How Square Enix Can Win Their Fans Back: Chrono Edition

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.

It would be great if Square Enix did finally make another Chrono game!

Xof4937d ago

I'd love another old-school RPG, period. I played Trigger for the first time a few months ago... it impressed me far more today than ANY other
new" RPG since Persona 4.

TrendyGamers4937d ago

Yeah, they don't make RPG's like they used to.

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.

This is part 3 of a 5 part series so there will be two more shortly!

I want parody poster that says

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

personally i liked chrono trigger better. The battle system too

kma2k4937d ago

Agreed cy_wolf Chrono Trigger is one of the top 5 games of all time, Chrono Cross was a really good game that reminded me of chrono trigger, of course thats just imo

kma2k4937d ago

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!

It would be nice if they had the lottery in other parts of the world as well.

I’m hoping Xbox Showcase will be where the Remake gets announced… freaking all this stuff with FF9’s anniversary and still nothing on the Remake…

If Capcom managed to turn things around, I’m hoping that Square can too!

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

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

Levii_9235d 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_Brazil34d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb34d ago (Edited 34d 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.
