Want more Chrono Trigger? Buy more!

Our response? Of course, Chrono Trigger.

"Why does everyone ask about Chrono Trigger?" he laughed. We told him it's a very loved series. "That's not what the sales tell me!" he responded.

"If people want a sequel, they should buy more!"

We'll be posting the Front Mission interview in full shortly, so stay tuned.
I guess Chrono Trigger bombed on SNES, PSX, and DS. [/rolling eyes]

What.

Are you freaking kidding me?!

Thank Christ.

The more these stupid fucks keep their hands off of it the better for everyone.

EDIT: SQUARE DEVELOPING A 3D CHRONO TRIGGER:

"His sword is so normal-sized! Let's make it bigger! No, bigger!!! No it's still only twice as tall as any actual character including boss sprites, I said BIGGER!!!"

"What you mean he's just a kid with a mom who goes off adventuring?!?!?! No! We must give him a TRAGIC PAST! He was (spins wheel) sexually molested!!!"

"Let's make Marle blonde!!! What she's already blonde? Okay, Lucca's blonde, and Marle is now Marlith!!!"

The only way I even slightly want this to happen is the day after the Enix half of the company hoists the black flag, raids the Square offices and begins to slit throats.

The real reason Chrono 3 is not in the works is because the Chrono team is busy with FFXIV. You don't have anything to worry about, Fifth.

Fifthfiend 06-06-2009 11:29 PM
Whichever.

I prefer it to not be getting made because Square's management is retarded, because that confirms why it shouldn't be made, but your way works to.

God bless you stupid number-illiterate executives.

I'm sending each and every one of you a birthday card.

God Cloud had a big sword he was a super soldier get over yourself.

Everybody march to their local game store and buy 5 copies of CTDS. Each. Also, only 600,000 copies? That's not that much. To risk putting up for a huge Chrono 3 release they'd probably need to see sales in the millions.

How about no until Square Enix gets rid of the goddamn Square tax. I'm not paying 40 USD for a port of a fourteen-year old game I've already purchased twice.

It's 600k copies of a 40 USD port of a fourteen-year old game that had almost no advertising. Square Enix's excuse sucks.

"Hey look I'm the hero of three of the last five stupid FFs look at my stupid sword and my stupid whiny backstory about how nobody loved me."

PS FTFY

But like graverobbing and being crazy, I guess he was super at those.
