hoo-boy.... Well, that sucks. But, life goes on. Why do you suppose Square is so defensive of the Chrono series? I mean, I have not heard of square shutting down any other fan games, and you know there have been a lot of them. So why Chrono Trigger? Why Ressurestion? Why Crimson Echoes? Honestly, there has to be a reason. You'd think they'd get the picture that with all these hacks, and re-creations, that CT and CC are more than just a game. Yeah they have their Final Fantasy, but there are people showing hacks of FF6 on youtube, there are also people making walkthroughs of how to hack it, yet they do nothing. Chrono Trigger though...
So why? Are they just being Douche bags? Do they not realise that the Chrono series has the size of following that it does? Do they have something planned? There are so many questions that are racing through my mind writing this post. Not to mention "Yesterday" from the beatles making me depressed. You gotta think that there is a reason for this. Also, why would they make a promise like that? The open response thing. Furthermore, why wouldn't they keep it? Are they trying to Kill the Chrono series? Has it gotten too big for them? Do they wish to kill Final Fantasy, more than give the people what they want?
They don't care about the original staff working on the game clearly. I mean look at Cross. I loved Cross, but they made it without 75% of the "Dream Team". Did they just throw Cross out there to the world, as a cash cow? Did they PLAN to try and kill of the Chrono Series with Cross? I mean, they changed everything! Trigger was such a huge success, and they changed absolutely EVERYTHING!!! They didn't even keep the same characters, and they made a BS way to put Lavos in the game. Like I said, I loved Cross, I'm not hating on it for the sake of hating it. But I can't shake the feeling that Square doesn't like that CT is as big as it is, and the more I think about it, the clearer it seems to become.
I keep thinking there MUST be a reason, but I dont know what that reason could be... Everyone keeps saying chances of them having a Chrono Sequel planned are slim to none. But can you really think that? Thinking that just makes you seem like you think the Chrono series is dead. If it were dead, would they have ever released CT:DS? Would they have C&Ded a fan game for a game they planned on killing? But if that's true, then what other reason could there be? I mean, They DO care about the fans if you think about it. Fans loved FFVII. They loved it. So they expanded on it! In the span of 10 or 12 years, they came out with 2 sequels and a movie. Sure they ruined the game for alot of people. But they gave us what we wanted. Kingdom Hearts!!! Everyone loved that game. Yeah people thinks it's a childrens game, maybe even meant for babies. But when you grab that controller, and you play, you get enthralled by the story. The fans loved that. They got a sequel. They loved that! They got more!! Square TRIES to please the fans. But they can only please so many.
Clearly Square cares SOMEWHAT about it's fans. I mean, can you seriously boycott a Company for doing something that is in their full right? Can you say you will never buy another SE game again, even when they have come out with gems like FFVII, Chrono Trigger, Kingdom Hearts, FF6, FFX, and probably many more that I haven't played. This is turning into a ramble, and my thoughts are pretty much all on the table. This is disappointing, but if you think about it, it could possibly be a ray of light. Other Snes games like FF6, 5, and so on all the way back to the original. THOSE are dead. That would explain why they don't care about Rom hacks for it. But CT and CC. These games have clearly shown life. CT was the start of one of the best series of all time, CC was a very fitting Sequel that cleared the bar CT had made. They still C&D all fan projects related to CT, and in my mind that shows only one thing...
THE DREAM OF ZEAL IS STILL ALIVE!!!
