Wireless internet is a burden to me. Now they bring that burden to a remake of my favorite game....

[Shinrin]

You could spend about 50 bucks for a nice wireless router... (if you had the money to get one..)

[V_Translanka]

I don't understand why all the scans from w/e Famitsu that is are so shitty...V_V

Do we even know if they're actually showing screens from the actual remake or if it's just talking about how it's coming out & showing old screens from previous versions?

[ZeaLitY]

Yeah, no freaking kidding. It's like the guy wanted us to think they were shopped.

[Agent 12]

Is anyone we know going to E3??   There's bound to be something about it there right?  It's just around the corner?  Though I dont know why they wouldn't have just waited till then to drop the bomb?

A friend of mine mentioned PAX is going to be here in Seattle and since I live here now I'll try to go there.  RD are you going?

I have a wireless router... It never keeps a constant signal like wired internet. Well... AT&T is an exception to that.

Anyways I am currently in the MiddleEast in Palistine,and many people are hyped about this game.
Well atleast college students are because over here they study english as a primary language,and also in Palistine Chrono Trigger is very popular.Over here they don't have 360,Wii,or PS3...or a Snes, but their is this console that is pretty much illegal that plays Cartridges with about 10 snes games on it.
Also the Nintendo DS is a super popular console here since it's the only console they sell here,besides Gamecubes.

....but sadly there is no place you can buy DS games here...just a DS with a flashcart as a illegal bundle..

Anyways....I can't wait for this!!!!!!!!!

Eternal Myst, thanks for your report, I really appreciate your perspective. I guess that reassures me then.

Great news!  I'm looking forward to the new content    Hopefully details on the new dungeon will be at E3 or their website launch next week.

[ChronoWeapon]

Hello fello CT and CC fans!  This is the best news I've heard all summer now I have something to look forward to during the cold, cold winter.  As for a new dungeon, I would be stoked if it were Singing Mountain.

If they add a new PC that's not really what any of us are doing, one of us is bound to sprite it and throw it in Xd

PC = party character?  As cool as that sounds, I think it would change things way too much, especially since Chrono Cross exists already.  I doubt they'd add *new* things to the storyline, but I can see them explaining things that weren't explained before.  I'm thinking the extra dungeon might be part of an ending, maybe being an addition to or perhaps even replacing the developer's ending.  That's another thing to consider, will the developer's ending be altered by the team?  Would be fun to see new silly content in there.

[ZealKnight]

They should add more than one dungeon. And don't make them like the new ones in Final Fantasy. Those are annoying and after a little playing of them, I quit.  And I hope you don't have to beat Lavos in order to play it.
