Remember a long time ago there was a big buzz because Square copyrighted something called "Chrono Break" (I think)? Did that ever manifest itself into a game and did Square ever mention anything official about it?

 

[Zilch]

Nothing ever came of it, unforunately. I'd love to see a third Chrono game someday, but I don't think it'll happen soon.

 

[radios shipping overview]

Yeah, the trademark was abandoned.

 

[Rahul]

Trademark was abandoned in Japan, the US one stands (though for what purpose...).

It's assumed that there was a title in development which was canned as the scenario writer for Chrono Cross, Masato Kato, left Square to be a freelancer. Then he created Baten Kaitos for Monolithsoft, which will be out in December.

Chrono Cross was my favorite game for PS1. I don't know if I really want a sequel for it. I havn't been impressed with any SquareSoft game since FFX.

 

[WarPig]

Hironobu Sakaguchi also claimed at one point that another Chrono game was in the works -- this was at some kind of promotional event put on just before Spirits Within came out. I have it on pretty good authority it was either not true at that point, or caused to be not true shortly afterward as a consequence of the movie's failure, one of the two.

DFS.

That's a shame.

 

[neptunes]

what production team would be able to work on it anyway?

 

[Idiot Member]

Production Team 3 would be making it, but they are too busy with Final Fantasy XI.

Production Team 1 the only other viable option in my opinion is also busy with FFVII compilation, and Kingdom Hearts 2.

That's what I meant.
Square as a whole has too much on their plate right now.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

It would be neat if they'd bring Yuji Horii and Toriyama to take part in the development of the next Chrono, before it's too late.

 

[Lemurnator]

Square Soft is great at getting it's fans hopes up and crushing them in one fell swoop every E3 and TGS.

If you like squaresoft you like S&M.

quite. they should use the DQVIII engine, and get level 5 to code it up.

 

[LinesInTheSand]

Square decided that it's fans would like another game too much and decided to can it.
