What Chrono Trigger Fanboys Really Wanted in a Sequel

I love how whenever I say that Chrono Cross is a good game, somebody tries to be AN HERO and continuosly insult me, either without use of punctuation or eccessive use of the Shift/Caps Lock key.


I'm sure they would buy this game.

Sorry TacT, where was that? A reaction on Crisis forums or just in general?

Sounds more like a continual reaction on GameFAQs definitely.

EDIT: Jeeze, I didn't even realize until now that this was my...

Yeah, it pretty much goes without saying.

Another point zeality makes, if he realized it or not.

Chrono Trigger was never set up to be a direct sequel. How could it be when all the characters moved on with their lives and returned to the appropriate timelines? It would be be downright silly pairing them all up again for another crazy adventure. If they did that, it would be a lot like how zeality said the sequel should have been like. It just doesn't work.

A sequel to cross? Yes, that could certainly happen and it not be totally lame. Though I would much prefer if SE ever gives FF a rest, that they would make another sequel like chrono cross. It may be a bit difficult, but with some creative writing it's possible.

He meant as in with Crono and co. The other two are continuations of the world.

[Cubemario]

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. As for radical dreamers, isn't that totally disjointed from the others? Besides a reference from it in cross, doesn't it take place in a different dimension?

It's implied it's Trigger's world, since Kid is trying to steal the Frozen Flame for Lucca, who wants to place it on Crono's grave. So, in RD, it's a continuation of a version of CT's story in which Crono wasn't revived.

...Then again, didn't Cross replace it as the game with 'more plot priority' or something?

[Cubemario]

I don't really know a lot about radical dreamers. I will say that cross has some dialogue from radical dreamers (at least I think it's from the game) that suggests that the game took place in a different dimension.

Look at 2:46

Technically all of the games take place in a new timeline, though (CT=Entity's changes, RD=w/e, CC=Serge not dead). To me, it's the standard of the series, really...And RD has Magus in your "party"...I know that's not "Crono & Co.", but it's part of that bunch anyways, which is slightly more than you can say for CC, though Crono & Co. sort of cameo in CC...*shrugs*

[Romana]

Well, I think RD was the canon 'continuation' to CT until Cross appeared and sort of retcon'd RD's events (by waving it off as a parallel universe and making it clear in-game). Probably simply because RD wasn't well-known at all at the time and Cross was immensely popular.

[ONSLAUGHT]

Hilarious, and I'd buy it.

[Vehek]

This is perfectly possible TF stuff, guys...

But you wouldn't be able to pull off the stunning lens-flare 3D in the CT engine.

[V_Translanka]

2D lens flares would be extra awesome.

0_o . . . agreed

I have to point out your one-word post or else I'd look like a hypocrite who didn't point it out just because the person agreed with me...
