It deeply annoys me that Squeenix keeps contracting these same people do these shitjobs. Do they have no love for their games? Do they not care about their legacy? Goddamn it.
Nice tiling errors in the trees.

Chrono Trigger is on Steam (Fan patches now being released)
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
Despite the issues with this port, I hope that this eventually leads to Final Fantasy Tactics and DQ4-6 mobile ports on Steam.
Especially DQ4-6 mobile as they run in Unity, and I imagine that it wouldn't be too hard for Square to find a team that could make decent PC versions out of them.

Why does Square hate their legacy? Sigh.
I mean, they play up their classics in stuff like Final Fantasy 14 but the actual re-releases are half-assed garbage, FF12 excluded.

They could have crapped out the ROM of this game with an SNES emulator and it would have been better for everyone who has any interest in this game. This project should just be cancelled. Who is in charge of decisions like this at Square-Enix? Why do they insist on completely ruining their past at nearly every opportunity?
They want to make money with zero work...but I don't think they realize...good ports won't cost them a lot to make and would sell like hotcakes.
i understand the hate, but how can i play the snes version, its so expensive, same the ds versions. i dont have much options without being a pirate. this or mobile are the only ways i can play it now :(
No company sabotages their own project to make another project of theirs look better. This is just a straight mobile-to-PC port, which Square Enix is guilty of doing before.
I mean, it's what Sega does for all the Genesis games they put out on steam. They give you the roms wrapped up in an emulator, and you can just put those in whatever emulator you want if you don't like the standard version. They even made a thing where there's a 3D frontend for the emulator, where you're sitting in a room going through your library.
Does anybody know if the mobile/PC port has the DS translation/script? I've owned the DS version for years but never played it. I'd like to play this on the big screen and I'm sure the DS version of Chrono Trigger still sells for a decent amount on eBay.
The filters don't look as egregious as the hack-job they pulled on FFVI, so I may be able to stomach them or at least patch them out with a mod. It would certainly look better than staring at a 3DS screen.

I mean, they're clearly capable of it:
I can only assume sales don't match the cost of a decent upgrade...
Because honestly some people like it (yuck) and they know those who don't can and will just emulate the original version.
Obviously I'd prefer the original SNES game with some good filter options and Steam achievements but eh, whatever. I've learned to not expect much from the Square ports after paying money for 5.
Before I see what this FF7 Style Remake actually plays like...I don't want that.
Hm. Maybe once there are mods to remove the touchscreen UI and fix the graphics, I'll buy it. Really want to demonstrate that this series still has legs, and I want to play it again (it's been years), but god damn.
The mobile UI is really the worst offender. It cannot have been hard to remove that; leaving it in just screams "cheap", which makes the $15 asking price pretty fucking ridiculous.

It's weird because they're competing with free, for both the SNES and DS port.
Square Enix Executive: "People seem really pleased with the PC version of Final Fantasy XV so far... Quick, release a completely sub-par port of Chrono Trigger out of nowhere!"
Purchase this and emulate the SNES or DS version? I'm not sure what the site's stance is on stuff like that.
It's such a shame to see what happened to Square's ports. That DS version is lovely.
Honestly, I'd just wait for the inevitable mods to remove the filter and replace the font. With those changes it should look more like the SNES version.

They need to port these over to the Switch and then remake V, VI, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana like this also. I'd buy each at $40.
Why doesn't Sqaure Enix have more pride in their work? They like putting out this trash?
Are these all the same game? What version is this?

Hey heres why I'm going to buy this:
When I played CT as a kid on a CRT TV, it wasn't "crisp pixels". It was blended RGB dots that created a smooth overall aesthetic. SOMETIMES we played it on crappy color TVs that weren't even all that big or were starting to fade or the tint was off etc. Game was still rocking regardless
I don't have a problem with the FF6 remaster visuals also, it's like: The game is there, in wide screen, same script you know - I'm cool with it. It's really not a hideous grotesque garbage pail kid everyone made it out to be.
IS IT TOO MUCH MONEY FOR A MOBILE PORT? This can be debated. Still gonna get it though considering how much I just spent on a pair of Jordans I'm not going to wear for months.
This is like $15 though, that's like buying lunch or snacks for a day. Just don't hemorrhage money at 7-11 today and voila CT:PC:Special Edition is yours! Guys! Guys????

I have never played Chrono Trigger and was excited to try it for the first time but I quickly became disappointed reading the reviews. I will gladly pay for a good version.
No artist went anywhere near this port.
Just some luckless minimum wage intern probably.
These are the PSP 20th Anniversary versions of Final Fantasy 1 and 2 and the PSP Final Fantasy IV Complete version of FFIV.
