I read the livejournal, and talk with occassionaly, one of the guys on the team.
They weren't going to sell it.
This is stupid, because theres tons of other Fan-Projects out there. Hell, look at Byond. I dont understand why this project gets killed, but tons of others dont.
My guess is that it was just too good. The artwork was down right amazing.
this COULD be a clue taht Square is working on a similiar project. I dunno tho.
They were going to make GameCube and Xbox versions.. more like Homebrew Hacks. But they were only going to use it in the form of portfolios. they werent going to release it to the homebrew community.
I dunno tho. Im just sad that it got cancelled. the Art alone was breathtaking.
It was such a professional project. At least they still have what htey got done and can show that in their port folio.
Did anyone Download the Music Samples? They were like WOAH. |

That would pretty much equal a cease-and-desist, me thinks. Freeware would have been another thing.
Shame though... especially considering the screenies.
They werent going to sell it. They were just to show it to people and companies so they could get a job someplace.
Oh and to Knuck: They were going to have the GC and Xbox versions for showing to companies only. They werent going to be brought to the public. |

If they weren't selling it, i odn't think that Square can close it.
Why Square never messed with Remixes of ocremix? And Nintendo with a large number of romhacks out there?
The "Cease and Desist" letter looks like more with a "We don't wanna to finish it" excuse. 
But that's just me. 
Oh, yeah, i remember they saying something about releasing it for Gamecube.  |

That's the most depressing thing I've heard all year. You may as well have told me that Santa just fucking DIED.
Could the fans of this project some how convince square-enix to take this project up and finish it (or have those guys finish it). Or, could they perhaps work out some kind of deal like Retro Studios did to make Metroid Prime? Dammit, man, I want to help do somethign to ensure this project sees the bloody light of day. |

Unless they were under the impression it was to be sold.
Or that it was infringing on direct copyright. Such as Square had copyrighted under the radar concepts that they were using in the game, etc. |

Given how there was a cease-and-desist though... My gut says yes.
Sorry Colin, but they weren't selling it. It was just like Fan Art. Exactly like.
Japan doesn't have any intellectual property rights, so it would be Squarenix of America/Europe that shut it down. They would have to launch a similarity lawsuit, so, if it were done on a Japanese or Chinese server...Square coulda bit a big ol' pill full of shit and I would've laughed. |

damn square enix......chrono trigger was done getting sold many years ago, why the hell do they have to mess with people just trying to recreate their favorite games.....
Because they hold the rights to said product and said franchise?
Heck, they could release Chrono Trigger for the GBA if they wanted to. *shrug* Just because a game's "old" doesn't mean it's not profitable. |

This is bullshit. It was an innocent fangame that would have had no effect on the nonexisting Chrono Trigger sales. This is a beautiful thing with great animation, and S-E should had let it go on.
That's a very good point.
It is a shame this project was cancelled, it was so promising, and they were putting lots of effort in it  |

And now I remember the second reason for not buying any square games...
...You think Enix might have something to do with it? Didn't they merge?
...But I LIKED Enix. >.< |

Probably some of the most fanatic Chrono trigger fans.
And well, it was illegal anyway. Copying a story of word for word and such... |
