If I am correct ( Chrono Brake/ Break expiration date)

[Dialga_Palkia]

We are one month away from the expiration date of Chrono Brake/Break for Japan; July 23, 2012.

Will Chrono ever see the light of day for a third series? Some say good things come in three's so who knows?

( Legends 3, Chrono 3, a game that deserves a sequel 3 ..... 2013? )

[ZealKnight]

Yeah like Portal 3, Half-Life 3, Team Fortress 3, and Final Fantasy XIII-3

[HeadlessFritz]

We should make a ceremony for CB's death.

[Dialga_Palkia]

I can't believe we're just one week away from the expiration date.

Lets raise the necessary funds and buy the rights to the name before they can renew it.

Then we will own the future of Chrono.

I support this idea!

[Lennis]

Can we even do that?  It's one thing to purchase the rights to a name, but Square/Enix still owns the rights to the franchise.  Until that changes, or S/E has a change of heart about a sequel, this is all academic.   

[Acacia Sgt]

Yeah, even if we buy the name, we still can't do anything with it unless it's for an original creation. And Square-Enix will most likely buy the rights for Chrono *insert name here* to tease us further in the mean-time... okay, that may not happen. But so long they're not interested in making another game or don't sell it, the franchise will remain in hibernation.

[Satoh]

That's not the point. The point is to do more than simply act like mosquitoes with a bunch of pointless petitions they never take notice of.

They'll take notice of someone buying what has been their intellectual property for the past what, 10, almost 20 years now?.. right out from under their noses.

Somehow I don't believe this. Japanese game developers appear to only speak in sales and price tags. From Capcom to SquareEnix. Nothing will send them a message other than money. I mean how long did it take capcom to make fighting games again? How about Megaman Legends 3? And how did they go about this, by milking them. Look at all the Street Fighter 4s they made. 4, super, arcade edition, and xTekken. Then they finally release MvC3 only to release Ultimate MvC3 six months later.

[Satoh]

Yeah, I'll never get over the MML3 travesty... and honestly I think they only started on it to appease Inafune-san... when he left they cancelled it first thing... Japan's business industry has to be the closest thing to hell on earth.

still though, it's obvious they want the name for something, otherwise they wouldn't keep reserving it. If I can piss even ONE GUY in Squenix's dev office off, I want that chance.

[chi_z]

I don't see what the problem with acquiring the chrono brake name and making our own original game would be. We could plan a game that doesn't have so many loose ends as the chrono series, and have intermultiversal/dimensional/time travel heh heh. though that might be too close to the likeness or something to show my inferior knowledge of copyrights and shite         god damn companies.

[HeadlessFritz]

Only 4 days, and the future refused to change.

[Truthordeal]

Today's the day.

[chi_z]

don't see anything showing they renewed it. also, isnt the 26th the day?
