Yes, you'll find the same art assets, character designs, animations, and effects, but there's also a much stronger script this time overall (impressive, since the original was so imaginative on its own), and a few added aspects of the game for players who have gone the distance with this one before. And it's really more than just a 'quick port' in the end. It's all still just as captivating and touching as it was the first time I played it a true gem of our industry. The storytelling is beautiful, the gameplay is turn-based and filled with both random battles and user-initiated ones, but the flow of it all is one that keeps things moving and entertaining throughout, and more than anything else it's just a game that feels amazingly alive, be it from tracking what players do and in what order to deliver a compelling court scene during the game, adding in race modes for future levels and a game kick-off festival to just run around in and enjoy. This was, still is, and I'd imagine will forever be a game that stands the test of time, and given the platform it's a game that still stands out graphically, even now performing better than most 2D efforts on DS.

Really what it comes down to is whether or not Chrono Trigger holds up on DS, both in the whole 'adding touch and dual screen' side of things, and also in the fact that this is a game that came out in 1995. First off though, I'll give out my two cents. For this review we've done something special, as I played through the game again on DS, having already enjoyed the hell out of Chrono Trigger back on Super NES, but we've also got the opinion of someone that's never touched Chrono Trigger before in our 'Another Take' section. Just know that most of what you'll find was either included on Super NES years back, or in the PSX Final Fantasy Chronicles seven years ago. If you haven't played Chrono Trigger before, are in the mood to play it again, or simply feel you need to own this one to support Square's release of such an amazing game, by all means buy it. It's a port of one of the greatest games of all time, adds more options and user-determined design elements based on touch, buttons, and so on, and it's also a game I can't make blanket statements about and recommend for 100% of the crowd out there.Д¬hrono+Trigger+is+beautiful+for+a+Super+NES+game,+and+for+a+Nintendo+DS+one.++It's+animation,+characters,+and+design+have+stood+the+test+of+time. That doesn't stop these games from being any better quality-wise, but it certainly drops the incentive for returning buyers that have been with Square since the beginning, played it all before, and are now wondering why they're paying top dollar for a game they had over a decade back.Д¬ase in point: Chrono Trigger DS. On the other hand, you've got the still very successful, still very quality-driven publisher strategy, which games like Front Mission 1st, Dragon Quest IV, and the now Chrono Trigger remake take, using 95% of a game already finished (or a basic port away from), and then delivering it repackaged to a new crowd of gamers. On one hand, you've got the Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy IV, The World Ends With You publisher mentality, where the company is aggressively remaking classic games, pushing original content, and cleaning up because of it. I've touched on the idea that there are two ' Square Enix' companies out there and this is another perfect example of that.
