Look, I paid big bucks for Chrono Trigger back in the days of the SNES.  And I bought a Nintendo DS just for Chrono Trigger DS (which was a huge letdown, in all honesty).  So by my logic, I have all the reason in the world to have a ROM of Chrono Trigger.  Legally, morally, etc.

LONG LIVE THE CHRONO TRIGGER!
What he said.

I only fulfill that with Cross. Trigger, on the other hand...

I owned the original SNES cartridge back in the day, but we've moved around at least 5 times.  During the 2nd or 3rd, it got lost in the clean up so it's gone 3:

Hi. I'm really disappointed square did this the game would have been fun to play and I hope it gets released sometime.

I hope you don't mind if I ask you guys some questions.

Not all hope is lost until there's an official response that we can use to judge SE's attitude post-fallout. They've gotta say something eventually.


Why do they have have to say anything? They already got everything they asked for in the C&D. Why would they do anything that would just create more negative press. Especially after you guys said you are not going to do anything until you get a response and then are going to use it for more press. The posts on other sites about this seem to be decreasing and I doubt any game journalists are asking them about it or will ask them in an interview unless people bug them to do that. (It would be cool if they did ask square about it)

Are the secret behind the scenes talks people have been hinting at actual talking to eachother talks or is it we are waiting for a response to our first email talks? I hope it is the first one.

What made people so sure that the guy who posted that stuff you deleted could be fired if square saw it? I doubt he would be dumb enough to post something that would get him fired but I could be wrong.

Good luck with everything!

Thanks blarg. We're actually banking on the possibility that a Jedi Knight is whispering into Yoichi Wada's ear.

Jedi: You don't need to C&D that fan project.
SE: ...We don't need to C&D that fan project.
Jedi: Move along, Compendium.
SE: ...Move along, Compendium.


We'll be sure to keep you all up to date to let you know how that's going. In the meantime, anyone up for some Hungry Hungry Hippos?

Finalizing the compliance of the C&D... you're not doing what I think you're doing, are you?

You're not sending Anton Chigurh to kill all the beta testers... right?

Yeah, had Yoichi Wada actually played Crimson Echoes, I think there's a serious chance he would have just co-opted the project. It was that good.
.. I'm not familiar with that name, though I take it he was one of Chrono Trigger's Developers?


However, because of the fact that I'm sure 99.9% of people who would d/l this patch would have obtained a CT ROM illegally...

I'm in the 0.1% lol. I assumed a long time ago that my SNES would fail...the ironic part is, its still chugging along while nearly every system since then has failed at some time or other. They don't build things like they used to, I guess. Though on second thought, the NES requires occasional cartridge CPR.
My SNES and REAL copy of Chrono Trigger still works along with all my older consoles and games (Though I still had to download a copy for emu use <_< lol I could never afford a Copier they aren't cheep :( )

How would it be illegal to download your own game?

It isn't his game, though. It is SE's. That would be like saying it is perfectly legal for him to spend company money on personal vacations because, hey, it's his money.

According to above posts he's the president of Square Enix. Means he's the big boss right? In that case I think it's perfectly fine for him to spend company money on a personal vacation. This is a bit weird example though, but for him to download a Chrono Trigger rom would be perfectly fine. Etiquette would probably dictate a meeting with the board of directors for permission and to decide if it's ok or not, but in this case that would be a bit ridicilous.

Awwww, that's not fair, I called the Blue when I believed it existed, I challenge you for the blue one, I will use the Green and you the Yellow Hippo and however wins get's the Blue Hippo.
