Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii isn't saying there's a Chrono Trigger remake, but he's not saying there isn't one: "I can't say ... I'll get told off!"

Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii is once again commenting, but not really saying much, about a potential Chrono Trigger remake.

Horii, who was supervisor and scenario writer on the original version of Chrono Trigger, inadvertently set the JRPG community ablaze back in May by seemingly confirming the existence of a Chrono Trigger remake, but later reports claimed he never actually mentioned one. Still, the toothpaste was unleashed from the tube, and Chrono Trigger diehards have been waiting eagerly, if not hopelessly, for an announcement.

Well, Horii is once again getting everyone talking... by not really talking. Per IGN, Horii appeared on a recent YouTube livestream and was asked for comment on the long-rumored Chrono Trigger remake, and he rather notably chose not to outright deny its existence, instead saying, "I can't say," "You shouldn't ask that!" and "I'll get told off!"

Again, this doesn't really move the needle in either direction in terms of substantiating or dampening Chrono Trigger remake rumors, but it's a little surprising that Horii said anything more than 'no comment," especially after the kerfuffle he started earlier in the year.

Chrono Trigger first released on the Super Nintendo back in 1995, and although it's been ported numerous times to newer hardware, including mobile, it's never been substantially retouched, remastered, or as most fans are hoping for at this point, remade. And as you might expect, Square Enix has yet to officially tease, much less announce, anything of the sort.
