Doesn't lead anywhere anymore.) and presented with a moderately convincing mock-up of an official Square-Enix announcement declaring that they had partnered with the Chrono Compendium for the purposes of creating a new fan-based Chrono game. The page looked exactly like a number of the pages on the actual Square-Enix website, and every button on the fake page linked to a real page on the Square-Enix website. I'm assuming Ramsus was the one who arranged all this. I just wanted to say well done; good April Fools joke. Although, I am glad you took it down early. It was annoying not being able to navigate to any of the normal compendium pages or access the forum.

Yay friends! Logged brifye19 Architect of Kajar Porrean (+50) Posts: 76 The black wind howls again... Re: Nicely done « Reply #2 on: April 01, 2009, 08:03:51 pm » I was so fooled. It didn't even occur to me that it was April Fools day.

I was actually convinced that the website was gone. I messaged Faust to ask what this was and thats when I found out. That was the first April Fools joke I EVER fell for. Very funny...

Square Enix should totally do that too.

I was annoyed that I kept getting the news feed, before it clicked. Logged Print Pages: [1] 2 « previous next » Chrono Compendium » Zenan Plains - Site Discussion » General Discussion » Nicely done
