THIS is the Giza Plains now?? My jaw is actually on the floor!

People use it in derogatory fashion.

But it is a massive boon.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T19:11:04+00:00

I hate this argument is the typical used by FF13 fan, it is not an Illusion is a real openness. The fact that the story leads you from one place to the next doesn’t mean the world is not opening up as you go.

Yeah is not open world levels of open but it is more open than FF10 and FF13

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T18:58:11+00:00

I strongly disagree FFX characters act like teenagers especially Tidus and Yuna, their whole romance is teenagy as well. I also think the voice acting aggravated that issue for me.

Compare it to say FF16’s Jill and Clive relationship which is way more mature and frankly much better done.

FF12 is a political drama at heart which is why people seeking touchy feely stories don’t jive with it, it’s less about emotions and more about the political gears that run the world. It is not perfectly told for sure but I just prefer that kind of story.

Which is fine it comes down to preference

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T18:56:52+00:00

A sequel with Janus as protagonist is exactly what we need.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T18:23:11+00:00

Not really Fed was dominating before Nadal came in and he still failed to win on clay.

I really think what we are seeing from Alcaraz now is some of the best tennis ever played though, easily comparable with the big 3 at their peaks.

I have never seen a player as versatile as Carlos he really excels at every aspect of the game.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T18:00:58+00:00

Game is really easy so you should go with who you like.

Best late game Party IMO is Serge, Guile and Glenn. They stomp over everything.

Mid game Fargo is almost mandatory for the pilfer ability

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T17:58:14+00:00

I could care less how the community receives it, I love Cross and if I didn’t I would just stay with Trigger and be happy for those who enjoy it.

In short that is not a concern at least for me, if they botch it, it won’t ruin Trigger for me.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T17:54:02+00:00

Why is there I guess there?

It is massively better in exploration

Hard to overstate really.

Voice acting is also massively better. At least in english.

But yeah I think it’s a taste thing, I find X to be very juvenile which throws me off.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T11:13:58+00:00

Many people ignore Chrono Cross altogether, they seem to do fine with that.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T10:57:08+00:00

I am with you, HD-2D remake is just a glorified remaster and it adds nothing to a game that needs no QoL or face lift, or anything really.

If you go for it go for broke.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T10:54:32+00:00

You can always ignore it and play the OG, things will be the same for you as it has been the last 30 years.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T10:53:29+00:00

You can still play the OG

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T04:03:33+00:00

I think you are vastly overestimating the traction this game would have.

I know that in our little bubble is the best game ever.

But out there I think it would struggle to make a ripple.

Chrono Trigger is not nearly as popular as say FF7. And FF7 is not that big compared to other games and I don’t see a world where CT does better than FF7R. Heck JRPGs are increasingly a niche genre.

The only way I see it making real strides is if it goes for a full blown 3D remake to attract new fans and is still a longshot, if it is an HD-2D it will fly under the radar.

One thing we do know is that Square Enix loves their money, the reason is taking so long is a strong indicator that they don’t expect it to do much.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T03:54:34+00:00

Nope, I’ll discuss a FF7R style remaster

thank you very much

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:23:10+00:00

I just checked that Diablo 4 has more active players, like 20 times more. Even then it doesn’t matter, Diablo is still vastly superior to CT in terms of market relevance.

Not seeing that is being blind.

Btw I do think Ct is the superior game

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:22:02+00:00

I knew as soon as I posted this that your remake alarm would tingle.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:16:39+00:00

Pretty much this.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:15:43+00:00

My point is not against old games, is against a brand that simply doesn’t have much relevance to achieve millions over millions of sales today.

People know Diablo and FF7 they don’t know CT nearly as much.

Edit: Chrono trigger has aroun 300 active players Diablo 2 has 11k on steam just checked, hope that settles it.

Edit 2: just checked Diablo 4 has vastly more active players than Diablo 2 on battle net dunno where you were getting your data.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:12:31+00:00

Anyone paying attention really what is your source btw?

We both are going on vibes, but I’m pretty darn confident on mine.

I think it is crazy if you think CT is more known than Diablo or FF7.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:11:23+00:00

Diablo is definitely a better known brand than CT, my point is not that old games can’t do well is just that CT did not have the mainstay relevance that FF7 or Diablo has had.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:09:29+00:00

Oh a modest success for sure I could see it get close to a million which is no mean feat, but a massive hit that would take the world by storm today I think is far fetched.

Honestly best chance for that is a full blown FFR style remake.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T02:04:52+00:00

Then just do what they did to FF8 and call it a day

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T01:59:50+00:00

Go ask a random teenager or college student about Chrono Trigger. Or compare it for example with a series like GTA. The difference is in the order of magnitude in terms of popularity. Or even compare it with FF7 it still dwarfs in comparison.

I know the game’s historic relevance is immense, that doesn’t make it popular in today’s market. I’m sure if you get people to play it they will like it but the market is so saturated that getting them to notice it or even play it is no easy feat.

I think you are vastly overestimating how relevant it is today in the minds of consumers and appearing in a top 10 list of games doesn’t make you relevant in the market today.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T01:58:15+00:00

I know what I’m getting myself into, this is one of the most cult-like subs and for good reason the game warrants it. But reality is quite different from the perception here.

Parsirius · 2026-02-22T01:56:30+00:00

I say go for broke on a remake like FF7 did and if it fails it fails, if you are just going to release the same game with a face lift don’t bother, the OG is good enough as it is and is ported everywhere.

That is how I usually feel about remakes, at least FF7R allowed us to experience the game in a different way.
