Square Enix Merger??? (You've been poisoned)

[Roux!]

I was always of the idea that Nomura's more style over substance... Then he took a more prominent role in the company!

Nice...

The creative talent that gave them the success they enjoy nowadays left the company due to internal conflicts... Same happened with other publishers -- CAPCOM, KONAMI?

Gotta search for new talent, I guess...

I want a sequel to Chrono Trigger, that's it that's all. But I guess that wont happen, I remember an interview and one guy in Square Enix was like: Well we would if more people would show interest (buy DS Port, hint hint) That pissed me off, I hate the stupid edits they made, why the hell did they change so many names? http://www.chronowiki.org/wiki/List_...S_name_changes, the names suck.

Fanboyism aside, the other thing I want is that Square Enix stop sending cease and desist letters, remember Chrono Resurrection: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Resurrection or Crimson Echoes? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_...Crimson_Echoes...

I'll go cry in my corner...

I'm sure you know this already, but just in case you don't... there is a sequel by the name "Chrono Cross"...

Edit: In fact I'm sure you current avatar is from CC, so nevermind.

They were good before, and they are still good now...

(Also, all this hating on Vaan, FF12, etc... I actually really liked FF12... The graphics were amazing for a PS2 game and and I loved the battle system *u*

Chrono Cross, is not a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger, as Takashi Tokita, mentoined a Chrono Trigger 2 in 2003. It is believed that Chrono Break was going to be a sequel... but that's vaporware...

Hmm, never spent much time with CC...I'll have to look into that. What the hell is vapourware btw..?? Nevermind, I just googled it...you just introduced me to a new term my man...Oh and it appears to be spelt "vaporware", but thanks anyway

I mean, except it is.

I guess you could completely ignore the returning cast, returning antagonist and such. I know I would, since its not a very good game, but it was definitely made to be a followup of Radical Dreamers, which is itself a direct continuation of Chrono Trigger.

[Ragnarök]

Do I really need to whip out my sources, fine... "Kato had previously mentioned in the Ultimania guide for Chrono Cross that he wanted to create a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger to wrap up certain story elements and plot threads, and that the pitfalls of a direct sequel prompted them to do Chrono Cross instead." Go to Wikipedia and check Chrono Break.

Damnit, you just had to remind us of that waste of thought. Seriously, why re-release a Snes game in its entirety on a console two generations later and change nothing other than the names of enemies and items? All that accomplishes is ruining the nostalgia factor for older gamers, as well as bringing nothing new or exciting to the table. It hardly gives anyone any incentive to buy it versus just playing the original in an emulator.

Hmm Sqeenix... they have funded some good things outside of the FF series: DQ8, TWEWY, KH2, Deus Ex HR, Just Cause 2, Nier, Sleeping Dogs and apparently Thief 4 (in the making).

But when it comes to the FF series...

The funny thing is, is that they didn't make most of those xP, they only published them. Can't wait for Thi4f by the way .

"Kato had previously mentioned in the Ultimania guide for Chrono Cross that he wanted to create a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger to wrap up certain story elements and plot threads, and that the pitfalls of a direct sequel prompted them to do Chrono Cross instead." Go to Wikipedia and check Chrono Break.

Since we're quoting Wikipedia:

" Trigger's scenario director Masato Kato had brainstormed ideas for a sequel as early as 1996, following the release of Radical Dreamers.[27] Square's managers selected a team, appointed Hiromichi Tanaka producer, and asked Kato to direct and develop a new Chrono game in the spirit of Radical Dreamers.[28] Kato and Tanaka decided to produce an indirect sequel."

But to give an even better source. You know, a credible one:

"07.24.99] » An interview in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals Chrono Cross' expected length, its geographical location in relation to Chrono Trigger, the story behind the new battle system, and other gameplay details.

The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu, Japan's largest gaming publication, contains an interview with Chrono Cross' director Masato Kato, producer Hiromichi Tanaka, and composer Yasunori Mitsuda. The three key players behind the project share a variety of new and intriguing gameplay revelations. Most notably, Kato remarks that one can expect to complete the game in about 30 hours, though "the system takes advantage of the PlayStation's features to make the game enjoyable to play even after you've finished it." According to Kato, one is "essentially free to choose the story's path" during the game, and later explains that "we couldn't include a lot of storyline splits in Chrono Trigger, so we stuck with a multi-ending setup, but in Chrono Cross the storyline itself changes as you go on."

In addition, Kato explains, "Chrono Cross takes place in the same world as Chrono Trigger, although [in] a different area." One can expect to explore many of Chrono Trigger's locations extensively in Chrono Cross, and, as reported earlier, dimensional travel or "parallel worlds" will play a strong role throughout Serge's travels. The full interview follows. Thanks to Andrew Church for the fantastic translation. "

And to emphasize this some more:

Weekly Famitsu: First of all, this game doesn't seem to have the name "Dream Project" associated with it. Is it truly a sequel to Chrono Trigger? And why isn't it called "Chrono Trigger 2"?

Kato: There's a long story behind that, but to keep it short... After finishing Chrono Trigger, we created a game called "Radical Dreamers". Although we hadn't planned it that way initially, Radical Dreamers eventually ended up as a sort of sequel to one of the subplots in Chrono Trigger which we weren't able to tie up in Chrono Trigger itself. When Radical Dreamers was finished, we did Xenogears, and when talk turned to what to do after that, we decided to redo Radical Dreamers properly. That's why we didn't give the new project the name "Chrono Trigger 2".

Weekly Famitsu: So what are those connections?

Kato: Chrono Cross takes place in the same world as Chrono Trigger, although a different area. There are a number of episodes where players who've played Chrono Trigger will go "Oh!" when they recognize links to the earlier game. Of course, you can finish Chrono Cross just as easily without knowing Chrono Trigger at all.

So you can dictate what's credible? That sounded quite close to an Ad Hominem attack. So in other words, I won't debate with you nor will I pay attention to you, good luck with your future "endeavours" or whatever.

Or I was talking about Wikipedia, which was mentioned in the sentence directly prior, which is popularly known as only vaguely credible due to its open source nature. You can feel more then welcome to take it as a personal attack though, if that's what you enjoy.
