Yuji Horii, man. This guy just can’t keep a lid on things, and honestly, I’m kind of here for it. So, here’s the scoop—or maybe it’s not? Who knows.
Alright, picture this: I’m at a comic con in Napoli—never been, but I hear it’s wild—and there’s Horii, just casually maybe dropping bombs about a Chrono Trigger remake. Yeah, you read that right. Folks in the panel were all ears when Horii, who’s like a legend from the “Dream Team” behind the game, casually hints at a redo for the 30th anniversary. The host’s like, “Wait, can you confirm?” and Horii’s all mysterious, covering his mouth. Classic move. Translator jumps in with a “you heard nothing,” which, you know, just stirs the crowd into a frenzy. I would’ve loved to see that.
Here’s the thing, Horii’s got a track record for these accidental reveals. Back in 2015, the guy basically spilled the beans on Dragon Quest VII and VIII making it out of Japan for the 3DS. How did nobody stop him then? Plus, he let slip that Dragon Quest XI would hit the “NX” (the mysterious Switch back then) even before it got its PS4 and 3DS launch buzz. It’s like, is this on purpose? Or does he just love chatting too much? Can’t tell.
So—get this—on March 11, which is like the exact day that marks Chrono Trigger’s 30 years in Japan, Square Enix teased us, saying more is coming for the anniversary. But did they spill any deets? Nope. Nothing. Nada. Which leaves us all guessing and, maybe too hopeful for a remake that’s possibly on the horizon thanks to Horii’s loose lips. Or not. We’ll see, I guess.
