While we're on the subject of a main character...

I'd like to know more about what you guys want with that. I'm talking about the main main character, the obvious leader. Firstly, should he be a silent protagonist again? Or should the main character talk this time around? What should he (or she??) be like? Cool, tough, and good looking like Serge and Chrono? Any traits? Should it be a boy or a girl? Or something entirely new?

Oh don't worry, everyone is a prick in some way.

But yeah that's pretty much like a hardcore stoner saying "What cigarettes prices have been raised to 10 dollars, I quit smoking tomorrow."

For me, the bottom line is that no matter what happens (unless Square capitulates and lets you guys release the game), I will never, ever, EVER forgive Square for this. I don't care how polite they are and I don't care what anyone says, I will hold this grudge against them until the day I die and there's only one thing that would change that.

Don't be ridicilous, you know you can't possibly keep that promise.

What about combination between world map and locations? Would you guys want it like Chrono Trigger, with towns on the world map, and you enter houses from there? Or like Chrono Cross, the entire location as a whole on the world map and you navigate a town rather than just the world map.

So I emailed Squeenix and telling them I planned on making a huge Chrono fangame (I have no such plans (yet), but I wanted to check this out) and asked them how free I would be to use their copyrights. Well these dudes are even worse then I thought.

So yeah, basically you can't use any of their stuff at all, nothing, nada, or they have reason kill your project.

Then it's probably KHIII, as they have been known to be working on that. Seriously, it's just not going to happen. And imagine what it would be like if they announced such a thing. 5/10 of the audience would be like "Where did that come from?", 3/10 will be like "HELL YEAH A NEW CHRONO GAME" and 2/10 would be like "What's Chrono Trigger".

Well, if you believe Wikipedia, Chrono Brake is still registered in Japan.

I don't have any faith at all in them announcing a Chrono game though. After all these years and after what they pulled? Nah, I just can't believe in that anymore.

Keep your pants on, it's probably just a new FF, DQ, and KH, their three favorite cashcows.

This isn't meant to be hilarious, nor is it meant to be depressing.

Just remember, our planet's dream is not over yet  :D

Loving all the replies, very good guys. Keep it coming  :D

*Holds up Astral Amulet*

Let's cross the dimensions for a second.

Let's say there's a parallel world out there where Square Enix loves their Chrono fans and made a new Chrono game.

How would you like it to be?


Main questions:
- New location? If yes, what kind of setting would it have to be?
- New cast of characters?  If yes, what kind of characters would you like to see?
- New Lavos creature or a new version of Lavos? Or an entirely new enemy? Who should be the antagonist in this game?
- Time travel and / or dimension crossing? Yes or no? Or something completely new? If yes, what?
- New gameplay or not? New battle system? New magic? Also let's hear any good gameplay ideas you have.
- Who would have to draw the characters? Do you want Mr. Toriyama back, or Nobuteru? Or someone else?
- Name the characters who would definitely, no matter what, have to make a cameo appearance. Can be anything, from playable characters to NPC's to Nu's.
- Which time period has to be in it no matter what?


I'd like you all to answer these questions seriously. Also, if you know any other good questions, tell me and I'll add them to the main post.

Here's my own quick list of answers, I'll go into detail later when discussion gets heated up.


- New location? If yes, what kind of setting would it have to be?
Yes, a new location. I'd like to think that the planet is bigger then the Zenan mainland and El Nido. But, it would also be good to visit old locations again. But definitely a new location on top of it. As for the setting: Winter. The only snow we ever see is in 12,000 BC and Death Peak, and snow towns would be pretty awesome imo.
- New cast of characters?  If yes, what kind of characters would you like to see?
Yeah, a new cast. Just like Cross did. Not so many playable characters though. While there are new characters I would like them to resemble the previous characters. Like a possible love interest between two main characters for example. (Chrono-Marle, Serge-Kid, you know).
- New Lavos creature or a new version of Lavos? Or an entirely new enemy? Who should be the antagonist in this game?
New antagonist. We've seen Lavos by now. I'm really not sure what kind of antagonist it would have to be though. Need to think more about this.
- Time travel and / or dimension crossing? Yes or no? Or something completely new? If yes, what?
I say time travel still in there, but no dimension crossing. Also something new would be good, but I'm not quite sure what.
- New gameplay or not? New battle system? New magic? Also let's hear any good gameplay ideas you have.
I'd like the traditional Trigger battles, no elements stuff, but I wouldn't mind off-screen battles.
- Who would have to draw the characters? Do you want Mr. Toriyama back, or Nobuteru? Or someone else?
Much as I love Toriyama, Nobuteru's portrayal of Serge and Kid has attracted me even more. I say Nobuteru.
- Name the characters who would definitely, no matter what, have to make a cameo appearance. Can be anything, from playable characters to NPC's to Nu's.
Belthasar, Toma, Nu's obviously, Johnny, Gaspar, Melchior maybe, Chrono Marle & Lucca (big maybe though)
- Which time period has to be in it no matter what?
1999 AD, 2400 AD

Now let's hear your answers.

The point of this topic? Well, I'm trying to get the spirits up. While it's unlikely Square Enix will ever make a new Chrono game, we can still dream about how it would be like if they did. This is also a good topic for potential fan projects out there, now you can get to know what the fans want.

He has a point somewhere though. As much mourning as we're doing, it's starting to look like with CE the entire fanbase fell apart. But because of the C&D we have gained a lot of new members and supportes. We should take advantage of this somehow.

What would you suggest?

Don't know, but it's now or never. We have everyone's attention

Faust: Good to hear, already can't wait.

There is something I'm quite curious about.

Let's say Square Enix never sent you a C&D, and you released the game as planned. Would they still be able to sue you afterwards? Or would it have been their own mistake for not sending out a C&D?

Funny thing about Chrono Cross is, it doesn't matter who you have in your party. At any point in the game, you can have whoever your want as party members. Ofcourse you still need to have Serge/Lynx, and you can only pick out of the characters you recruited, but besides that it's entirely up to you. You don't even need Kid. There is no point in the game where you need to have her in the party to be able to beat the game.

Ofcourse, to do all sidequests and whatever, you still need specific characters, but for just beating the game you can pick whoever the hell you want. Characters that are necessary in cutscenes will automatically pop up if they're not in your party.

Anyway, what I would change about Cross? Make Serge talk. And make him have an attitude. Yeah, f*ck you Leena, go get your damn scales yourself.
