I'm in full support of a letter writing campaign. Hand written letters, painstakingly scrawled out on simple lined notebook paper, pleading with SE to change their minds... that invokes emotion, but it also seems highly unprofessional. Yet millions of papers, formally addressed, neatly typed in Times New Roman 12 pt., block formating... that seems hollow. And like it could be robotic.

I say we go with hand written. In the long run we need to appeal to their humanity. Unprofessional in this case it the way to go since in all honesty by the defintion of the word we are not professional. If we do this together then the collective power of our dream can create a brighter future. Don't make me say it....fine whatever we'll call it the Power of Love...our love for Chrono!

If we all got together and sent them a check for a penny in the mail, then requested a refund, we could bankrupt SE America in postage!

It's worked before.



But really, I think everybody is showing (indirect) signs of the five stages of loss. The first is denial, the second is anger, and most of these pages here show a lot of that. Try to get past it or at least repress it so we can at least look professional as a community if SE happens to grace these forums.

I know, we already lost CT Resurrection, Crimson Echoes, Chrono Crisis, Chrono Ark (still to be made, just not as a chrono game), Playable Schala, CT Plus, 8th character mod, Prophet's Guile, and probably a couple others I'm guessing. Not all of it is because of SE, but most of it is, and it's understandable that our anger and other emotions would be directed toward them.

I'm not saying don't be angry. I'm saying use that energy creatively. Leave fifty phone messages till they can't get any messages from their clients. Don't cuss or yell or scream, just leave them nice, polite, NUMEROUS phone messages. Write annoyingly large amounts of letters and send them all at once. Literally flood their input till they have to OUTPUT something. It's better than staying here and complaining. We deserve an answer after all the money we've collectively poured into SE.

Why can't we have our fun? We already paid for it. Four times (CT SNES, CT FFC, CT DS, CC). Five, if you count the playstation greatest hits releases. Why would anybody be interested in a fanmade sequel if they hadn't played and fallen in love with the official original game? These are questions we should be asking them, not is a C&D (that was already confirmed) real. Ask them why they do this repeatedly to their fans, why they feel threatened just because their products inspire their customers. Ask them if they know that CE was a patch and not a rom. Ask if they know that it actually advertised for CTDS FOR THEM FOR FREE. Ask if they know that many people bought CTDS because of the Compendium, and would never have even known about it if this site and the people who made that little patch were never here.

But don't swear, and don't use CAPITAL LETTER YELLING, and please check your spelling and grammar so we don't all look like dolts.

I have a feeling that they actually did not expect this so they are trying to figure out what to do :lol: Honestly though there is a lot we can do, the question is what should we do besides waiting?

How about a non-ROM hack fan project (right after everyone stops asking if CE will be made into a fanfic)?

What about a non-rom hack fan project right now:wink:

I don't have anything finished but I definitely have ideas and ways to go around copyright (renaming small things and making new sprites and music). Who wants to start one?

I would've liked to make a game based on that little fanfic I wrote, but I'm not good with writing, sprite making, or music production.  :(
Sorry to disappoint....

Dude, give it up. By the time you get into actual development, Ark and Crisis will be ahead of you and close to a release, and your project won't be all that popular anymore. Besides, doing all this requires years of dedication even with skilled people, and next year around this time you probably don't care a lot for it anymore.

Mr Bekkler you have my full support on a go ahead, if it helps the community then I'm for it. A project is a huge goal though. Dark Serge is right though, it's pointless if your not fully dedicated, so are you dedicated?

If you recall, the guys working on CE weren't all that dedicated in the beginning, but look at how far they went.

I suppose I could help.  I can write a story, or some dialogue, or check spelling....  Yeah I'm more of a plot guy.  Not a very artistic mind >_>

You know, with this I get the impression that we should live in fear... not talk anything about the game... just spoilers and "Wow! this is the best game ever!!!"
Damn, we are fans!!!!!!!!! If I had the talent to draw, I would've done a lot of drawings of Trigger, Cross and others games that I like.
If I had the talent to program games, I would've done a lot of fan games, mods, hacks for me and for people like me, who enjoy the same game.
In orther words... all that I would be doing is to show how I like the game! That would my way to show my passion and love for the game!

But hey, all that is against the law.

This is all wrong. Shoudn't be like this. We were supposedly to be talking about "ZOMG, when CE will be released?" "I can't wait!" "I wanna play so bad this game!" and not "C&D letter" "CE no more" "No more  ANY chrono fan game"

Y'know, I really understand SE about CT:R, 3D and stuff, but THIS GAME!? I'm sorry but I can't understand.

I was waiting this game for a very long time! Really. I even dreamed about playing CE on my netbook. God****, I still wanna play so bad this game! I can't just say "Oh, CE got a C&D. All right, let me see another game." C'mon man, i've had hope and I still have hope that EVERYONE here will, someday, play this game. Like Stewie said: "Not now... BUT SOON!"

My dream, our dream, is alive.
