If there was ever a third Chrono game would you want Toriyama’s art brought back?

I'm still fumming at Robo dying in such a gratuitous, meaningless way in CC. Like he was nothing but a c-list fodder.
A CT remake should at least be influenced.
A third entry? It could be anyone, it just needs to look good. Toriyama was part of the Dream Team because of the Dragon Quest connection, so picture a modern, popular artist that Square could use as a selling point.
Also, hey Square, pls call me, I have ideas! I can draw a little bit!

It's so overexposed. So many of his stylistic choices are too recognizable at this point.
Build from his style, as its still intrinsic to the DNA of that franchise, but don't be beholden to it.

There will never be another Chrono game.
And it's kind of remarkable actually. Chrono Trigger is one of the most renowned games of all time, and Square Enix has calculated it is in their best interest to do nothing with it. They will do full scale remakes of Mana games and actual new installments in the SaGa series, but Chrono is considered a lesser series. It's kinda nuts actually.
But I guess it's actually not that surprising if you consider how separated the key people of that team are now. I doubt many of the key people behind Trigger or Cross are still at Square.

If they ever do a modern Chrono game, this is what they need to use as a reference.I'd say peak Toriyama was Namek, but I honestly just loved his DB to mid DBZ art. It actually makes me kind of sad looking at his art now
Toriyama's current style is to simplified (compared to his DB) as if he were doing a favor for the studios that would need to animate his characters for an anime.
Needs to lean more towards his older illustration style instead of the official promo material/ character sheet design.
Nothing meaningless about it. He made a sacrifice for the greater good. Plus, he must have known full well that his death would be reverted at the end of the adventure since the defeat of the Time Devourer means the future is altered.
Despite Trigger being literally the only time I've cared for Toriyama's style, nah. Bring on a new artist; I like the idea of each Chrono game having its own unique look.
no i don't have any affinity for toriyama as an artist
sometimes i feel like if they make a "new" chrono game it's gonna ignore chrono cross completely
and if that's the case then it can STAY DEAD

Ive never played CT2 despite owning it. Couldn't get into it.
Good?
Anyhow, I have no faith that SE can do a good sequel.

As long as they ignore Chrono Cross they could do whatever they want, but honestly I don't have faith in Square Enix enough to pull it off anymore.
They would just turn it into Shonen Anime.
They can't even focus making a story with a concise beginning, middle, and end anymore, now, with time travel in the mix, bleh.

In all seriousness, yes, Oda should contribute his art to a new Chrono game. Toriyama's art has always been cartoonish. One Piece takes it a step further. But Oda has done more grounded looking characters.

Boy people have problems with Square's female designs I'd love to see the reaction to an Oda game.

i think it's simply do to lack of creative talent revolving around the series, as you alluded to. there's just no "there" there moving it forward as an IP
even if SE gave one of their up and comers carte blanche with Chrono 3 they probably wouldn't even know where to begin
Really? You want a realistic looking Chrono game? What a way to suck out all the style.
What? Budget friendly? On the contrary, commissioning him was most definitely more expensive than using an in-house artist or a lesser-known one.
