I am a communist AND hate jRPGs and I'm still excited.

No, see, I was completely obsessed with CT and FFIII on the SNES as a child. I really played nothing else (and I did very little besides play video games), except for MMX when I wanted a break. But I am getting fucking sick of Sqeenix and their ports. Why would I ever want to pay $30 to play a game I have already owned and loved for 13 years? I made the mistake of buying all the FF ports (a "new dungeon" that is only accessible at the end game and only serves to get you a couple items that are ultimately irrelevant and unnecessary because you could obviously beat the game without them before so why would you need them now does not count as a change) and found myself ultimately disappointed.
Haven't you learned to interpret SE's (and for that matter, most developers') bullshit by now? "Touch screen functionality" translates to "use the stylus to navigate menus." "Dual screen view" translates to "we'll show you menus at all times when you could just as easily see them by pressing start." And the article says nothing about multiplayer wireless battles; given Square's history for "wireless play modes," it'll likely be a crappy messaging system akin to Moogle mail, maybe some totally irrelevant and useless minigame. Even if it is battles, who the fuck cares? As much as I love the game, there's not near enough customization and diversity to make that fun. As long as the game remains "unchanged at its core," I am uninterested in closing the purchase.

Because I don't want to carry an SNES and a TV around with me to work when I want to play CT? Maybe that's why I'm willing to buy it?

Seriously. The bitching is getting old.
All across the web, people are crying about this.
Have Square Enix stopped making new games?
No, they haven't. A port like this doesn't exactly require a gigantic staff. Quit bitching and let the rest of us who actually ARE willing to pay $30 for a portable port of one of the best games in history enjoy ourselves.

Granted, that is a valid reason, but I didn't ask why you would buy it. I was called a communist who hates JRPGs so I defended myself with an explanation of why I would not buy it. There are plenty of reasons for some people to be excited (and I think a lot of people are; I don't know about you but I haven't really seen "crying all across the web," more like people masturbating at the thought of this), but I am not some people in this case.
Look, I haven't cared about Squeenix's new properties in years so it's not like I'm upset about the way they're spending their time. As far as I'm concerned, they went off the deep end with FFX and never looked back except for some choice offerings on the DS (TWEWY, FFTA2?). I just wish they would put some effort into bringing these games into the new generation. They took a step in the right direction with FFIII on the DS and FFIV DS looks to be all kinds of awesome, so now that we're hearing about Chrono Trigger on the DS I can't help but wish it were getting the same treatment.
