Chrono Cross Set for JPSN

[Schala Zeal]

I'll stick to playing CC on ePSXe.

I wonder if there are any numbers we could find on PSX games that have been ported to PSN and how the lists contrast from the JPN and NA markets...If we're missing highly rated games like CC, what else is getting cock-blocked?

What if they could put together some kind of non-FF Square PSX HD collection for PS3 and include CC (Dream list: Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve, Vagrant Story, Xenogears)? That would be awesome even though the fact that it's on the JPSN probably means it won't happen...V_V

I like your Dream List.

Wasn't it announced for the US one as well?

Unless you're privy to a brand-spanking update that the rest of us are not, then no.

Regardless... this will still breathe life into the Chrono series.

This and other announcements to come are simply minor ingredients in the cake that contains "the big one".

And we have a winner.

So much for the whole "supporting the franchise" thing.

[Mr Bekkler]

That's not entirely fair. If Cross were released worldwide on PSN, it'd be a different story. I know everybody could do what I did and find a new copy on disc on amazon and just use that with the PS3, but it's really inconvenient for some people.

Unfortunately, emulation is the next best thing, until SE decides they actually need money again.

Since when can you not play your original psx copy on epsxe? I'm pretty sure everyone should have it by now and if not it's like 12 bucks on amazon. I play all my classic psx and ps2 games on emulators now you can make them look so much better than they natively do. I am not going to support the franchise by buying games I already own either. Until they release new content they don't have my money. This goes for CT ports, and CC ports.

[gatotsu911]

My point is that when CC actually does come out on US PSN, I will be buying it for two reasons: one, so that I can legally play the game on a handheld, and two to send SE a message that people want Chrono. If you're just going to emulate it in lieu of this, you're pretty much neglecting the second reason which I'd think that as a fan you'd be concerned about. It'll be ten friggin' bucks, that's not exactly a gouge.

the Chrono series died with Squaresoft IMHO... anything SE makes would just be........well... take a look at what they made out of FF -- more gimmicks and pretty graphics to compensate for lack of a good story

[Mr Bekkler]

My point, gato, is just that emulation wouldn't effect Chrono Cross PSN sales any more than it effected Chrono Trigger DS sales. But unless/until it's made public for everyone to buy/re-buy, there are few alternatives.

[Lady Marle]

I guess we can hope for the best but prepare for... well... furthermore being ignored. That's the worst of it.

[Schala Zeal]

I think it's best it be ignored. If they can f-ck up FF, a well-known franchise, so badly, I dare not imagine what would happen with Chrono.
