So does anyone know what the missing 2% was for Crimson Echoes? Everyone says it was 98% done, so what exactly was missing?

Is anyone else getting a sick sort of entertainment just watching this whole thing unfold? I dare say this might be more fun that playing the game. XD

The question is, is distributing a patch to change a ROM into a derivative work the same as actually distributing the derivative work itself in the eyes of the law?

I really doubt it. I imagine patches are legal in the same sense that bongs are legal, you know? Owning X, which is often used in conjunction with the illegal Y, does not make X illegal by association.

That would only work if the game wasn't already a ROM hack.

I can't help but wonder what Square's thinking right now. Part of me thinks they're banging their heads off of their desks over what a mess they've caused with this. Another part of me thinks they don't really care.

So let's say you guys are granted a fan license or something, and Square miraculously says you can make the game. Would you have to start from scratch, or do you still have some pieces of the puzzle in case they change their mind?

Or can you not answer that?

I guess, but... I don't know. If I worked on something for this many years, I would at least keep a personal copy for myself. I imagine at least one of them have done the same. Why destroy something they worked on for so long? Of course, for legal purposes I wouldn't expect anyone to admit it or let anyone else get a hold of their copy.

I just want to believe it still exists in some form. Just let me dream.

We have already destroyed all known copies of Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes and other modifications and projects.

Suuure you have.

That second one makes sense to me. Thanks.

History, Locations, and Artifacts / The Black Omen: How does everyone know?

« on: September 21, 2007, 04:28:20 am »

I never really thought about it, but how does everyone who comments on the Black Omen in 1000 and 600 AD know its name? I mean, it's understandable that they don't flip out about it, since it's been there for thousands of years, but how do they know what it's called?

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / Time Devourer/Lavos' shell.

I was always confused by the fact that the time devourer looks like Lavos' shell and not its core. Why is that?
