Chrono Trigger has been a significant fan request.
The game, which was originally released in 1995 and was developed by Square, has seen its fair share of re-releases over the years,

while titles like Dragon Quest 1-3
and other seminal JRPGs,
like Super Mario RPG
Many of its era have undergone the remake treatment, but Chrono Trigger appears to have been overlooked.
Recently, to celebrate its 30th anniversary, Square Enix hinted at numerous initiatives tied to the game.
