Chrono Trigger rated - "A" in EGM

Here's a breif rundown-

1. character designs, backdrops, soundtrack, and team-work based Tech system all preserved
2. cutscenes from PS1 rerelease are included
3. script polished a bit
4. new names for items and techs
5. touch screen functions convenient, but inessential
6. dual screen setup "creates breathing room in the battlefield for text boxes and spell effects, while it aslso improves inventory and party management"
7. two new dungeons
8. monster-raising mini-game clever, but slows momentum 

ugh. cut scenes included.

why can't they just put the original on one screen and not mess with anything. just because there are two screens you don't need to use them both.

Despite everything mentioned in the first post, it's still not worth 30 bucks. F22_King_Raptor

Dude, the cut scenes are the best!

the cut scenes themselves are good quality, and i do love akira toriyama's style, and forgive me for saying this, but cut scenes are so PS1, those kind of full motion video things i guess were okay in the psone compilation (which i can't actually play anymore because of the loading times) but square had a chance to bring the classic game, as it was on the SNES, to gamers when the only other choices they had were a somewhat crippled psone port and $100 on ebay please! they could have released it on the wii shopping channel. instead they try to make a deluxe version on a small screen, with cut scene interuptions and charge £30 for it? no thanks.

i don't like being bitter or being a puritan, but i guess partly i am.

Is A an 9.5 by EGM standards?

Anyway great news. Getting this first day. 

Where's everyone getting the $30? Link?MAILER_DAEMON

Yeah I thought it was $40, did they decide to drop the price?

Ugh, I really don't want to be buying another "remake" when there are a lot of new original titles that desreve attention but just hearing the Music sucks me in.forgot_it

i might be biased, but i personally think people who have got or played the snes version, or have the psone version should boycott the sale of the DS port. people who have never played the game deserve a chance to buy it, but gamers who've played CT already shouldn't buy it because that would be telling square enix that is was okay to just re-release a 14 year old game at $40.

i wouldn't complain if they released it on wii shopping channel for $12 or whatever, but they're just taking advantage of the nostalgia.

it's just annoying. my only real choices to play the game are the DS version that isn't very portable and i can't imagine the small screen being able to show off the large sprites, not sure about how great the sound is either (maybe good with headphones), and the expensive snes version which i can't afford and isn't really that easy to get a hold of.

and i can't tolerate the loading times in the psone version, so i don't consider that a real option.

it's worth 30 bucks more than the snes one is worth 50+ on ebay, seeing how it's improved.

wow not so not much a direct port.

im getting...ofcourse i am, i pre-ordered;)

Despite everything mentioned in the first post, it's still not worth 30 bucks. F22_King_Raptor

Imo, it is worth more than that. I'd happily pay $50.

what is this now the thrid system it is being released on...and its selling for full price...it should be a $19.99 game. i would pay that most likely.

nonsense. you can still think something is great without buying it. 

Only eleven more days.

I'm psyched for this game.

You either have to play this version or the orginal SNES CT, don't go anywhere near Chrono Cross.Lord_Omikron666

Chrono Cross is awesome just not as awesome as Chrono Trigger. 

Yeah gamepro mag gave it a 5 out of to.

i can't wait to check this game out.
