Polling / Re: Who would you cast in a Chrono movie?
« on: May 25, 2009, 05:22:09 pm »
Akira Toriyama, to draw and animate it. If I were in charge of the situation, the last thing I would consider is stabbing the entire fanbase through the heart by making a crappy live action movie. Some things were never meant to be live action. Like DB Evolution. They tried, and failed. I heard Akira Toriyama literally cried after he saw the movie. And not out of happiness.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: You know you've been playing too much with Chrono Trigger When..........

You played too much CT if you go to a fair and run into a girl with a necklace on purpose and try to get her to accompany you.

Nope, it was going to be a free download.
As for this alienat0r guy, has anyone else wondered if he's a registered member of the Compendium? i keep wondering that myself... not that it really matters. the asshole did a very assholery thing - and for no reason, to boot. for a fan of Chrono Trigger he destroyed everything. douche.
I checked the member list, but there's no one called like that here. There is this guy called alienation but he registered in '07 and has zero posts.

Where's the passion to play as Magil, Dark Serge, and other characters in Chrono Cross? Or have you experienced a change of heart as of late?
In any case, those dreams can never be realized now that all modding activity at the Compendium has ceased.
Come on man, I'm not trying to offend you or whatever. I know how long you have worked on CE and how difficult it was. I'm just saying it's no point to say rom hacking is more likely to get shut down then original engines. You know I support modding and hacking, and it's amazing how far we've gotten with that.

« on: May 24, 2009, 05:28:57 pm »Keep in mind that Chrono Trigger: Resurrection was not a modification, but an original game engine. Modifying ROMs (especially SNES-era ones) was thought far safer than the original engine route until now.
It seems easier to find legal logic defending a mod rather than an original game.
Mod = already owning a product or have to buy it to play.
Original engine = using an idea without paying anything for it.
That's really how you put it. I could say this right now
Mod = Being lazy and stealing the original engine
Original = Creating your own engine only using some of the original characters
And it's a whole different thing. I honestly don't know anymore what's more "okay", rom hacks or original games. Both have had a C&D once in a while.

In any case, I think we shouldn't really think about what Square Enix would do right now. Sure there's a risk of them throwing a C&D again but then again maybe they won't. But what's really important, is that the fans need something to look forward to. This entire thing with the CE C&D has caused a lot of commotion, and hasn't only attracted outside fans, but it has depressed the inside fanbase as well (us). Especially with Crisis nearly falling apart and Ark going original. There's nothing anymore, absolutely nothing.
Then again, it might be good to wait a while, until everything has calmed down more.

I doubt that, I remember that alien guy saying he had sent Square Enix letters about Crisis but they never took action. Maybe they don't care as long as it's not a mod of one of their original games.

Well for a starter, we already know Square Enix got some facts mixed up, and secondly, fangame makers don't need to worry until they're at about 98% progress with their game.

Talking about "moving on", now that CE has been C&D'ed, Ark turned into an original game, and Crisis slow on progress for almost two years, anyone been thinking about starting a new project?

Well there was no reason for them to think that information was false, but there was also no reason to think it was accurate. If they would actually have checked it out and spent a little time on it, they would have known nobody planned to make a profit off CE.

I don't mean to ruin everything, but is this really going to help? Ok, the guy did send them a pack of lies, but it's partly Square Enix's own fault for blindly believing him and not doing their research.

The guy who posted it over there was some dude called alienator or whatever who just registered. Maybe an alt account, and I don't think he'd use his private email for something like that.
But you're right, if we can find out his real email we can at least bomb him with spam mails

This is really just guessing as far as I can see. Most of that stuff is completely blacked out, I don't even see how you got the letters you already have. I don't think there's much point in trying to get his name as we probably wouldn't know him anyway, and it's too hard to say for sure.
But if it makes you happy I guess

« on: May 21, 2009, 08:07:21 pm »Perhaps Square Enix thinks the Chrono Trigger engine from the SNES is outdated, as compared to the touch screen features in CT:DS, and they don't want people to think CT is downgrading. Perhaps they're too lazy to port it over to the DS.
What about the Megaman 9 route? Could it be possible that they could take the idea and release it for WiiWare?
No way, they probably don't even want to acknowledge it
