Chrono Trigger Box Art Revealed!

Square-Enix has chosen to bless us with just a taste of what’s to come with the future release of the Nintendo DS title, Chrono Trigger.  Just by looking at the cover art, it seems that gameplay isn’t the only element that retains it’s retro look, but in certain situations its better not to fix what isn’t broken.

I might be part of the 1% of Nintendo gamers that didn’t have a chance to play this on the SNES (ducks, to avoid rocks), this doesn’t mean that I’m not excited once new information hits the inter-web.  This game will be available to North America on November 25th 2008.

    Why is Marle casting a fire spell? I fear for this re-make if they’ve screwed up the cover art. :P

    It’d be no more messed up than the original. That is the original boxart there. =P

    Plus it’s an electrical spell, isn’t it?

  • chrismith

    Ah, so it is. Come to think of it, I think that picture is on the game cartridge itself, too. I don’t know if it’s electricity or fire, but it’s sure not ice. I wonder if Marle used fire in an early version of the game, or if the artists just goofed?

    *shrug* The art is meant to look good, not make sense. Case in point, vinyl record sleeve art.

    Nix the “look good” part*shot*

    Haha, that’s what I was wondering, why Marle was casting a Fire spell. I want Lucca on the cover. :P

    I don’t care what the box art looks like. As long as I can play chrono trigger on my ds, I will be a happy happy camper :-)

    I’m inclined to agree with cake3412, myself.

    to clarify this for you guys, im pretty sure their using arc impulse. when you watch the move being performed you can see chronos sword with a trail of fire behind it
    but thats just my guess :) i cant wait for this, it comes out on my birthday!
