Check this interview conducted with the Chrono Cross team (the intro and the last question on page 3, mainly):
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/402/402807p1.html
So, that's it...
Zealnote: It is made in 2003, which is sad. But still, Masato Kato wasn't even with SE again at that point, so things might be getting better. If Chrono Trigger performs well on the Virtual Console, it'll look great, so be sure to order CT when it is available.

While I did play and enjoy FFXI, I would gladly take it back for another Chrono game. Too bad they can't do 2 things at once ; ; :(.
-
My hate of MMORPGs has just exponentially grown.
-
Ugh, I thought that article was recent...that sucks, it's three years old. We'll have to make IGN ask about Chrono again. If three years of nothing have passed, then things are grim.
-
WTF!? Can't do three things at once my ass! They've been working on FFXI, FFXII and FFXIII for some time now! SE just doesn't want to make it. And you know what? I don't want to play their games.

Huh?? The teams that work on these 3 games are all different ones. The FFXI team is directed by Tanaka (FFIII, SD2, XG, CC), the FFXII one was directed by Matsuno (FFT, VS) and replaced by someone else, and the FFXIII is directed by the infamous Nomura. We could at least be glad that the Chrono Break project is not being handed over to some other team (imagine Nomura directing it).
This being said, I think now we know why Kato is participating in low quality Mana half-baked games... he's just hanging around SE hoping for them to give him the greenlight for CB :(

There has to be something we can do. I think Crimson Echoes might be the ticket. If it really takes off and spreads virally, it might give things serious vigor. It'll be our duty to finish it.

In a good way. Who knows, maybe you guys will be the saviour of Chrono? That would be such an honour.
Of course, I advise the always-great method of goin' all Rock Lee on this situation, and do whatever it takes to get Kato to spill the beans...
-
The FFXI players community should gather online and make virtual demonstrations in Vana'diel or something. That'd be funny, at least.

The way is open if we can find someone who knows Japanese. I shouldn't and can't ask KWhazit to do this, so we need to find someone.

I demand Yuuki Nobuteru reprises his role as character designer.
FUCK ALL WHO WANT AKIRA TORIYAMA.

Oh goodie. Another reason for me to hate FFXI. And FF in general.
If I could go back in time ten years (red gate FTW) and warn myself of how much I'd hate FF at this point in my life, the younger me would probably laugh and say "You're old and stupid."
~___~ Sad, sad, sad. Though I have to say--Chrono Break coming out is sort've a fear of mine right now. XD I want to finish Crisis first. It'd be HORRIBLE if we had to rewrite the WHOLE script to account for another game--and of course, another game will probably finish off the series anyway. XD
After Crisis--yeah. Then I'll be happy to play Break. XD Of course, I would have been happy to play it back in 03 too.

Give me Toriyama-sama or give me death. XD

I thought FF series was bad then and thought couldn't get any worse. Next thing you know BAM!! Another FF game fucked over the whole Chrono Break deal ;/
-
Personally, while I of course prefer Chrono over Final Fantasy, I must admit I'm getting more and more curious about this Final Fantasy XI. It's reminiscent of FFIII, an episode which I always loved because its atmosphere is very poetic and fascinating (despite the NES poor graphics or the remake SD style). FFXI's story was written by Masato Kato also, this is kind of intriguing. I'd never bother playing the game, but I'm still curious about its deep storyline. From the little I know, the Zilaart people are basically the equivalent of the Zeal Enlightened Ones.
In fact, I think it's kind of a shame that FFXI is an MMORPG. With such an atmosphere and story, it would probably have made a great offline game... and a shorter project for Tanaka's team.
-
I don't care as much as they take in creating it.
ĦĦĦbut that they already make it!!!
and that they also sell it in Spain that I am fed up that only the games of Chrono they are sold in USA and in Japan...
-
To be honest, ladies and gents, taking this much time on Chrono Break might not actually be that bad of an idea. There could be various reasons.... perhaps they're trying to make sure it's ner perfect before even giving word that it's coming out? What would it be like to show up at E3 with a near-complete game?
Also.... perhaps it's gonna be uber-long with a helluva lotta good story branches... perhaps time zones AND branching dimensions?
And if nothing else.... FFX-2 and FFXI sucked.... I hear FFXII might be good..... but regardless, Final Fantasy is dying, slowly but surely. Maybe they've got Chrono Break nigh complete for the PS3 and are failing to give word or release it until Final Fantasy actually dies? While there are MORE FF fans out there, us Chrono fans are the diehard ones. They know we'll get the game even if the company goes under. So.... petition and stuff, we should.... but ultimately we shouldn't push them too hard.... they'll come out with game in due time.
-
And until that day, I was sure that Final Fantasy XI was a complete failure for SquareEnix. Maybe I should read the news related to the FF games more carefully. But I'm so tired of the FF series, especially the latest episodes (by the way, I agree 100% with MartyExodus, FF is dying... in quality, but in popularity I'm not sure, unfortunately).
Chrono Break, dammit !
-
i'm surprised to see so many people think FF is dying, im mean XI sucked cause its a MMO and those usually suck sooner or later and X-2 was a much lower grade than X was for a sequal.
but XII apparently is pretty good and XIII looks like i could be good.
i could hardly say its dying after two games that were mediocre and sucky.
-
I knew there was some underlying evil plot to FFXI. If only I had known I had been delaying Chrono Break. I've finally kicked that habit now, but I played FFXI on and off for three years since it came out and even bought both the expansion packs. All that time and money aiding the enemy... what a waste.
-
This is why I will never buy FFXI or FFXII or anymore FF's until they release Chrono Break.

I always wanted to buy and be able to play FFXI, though now that I know it may have hurt Chrono Break's chances I'm glad that I never did.
I've been thinking about buying FFXII, seeing as how it does seem to be a good game. In all hontesty do you really believe that to go ahead and ignore it and not buying it, will help in any way for Chrono Break to happen?

Yes, if we don't buy the game, sales will drop, and maybe they'll see the light.

"Yes, if we stop giving them buying their large franchises, maybe they'll decide to take the larger risk in times of declining sales to resurrect their older franchises."

Trust me, if it works, they'll do anything to get their money back. All we have to do is send them letters saying that we will not buy anymore of their games until Chrono Break is released.
Boycotting will help to put the message through.
-
Such a boycott is beyond the Chrono Compendium's realm of power.

How so? All it really is a bunch(read: hopefully everyone) not buying SquareEnix games until the release of Chrono Break. Is there some sort of legal issue?

The scope of the Compendiums influence is several orders of magnitude beneath what would be required for an effective boycott.
-
Yes, we ought to do something really productive, like a good game with a Chrono theme, and make it successful. Much better than petitions or boycotts - they never seem to work. Btw, am I the only one to notice that Chrono Trigger did not get a GBA re-release like FFV and FFVI did? I wonder why, their PSX release was together. And those GBA re-releases tend to have interesting new content.
-
They can't think of anything to add.
If they made it it would probably have El Nido or 1999 AD.
-
Well, I can think of loads of things to add:P Schala, for example. But if they don't want make any drastic additions, which is fine since it is a re-release, even some new items would be nice. And it's just dumbness on their part - Chrono Trigger was one of their most successful games in the SNES, it doesn't make any sense to not release it on the GBA even if it is on it's current form.
-
Well as long as they still have intentions on making a new chrono game then im happy, but i think someone about chrono trigger that i believe was about a new version i hope they make a new version because i don't have chrono trigger (only chrono cross) and i'd love to get the new version of chrono trigger.
Someone commented on final fantasy 9and x-2 and said they are horrible, i think they are the best final fantasies and that 7 and 8 are the worst.
-
Let's think of it this way: How many of their games which they've already given a sequal(s) have they completely abandoned (let's say Driving Emotion whatever is the sequal to those Rad Racer games...lol) to the End of Time? I think that it'll all come around eventually when all the cards line up just right (and, honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way and I hope they wouldn't either).
I STILL HAVE HOPE!
