My first dissapointment with Square

[Tidus Andronicus]

I still don't think Square would lose any money... CTR was only a 10 scene version of it... anyone that would play it, would have either already played it... or is playing cause they heard it was neat... and if they like it, it would only spark interest in playing the original.
Square isn't even really selling/producing anymore copies of it anyway... although there are rumors of them making a port to the GBA... I still don't believe anyone interested in Chrono Trigger is gonna play just a 10 scene demo, and not the original... anyone new to the game is gonna wanna see more than just those 10 scenes, and so they'll play the original.

As for my original post... whatever happend, its ok... I just felt a little pissy the otherday xD... I just felt sarcastic.
"whatever..."

[TheAbominatrix]

Yes, Square is still producing and selling copies of CT, as FF Chronologies or whatever it is.

The rest of it... eh, I dont care.

[Tidus Andronicus]

could have swore they stoped FFC a year or 2 ago... its impossible to buy new anymore... have to get it used... and even then its hard to find...>_> at least the ps1 version is... they arn't selling a GBA one yet, are they?

[TheAbominatrix]

No, they didnt stop. Maybe lowered production a bit, but didnt stop. It's not hard to find really, I've seen it at my local WalMart many times, even lately. I'm pretty sure it's a Greatest Hits, so they keep it.

No, they havent released it for GBA. I dont know if they will.

The people making the fan work should have realised Square-Enix had the power to do this, in the first place. They should have consulted them before hand.

Square-Enix isn't in the wrong here, I can assure you, but sure it sucks because it would have been cool to see.

If you stop buying Square-Enix games just because of this, you are a very bleak person. Maybe you should go read up on things called royalties and even legal issues regarding such works.

When did I ever say that?

I think that was aimed at Tidus Andronicus.

Tidus: Your post may have been lost in the server switch because I don't see a record of it being deleted. Sorry for the inconvience.

Dark_Paladin: No need for you to take up the cause. The mods and admins can handle it. Also try and be a little more considerate when speaking towards others.

The remake on that site looked interesting, but it's Square's game and they can do what they want with it. I'm satisfied with the amount of enjoyment I got out of the original and PS version.

Sorry, just the way I am. However, I'll try and keep this bit of my personality out of the forums. It's not like it's the first time an admin in a forums has told me that.

[Del Murder]

Thanks, we appreciate it. I understand all to well that we are who we are.

chaos: Well, if certain people who had never played Chrono trigger before decided to check out the demo that these guys made and liked it... wouldn't they then buy it, making Square's business grow?

Rubedo: In any case, if they worked that hard on it, I think Square should've allowed it. Yet again, as Mr. Delete said, it's their game, and they can do whatever they want with it.

[cypherpunks]

Of course this was as stupid as it was expected. Most likely the issue never even got elevated high enough in the hierarchy for any other (any good) solution to have been possible. Still, it would have been very possible for them to allow this creative, useful (even for them economically) project to continue.

(Oh and btw, they have no obligation to go after copyright infringements, while they do for trademark. However, they could have easily granted a specialpurpose limited license.)

>>> This sucks, I was looking forward to play that demo
Im dissapointed with Square Enix too, their only goal is to make money, I equate them on the same level of Microsoft..

man this sucks, i would've loved to have it...looked great

[Makoto-Tribal]

Well the first time I heard of this project was when I read this thread, but now I'm sat here looking at the screenshots and I have to admit I'm very disapointed this could not be a reality. I cant even begin to imagine how people following its progress must have felt =/

I can see why SE had to do what they did, it was an infrigment of copyright and all that lovely legal stuff that we all love to hate. But then again how many people DL CC for free as a rom everyday anyway? Its kind of a lost cause by now isnt it.

I guess what really pisses me off how SE refuse to do anything with there older games, despite the obvious demand for 3D versions of FF 4-6 or a remake of FF7 (something they planned and then cowardly converted into a movie intstead) yet they get all hot under the coller about something like this. Like I said I can see why they did what they did, but the irony burns.
