I liked Cross. But I hated the fact that Inception made more sense than the 2nd half of that game. Plus it looks like he's talking about a remake like 7 is getting or a film first.Samtemdo8 said:No Chrono Trigger is already good on its own.
And you already messed up the lore with Chrono Cross.
Crimson Echoes got shut down: http://chrono.wikia.com/wiki/Crimson_Echoes:GameDalisclock said:Wasn't there a fan version/sequel a couple years back? Flames of Eternity/Crimson Echos? I never played either so I don't know if they came close to scratching that particular Itch that Cross tried(and failed pretty badly at).
But sadly, Cross was half a good game and half a pretentious bloated mess.
I'm very excited for that game, it looks really promising. I've been looking for a new RPG to play for ages. The music is beautiful and the art looks great.AccursedTheory said:Supposedly, 'I am Setsuna' is the 'new' Chrono Trigger, both visually, thematically (Maybe not time travel, but the other stuff), and gameplay wise. I've got it on the Steam Wish List, at may buy it on day two if the reviews go well. (The Japanese reviews were good, I believe)

There was a sequel, it was called Chrono Cross. While not sure great as Chrono Trigger, it had some great ideas (like it covered parallel world's instead of time travel) but the 2nd half is just... bad. Really bad. It was obvious they were running out of time to make it. If they stopped focusing on trying to copy Suidoken I guarantee it would've been better.Digi7 said:I'm very excited for that game, it looks really promising.

I played Chrono Trigger for the first time recently and was utterly blown away. Such an incredible game. I had mostly ignored RPGs for the most part up until this point but this game made me understand what they can really do. The characters, the world, the story were all incredible. Gameplay was great too, though perhaps lacking in a little depth in some areas. I loved every character on the team and the ways they spoke and interacted were fantastic. Robo's sidequest was my favourite part for the scene by the campfire. And that soundtrack was something very special.
I know they aren't talking about a sequel here but I see a lot of people asking for one. If you ask me the story finished pretty conclusively. A new game would have to be entirely new characters and a new story. A new world even, if they want to keep their timelines consistent. I'd be up for more Chrono Trigger style RPGs any day though. Haven't played Cross yet, though I hear it is good in its own way.
Hopefully a high-end remake would properly capture the aesthetic of the original.
