Possible news on next Chrono game?

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has heard any info about a new Chrono (Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross) game in development? Appreciate any info, please let me know.

Thanks for listening.

 

There are none in development. Chrono Break was planned for the PS2, but never happened. This was even hinted at in one of the endings of Chrono Cross. ("Watch for the sequel on PS2!" or something.)

It also seems they were thinking about making a sequel if the Chrono Trigger DS port sold well, but I guess it didn't do well enough.

Very sad. You had my hopes up with that topic title that something had been announced or something.

 

Hello,

Oh I never heard about Chrono Break or maybe I did, I can't remember.

Well hopefully Chrono might make a return. Thanks for the info rika_chou, appreciate it.

Thanks for listening.

 

Not really a sequel but it seems there will be an announcement next week over Chrono Cross possibly getting a PSN PS1 release (at least in japan).

 

I saw the Wii icon here and my heart sunk.

I am sad it won't be released at all, but at least, it won't be released for the wii (because it wouldn't see a western release).

Chrono Break really got my hopes up back in the day.

But there are some awesome games that we're just going to have to let go, great as they were in their time.

Lunar 3 is never coming, Nobody played Grandia 3, and Chrono 3 is never going to come out either.

Depressing, but true.

 

Probably all for the better since these days I have little faith that Square could make a game that would do the series justice anyways.

 

Ahhh, I was really hoping this was a post with actual news of a new Chrono, not just a question... Why they haven't made a new one yet is beyond me!:shrug:

 

Well, if fucking Squaresoft hadn't squashed every other Chrono fan project, there might be more ideas and a better market for Chrono 3. But no, they had to be greedy, mediocre bitches.

What the fuck, Square... ? You used to be cool.

I really miss the Square that brought us Xenogears, Front Mission 3 and Final Fantasy Tactics and Legend of Mana and Chrono Cross.

There's nothing, no company like that, in the market anymore.

 

may i add to the list the lovely first SaGa frontier?

 

By all means, you may.

I didn't like it at first (and in fact, I hated it a lot for a while), but coming back to it, many years later, it just clicked.

And that soundtrack, so awesome.

I never knew, though, what the reward would be if you used YOUR WHOLE MEMORY CARD (2 blocks per character, for seven characters, plus one block "system data") for it.

 

well after you finish a character and get the clear data, you can delete its save so it's just 3 blocks... but SF deserves its memory card

it's a game that with years seems to get better and never bores me also being sprite based doesn't have so horribly as other games do

 

speaking of the Chrono games, I saw a copy of Chrono Cross for the PlayStation at my local GoodWill

 

Xenogears was once Chrono Trigger 2,story wise.

 

What, really?

I've never heard this before.

Where did you read this?

 

Yeah, I'm curious about that too. Please, do go into more detail.

 

I too have never heard this as well, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I have Chrono Cross sitting on my shelf, maybe its time I give it a complete play through. Just how much does it have in common with Chrono Trigger beyond sharing the first part of their names? I was under the impression it was a sequel in style of Final Fantasy (repeat names, concepts but no direct connections for the most part).

 

Chrono Cross really does continue the story of Chrono Trigger, in a very side-story type scenario, with dimensional travel and whatnot. It adds a somewhat depressive twist to Chrono Trigger. And it happens, sort of, 20 years after the end of the original.

It is in the same way a direct sequel and a side story - in the sense that it happens directly and continues characters' stories, but the main quest has nothing to do with the original until later on.

This is all I can say without spoiling it for you.

 

Chrono Trigger continue the story in Radical Dreamers for the BS-X (Satellaview). The Flash cart of Radical Dreamers is VERY rare. I try to get one some years ago... Holy grail for Squaresoft collectors .
Its text based adventure. You played as Serge. Goal is to steal the frozen Flame in the castle from Lynx.
It also has different ending.
Chrono Cross is behind Radical Dreamers story.

 

What Jackhead says is correct.

In fact, even some of the soundtrack (a whole bunch of it), many of the characters and scenarios, and the idea in general makes Chrono Cross a retelling of Radical Dreamers, which was a gaiden/sequel to Chrono Trigger.

 

I've been aware of Radical Dreamers for some time, long before the translation patches were available. Never really bothered to play it as I'm not big on text adventures these days.
