10 Obvious Video Game Remakes The Industry Is Ignoring

10. Chrono Trigger

For the longest time, role-players never sold well outside of Japan. But when Final Fantasy VII became a global phenomenon, gamers across the globe found a newfound love for the genre.

Not only did RPGs became more popular than ever, many classic turn-based games were re-released. Over the years, Secret of Mana, Trials of Mana, and various Final Fantasy titles were remastered or remade.

So, when is Chrono Trigger getting its due?

By today's standards, Square's beloved RPG for is still pretty much perfect. After experiencing the game's creative combat, well-written characters, the flawless world-building, and Nobuo Uematsu's gorgeous score, it's impossible not to fall in love with it.

Which brings me back to my original question - Where. Is. The. Chrono. Trigger. Remake?

After its sequel, Chrono Cross, was re-released in 2022, you'd think it would've generated some buzz about redoing its predecessor. Instead, Square Enix put all their chips in and bet on Marvel's Avengers, Babylon's Fall, and Forspoken. (Look how well they turned out?)

The fact the developers have never tried to breathe life back into Chrono Trigger isn't just upsetting - it's an insult.
