How are those graphics polished?
How are those graphics polished?
Okay, now that there's an HQ scan, it's clear.
At first it looked like the colours where in a different scheme than on SNES and the map looked kind of different. (Still the colour-thing.)
Now it's clear, they are not.
I read, eitherway on Gamespot or somewhere else, that the graphics are supposed to be polished, so with that post in mind and seeing the cam-pics my brain connected things, which weren't there.
My mistake, I'm sorry.
EDIT:
They added a real countdown to it:

So, it is monday, July 7th, new information should surface, then.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dreams DO come true :o
isn't this the same as the "remake" for psx? i mean there's only the new dungeon, the graphics look the same. The only last hope is the music…
The Playstation one only had added anime cutscenes didn't it?
The PS version has some other features good & bad.
I knew Lavos would one day resurface and put an end to this Age of bad games!
Your kind of Lumping a few good games that were actually good in there.
The "good" can hardly shine with so much "bad" being dumped all over them.
Like the Wii =P.
Just curious Sandai, do you actually have a Wii?
Not that I know of.

Nice promo, a couple of things tho-
1- Why the heck was Chrono's name Crono in the English releases of the game?
2- Why the heck does Robo look so…thin...
3- They need to at least change the SFX of attacks and spells, but other than that, the game is fine IMO.
4- I lol-ed as to how Magus was never shown among the cast XD.
Alright S-E USA, get ur asses in gear and get this gem ready for an enlgish release already! THINK OF THE PROFITS!
well, i know it was "crono" in the US, cause the slots for the names in the game was 5. thus, they couldn't spell the name right in the actual game. But for everything else, (ads, instruction booklet, etc.) I'm sure they spelled it with the H.
I more wonder, why Frog and Ayla have different names in the Japanese version. Translation seems a lame reason to me, as they didn't change marle, or lucca. and even robo is robo, which is english. (not that I know what frog is in japanese. maybe it's his name, like glen)
and tizoc, I'm sorry, but I just have to comment. your ava just stands out, and it's so bizare and silly. @_@ though, i bet that's why you like it. :P
Kind of dissapointed actually.. i was more or less hoping for a good looking console remake. Would've been badass to see the Chrono World in 3d, with cool looking fights. *imagines all dual and triple techs in 3d"

Eira/Ayla:
It's the simple L and R exchange. As in… Raito/Light from Death Note. So Ayla is fine.
And well, Kaeru means Frog in Japanese, so this one's also fine. ^^
I hope I was able to clear things up a little bit.

as much as i'd love a re-make. I'd suggest to keep dreaming. they'd rather give a so-so, sequel (sort of..) that throws a bunch of pointless characters in our face and turn the main character into a stupid looking lycan for half the game. many more things, including a really crummy plot and no real time-travel (correct me on this, its been a while) made me just have to move on.
(in case you didn't know, i was talking about Chrono Cross)
oh and Lucca dies in a fire…. woo-hoo...
But to be positive, next-gen chrono cross would look sick! imagine the graphics of Burst Limit for akira toriyama's characters! the game would look amazing!
with Square enix putting all its classics on DS,
is there a chance Earthbound or Mother series could go to DS in the US?
4- I lol-ed as to how Magus was never shown among the cast XD.
Considering that you wind up opposing Magus at first I believe that's why.

Probably not considering those are Nintendo games, not Square.

well now i know for sure kaeru means frog, but then why did they translate robo. where's the consistancy.
and Eira still doesn't make sense to me even with the R/L rule. Why wouldn't it be Ayra then?
thanks though.
Kaeru is for the double meaning (to return + frog).
Who cares about Eira/Ayla? Besides, it least I didn't pronounce that one all the way until I got the Japanese game like everyone I knew (including me) who pronounced "Marle" as MARLEY (the could have dropped the 'e' at the end).
Actually, I am glad that this is in 2d. They won't be able to screw it up now and make it look awkward with some cheap LQ 3d graphics (everyone on all the other game forums are bitching because its in 2d….guess they didn't really like Chrono Trigger originally then...)
(everyone on all the other game forums are bitching because its in 2d….guess they didn't really like Chrono Trigger originally then...)
Don't think that's the complete reason they're probably bitching about the old graphics because they want it to be in 3D or spruced up a bit more.

There's no new info from what I can tell, or could it be that new video from yesterday?
If so thats disappointing. :(

That's it… The only thing we got to see, was that trailer... Yeah, a little bit disappointing.
I uh, I hope that new dungeon
is badass and the wireless play is amazing. Because I`m in no way excited about playing the same game, no matter how amazing it is, yet AGAIN.
They need to add more stuff with Zeal. Zeal had such awesome potential, especially the "Sealed Weapons" crap, and it seems like they had to cut a lot of it out. Plus, Dalton had potential to be an amazing boss battle… and he just gets sucked into the void because he tried to summon King Golem, which you already killed? Lame.
A lame end for a lame character.
@Sandai:
A lame end for a lame character.
Personal opinion, I guess. He was my second favorite character from the Zeal time, with Janus (young Magus) being my favorite. I guess it was just his over the top attitude that I liked.
Damn, I go away for 2 weeks and I get bombarded with a crapload of good news!
I'm glad that this takes after the Dragon Quest remakes and has upgraded 2D graphics. Because let's face it, 3D would probably be a complete overhaul of the entire game.
No upgraded graphics.
@Sandai:
Like the Wii =P.
Why Yes.
(everyone on all the other game forums are bitching because its in 2d….guess they didn't really like Chrono Trigger originally then...)
Shame.

I'm Glad they just tweaked the 2D graphics, coz something tells me, if they changed it into 3D graphics, they would keep meshing with it, then figure they should mess with the story line, then add characters, then mesh with the story line again, then added more characters, and then we would have something, that we all would call, another garbage sequel.
Some new pictures, but not showing anything "NEW". Maybe the whole article tells us something interesting, but well, i don't understand Japanese…
So... Uhm... Greg? XP
!
!
maybe it's just been a long time, but the graphics look a little more rich and detailed.
I just read that the English version is going to have a new translation and that the controls are the same as the original (if you choose not to use the touch screen). Also, you can make the game play on a single screen if you want.
News:
The game will feature the animated-PS-One cutscenes… Which is a huge let-down for me. I didn't like them at all, and the "ordinary" 2D-graphics cut-scenes were just HUGE in their own way.
It really sucks.
I'm unmoved by this news so long as it means they don't look as FUCKING TERRIBLE on the DS as they did on the PS. It was like watching a flipbook.
Seeing that trailer for CT just made realize what good work and effort Toriyama put in Robo's artwork/design.

You can turn them off.
Fuck Yeah! This was my favorite game that I had played since 1996. I'm so gonna buy it.

Really? Fuck man, that kind of really blows.
Is it really that bad?
For all we know they could fix whatever was wrong with them.
Oh and if no one already knows the game drops on November 25th.
I just got my 2nd DS about 3 weeks ago.
(went on vacation, my first one got broke, damn pipe broke and water went all over the place :sad:)
so i cant wait to get this, i heard good things.
is 11/25 the japan release date?
because ill wait until next year for the US release
(guess imports are not multi language anymore)

That's the US release date.
@Sandai:
That's the US release date.
It is?
Cool!
makes note to add it to pre rental list
I hope Chandelier stayed in the game( it was Frogs or the main heros sp.Att.)
EIDT: must be the gamefly release date
they said its not out until 12/30
I liked the anime cutscenes when I first played the PS port. But, I'd probably think that they'd look awful if I saw them now. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Megaman X4)

The only thing that fucked those up were the voice acting.
