When I saw that watch (clock?) ticking, I thought they were releasing a new sequel for the Chrono series! It almost gave me an heart attack.   And then... deep disappointment.

I'm excited.
 
But I'm the biggest CT fangirl ever ever ever and will just buy it to have the new features, multiplayer and dual screen crap.
 
I'll admit it's dumb, but hey, as long as it doesn't suffer from Chronicles slowdown, I'll be fine.
 
Square knows they can't do jack shit with Chrono Trigger besides remake the original over and over. Look at Cross. Game sucked. (it wasn't THAT bad but it was no Trigger)
 
Unless they get Horii, Toriyama and the rest together again...

Well Shodan, I must say I totally disagree (even 90% of the fans prefer Trigger over Cross). The only game I like more than CT is FF 7.

Ugh, already been, already seen.
They should at least port Radical Dreamers or some other game we havent seen to death before.

Calling FF VII horrible? LOL! What do you think about Vagrant Story? I just saw my earlier reply, it should say: "The only game I like more than Chrono Cross is FF VII (not Chrono Trigger)".

I was never that into Chrono Trigger, I can pass on this.

I'm not even that much of a fan, but I'd have to disagree.  This is one of those games that honestly, in my opinion, plays just as well as any "modern" game.  I think from the 16-bit era, there are just a handful of RPGs that really hit the mark, as far as pacing, story, sound, and if nothing else, certainly the "fun factor" are concerned.  I mean, honestly, when you look at games like Lunar Eternal Blue, there hasn't been any successor to speak of since it's debut in 95.  The game still plays beautifully, even in its most primitive form, and in my opinion, is way more enjoyable than a lot of the swill that has been coming our way lately.  Honestly, most of the newer rpgs I've been picking up kind of suck compared to the games I played "in my youth."  I don't think it's even sentimentality.  I think it's mostly just the half-hearted attempts to make old new.  
 
Given that this probably won't have slowdown like the PS port, I am pretty excited to get to play it on my DS.  I was a Sega kid, so I never played Chrono Trigger on the SNES, but I really enjoyed it in FFChronicles, except the slowdown.  The pick up in the pacing will be appreciated, and I am really interested to see how the touch screen will add to the gameplay.

Lunar next to its contemporaries is a gem.  Call me a sucker, but I think it's where Working Designs shined.  If you experienced Eternal Blue on the Sega CD, then it was anything but mediocre.  I think the PSX remakes left plenty to be desired, although both were still extremely enjoyable in my opinion.  
 
I mean, yeah, The Silver Star was really rough, especially in retrospect, but even if you choose to "poo poo" that, everyone's entitled to a piece of shit once in a while.  I mean, let me put it this way.  There's a charm to the original Lunar titles, especially captured in their respective casts, that has never graced a single Square Enix game.

They re-did the soundtrack, graphics and animation, and re-wrote the backstory and history of Lunar. Also, the main game is slightly shorter.
