A 3D artist has recreated part of Chrono Trigger in Square Enix’s “HD-2D” style.

Part of Chrono Trigger, the start of the game in Lynne’s place, has been recreated by a fan in a “HD-2D” style, and he shares us the images of his re-creation (available in the tweet below ). It was “dott” who took care of all this, @DottDev on Twitter. He is a Japanese artist and designer specialized in 3D pixels. He is used to recreating old games, often JRPGs, in the recent “HD-2D” style. These are non-playable demos and not available for sale or distribution as the rights do not belong to him. Its purpose is above all to show what remakes of old classics might look like in this style.in addition to training personally.

As a reminder, Chrono Trigger is an RPG developed by Squaresoft (so before the merger with Enix) on Super Nintendo in 1995. The title has benefited from a team worthy of the name with a shock trio: Yūji Horii, creator of the Dragon Quest series. Hironobu Sakaguchi, “dad” of Final Fantasy and Akira Toriyama, creator of Dragon Ball. The game was therefore released during what is considered the “golden age of JRPG” alongside titles such as Final Fantasy VI and Secret of Mana. Still today, Chrono Trigger is, for many people, one of the best JRPGs of all time (92% on Metacritic).

The logical next step?

This demo shows us the potential of such a remake for Chrono Trigger, and the title might really benefit from it. The last “physical” port of the game dates from 2009 with us when it was reissued on DS. And unfortunately, on occasion, the cost of the software is around 150€, which makes it extremely difficult to access the latter in a physical version. However, for a dematerialized version, it is still possible to obtain it on Steam with the texts in French. A “HD-2D” remake of Chrono Trigger, in addition to a new graphic proposal, might allow new people to discover one of the greatest classics of the Super NES.

After the success of both Octopath Traveler, and the remakes of Live a Live and Dragon Quest III, such an overhaul wouldn’t be unlikely. It should also be taken into account that another episode of the series, Chrono Cross, also benefited from a remake last year. What is certain is that in view of the comments under the tweet of “dott”, it is that many people would be eager to see such a project officially arrive on consoles like the Switch. It only remains to hope that Square Enix is ​​excited regarding such a project!
