Possible Chrono Trigger Revival
 
http://www.xboxteamportugal.com/inde...k=view&id=2086

It's in Spanish, but what little I could read shows that the point is, rumors are floating around that Sakaguchi and his developer Mistwalker are in discussions to buy the defunct Chrono Trigger license from Squeenix to produce a true sequel with the original team after completion of Blue Dragon.

No facts yet, but there is a lot of talk going on. Where would the game end up?

Xbox 360. Yeah, sorry Sony. :lol:

For a while, Chrono Trigger was my favorite game of all time, so I really hope this happens. As long as they got the original dream team of developers, it should be quite a sight.

Here's to hoping.

I woulda been happy to translate for you, but the link doesn't seem to be working for me.

After Blue Dragon? Blue Dragon is already finished. They're working on Lost Odyssey right now.

Draconic 01-16-2007 03:05 PM

I will not be holding my breath. My heart has already been Chrono Broken. :ohwell:

Well, yeah. You know what I mean. JRPG's aren't my strong suit.

This is one of those games that I never played and am constantly told I should.

Oh it is you have to at least play the snes version not the horrible Ps1 version. Why because the loading times are bad.

I remember when my friend got this game for christmas or for his bday don't rmember back when it was released, I got to borrow it and beat it in a week. It was worth the time and patience..

the snes version is highly sought.

CT was a pretty good game... if only because, from what I can remember, it wasn't so damn story heavy that you could fall asleep between the action parts.

Peanut 01-16-2007 09:21 PM

It's the exact same as every other SNES RPG out there. I played through about half of it before quitting out of boredom. I don't see what the big deal is.

Deathknight 01-16-2007 10:38 PM

If it does come out I'd rather that it uses Cross's fighting system. Chrono Trigger's fighting system was just too generic and didn't have enough to it. Every character had like 6 spells or regular attack. Most of the time you ended up relying entirely on double or triple techs anyway. Honestly I don't see how trigger was better than cross. Cross had a unique battle system and good story. I only have 2 complaints about Cross, too many characters and too easy.

Draconic 01-17-2007 10:39 AM

I thought that both battle systems were fun. I did really like CC's battle tech-system, I just wished there were more dual-techs, and fewer "this character -or- this character" instances. I also really liked CT because it's one of the only RPGs in which the main character weilded katanas.

I always thought that the Chrono series was like a compilation of what all of the FF series did right, plus some extra stuff to make it that much better.

Deathknight 01-17-2007 05:13 PM

Yeah, Cross just had way too many characters. There were an equal number of double and triple techs but just way too many characters to choose from.

Spitfire 01-17-2007 06:24 PM

Either way if this is true it will draw alot of people to the 360. And as much as I try not to support the console war I'd love nothing more then to see Sony flat line this gen. Might be because their fans are by far the worst and more ignorant game group I've ever encountered or because I love to see people who lie all the time and are extremely cocky about how good they think they are crash and burn.

Draconic 01-18-2007 09:13 AM

I think you may be right. If there is anything that would make me actually want a 360, it would be the Chrono series.

Deathknight 01-20-2007 04:04 PM

I might consider getting a 360 if this game comes out for it. Of course I'll just mod it and download the ISO because I refuse to give Microsoft any more money than I have to. If they do revive it and end up doing it more like Trigger I hope they make it a bit more complicated. This time I'm hoping for 9999 hp and 999 mp max with higher damage as well as a vast list of spells and maybe new types of attacks.

Shark 01-25-2007 04:27 AM

I hope Magus returns. He was ment to be a playable character in Cross, but that scraped that idea and turned Magus into Guile for some stupid reason.

Harle is dead, so I guess she has no chance of returning...

The thing I hated about Chrono Cross was that it was WAAAAY too short, and that the majority of the game, your playing as Lynx.

Deathknight 01-25-2007 02:38 PM

Lynx was better though. Forever Zero > Flying Arrow ( I think that's what it was called, been awhile.) Also, Chrono Trigger was much shorter than Cross. I beat Trigger in about a week and a half (yes, all the sidequests too.) Cross took me well over a month and there's still different quests in it I could take on by making different choices. I can never figure out how to save Marbule though.

Shark 01-25-2007 03:07 PM

Thought you had to save Marbule to advance.

Chrono Cross took me about three or four days, Trigger about a week.

Draconic 01-25-2007 03:16 PM

It would seem however, that Chrono Cross didn't leave the cast of Chrono Trigger up for much of a revival. At least, not in the way that you would remember them, I think. I've been reading some of the analyses if the Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross at Chrono Compendium -- pretty interesting theories and stuff. I didn't notice until I read some of this stuff, how intertwined the two games really are. I'd recommend reading the "resolutions" articles, a lot of stuff made me thing to myself, "Oh yea,"

Deathknight 01-25-2007 03:37 PM

Nah you can leave Marbule in the dust which I did twice because I couldn't figure out how to save it. Always got to a point where I was told I could no longer do the quest. You don't need to save Kid either. That puts you on a different path as well. Of course Kid gets saved anyway and you inevitably end up turning into Lynx and everything else but changing how you get there was interesting.
