Covering 38 years of history of the genre, it looks like it will include information about games and series, covering aspects like the gameplay, art, music, among other stuff. Looking at the section of series/game it will include, both Trigger and Cross are on the list. The book will be available in June.Hmm, looks like an interesting project. I wonder what will it say about the Chrono series, heh...
