Chrono Cross Set for JPSN

[Jutty]

My point is that when CC actually does come out on US PSN, I will be buying it for two reasons: one, so that I can legally play the game on a handheld, and two to send SE a message that people want Chrono. If you're just going to emulate it in lieu of this, you're pretty much neglecting the second reason which I'd think that as a fan you'd be concerned about. It'll be ten friggin' bucks, that's not exactly a gouge.

I already own the game. I'm a fan, but I'm tired of being dicked around by SE. They can give me something new that I don't need or they don't get my money. I'm not going to throw my money at them for a product that I already own.

Obviously you aren't obligated to, I'm just saying one would assume that as a Chrono fan, you'd want to.

the Chrono series died with Squaresoft IMHO... anything SE makes would just be........well... take a look at what they made out of FF -- more gimmicks and pretty graphics to compensate for lack of a good story

Agreed.....Its really a shame that the Chrono series does not get the respect it deserves now in days. But its cool that Chrono cross is coming to the psn, maybe it will introduce some new people to the series.

Hopefully, It'll remind people that Cross isn't a bad game at all, because people tend to associate disappointing sequel (to them, at least) with disappointing game. A shame, because Cross is probably the best RPG on the PS1 (IMO).

It is a great game!

[gatotsu911]

It's not even a disappointing sequel, if you go into it with the right expectations. That is, "a game that builds upon the themes and ideas laid forth by its predecessors while retaining a similar atmosphere and feel". Which is what I want out of a sequel, especially in a video game.

If you want a sequel in the sense of "another fantasy game with time travel", go check out Radiant Historia. That looks great, and as close to Chrono Trigger 2 as there ever will be.

[Trebuchet]

That's what I always felt, but some don't agree.

And I'm SUPER pumped for Radiant Historia.

There's also Black Sigil, which Faustwolf pointed me toward when asked about Chrono-style sprites. The game looks really cool. Kind of like what Chrono Crisis could have been if they ever actually made a game. Wikipedia isn't very kind to it, though.

 "Popzara Press noted the game's similarities to Square-Enix's popular Chrono Trigger..."

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet...

An ESRB rating has been given for both Chrono Cross and Final Fantasy Origins (FF1&2). Surely this means they are being ported to the PSN.

Sigh. I guess it's too much to hope for a DS port? I think the touch screen would do wonders for CC's Element Grid.

Yey for port to the PSN - if I had one (grumble)

I agree for the cross DS port that'd be sweet! They should port it to the 3DS just sayin'!
