Jordan of Trendy Gamers: Moving on to part three of my five part series on how Square Enix can win its fans back we come to the beloved yet small Chrono franchise. This franchise is one of the most beloved in all of gaming culture and Chrono Trigger in particular is often ranked among the greatest games of all time. Why has Square Enix left a franchise like this to the rot away when fans so clearly want more of these games? Here are my ideas on what Square Enix needs to do with the Chrono series to get its fans back.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
It would be great if Square Enix did finally make another Chrono game!
Didn't we just have an article like this a while back?
I suppose if ff13-2 is good that'll be a start. And if versus is actually worth the wait when it releases that'll definitely be a solid win for Square. I actually see that game achieving FF7 status as a classic.
I'm not sure if chrono will give them their fans back. As the article states, not many square fans even bought the chrono games. But then again if they released another one and it's good and people actually buy it that could be a win for them so who knows.
I want parody poster that says
" I want to believe... "
with a big Square-enix logo!
They should reuse the battle system from Chrono Cross. It wasn't just spam the attack button like every other turn based game. It took a little bit of thinking and was very fun.
That being said, if they make a sequel to Chrono Cross, I'd shit my pants
EDIT: I liked them both, but I liked all the side missions in Chrono Cross (like finding the ultimate attacks for all the characters) and DAT MUSIC :O

If they made a new chrono Trigger/cross games, & even if it was a Wii exclusive (which it wouldnt be i know) but if it was that would be enough of a reason to make me go buy a wii, thats how badly i would want to play this! While your at it bring me a new Earthbound/mother (i realise thats not squar, but while we are talkinga about it)& i dont count the ds erathbound game!
