I agree. When ever I see Toriyama's work in anything I can automatically be like "Hey that looks like -random DBZ person" which really kills everything. Every time I looked at Chrono I thought like, Irish Goku and Marle was Bulma, and Ironically so was Lucca. Then Frog in his human form was Trunks, and Magus was vegeta. What's worse is that if it wasn't for the fact they had SLIGHTLY different styles of clothes, if you just looked at head shots and changed the color of their hair, they would all be identicle.

Yeah, I'm not too much of a fan of his work because everything he draws looks exactly the same, but I mainly just wanted voices and more personality in the characters. Especially wanted to see Frog draw the Masamune in 3D.

Seriously, tell me that's not freakin' epic!

I actually though it was The World Ends With You and the upcoming Last Remenants that REdeemed Square, not the remakes, but thats just me.

And all I really want are a few more double and Triple techs in this game.

Hell, if there was ever a Chrono Cross remake or port, I would demand more double techs. No way in hell it sits well with me that Trigger and its 7 characters had more double techs then Cross and it's what, 20 some odd characters?

Point is, ports like this are pretty much the same thing SE has been doing for a while now. I'm surprised people (and not just people here, it's like this on every RPG board I've been to) are viewing this one in a more optimistic light.

I'm optimistic, because I love this freaking game. I had to play it on the crappy PS port. Which was awful. It made it unbearable to get through a single playthrough with its incredible loading and saving times. Yes, it does matter. As for finding one on the SNES thats not going to happen, and if I'm going to rebuy this game, I wouldn't mind having something a little extra tbh.

Its mainly for fanboys. :P

Yeah. Jeez. It really hurts my head when people complain about companies like Capcom and Square re-releasing and rehashing old games in an attempt to just harvest money. It would be one thing if they were just money-grubbing without giving back anything decent, but for these 2 companies it's not the case. Here are some upcoming non-sequel, non-franchise (and non-cel phone :P) games from Square-Enix that would likely be impossible to properly fund without the continuous income of their rereleases:

Nanashi no Game - DS (came out today in JP, horror game)
Infinite Undiscovery - PS360
The Last Remnant - 360
Sigma Harmonics - DS (Mystery RPG)

Sure, some of you folks may not be interested in any of these, or in The World Ends With You, but that's okay. Square relies on you to buy all their sure-shots so they can continue to make more unique games (or at least recoup some development costs) for those that do want more from them. I vastly prefer this strategy to Atari's, where DBZ is basically all that's keeping them (barely) afloat.

I don't mind if game companies keep 'taking', however shameless it may appear (it is business after all), as long as they 'give' something worthwhile back once in a while.

One thing I don't agree with though, is how Squenix DS games are $10 more than all other 3rd party games, or $5 more than Nintendo's own top quality games. Since there aren't any particularly significant enhancements to Chrono Trigger (like being in 3D), I really hope they don't add their normal 'tax' to the title.

The Akira Toriyama artwork is one of the reasons I abruptly stopped playing Dragon Quest VIII. It's downright awful to look at in my opinion.

I hope they give Magus some double-techs.

Akira Toriyama's characters look fine the first time you see his work. After that, though, you just see three different characters wearing new cloths and hairstyles. I don't know why Japan is so crazy about him.
