Unannounced Chrono Trigger Formism figures have reportedly been spotted during the franchise’s 30th Anniversary Orchestral Concert, reigniting speculation around Square Enix’s long-term plans for the classic role-playing game. Images shared from the event show previously unseen figure designs that have not been formally revealed by Square Enix, prompting renewed discussion within the community about their significance.
The figures were first highlighted through social media posts shared by attendees and observers, with images circulating shortly after the concert. While Square Enix has not commented on the figures, their presence is notable given that the company announced multiple projects last year to commemorate Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary. Those earlier announcements did not include specific details on new games, but they did contribute to ongoing rumors surrounding a potential remake.
Attention has also been drawn to the design approach used for the newly spotted Formism figures. The characters appear to adopt a more doll-like aesthetic, a direction Square Enix has experimented with in other recent projects. This design philosophy has been seen in titles such as Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, suggesting a broader internal exploration of stylized reinterpretations rather than direct visual replicas.
Chrono Trigger was originally released in March 1995 for the Super Nintendo in Japan, later arriving in North America the same year. Developed by a team that included Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yuji Horii, and Akira Toriyama, the game has since been ported to multiple platforms over the decades. Its reputation has remained strong, and it continues to be cited as one of the most influential role-playing games ever made.
In recent years, Yuji Horii’s public comments have contributed to ongoing speculation. During appearances related to the 30th Anniversary Orchestral Concert, he has previously reacted cautiously to direct questions about a remake, reportedly responding that he would get in trouble for saying more.
