| Chrono games are not a square-enix priority it seems. Too content with Xenosaga/Kingdom Hearts. Chrono Trigger was also made by a very special assembly of talent that would be hard to put back together again. Hence Chrono Cross was very different, and another game in the series would probably vastly different again and divide the fanbase even further. I honestly feel Chrono games need to be continued on in the hack scene (here or wherever.) | |||

| These games were too good to just let go, i remember seeing in game shots of the third game too, sigh..im going to write square/enix and tell them we want that game, i dont care if its different, chrono trigger was great in part because akira toyiama's character design and the story, chrono cross was good because of the scope and ammount of playable characters and sidequests, im sure the third one will be good because of its differences and not dispite of them. | |||

Originally posted by MathOnNapkins Too content with Xenosaga/Kingdom Hearts? Was that a personal statement of your favorites or were you meaning SE is too content with those two to bother with another Chrono game? If the latter, you should probably be aware that Xenosaga is in the hands of Konami now - Square has nothing to do with Xeno anymore.. Kingdom Hearts has only had two games too and fairly wide apart. (Final Fantasy would have been the ideal example instead.) Anyway, I'm pretty sure the third game this topic refers to would be Chrono Break\Brake, which was registered as a name by Square some years ago I think, but nothing ever seemed to come of it.. I doubt they ever even began production. Though, as far as the Chrono games being too different goes, I really didn't find Cross to be bad like a lot of people seem to.. It had a lot of CT references buried in it, and a lot of Radical Dreamer references - it was really a great game that continued the story as best as could be done. (Following Crono and the gang again might be fun, but it would also be a bit clique I think.. They had their spotlight, their story was told, it came to an end - it doesn't really look like they were ever meant to join forces again like that.) Originally posted by faceless79 Screenshots? Eh? You'll have to find them and post them here; because I never even thought the game got past the idea stage.. And actually, the fact you called it "Chrono Chronicles" makes me wonder if you're thinking of some fan production and not an official game. (edited by Cara Zeltina on 06-24-06 04:27 PM) |

| I actually haven't played Xenosaga of Kingdom Hearts games. The point is that they are not focusing on Chrono games perhaps b/c it is easier to make money off games like that or the Final Fantasy franchise, etc. Or maybe nobody has come up with a really groundbreaking idea for a new Chrono game. You can't force a company to make a sequel to a game. It's possible that nobody who worked on previous titles wants to make new Chrono title. | |||

Originally posted by MathOnNapkins I completely agree with you, and your point. I was merely clarifying from your post to avoid confusion of anyone else who might pass by this thread. Indeed though, I don't expect to see another Chrono game officially for.. well, I'm not sure we'll ever see one. As for your idea of the hacking community taking it into their own hands, that is most certainly a possibility. I noticed with Temporal Flux's release - that there were a great many doors opened for the community to do just that. Although, I have yet to actually see much in the way of hacks created yet.. (I noticed Crimson Echoes, but other than that..) I find that kind of surprising actually, considering how damned popular CT is. But then, other popular games (like Super Metroid) got an editor too and they're not getting a lot of attention either.. Not sure why that is, but eh.. Feels like we're moving in slow motion in the hacking department, so while I'd love to see the community come up with some great new extensions to the story, I'm not going to hold my breath either. |

Certainly not SMW like attention with Lunar Magic, but I can think of at least 4 finished hacks. (3 of which are Japanese but used Smile to do it.) I've also noticed a surge of Super Metroid activity. If you build it they will come, eventually. Lunar Magic was also released in 2001, wasn't it? It takes time. |
