No Chrono Trigger 2

[Freya]

Not Chrono Cross. Sakaguchi did a PAX panel.

Let' be sad together.

Square Enix doesn't like money. They also don't like to make good games lol

[Freya]

That's probably why Sakaguchi actually left. "guys, guys. Chrono trigger 2. What do you think" "Nope." "smurf it I'm out of here."

[Vyk]

Yeah, I don't even like Chrono Trigger and I'd have to throw up my hands at that one. It's arguably more popular than any of their Final Fantasies. Like srsly wtf. Maybe Wolf or Sephiroth or someone will come in here and explain that Chrono Trigger was a huge disappointment in Japan and only popular in the West or something

[VeloZer0]

That blows. Seeing as this was back in the day they probably would have actually done a good job.

[Wolf Kanno]

This surprises and disappoints me a bit. Chrono Trigger was pretty successful on both sides of the Pacific for its time. Wonder if presented it to them while he still worked for SE though?

[Sephiroth]

Let's see what the future brings.

[Mirage]

even if I don't really have any hope for seeing CT2, I think now would be the perfect time to suggest it for SE.

[Sephiroth]

Akira Toriyama is pretty active with Dragon Ball nowadays so this would be a time with good motivation, yes, but he probably is also too busy with it.

[Freya]

Yah, if you watch the panel he said it was gears ago when he was still with them.

How is he still busy with Dragonball?

How is he still busy with Dragonball?

He rewrote the 2013 movie Battle of Gods, helpsmaking a New one, has written a prequel created Goku's mother and other Details about 17 and 18, Boo, Freezer and such.

Was he actually that actively involved in the creation of the first one anyway? It'd probably take him all of a day to sketch up a handful of concept art for the protagonists and a main villain or two that the game's art team can then draw from, no problem

[Forsaken Lover]

They'd have to hire Masato Kato back but I guess they already do that sort of since he has worked on a lot of the Mana games and Square makes those I do believe.

You'd also need Mitsuda. What was the last thing he composed for Square?

CT was a "dream team" effort which is why a lot of people feel Cross fell short.

EDIT:

I can't remember where I saw it but I did see a comment from Mitsuda translated into English that was him basically saying if they make another Chrono game they better get Kato back. The two of them seem like very good friends.

Artist is artist, no matter what or how many of it he did. Of course many can do that such as Toei did the Dragon Ball anime but it is still his very own original style so they would most likely try to get him back in that case.
