30 years ago on March 11th, 1995, the game “Chrono Trigger” was launched in Japan for the Super Famicom (commonly known as the Super Nintendo domestically). Today marks its anniversary, and Square Enix is commemorating this milestone by hinting at numerous projects related to the game over the next year. While they haven’t revealed exact details yet, fans are eagerly anticipating what could be coming up. This news should bring joy to lovers of the timeless RPG series.
Chrono Trigger, a classic video game, is frequently hailed as one of the best ever made and often tops lists for games launched on Super Nintendo. Over time, this game has been re-released on platforms such as the original PlayStation and Nintendo DS. Surprisingly, however, it’s yet to appear on modern gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch, PS5, or Xbox. Although you can play Chrono Trigger on iOS, Android, Steam, fans are hoping that Square Enix will commemorate its anniversary by making it available on these newer systems. As of now, no such announcement has been made.
As a gaming enthusiast who’s new to the scene, lemme share some fascinating trivia about Chrono Trigger. This game was a masterpiece back in its day, and it had an incredible team behind it. Square, the developers, managed to gather Hironobu Sakaguchi, the brainchild of Final Fantasy, and Yuji Horii, who created Dragon Quest. The artwork was done by none other than Akira Toriyama, a name synonymous with Dragon Ball and Dragon Quest. Other talented individuals on the team included directors Takashi Tokita and Yoshinori Kitase. If you’re a fan of Square Enix, you might recognize Yoshinori Kitase; he recently served as the producer for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
The influence of “Chrono Trigger” on the role-playing game (RPG) genre and the video game industry cannot be understated. While a complete remake might seem unlikely, fans are eagerly anticipating something similar to an HD-2D remake, as was released for “Dragon Quest III” last year, or simply a re-release. Given the longing of fans for this, it seems like the ideal moment to make it happen. At the minimum, new merchandise is likely to be unveiled.
Whatever Square Enix has up its sleeve, eager fans can only anticipate with bated breath. The company’s announcement, while cryptic, offers numerous possibilities to make this anniversary extraordinary. Though Chrono Trigger may not carry the same weight as a series like Final Fantasy, it holds deep sentiments for countless gamers. Here’s hoping Square Enix acknowledges its significance and goes all out to celebrate this milestone in style.
