you can really tell how old this comment is
If only Square-enix is still Squaresoft, they wouldn't have abandon this masterpiece. Hironobu Sakaguchi, I miss you and your games.
OhNoNotMyPenis Yes, it's a fanmade, but if only Hironobu Sakaguchi still took charge of everything, I bet he will support this project (Since it was one of his creation after all)
Square got greedy to squash that competition. When you no competition you can produce garbage.....
They probable secretly finished it in house, thats what I would have done.
But this taught me a lesson, you never release something like this until
its done and there is nothing they can do about it. >_>
Looks like a lot of it was done already, the engine and some of the openning.
Most likely this was almost completed if not completely finished. And also chances are the source material still exists but is stuck on some dusty HDD or CD-R/DVD-R in a drawer.
I honestly hope this beautiful artwork and design is not lost forever. Some of us can hope for at least a source release at some point.
Never getting to play this or see it come around to release, deeply saddens me. This looked incredible.
*sigh* and that's why great games like Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG never received true sequels
agreed. fuck paper mario not a true sequel
Madmagicanman1 Chrono Cross is the sequal to Trigger whether you like it or not.
And I wouldnt be blaming Nintendo. Blame Square
HarmonySword Chrono Cross killed off all triggers characters and world it's really hard to believe the game was made by the same guy
Archus orez that's what happens when sufficient time passes. People die
yes too bad crono cross had nothing to do with crono trigger the only similarity was that they had the word crono in the title LOL
such passion and effort in making this game... great job guys. too bad it got discontinued.
I cried watching this at around 2:40....
Of course I am chopping onions, but it really is touching.
:D
Pussy
CHRONO TRIGER DESRVES a REMAKE how nice... ^_^ CHRONO TRIGGER & Chrono Cross are awesome games...
Look at this, and now look at Trails of Mana that just came out.... 16 years, and thats what we got...
but it gives me hope bc they’re starting to remake their legendary titles again (Secret of Mana, FF7, now hopefully chrono next)
WHY DID THIS GAME HAVE TO BE CANCELLED!? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!??!
GODDAMMIT SQUARE! DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From time to time I come to watch this video, and every time I do, I regret watching it.
*changes his facebook relationship status to "it's complicated with square enix"*
LOL
W H A N G
「NUT」下ォザ ayyyyyyyyyy
Kfc
It kind of makes no sense that square had C&D this game, I mean they could of asked to publish the game and share a split of the profits, or even ask them to work for them because this looks beyond AMAZING for a fan game, and it shows that they have the talent to make a game like this.
That's not how it works. This "game" was BLATANTLY illegal, andSquare would get into SERIOUS problems if they DIDN'T C&D it!
@@corjonbett What kind of problems? Seems odd to me that this would cause them issues
@@snowstorm9172 The law is a bit stupid on this. Basically, if they don't protect their IP from EVERYONE, they can't protect it AT ALL.
If someone made a game with crude parodies of all their characters meant for defamation, they'd still be able to cry discrimination, because they didn't prevent an eearlier fangame from being made.
i cry everytime i see this video...this was a fucking masterpiece...
imagine if this gets the same remake treatment as ff7
Really square... Really. I understand you had your reasons but this was a huge punch in the gut to your fans.
OMG I'm gonna cry!!! why they had to cancel this project, it would have been great to enjoy it on a PS2
I can't stop watching it... I'm so sad... I don't think I can't forgive Square-Enix. They're really screwing the company's history with the trash they're making and with this kind of decissions. You guys deserve all fans's respect.
I wish Square Enix would stop being so selfish and release a HD remake of Chrono Trigger on Wii U and PS4. They keep reporting losses and wonder why. Hmmm... just release this game. It's a shame that the developers stopped development. The leader said that quote "it wasn't their game to make". And I can respect that though. It was very profound.

OMFG!!! This is awesome. Each time I looks at this remake, it make angry cause we will nver be able to play it...
Never Forget this, 11/2019
Magnifique! if only it could be released....i love the chrono cross ost at the beginning
Wow, just stumbled across this. This looks fantastic. I can't believe Square-Enix. They were my favorite for a long time, but they've really lost me after hearing about this.
Muito bom... ChronoTrigger precisa de um Remake ou continuação direta. 🥇🏆❤️🗡️
The creators are still out there, one of them is bound to have this. Their group is no longer together and the game could have been leaked before, one of them should just upload to piratebay, it would become a worldwide phenomenon overnight making millions of people happy.
Square-Enix, you're inhuman corporate money junkies whom belong not in the gaming world. Your utter lack in quality goods has turned millions to piracy. I'll never pay for another FF but I would GLADLY pay $100USD for this.
I wanted this to be released so bad... I'm so mad at Square for shutting this down, but I'm too busy crying nostalgic tears at seeing Chrono's house in 3D with that familiar music... So beautifully done...
In the 21st century, copyrights have no real need to exist. They do nothing except inhibit human evolution, be it artistically, technologically, or otherwise. I think people will figure this out, eventually - there's no need to prevent a technology from being improved, for instance, solely because an individual feels like they deserve to keep making money off of something that CAN be improved - especially when they REFUSE to improve it.
In the artistic realm, it's even more arbitrary - why should a person be able to copyright a character, idea, or even a song or lyrics? Let stories be told - if they get popular or screw up the canon - who cares? The masses choose what is right and good, the creators just create.
The only reason this game was stopped was because a certain corporation didn't want anyone else making money off of something they feel is theirs. But it never was theirs - it was the ideas of hundreds of different people - the majority of whom probably no longer receive paychecks from Square-Enix.
That's patents, sir. Patents do not belong in areas like software, for example. They generally are just plain wrong, there is no excuse, let alone reason, for justifying patents.
The length of copyright just needs to be reduced to something reasonable like 50 years, and things could be re-copyrightable that have lost copyright like every 15 years unless they have been made public domain by the copyright holder at the end of the copyright.
People are selfish and so they want some way to protect their intellectual property, this is served pretty well by copyrights.
You just won a basket of E-cookies. ^^
Seymour13 Patents are the greater evil here, you know.
handofstand potato potato, all boils down to the same screwed up notion. ;)
Seymour13 No actually you're thinking of Anarchy or something similar, that's not what I was talking about.
what the??!! who are these people?? they are amazing!! even better than square enix staffs.. oh my god.. would've been a great game
Thanks Whang! For getting this recommended to my home page
Pc, Wii U, 3ds, PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox One....this project COULD HAVE been a gold mine! i wish i can meet these people and shake their hands this would have been a great game the fans would buy in a heartbeat. Square Enix should have given these people a job!
Thank you Square Enix!
Don't worry we get FF 10 3 instead
Lt Ultima Great! Wonderful! ... but I think that Chrono Resurrection could have been more popular.
~Tatsu
Tatsu T. Koraeru I think he was being sarcastic there.
Fuck you Squeenix!
@@MisterSpeedStacking yeah, i hope square Enix goes to hell
I say fuck 'em. Obviously you can't make $$ from a sequel that isn't your idea, but in the spirit of the gaming community, make it, play it, enjoy it, and be fulfilled by that. Make money another way. If Square want's to be a corporate ass-hat, fuck em'. Make your own games, play them, enjoy life and stop lining the pockets of assholes that don't give a fuck about the game.
THIS NEEDS TO BE RESURRECTED FOR NINTENDO SWITCH
That would be awesome yes :D only if we could !
To bad Square/Enix killed this....still one of my fav games! Looks impressive...good job!
Square destroy everthing....
Community: "Create almost new game, trying to give a second chance to rise and shine the classic, to give people ability to play this game firstly again".
Square Enix: "Release a shitty port of port of port to PC from mobiles and suppress any external opportunity to make something good".
Queria muito que esse projeto tivesse continuado,pena que a square se intrometeu :(
Código Secreto também
Square maldita
This looks a PS2 game! Which is NOT a bad thing, I think it looks great! I wish that this project could have continued... oh well... here’s hoping for an official Chrono Trigger remake.
The concept art looks like a 12 year old's DeviantArt account.
this looked so amazing for a ps2 game.. what the fuck have you done square enix
This looks so awesome
