Welcome. Zabuza rules.
What bitter, awful fruit is this, where fans are left to struggle with diminishing returns and even a retranslation cannot excite people?I think it's a case of fan involvement only going so far. Without a real new Chrono game things can look bleak. But, as I've said before to you, Zeality, glimmers of hope exist. Chrono Crisis and Chrono Trigger +, together, may be the key to reawakening the fan community.(Hell, I'd love to see the two projects work together a bit...perhaps with references to Crisis hidden in + somewhere.) A release of Chrono Trigger to the Virtual Console may yet prove to Square that the market exists for a new Chrono game to be created by them, as it most certainly does.
Can I Ask?
Does Anyone here have the website to download chrono trigger...
I Have Find All The Website But I Can't find anyone...
please help me..
thank you very much...
I recently started a new website. You guys have my old Chrono Cross website listed under the Community Map. I sent in an email saying that I will be updating it soon. For now, I'm focusing on a Chrono Trigger fan website:

Hope I don't get killed for posting that link, please be easy :x I'm new here. I will work the petition thingy into my site to help the community raise awareness. :D

NO YOU CAN'T!!!!!!
Google is your friend though.
Emuparadise? You can't get a THING from them! What I'm getting sick of is that we get the same answer every time we ask about a new Chrono series game: "We aren't working on it, but there's a chance of one eventually." Isn't that like giving us false hope? Anytime we try a good remake or fangame (CT: Resurrection, for instance) it gets a "cease and decist". It's like they want to starve us all off or something while gorging Final Fantasy fans. Anyone heard about that new game "Blue Dragon"? A good portion of the Dream Team is working on it together. They said getting them to work together was part of the problem behind a new Crono game, so I think this proves they want to avoid the Crono series as best as they can.Remember, kids: companies always like to piss off their customers and think of nothing else but ways to do so, nevermind the fact that would seriously harm their profits and go against what a company stands for!

A "good portion"? There's the co-supervisor Sakaguchi, the character designer Toriyama, and the assistant interim composer Uematsu. That's just 3 people, who weren't even the leading ones on CT.
Better than nothing, right?
Better than nothing, right?
Yeah, but not better than Baten Kaitos...
Emuparadise? You can't get a THING from them!
Almost no one has ever managed to beat the totally broken final boss in SaGa Frontier 2, and yet we still got Unlimited Saga...
Well, at least this time almost nobody even played that weird Unlimited Saga game at all.
in an unrelated matter i read somewhere on a news report type site that the makers of Super Smash Bros. were in talks w/ square enix to put crono in SSBB. ne one kno nething about that?
Most people will argue with you about LttP>OoT, but I won't. ^_^
As for those other Mana games, I haven't played them and don't know if the same teams worked on them all, but I HAVE played Seiken Densetsu III/"Secret of Mana II" and it is better than Seiken Densetsu II/Secret of Mana.
i read somewhere on a news report type site that the makers of Super Smash Bros. were in talks w/ square enix to put crono in SSBB. ne one kno nething about that?I heard about that, too. It was actually just a contest Nintendo of Japan opened up. They took multiple non-Nintendo owned game characters (MegaMan, Solid Snake, Crash Bandicoot and the like) and asked fans who they'd like to see in Brawl. Guess Crono was on that list, but we all know who won :|

What a pity. I can just imagine Crono in there. He'd own with his cyclone (I think they would put that in) and very probably his Lightning magic.
actually... crono was never a character considered for smash brothers brawl...
he was just one of the many (as said, with mega man, solid snake, etc.) POSSIBLE choices that non-nintendo companies could add. cloud strife and sephiroth were mentioned, too...
(please - no more sephiroth!)
I wish there was a way to get SE moving on a 3rd Chrono game.
i think the most logical point right now is a DS port of Chrono Trigger...
Final Fantasy 4 DS, a game that is only available on one console in one country (for less than two months) is selling like hot-cakes!
How hot are these hot-cakes, you ask? Well, how about more than half-a-million copies, or 564, 895 copies since December 20, 2007, to be more precise!
(please - no more sephiroth!) *or Magus!*
1) Firefly. The staggering sales of the DVD Seasons spawned Serenity.Well how could we deny this its just reward?
I feel that it's our duty as a fan community to make an effort to purchase a Trigger remake on DS if it ever occurs - the sales figures from those will weigh in majorly on any sort of decison to produce new content for the series by upper management. The almighty dollar sadly calls the shots.
Off the top of my head I can think of two major victories by fan communities, albeit not in video games:
1) Firefly. The staggering sales of the DVD Seasons spawned Serenity.
2) Dead Like Me. Same as above, although the movie is still in production / nearing completion.
Gotta spread the Chrono love!
It's like God of War for PSP, the PSP is weaker than the PS2 but this guysmade a great work...
In CT I saw almost PSX 2d graphis for the Super Nintendo.
Us Fans truly have the game at heart!
Hey, remember when everyone said that Final Fantasy XI was preventing us from seeing a new Chrono because it sucked up much of the talent that otherwise could have been employed in producing Chrono Break? Well, guess what:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_Square_Enix_project
Better than nothing, right?
Yeah, but not better than Baten Kaitos...
Hey all,
I'm new to this forum but have been a loooong time chrono fan. First of all, I'd like thank Zeality et al for such a great site...very complete and well laid out :)
I'd love to see a new game out, but I wan't too optimistic until I saw the CT-DS game coming out this November. Made me wonder why, of all the hit games Squaresoft had to choose from, did they remake this and not, say another FF game (the DS is powerful enough to pull this off..so why not?). In addition, the kids that play DS were probably not old enough to know CT from the SNES, so why re-introduce it with all the work that goes into porting a game (especially to a more eye-candy intensive generation)? It's almost like if there were a port of "Kid Icarus" for the N64...it would make you wonder.
My guess is that they are gauging interest in CT not just from us stalwarts, but also from new, younger gamers. If the game's sales beats their markeing expectations, I'd expect Chrono Break to be slated for production once Square-Enix has the resources in place to do it (Kato being the primary creative necessity). So...buy buy buy as many copies as you can! ;-P
Anyway, here's to being hopeful of a new game in this great series...I just hope the plot is a little less complicated and better paced than CC (although I still liked that one too).
Sample 1 USA Letters
Dear Square Enix,
I am a fan of the Chrono series, which includes the games Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. I very much enjoyed these titles, and am part of a large community of fans who share in my experiences. I am writing you to express my desire for a new Chrono game, and my full support in purchasing a new title. The series is unique, engaging, and very fun, and I would be overjoyed to see a new addition to its already outstanding lineup of games.
Sincerely,
Name

Given the state of Square-Enix for the past several years, I wouldn't want them to make a new Chrono game.Agreed. After seeing them screw up Seiken Densetsu 3, I got really fed up.
Square Enix is Making a profit off re-release The Final Fantasy that is enough to keep any company afloat. Then the next big money maker is the Dragon quest series. This means A) Chrono Trigger will not be on any virtual console sense Square Enix can make just as much money as any new, Retail game. And B)They are vary safe, they know Chrono trigger will MOST LIKELY sell, and sell big, but why do that when they know Final Fantasy, And Dragon quest WILL sell, and sell big.
What? I said that it wouldn't be a downloadable game it would be its own, which is correct. Plus I said that there other games would get more attention during production which is true. I wasn't wrong in any way.
I'm going to write my letter to SE as my New Year's resolution.
My 30 page letter.
Before we have a new Chrono game I would like a Chrono Trigger PC and have their be extended side-quest by downloading patches for free. (See What If: Chrono Trigger PC) thread for more info)
For those who have a laptop imagine playing an improved Chrono Trigger on the go? much better then the DS version.
I am tired so good night before I become stupid. :picardno
it's been my theory that they've been working on a sequel since Cross came out and have just been fine-tuning it to look really badass when they release it.
Wow, you must be like six. Square Enix of America and Europe do nothing. They are just business and translations, for now at least. Unless you can get that to Japan, which most likely would still do nothing, you're wasting time.

Well, we can be certain that Square will probably remake Cross first. I know this is kind of far-fetched, but the Chrono Trigger ending hinted at Chrono Cross. Besides, what if a person played Chrono Trigger series for the first time on the DS? That person would want to know what happens to the gang after Crono and Marle get threatened by Dalton and Magus looses his memories. A remake/port of Cross would bridge the two together, and clear out the contradictions in the Cross plot and hopefully have a better ending. Then if the reception is good enough, then a new game would most likely appear.
But, honestly, I've never seen another fan community like this. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places online. But I've never seen this much devoted to a video game. The Mario Bros don't get this kind of analysis and half crazed, frothing at the mouth collection of theory and they've made ten million games starring them (granted that's a different company, but the principle is the same).
I don't think that completely limits the idea of a Cross Remake/Port. I believe Mitsuda and Kato were both freelancers when Trigger received its port.
No one said it was Square of Japan. And also I can assure you one is FF15. Im telling you that will be E3's announcement. And it will be multi platform until they see the sales of 13 on the 360. Then it will be pure PS3. But do we have anything on KH3? or just that its being made? Also we know of a FF7 project too. That leaves one we don't know.

Why would they announce FF15 when FF14 isn't out yet? And on what basis are you assuming that the 360 version will fail?
According to a page I read on wikipedia, FFXV has a release date of 2013... odd.
1. that's 14 and 2. No MMOs are a fad WoW is die and Square is just trying to keep a steady flow of income. However I'm telling you FFXV is being announced either at this E3 or at the next TGS. Versus 13 will be talked about as well as Agito at E3 in my opinion. I'm sure 15 is being developed, if not Square is either stupid or could possibly be ending FF(unlikely).
Speaking of online games, wouldn't a MMO in the Chrono universe be cool ? Time travelling would add a lot to exploration ! You could be a human (from any time), a Mystic or a Robot. Just a thought. ;)
Nevertheless, I'm intrigued by the sudden appearance of these Chrono Trigger collectible figures a few months ago. Is Chrono the only long-discontinued property for which SE has released figures recently? It's a little late to cash in on CT:DS with these, but the release would be well-positioned to coincide with the announcement of a new Chrono game.
"I have a rule on things like this...a personal philosophy.
If the chances are not good for a good sequel, I would still like to see something. I would not care if Chrono Break is utter crap; it would be expanding upon the series, and it would give us a new area to delve into.
Trigger and Cross have their own worth. An interloping game cannot subtract from those games. It can tarnish the name of the Chrono series, but I can live with that."

Hey the link was broken for me, it took me to some random site. Is your site still up and running? If so I would love to see it :)
There needs to be a serious shake-up in Square/Enix's leadership for that to be even remotely possible. Such a thing may lie in the near future considering how Final Fantasy 14 turned out, but I wouldn't count on it. Those executives are still in the denial stage of grief.

What i found amusing is that they didn't release CC on PSN.I actually checked for it on a regular basis for a while but gave up.
Speaking in terms of the vantage point of just the original, Chrono Trigger, I don't even think Schala's fate was any more important of a loose thread to tie up than other things like Robo's. We don't see Schala vanish, we just last see her slumped over in the Ocean Palace as it's going down. And all that's said about her is that 'no one has seen her since.' So until Chrono Cross (and RD) expounded upon what happened to her, I think it was reasonable for me to just assume she perished in the palace collapsing, nothing more. Which would mean that to me, there were NO important loose ends that needed addressing. Isn't that at least a valid thought?
I understand that things change as series continue - all I'm saying is if they could make a second entry based on one unknown eventuality (Schala) that might not even be noteworthy to some players of CT, they could certainly make a third from some other loose thread from CC that we don't think much of YET merely because nothing's been made of it yet. I hope I'm explaining my thoughts well enough lol.
I guess overall, I thought that CT was complete in and of itself, but CC opened it wide up and left it vulnerable while at the same time making it so complicated that it was hard for me to grasp it, all happening because of one loose thread that I didn't even agree was an important or existing loose thread in the first place. So I'd either have liked it to just stay one game, or I'd like a 3rd, to help me grasp the 2nd better. But just leaving it at 2 games, and hard to grasp, leaves me feeling a bit empty about the whole thing.... Even for those who don't feel the same way, do you at least understand what I mean?
Anyway, that's just how I feel. Nothing more than that.
Could it be a prequel?
Not sure whether that works well for Chrono series, but a story about the rise of Zeal... would be nice.
Chrono Break was the U.S. changing the name from Chrono Brake in Japan. So Chrono Break is an incorrect title and has expired anyway. Chrono Brake is still trademarked.
i would BUY a DS for chrono.
True story... I DID buy a DS specifically for Chrono Trigger's release on it. I was happy with the re-translation however I did miss Frog's old dialect. He still had it but it was less Shakespearean. Oh well... But I was the first in my group of friends to buy it and many followed soon after XD

Same here! I finally got my Nintendo DS in order to get Chrono Trigger... Wise investment. And not just for Chrono Trigger!
Uh, DKC was Rare, not Nintendo..."retro revival" is just the gaming industry's term for "reboot", which you may have noted is also happening elsewhere and has been for a while now....Chrono, Saga and other Square/Enix IPs aren't expanding because producers who work on these games aren't interested in making games anymore. Tanaka isn't interested in Chrono that is why we don't have a new Chrono game. Also, outside of Nomura, no producer at Square-Enix has produced a real hit in years. It really has nothing to do with the sales of the DS remake and everything to do with there not being any team leader at Square-Enix who wants to spearhead a Chrono series.
As for SE, I think they're just letting Nomura do w/e since they know it'll make 'em moneys and because they've always got DQ to fall back on (& them KH games are pretty popular too I hear and they also publish all Taito & Eidos games now...) if the FF moneytrain ever does anything but chug along...I just want FFVI for 3DS.
I personally don't want a new Chrono game if Kato's the only one writing the script. I no longer trust him with the original Chrono Trigger cast after Chrono Cross.
I won't deny that everything else about CC is great if you manage to ignore its ties to CT.
You know, I wonder if anyone's ever openly criticized Kato for his writing in Chrono Cross.
I feel like that if the series is continued, the later installments will keep sucking more and more and eventually the series will get a bad rep just because of the suckitude of the later games.
(Admittedly, Kingdom Hearts managed to come out with six games already and it's still going strong... though as a counter-argument to that, re:Coded feels more like a prolouge to a game than an actual game...)
But... wait, I thought the whole point of CC was to tie up the loose ends left behind from CT (IE Schala and... actually, that's pretty much it).Was Schala that much of a loose end that needed to be resolved?
I have always considered Chrono to be a trilogy myself. Seeing as Cross left an open ending, I would like to see the aftermath of Cross.
A strategy game? That wouldn't be a bad idea.
Don't know about anyone having made something, but recently this maker, SRPG Studio, was recently released on Steam. Personally, I had plans to get it for FE-style game making, but if anyone ever does a Chrono tactics game, I'd be glad to offer help.
Having been playing Fire Emblem Heroes, a Chrono tactics game would be really cool. Could be an "all-star" game, recruiting characters from across time and space. Not sure where we'd get sprites for Cross characters however.
As a FE fan myself, I haven't really been a fan of Heroes. I don't seem to like summoning type games on mobile platform though, so maybe that's why.
I would much rather see a classic FE style layout and linear storyline, but again, that's just my taste.
...the ending of Chrono Cross never really addressed any of the open issues of Chrono trigger.
Everything in life has some sort of a closure...
