When it comes down to RPG titles of the mid to late 90’s Final Fantasy VIII and Chrono Cross are both considered to be underrated titles for the PS1.  While Final Fantasy VIII may not have been quite as popular as its prequel Final Fantasy VII its still considered to be a solid RPG by many critics which makes them wonder whether or not the game will ever receive an HD remake.  Its no secret that Square Enix plans on releasing an HD remake of Final Fantasy VII sometime in 2018.  As far as Chrono Cross is concerned not only have we seen a direct sequel from Chrono Cross which was actually critically acclaimed but there has never really been any talk on making an HD version of Chrono Cross at all.

Similar to Final Fantasy VIII, Chrono Cross was not quite as popular as its prequel Chrono Trigger which was released for the SNES back in 1995.   In terms of popularity some would probably give the slight edge to Final Fantasy VIII over Chrono Cross considering the fact that the FF series still continues to this day.   While many people have wanted to see a sequel to see a direct Chrono Cross since the early 00’s the chances of it actually happening are very slim since the overall sales of the game fell below certain expectations.   If Square Enix were had to choose one out of the two games to make an HD remake for it would most likely be Final Fantasy VIII.
