really, I am surprised that they expected to sell millions of games. I mean its only on the DS. If they had released it on a major console, (wii, 360, ps3) i could see why they would expect that, but 880,000 on the DS proves, to me anyway, that there will be tons of cake to roll in if they ever made a sequel to CT and put it on a or all of the major consoles.
anyway, on an other note, keep those vids coming FW, you only have what, 50 more to go (as of #30)? lol

« on: June 05, 2009, 11:52:06 am »They didn't take Lavos out. Only the Frozen Flame. King Zeal says he wants to destroy him, but we have no idea if he actually did. At least not yet.
theres a little thing called Foreshadowing that give people a flexible way to interpret things that might happen. I am just foreshadowing that we find out that in this timeline King Zeal did in fact complete his mission.

« on: June 05, 2009, 11:48:18 am »I swear...when I got to the part about Ann Guardia I thought you guys were going to make Marle pull off a Fry (Futurama) and become her own ancestor...that would be messed up haha...
lol
but yeah, awesome job on these chapters. It is amazing to see just how much Lavos effected the time line. without it, modern era humanity would not have existed, so in a way in CT (as far as the story in CE is concerned) you really kill your savior.
grat job on the story though, its a+ stuff here.
@ZealKnight
dont think of it within the contexts of the old CT story line. this is a much different future here. One in which Lavos was killed in 65,000,000 BC. So Zeal never fell and the Reptities were not wiped out entirely (that last part bout the reptites is just speculation on my part).

holy crap, i did not expect what happened in part 19.....
frigging awesome. I also got goosebumps from that part, its gota be one the the best scenes out of all the games I own and have played.
so does this mean Ayla dies? (i mean she was right next to King Zeal when he finished the summoning spell/Ultimate fire thing, no way she could live thru that right? or was that part of the 2%? lol)

Geowil, thanks for favoriting. It'd be great to maximize the viewership, if only to prove that the leak is an obsolete beta (practically an alpha).
oh, disreguard my Pm then xD

awesome Faust. I am also favoriting them as I watch, since I run a gaming network I have some vids up on youtube for my games so when people view my prof, they should also see these.
but I am slightly amazed that up to where Magus enters Dalton's lab is 30 minutes O.o seemed faster on the demo (even with the quests) lol.
oh and +1 to the CE team for a speaking Chrono, they finally re-implanted his tongue <.<

well i played the demo, it was full of awesomeness up till Schala said "Thats the demo" lol.
Cant wait for the vid footage of the rest of the game. Hopefully, in some dark corner of the net, someone will try and redo this game someday (differnt name obviously and all), but till then i await SE's next attempt to making a Chrono game, if they ever do.

« on: May 29, 2009, 01:04:23 am »Sorry to be dragging up things that should just go away but I'd like a chance to refute some of the claims made in this thread.
I personally know of a guy who was pirating movies not for profit and was caught and sentenced to six months in jail(thanks to overcrowding shortened to three). I don't know if he was also subject to fines, but if so they weren't in the hundred thousand range.
People can be sent to jail and can probably be fined as well.
yeah the defacto sentences for copyright infringement (maybe this is for federal offenses only) as far as I know are fines up to 250k and up to 5 years in federal prison. got it from the fbi's piracy website. but it is surprising that there have been very few cases of jail time.

thats not quite how it works. The CD stated that for EACH infringement (download) that they would charge the 150k, and possible jail time. Paying the fine doesnt get you a get out of jail free pass, they can still deny you the right to put the game out, they just get 150k of your money in the process, as Pty said.

Agent12, will you also be putting up downloads for the game play videos somewhere? Reason I ask is that youtube is highly copyright infringement ban hammered at the moment due to the crap that WMG pulled against Google recently.
they might rally behind SE, if SE were so cockish to do so (highly possible given the state of things currently), and remove the videos.
Also to those seeking to play the CE demo/prophets guile or the other patches that were shutdown here. do a google search and you should find a web site that still has these up, dont know how complete the other stuff is, but they have the CE Demo 2.0 on their site.

damn this sucks. 
but at least we will get to see the game, ha I agree with what the person posted on the digg, bet SE hadent thought of that happening.
either way +100 phail points to Dark Serge if he really did send the email to SE, sure SE did not act on the email per say, but if the email had never been sent the CD might have been delayed enough for CE to be released for a short time, though then SE might have actually forced the fines >.<.
wtfh, there's always one prick that has to go and ruin something special for everyone else just because someone pissed in their coffee....

« on: May 27, 2009, 01:52:48 pm »QuoteI've been sayin something along those line for awhile. People are takin' this way to personally.
Sure, I can see how that is, but you also need to understand, some people worship this game (that being CT) and so far, anytime someone has tried to improve it, or make a new plot from it, it gets shot down.
I hate to say it, but that just sounds like incredibly narrow-minded talk. Do you honestly think that CTRP, CT:R and CT:CE are the only Chrono projects in existence? The only things that matter? What? Like said, it may have been great, but it was only one. It is not the be-all, end-all of all Chrono fandom and people need to stop thinking like it is.
sorry if i came off as a prick with that, but truly those are the only major projects I have ever heard of since I started looking (with any interest; to me a mod has to be more then just a simple translation of a game, or more then a few extra maps and side quests) at the Chrono modding community back in 2006-this month.
but what I said stills stands. I was not talking directly about CE but about ALL the mods that SE has crapped on, those have been the biggest one imo out of any of the ones that have come out, prickish it maybe but thats my opinion (as I said before I dont know about many others then the ones you mentioned).

Agreed, though I think this is important on a larger scale because of the implications for other fan projects, at least by looking at the effect this has had already on other Chrono fan game projects across the web.
exactly the point i am trying to convey, sooner or later the fan base is just going to stop trying to make a full-length Rom mod for CT. Its like a, hate to use the term but..., war of attrition. We're going to keep going till something gives, and at present its probably going to be the spirits of the fans rather then the shrewdness of SE.

'lo everyone, I am new to the compendium.
I have been a fan of Chrono Trigger since 1996 when I first played it and I must say, that even to this day, it remains the BEST game I ever played, only FF7 comes close (and it is maybe 12 steps down from CT on the awesomeness ladder) to CT for me.
That being siad I also own Chrono Cross. I have not beaten the game yet, actually I am stuck on FATE at the moment >.< but ever since I entered the Sea of Eden and learned about what really happened I have been wondering how these two games had ever been connected.
When I first heard about Crimson Echos, to tell you the truth, I was shocked. As I read through he compendium I found a plausible arc between the two. I was VERY hyped for this "patch" to come out, the videos for it showed what I believe was a storyline comparable to the original one.
But now that SE has sent the cease and desist I am a little pissed, though it is my opinion that certain other events might have triggered SE's actions (search google for RIAA suemongering) I can see how they could feel threatened by this though.
I think that somehow SE and the fan communities positions have been revered ever since they killed the 3D remake. SE are the ones that are now being over protective of the Chrono legacy. It should be the other way around, unless a game company plans to release a future game for a series (not a remake), they should just let it die. It is then the job of the fan base to not let that happen, to be over protective of the game. This is how I think they modding communities formed in the first place.
but SE has revesed the roles now, whether because they are making a new Chrono game or just turning CT into a cash cow like FF still remains to be seen I guess.
Though that has left me with a question, their actions suggest that they are making a new Chrono game (not just a remake), because as far as I have seen, once a game series has been made and is finished (in most cases), if it hasnt been possible already allowed/possible, the companies release modding tools or allow their games to be modded. It is my firm belief that once a game is completed, the company no longer owns the game, legally they might, but the soul of the game belongs to the fans of the game.
anyway this brings me to my next point. A suggestion to the team behind CE. dont let your 5 years of work go to waste, even if they black ball you and say they will not allow you to continue, or that they will not 'buy' the game and release it or just wont let this one time slip by. It doesnt mean that all of your work has to go to waste, release the storyline as a fanfic or find another medium to tell the plot in. SE has a problem with how the game was made, not what the game is about. They might argue, but i dont think, even legally, they can sue someone from writing a story about Chrono Trigger.
Or do as some people have suggested on a lot of posts around the interwebs and release the game anyway, but do it through channels that will keep it hush hush.
I would really hate to see the project die entirely, the storyline you thought up has me so intrigued.
I await the news good or bad. Even if it is bad, i dont think that we are going to lose CE entirely.
Sure, I can see how that is, but you also need to understand, some people worship this game (that being CT) and so far, anytime someone has tried to improve it, or make a new plot from it, it gets shot down. So I can also see where they would be personally offended. A lot of people loved this game, some might even have had life altering events surrounding the game (i saw a youtube video where this guy rom hacked CT to make a storyline that at the end of which was a proposal to his girlfriend), it was one of the single greatest games to ever grace the gaming world, and there are those that take every hit to the fan base by SE personally because they think that they are entitled to have some say at least in what SE does with the game series.
Though I am not for or against that kind of thinking, I do believe that SE should either release a CT sequel/CC prequel, or put and shut up and pass the reigns to the fan base and not defame the series name by whoring it out to almost every console that comes out.
