Chrono Trigger remains perched upon a JRPG pedestal all these years later, virtually unrivalled in terms of reverence. In a reality in which we already got a Final Fantasy VII Remake, there really is nothing else in that realm more deserving of the remake treatment. Until that happy day finally comes, we can at least better imagine what it would look like, thanks to the work of talented 3D pixel artist Dott.
In the recreation (above), we see the iconic Leene Square recreated in glorious HD-2D. For those that were there at the time of Chrono Trigger's initial launch (1995 on Super Nintendo), seeing the simple transition between what were formerly separate screens is a sight to behold.
What do you think of Dott's interpretation of Chrono Trigger? When does the inevitable announcement come? Dare to dream with us in the comments section below.

Hopefully this will actually be in the not too distant future. I love the art style and combat of the Octopath Traveler games but the disjointed story lines have turned me off from beating either one.
This is beautiful! Maybe one day it'll be reality.
I’d love to replay Chrono Trigger in this style. Possibly my favorite game of all time.
Epic foreshadowing....
Great work, but personally not a huge fan of the overuse of blur in the foreground and background. Find it a bit headache inducing and means the percentage of the screen in crisp focus is tiny.
Square Enix - do a 2D-HD port of Chrono Trigger and we might forgive the NFT rubbish
@AndyKazama rumours abound its being shown at the nintendo direct today. We'll see i guess
Might have to make good on my word.They touch chrono trigger they never get another dollar from me ever again.
It's weird that this is just how I imagined chrono trigger is, but I know if I played the original game on my 4K tv, the graphics will be a mess with that snes resolutions lol.
Man I hope squareenix will remake both chrono trigger and final fantasy tactics with this 2D-HD engine
Interesting timing 🤔
@eltomo I felt the same for some reason...
There's been a bunch of rumours about this actually happening btw. Strange that this should appear shortly after. We're gonna keep gonna getting remakes for the forseeable, wouldn't be surprised if some get announced at Nintendos direct today.
I would love to see him do LUNAR SILVER STAR STORY
This is what I'm afraid of for a CT remake. I can respect the artists hard work on this (looks very faithful to Octopath) but I HATE the Octopath visual style. It takes the bright, colorful, crisp feel of 16-bit era games and just makes them look dark, blurry, muddy, and washed out. The only way I can describe this style is that it looks like the game was rolled through the mud and sat in a hot trash bin for a few days.
I know I'm being a hater and am in the minority on this, but CT is one of my favorite games of all time and I would be so sad if this happened to it.
The DQ3 HD 2D looked a lot better though (brighter and clearer) so I know it can be done right!
Oh... it's a good effort but i don't like this rendition. Sprites are changed and some textures are pretty bad.
Probably my favorite game of all time. I wished it was on Switch or ps5. I hate having to break out my snes, wii or ps3 to play.
