Chrono Trigger, fanmade...please help

[sergeandkid4ever]

Okay, I know it's been done before, but hear me out. I want to create my own fanmade version of Chrono Trigger, maybe Chrono Cross or Radical Dreamers afterwards, anyway, the reason I need help is not story-wise but, art-wise, you might be saying "well just ask someone here for the sprites" that part I know, the part i don't know is if I'll need any background in videogames besides being a gamer. So, anyone know, and if so will you please tell me? Thank You.
