Chrono Confusion: Why Have Sony and Square Failed to Produce a Worthy Sequel to the Popular Series?

Considering the enormous success of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, why have Square and Sony elected to keep the franchise silent?

Because the team that did the Chrono games isn't together anymore? Also, the same reason Square has been reluctant to remake FF VII... The fact that they're scared of messing it up, so they don't even bother trying. Imagine the amount of hate they would get if they screwed something like a Chrono game up, or an FFVII remake.

I doubt Square Enix is afraid of messing up a FF VII remake. All they would have to do is get the right team to do it. Just give it to the devs that worked on Crisis Core.

travis405084159d ago

Yeah, if you don't make a sequel for a highly anticipated game, I'm not entirely sure what you make a sequel for.

Fishermenofwar4159d ago

Exactly!!!

Loved me some Crisis!!!

Would be a perfect combination

Chrono was a team consisting of mixed Square & Enix dev's that formed together to make this game.

After that they continued on with their lives.

Shows what true talent and good leadership can accomplish though when everyone is on the same page.

XSpike4159d ago

Cause they hate giving fans what they want, they'd make to much money! Its the only explanation.

KonsoruMasuta4159d ago

I haven't heard that many people asking for a continuation of the Chrono games. These games are like forgotten gems.

zeroskie4159d ago

But why do they keep re-releasing Chrono Trigger then? I think they're aware of the games' popularity.

majiebeast4159d ago

Because Square Enix is incompetent.

They dont like money why else would they not put BBS and Crisis core on the Vita store.

Fishermenofwar4159d ago

Unfortunately you are 100% correct...

ifrit_caress4159d ago

I never liked Chrono Cross, I would like to try out Chrono Trigger eventually.

Blank4159d ago

Umm just play chrono trigger for the DS dont worry I wasnt one of the people that pushed disagree just play it! Even if its not the DS version I wont say OTHER methods but just get a legit copy you will treasure that cartridge or disk.

LordMaim4159d ago

Hey, I'm right there with you. I couldn't even tell you what the plot of Cross was, but I can recall the entire plot of Chrono Trigger beat by beat. It was a much better game. The sequel was disappointing.

ifrit_caress4158d ago

@Lord Maim: I played Chrono Cross, and about 15 hours into the game, I got bored and never played it again. If there comes an HD remake of the game, then I might give it another try. But Chrono Cross was not worth my time.

Agent_hitman4159d ago

I just really hope the SE would remake Chrono Cross. But of course I doubt it would happen since SE don't listen to their fanbase

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl348551d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9252d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil51d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb51d ago (Edited 51d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

I want a full on 3d remake but I suppose HD2D is fine.

Snookies1259d ago

So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.

darthv7259d ago

I'd imagine it would be something like... chrono cross

goken59d ago

I am hoping a modern AAA return…

Chard58d ago (Edited 58d ago )

I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked

Knightofelemia58d ago

I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.

jznrpg57d ago

Yes to Xenogears and Xenosaga!

jznrpg58d ago

I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
