Good to see so many who are interested.
Rebooting Project ZEAL sounds interesting, but... what about the original authors? Those were their ideas, their hard work... Seems kind of wrong unless we hear from the others that it's okay.
A Project ZEAL reboot isn't necessary. In fact, I would love if we could create something original to the Chrono fandom, instead of reusing others' work. I hate to see ZEAL discontinued, but perhaps it has served its use as great inspiration and a testament to the Compendium's skill? As for an original plot, it would need to be vast enough to be covered from multiple angles. I like TheMage's idea for this reason, as the Fall of Guardia was widely left untold. We could also go in a drastically different direction; say, another planet? Space travel is possible, as seen with Starky. Or a scenario set in the distant future. What about the history of Lavoids? Just tossing some ideas.
In my opinion, though, I think we should leave out main characters from the games (Crono, Serge, etc.), or at least relegate them to sub-character status. I believe their presence would take away from the original characters we create.
Mfwahahaha! While working on Moonlight Reckoning I DID have a brainstorm about an awesome plot that could make the CE team shit bricks (if the writers of CE helped us, of course). I was intending to make it into a short 3D film, but I wouldn't mind it to be a part of Project Dreamers.
