Square’s next remake: FF6, FF8, or Chrono Trigger?

I don't trust a Chrono Trigger remake not to try and add Chrono Cross nonsense so I'm going with FFIX.
I don't think we need a Chrono Trigger remake. I'd rather get a port of Chrono Trigger, a remaster of Chrono Cross (maybe a few changes) and then Chrono 3 on the scale of FF7r.
I guess my second choice would be FF8r. 8 is one of my fav FFs, but it would be great to get rid of the draw system (or rework it somehow).

It really doesn't, though. You hit diminishing returns fairly quickly once you finish with the graphical jump from PS1 to PS4/PS5. There's not going to be much REASON for another remake of VII beyond blind greed and creative bankruptcy.
If were talking remakes, Xenogears and Vagrant Story are due the most.
After that? Its not like I haven't thought about a Chrono Trigger remake ...

The heart says FFVI, but reality says Chrono Trigger using whatever engine DQXI/Trials of Mana are on.
I don't think they'd do it regardless, but I agree with the spirit of what Kitase said. By the way I mentioned that I'd go straight for Xenogears after FFVII Remake is done. Xenogears for me jumps above all Final Fantasies other than VII in the remake line.
I don't want an 8 remake.
I want a ff8 themed tactics game. It's a literal school of mercs, how I'd this not already a thing?

I'm not sure if I want a third Chrono game or a full remake of Chrono Trigger? I'm assuming a CT remake would look similar to Dragon Quest 11?
Of those, Chrono Trigger is the one that would have the best chance of making money, I think. It would get the Trials of Mana treatment though, not a FF7 style remake.
Xenogears is what actually needs it the most, but doing it properly would just lose them a lot of money, and they know that.

There's a lot of potential for all three of these to sell gangbusters if done right wow. Square's library of classics is just full of stuff that would make for amazing remakes.
FF IX. It's already an incredible game and getting fleshed out a little more could turn it into an even bigger masterpiece.
I don't know how you would remake FFVI or Chrono Trigger.
They still look good and I doubt people want a 3D remake of them.

It's probably more likely for a hypothetical Chrono Trigger remake to be closer to Dragon Quest XI since CT uses Toriyama character and monster designs to begin with. Although the structure of the game should be far closer to the original with the overworld having smaller scale models and the individual dungeons showing full size locations and full detail character models.
While I do like FF7R from the impressions I'd made of the demo. For Chrono Trigger I'd much prefer a much more conventional 1 to 1 Remake much along the lines of Resident Evil 2 instead of a reimagining of the source material.
This makes me want a chronic trigger remake that uses the DQXI engine that allows you to swap from 2D to 3D.
able to play it 3D with beautiful everything or old school with old school systems
FF2!
Underrated and so most people haven't played it.
Gameplay adjustments wouldn't bother anyone because that's the thing most people whine about.
Story is actually pretty good.
It has a unique progression mechanic within the series which would adapt well to the action rpg route Square is moving towards.
The word system they used could be adapted into the typical rpg dialogue choice system, or something similar.

I'm not really interested in remakes along the lines of FF7-R. That said, I think Vagrant Story with its rough edges smoothed away (load times, cumbersome menus, poor tutorialization) would feel modern without necessitating a genre shift.
Go in order, FFVIII and FFIX. All that was really necessary was FFVII - IX IMO. And remasters of I - VI
