its a tough call really. Chrono didnt talk, so really its up to someones imagination what he would say when he got heated up. Sounds reasonable :P

First things first:  We could only find the following source. This is unconfirmed I'd like to see atleast 2 sources saying this but until then we are counting on rpgsite.net being truthful:


lol

not necessarily, a receptionist isnt supposed to discuss that kind of thing anyway. A simple "i cant speak on legal matters, would you like to be transfered to voicemail?" (a response that iv gotten from other representatives) wouldv been nice, but if she'd been hearing this call alot she may have been sick of it.

Phelph,

Did she literally not even let you talk to her? What did you say/ask?


--JP

she said her little introduction, and then i told her i was looking for information about a c&d that was issued to chronocompendium, and whether she or someone else could confirm it, and she said nothing and hit the transfer button.

Square might be lenient because only the buggy, 75% version got out. If the more complete, more fun 98% beta got out they might be more inclined to sue.

assuming the C&D was real, i cant imagine square would know the difference between the 98% and the alpha. Its not as if square saw any version of the game when they sent that letter (besides maybe the demo). So why would the early version be any different to them than the finished product? The letter also made square appear to have minimal understanding of what the mod even was (temporal flux overriding copy protection). So if they did care about this, no reason to think theyd look at a download of a rom that said "98% finished" and then go "oh, this must only be the 75% version, its okay to release that. Oh, its also okay to use our copyrighted music, and content and images in youtube videos and promote those as the game we told you to cease all activity on, do that as much as you want too."

in other news, i called again yesterday, the receptionist doesnt even talk to me after saying how can i help you, and transfers me to leave a message for one of their PR people.

Hey guys... If there is ever time, and as a favor to all those Chrono fans that have never played it... Can there be a Prophet's Guile playthrough too? I'd love it, and I'm sure others would too ;) ..


Prophets guile is still on romhacking.net (they havnt gotten their C&D yet).

wellll, good to know.

edit: but, the point remains i wouldnt expect square to have thought it was highest quality product to come out of modding culture and see it as a threat. But guess you can never knowww.

11
true, but relevant nonetheless. Hopefully the biggest difference between the two situations is that vivendi never intended to continue that series, and maaaybe square-enix does. But oh well.

12
CE was literally the highest-quality product ever to have arisen from videogame modding culture.

Ouch, yeah have a slice of humble pie. Firstly i dont think somthing counts has having "arisen" if it was never released. Secondly, theres a wealth of very professional fan mods out there. DotA for one, or a more relevant example is Kingsquest 9(who received their own C&D from vivendi universal). Point is, this wasnt something the culture has never seen and completely awe-shook people with preview clips of sprites from the original game with some sprinklings of inserted text. Im looking forward to seeing these full playthrough videos.

13
...Soooo, yeah. That probably has something to do with why we're taking leaks so seriously and banning people even for toying around and posting false leaks.

take a deep breath and realize: the creators would never lose 150,000 dollars on this. Look at youtube, before google bought it legal threats werent holding a drop of water, why? there were plenty of infringements there, but the owners of youtube didnt have any money worth seizing. By your logic the original owners of youtube shouldv lost millions and millions that they didnt have out of thin air, 150k per infrigement. It was only after a company like google bought it which had real assets did legal threats even start to become a real issue.

14
Once it is released there is nothing square or the courts can do to delete or forbid it from the Internet. Prophet's guile is still hosted on romhacking.net and zophar and a bunch of other sites. I wonder why Square isn't C&Ding them for that and all the other romhacks on their sites. Doesn't seem fair


Thats a good point. Prophets guile is still on romhacking.net. Square doesnt care, and to be honest probably doesnt care about any of this.

15
Oh oh, and to clarify, i was never one of the "doubters" who thought the project didnt exist or wasnt really close to completion. I simply doubt the C&D, and am not sure why it would be hoaxed. My preferred thought is that its still going to be released at the planned date and this was a (poorly conceived) plan to drum up interest in the final few weeks (and other projects have done this as well).

But will just have to wait till things clear up.
