The Saturday update is coming in a day early, as I'll be out for awhile. How are things going in the Chrono world? Well, I'm pleased to report that good tidings and gifts worthy of the holidays will come early this year. As everyone knows, Chrono Symphonic is still near its release, and a few delays have been incurred in order to prepare some special bonus material that's definitely worth the wait. If you're still having doubts, it has been set in stone that Symphonic will be released before the year is out.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the fan project spectrum, the Chrono Trigger Remake Project -- which was hit with a Cease & Desist letter earlier this year -- is organizing its last few remains into a remembrance package. All the initial music bLiNd composed for it (he's since started anew, as the old music was lost in a crash) will be offered in the remembrance package, as well as screenshots and concept art of the game taken before it was shut down. At present, nearly everything is organized, and it should debut soon.
Lastly, the Chrono Trigger Coliseum -- version 2.0 -- is ready to ship, and will become available the same day Chrono Symphonic is released. This will allow hardcore Trigger fans to really party by listening to the orchestral tracks and challenging difficult ladders in the game's new battle arena. Version 2.0 fixes the bugs present in the last release, and also polishes some of its rough edges. Jsondag is proud to have the new version already fixed and ready to go, and we' d both like to thank all the fans out there for downloading it and giving it a try. At the time of this news post, this rom hack has been downloaded 1263 times -- thank you, and be ready for the new version!
So stay tuned for the gifts on the way, and who knows? More cool stuff not mentioned in this news update may be coming as well. It'll be one hell of a bang that closes out the year of Chrono Trigger's 10th birthday; be there!
