Title: What would YOU want?
Post by: Dark3mx on July 03, 2009, 02:24:18 am
This was just an idea that popped in my head.

Chrono Brake. If there is something to do about the series, it's a new game. In my opinion, it would get better results than a port or remake of the previous ones.

Theres one thing that i'm not quite sure about with Chrono Brake (if there is to be one) What if it's completely irrelevant to the Chrono series alltogether. Not only could it not relate to Chrono Trigger or Cross, but It might be a completely new theme. Which IMO would make no sense. But theres also a chance that Brake may bridge a few gaps and cliffhangers from the end of Cross and the transition between Trigger/Cross.

Why would they need to bring together the Dream Team in order to port any of the Chrono series...?? The Dream Team was overrated anyways and they were mostly like producers and the like...idk how much involvement they all had besides being big names to draw attention to the original project.

Just give me Kato, Mitsuda and I'd like Toriyama back, myself, but I'm open to pretty much any good character designer, for Chrono 4. Oh, and I don't care if any of it is on a handheld even...and ports, or more accurately remakes, are only possibly going to be on handhelds anyways these days...Hoping for otherwise is delusional.

Well, since this poll has to be Chrono related only, I don't see why would Brake wouldn't be that in this case.

I would like to see a new release if anything else.

And by the way, what's with "Brake"?  Could it mean "to stop or slow down" a plot device in the game itself?  Why not "Break", which can signify the occurrence of a broken rift in the space-time continuum?

IDK.  Either way, a new game would be good for me.

If I remember correctly, "Brake" is just a variation of "Break" So it would be like; In Japan it would be named Chrono Brake, but in the states it would be Chrono Break.

The only dream team we need is Kato & Mitsuda! 

And CB... what, you think there should even be ANY other options?

Possibly. Trigger went along the lines of the characters being Triggers for numerous events thanks to their time traveling escapades and Cross for crossing between dimensions. Radical Dreamers is self explanatory(maybe their thief group?).

As for my vote, and apparantly EVERYONE'S VOTE(why wouldn't it be?)-
A new Chrono game. We got CTDS for some new import. 3D graphics would be nice, Cross import would be nice, MMO would be nice, but not even all of those at the same time could top a new Chrono.
Not sure if there is even enough character designs original to Chrono to warrant an MMO anyways. Most of the people would just look like average people. Nothing special to them.

All of them is nice a nice gift, but as ONSLAUGHT stated, a new Chrono games are our top priority. In this sense, this can be whether a true sequel featuring any of previous characters from Chrono Trigger,Radical Dreamer and Chrono Cross or a completely new games featuring new Characters and possibly new setting.

I hope they will hire a new composer for any Chrono installments accompanying Yasunori Mitsuda. His late work has been a slightly letdown, although I doubt he will continue be like this forever. And of course Kato is an important person, no Kato no Chrono.
Not no Crono or no Serge thus no CT/CC like previous hardcore fan stated   :?

I accept any consoles they will put it in, even for handhelds.

btw I suggest you add spin-off option for the poll.

While I'd really love for there to be a full-3D remake...I'ma go with Chrono Brake/Break! :)

New game all the way.  And I have faith that it would not be a letdown.

I sort of felt similarly about not really thinking a Chrono MMO would work. Talk to Krispy. He convinced even me (with an ardent dislike of MMOs) that the idea is sound.

Easy question, IMO. New game.

Brake.

Remember that thread I made a while ago about the possible meanings of "Brake"? Yeah, can't wait to yell "CALLED IT".

I love how everything has 1 vote and then new game has 20 votes. :lol:
Perhaps it'll change. My who can take Crono poll started like that, everything was empty except for other. But it's grown overtime.
And so'll this... maybe...  :mrgreen:
Personally I just don't see why we wouldn't want more Chrono. Why would we want more of what we've complained isn't enough?
Title: Re: What would YOU want?
Post by: V_Translanka on July 05, 2009, 03:35:02 am
I haven't voted, but only because I don't really care about the original Dream Team getting back together...and because I don't think the options should be limited to those systems...Over time the options will be dated because those systems will become old hat.

I haven't seen the Dream Team work together on an Xbox 360 Project since Blue Dragon.  Though I have to admit despite not going into anything innovative, I liked it for its traditional approach to JRPGs (perhaps a little too much).  That, and the static facial expressions were a bit of a turn-off.  Nonetheless, a new game should at least be up for consideration.

Blue Dragon didn't have the full dream team on it.

I'd love the new game, but one thing that worries me is canonical. Would we want a game that is canon to Trigger and Cross or one that's more on its own, like Radical Dreamers?

One thing that they desperately need to keep up with the times for a third Chrono game is voice overs, which mean voice actors. I can smell the fandub opportunities from here, hehehehe.

Then again, I'm greedy.

Crono = Gilbert Gottfried

Lucca = Whoever played Natasha Fatale on Bullwinkle
Robo = James Earl Jones
Frog = Patrick Stewart
Ayla = Franka Potente (doing a Swedish accent)

Isn't James Earl Jones dead? I suppose we could resurrect him...nah, that'd never work.

Lord J, if you're being serious, well, as far as I can tell, James Earl Jones is still alive.

I merely commented on the James Earl Jones one because it could actually happen.

And no, he's not dead. I got him mixed up with someone. Eh, there are probably thousands of James Jones out there.

It doesn't need voice overs! Zelda's still great and why? Lack voice overs! It's better without the voice overs as well cause then, you want to change character names? You got it!
And no, not have it done like Dragon Quest VIII. that was kinda stupid, in the middle of talking and then a blank where the name should be.

But improved graphics of course. I could do sprites, but you have to actually put a decent effort into it, something Square Enix has been lacking with lately. Even with the FF series. FFIV The After Years.

I don't see how Cross is any more or less canon than Radical dreamers.

Radical Dreamers is not not Chronoverse canon; it's outside the main sequence canon. Chrono Cross was made after Radical Dreamers and explicitly mentioned that the events of Radical Dreamers occurred in another dimension. Thus, RD did not occur in the same dimension that Chrono TRigger did, whereas CC did occur in the same dimension as CT (notwithstanding that that dimension had been temporarily split in twain).

I don't like it that way, myself. I'd prefer that RD was the direct sequel and CC the "it happened in another dimension" offshoot, simply because the CC plot is fucking murder to work with in terms of writing the next game in the series. But canon is canon!
Title: Re: What would YOU want?
Post by: Acacia Sgt on July 15, 2009, 12:58:10 am
Well, but remember that the CT events also happened back in the RD dimension, just without reviving Crono, but the rest is like the game, or should I write more correctly, the game itself? I don't see why not.

And just because it happened in another dimension doesn't mean it's not canon, or part of the main sequence canon either. It's just that were are not following it from it's point of view, rather from CC's canon, where indeed is 'another dimension's events'.

Besides, what is Cross, other than RD's 'upgrade', technically speaking?
Title: Re: What would YOU want?
Post by: V_Translanka on July 17, 2009, 07:14:33 pm
Each game starts in a new dimension/timeline/what-have-you (CT-Entity, RD-w/e, CC-Home World/Serge Alive). I think that's all the canon the series has ever really given us.

I think RD starts well before the death of Crono...I thought it was theorized that the split occurred way back from when the FF split from Lavos, thus giving us such a different-looking shard...
