SnowxSakura Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) As a surprise to everyone, chrono trigger was just released on steam a few minutes ago. It costs 15 dollars until april 2nd and is based off the mobile version https://www.polygon.com/2018/2/27/17058294/chrono-trigger-windows-pc-release-date-trailer-steam it has 13 achievements and they all appear to be story related Edited February 27, 2018 by SnowxSakura 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1rvine Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Sweet, maybe they'll re-release it similar to how they did with Final Fantasy VII / IX on PS4. Truth be told though, I'd rather it be a Vita game if they do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zondares Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Super gross. Play Chrono Trigger, everyone, but for the love of Time ... do not go near the mobile / Steam version. If you only have a PS3, Vita, or PSP, the horribly slow PSOne Classics version is preferable to it, and really isn’t that bad. Otherwise, you have a little less than a year to buy the SNES version on Wii Virtual Console, the Nintendo DS version is still relatively affordable, and obviously original SNES carts still exist. Heck, emulate it if you’re super cheap and desperate, but don’t give Square Enix any money for their crummy mobile ports. They need to put more effort into preserving their classics, without turning them into blurry pixel blobs covered with ATM UIs. Chrono Trigger is, in my opinion, the greatest game ever made. A few lousy achievements aren’t worth spoiling soiling what should be a completely magical experience.

mecharobot Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 A surprise release is not really a positive thing when talking about legendary tier classics. Even Secret of Mana gets better treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it was less than 3.5 years ago, just checked. But it probably means nothing as they rated the PSP version of Dariusburst in 2010, and we had to wait until Chronicle Saviours to play it properly...

You should double check, the first post that spotted the rating was in 2009 on a castlevania blog https://web.archive.org/web/20161202154347/http://castlemaniablog.com/?p=4868 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ojama_Country Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 On one hand, i hope this means it gets a PS4 release as well, because re-playing Chrono Trigger while also getting trophies for it sounds good. On the other hand, it's another zero-effort mobile port, because SE has forgotten how to do things good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GizmoCat79 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 It’s a shame it has only story trophies. There’s a lot of side content and special chests that could have been linked to achievements. Zero effort by Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBloodmoney Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 I’ve played through the game on the ipad version - it’s fine. Nothing wrong with it, and certainly nothing that would detract from what is arguably the best game of all time. I would love to see this come to PS4.

ShadowStar83x Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 All the achievements are for getting the game's endings. Dream's Epilogue was in the DS version, the rest in the original SNES version. Dream's Epilogue ties Chrono Cross and Chrono Trigger together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shame, too - Chrono Trigger is such a great game. I liked some of the ideas of the PS1 version (the EXTRA data, which told you about all of the endings, was pretty neat). 18 hours ago, mecharobot said: A surprise release is not really a positive thing when talking about legendary tier classics. Agreed. I mean, this is Chrono Trigger, a game that for many (myself included) invokes the heyday of Squaresoft. Together with Final Fantasy III (VI in Japan), you are talking about two of the single greatest games ever to be released. So, to celebrate, you just slip it onto the store with no fanfare?

The SNES days of Squaresoft were the golden age of jrpgs. The DS version is truly the superior version of Chrono Trigger, and I would recommend it to anyone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
