Sure thing! Here we go:

So, here’s a funny thing. Yuji Horii—yeah, that guy who helped dream up Chrono Trigger—was at a shindig in Naples, yammering about possibly revamping this game people can’t stop yapping about. Why? Well, apparently fans have been yelling for it louder than my neighbor’s dog at 3 a.m. Anyway, Horii casually drops he’s giving it a thought. Of course, this fuels the rumor mill like crazy on social media. People love their nostalgia, right?
Alright, picture this: it was 1995, the SNES was king, and Chrono Trigger burst onto the scene with this “Dream Team” behind it. You got Horii, then Final Fantasy’s brainchild Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame (RIP, legend). It’s like a supergroup forming up for an epic RPG adventure. Time travel, saving worlds, all that jazz. We met Crono, Marle, Lucca…the squad. The game’s known for its cool battle tactics and multiple endings (seriously, you could play it a dozen times and still stumble on something fresh) and the tunes—ah, Yasunori Mitsuda nailed that soundtrack. Give it a listen, if you haven’t. Just…wow.
Now, get this. So, somebody must’ve bumbled a translation somewhere because rumors about this remake started snowballing faster than you can say “lost in translation.” Spanish media GameReactor and everyone’s favorite gossip forum, r/GamingLeaksAndRumors, toss in their tidbits about Horii’s musings. Oh yeah, seems like those HD-2D games from Square Enix might’ve been the nudge he needed. Think Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake as a comparison. Naples was buzzin’, but people might’ve jumped the gun on what he actually said.
So here’s where things get wacky. Horii’s like, “Sure, I’m game for it, if you all keep poking me about it.” Probably paraphrasing here, but that’s the vibe. By the way, the game’s turning 30 in 2025! Man, I feel old. Anyway, Square Enix hasn’t come out swinging with an official “heck yeah” or “nah” about this remake. Horii’s busy tinkering with Dragon Quest stuff, too—number 12 is in the works or something, plus revamping the first two. It’s like they never sleep. Yeah, info will leak out “little by little”—aggravating, if you ask me.
Oh, but mark your calendar, will you? Chrono Trigger’s hitting that big 3-0 soon. Not that it’s a deadline or anything, but timing, man! It might just be the right time to crank out an updated Chrono Trigger for all those clamoring fans. Fingers crossed, right? Let’s see if Square Enix decides to pull the trigger on this…or just tease us endlessly.
