Huzzah!
So if Japan's getting it later this year... When do we get a localized release? Wish Square Enix would reveal more... and man am I dying for a screenshot right now
From what it looks like, it seems to be "just another port" (with some bonus material), but I really want to see how they're going to bring dual screen functionality into the game.
Also... I wonder if the anime cutscenes from the PS1 re-release will be in the DS version too. Sigh... Good times, good times...
now we can have a classic game on the go!!!!
The wireless thing sounds very interesting, but it sounds like it's just gonna be a straight port which, to be honest, is incredibly disappointing. I've already played through it about 4 times now. With the Final Fantasy games being updated, I would've loved for this to be updated too.
We should all be happy that it isn't a sequal or port to/of Chrono Cross. I'd prefer if it's 2d, with HQ sound. A direct port isn't that bad, considering the game is more than ten years old. What we need is CT2 =) writing out the story that CC added. Izuna out
I am sorry, but just one more dungeon and a touch screen interface (and possibly better sound) will not be enough to revive this classic. I mean, EVERYBODY has played this game to death already and knows the plot and various areas by heart now. What this game needs is more content. By content I mean a larger world to explore, at least 10 new dungeons, plenty of side quests, and perhaps a couple of new characters who are as bad ass as Magus.
I am not saying rewrite the story or do anything that requires an overhaul of the game, but when people purchase this game they will more likely do so if it is more than just a straight port with a couple of bells and whistles.
