Should the Next Chrono Trigger be a Strategy game?

[Kumo]

Would something like this work? I really did like both games, even though the second one did have quite a few characters I didn't care for. Sure, it would be REALLY sweet if we had FFX style graphics or BETTER for the next Chrono game, but I also think it would be a great idea to have a Tactics game like what FF Tactics was.

Perhaps at this point in time (during the PS3 generation), Strategy genre games won't be seen as much, due to their somewhat outdated graphics. But it would definitely be nice to see something like this on the PSP, especially since that genre isn't well respresented on that system.

Hope you don't mind my rant.

I like strategy games...however, I don't think Chrono whatever, should be a strategy game. It just wouldn't feel right. Anywho when you say "next Chrono game", do you know something about a sequel I don't?

[Mirage]

Yes, it's called Chrono Break and it's gonna be released next year!

[Kumo]

I thought that was still just a rumor. But lets just hope it's been kept under wraps. PS2 format, right?

[Mirage]

Yes indeed. And they've registered trademarks for a Chrono Blade too, for the PS3.

[Wuggly Blight]

They registired the names but annoced they had scrapped any plans for development of them along time ago. A 3D Zeal will have to wait a few more years.

[Skarr]

That's what I thought.

I wouldn't want an S-RPG, but I'd take it if that's what they offered. I'd take any Chrono because I'm just a newb like that.

Although if they made another one I'd just have to wade through many "Milking the franchise" threads Ah, sequels...What we all beg for and then don't want.

[Kumo]

Now I pose you THIS question.


HOW cool would an online Chrono Trigger be? Thousands of characters zipping through past, present, and future, defeating Lavos Spawn and such . . . collecting pendants and Dreamstone to forge items ... now I would LOVE to play something like that.

Deviating from the original genre should be reserved for spin-off games. Let's worry about getting an actual sequel first.

[edczxcvbnm]

Strategy? No...just no. I agree with Kawaii on this one.

If only there would be another Chrono game ;_;

No, I mean like two weeks ago.

[Rogue]

Yes, it's called Chrono Break and it's gonna be released next year!

Yes indeed. And they've registered trademarks for a Chrono Blade too, for the PS3.

After finishing Cross, Masato Kato and crew wanted to make a new Chrono game. Sakaguchi was sort of behind it and they discussed plot details in 2001. Trademarks were registered but the project was never given the green light. Then, several employees jumped ship to Monolith Soft and the trademarks continue to rot to this day. That's the sad story.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

The good news is that Kato has since returned to Square. And Yasunori Mitsuda has often voiced his eagerness to compose for another Chrono game.
