http://www.rpgamer.com/news/Q4-2007/101007e.htmlMonolith Soft has recently announced its new project, a Nintendo DS game titled Soma Bringer. Little is known about it currently, except that it seems to be some kind of strategy RPG and Yasunori Mitsuda will compose the music of the game.
Additionally, one of the character looks a bit like Crono (see second screenshot
on this page); another character may look a bit like Magus (first screenshot on the page, but the sprite is too small for us to tell for sure); and the 6 Elements featured on the status screen seem to match the 6 Chrono Cross Elements. It's all coincidental and/or not meaningful, so yeah, this still does nothing for the Chrono series, but this is kinda interesting.
