The fact that it's a mod of an existing game helps. Though CE boasts professional level quality.

Moreover, Prophet's Guile was released one year ago and SE hasn't stopped it.

Seems like most of the "emulators this probably won't work on" angles are covered, but I'll be testing it out on PSP. Just an FYI.

You know what I want to see? I want to see SE's lame ad campaign for CTDS (Good Morning, Crono!) to show up, then like the text would melt, turn red & become the CE logo or something...

Heh, the opening lines of the CE teaser trailer were meant to be a spoof on the Square Enix ad for CT:DS, actually. Only the CE teaser ups the ante by showing actual text that appears in-game.

It could totally be all blood-like with over the top heavy screaming music accompanied by a huge flashing "COMPENDIUM IS FUCKING METAL"

I wish you guys had waited to unveil the website until the actual release date.  That way there would be no way a C&D could happen... It could've totally been off the radar and suddenly... BAM!  IT IS HERE.

We were pretty good than most about that, I guess. Most fan project leaders seem to thrive on attention, no matter if their news updates are relevant or not, or actually backed by hard work instead of lofty promises. But CE was all about silently finishing the game and storing up energy for a MASSIVE DAMAGE release. That's sort of how it should be done, because the entire community loses credibility when people are like "Look look at my project; I haven't coded one fucking thing, but it's going to RULE because I'm going to have playable Turnip in CT" and attract fans, only to never deliver.

I like it, the site is simple clean and professional. Crimson Echo is under wraps until just before release then news should spread like wildfire, all building up to its finial release.

But what will happen when Squenix gets wind of it?

I do very much so enjoy the trailer site. It's very nice. Not a whole lot of the buttons one would expect. I love the end of it.

Hurrah, Crimson Echoes team! Let's hope they didn't release where the hell they live to the public, shall we?

CE is really going to set the bar for fan projects in so many respects. It's probably the most massive game modification ever accomplished as far as I'm aware, and Square Enix's reaction to it is going to define viral advertising methods for all fan projects from here on out.

Even though the teaser site is out, the CE team has been extremely conservative about viral advertising up to this point. You don't see any recent mention of it on GameFAQs or other gaming communities, so I think the project is going to be very safe until release. In May, Square Enix will be officially ninja'd.

Ramsus did the teaser site btw. I'm not sure whether he did the artwork though; I should probably make that my desktop background for awhile...
