Regardless of Dark Serge's little romp of evil the fact remains SE would have comedown hard the moment they noticed CE.

And this was in respond to making a fan sequel to the unpopular and simple Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (To bad to, I had a cute story planned)
I guess it's better this way in some sense. At least the people who worked on CE won't suffer because once CE was avalible there would have been no way to stop its spreading and this could have ended badly for them...
Still It's to bad.
But if we don't look on a bright side we might get depressed. Also the showed great spirit and dedication making CE.
Still a pox on Dark Serge!
