So people fearing the worst for their beloved sequel can breathe a little easier. After all, with the two people responsible for the overall feel of Chrono Trigger off on another project, what-pray tell-is left besides a loose association in name only? Well, for starters, the rest of the original Chrono Trigger team is still intact, meaning the programmers, game artists and composers remain the same. So where does this leave Chrono Cross? It wouldn't be a stretch to say that fans of the original may find this incredibly disappointing. These two creative forces are instead working on Enix's upcoming RPG masterpiece, Dragon Quest VII. The second not-so-obvious thing is that Yuji Horii (scenario scripter for Chrono Trigger, also from the Dragon Quest team) is also not involved. The first thing you'll notice about the game is that Akira Toriyama (Chrono Trigger's character designer, also known for his work on Dragon Ball Z and the Dragon Quest series) is not involved with the project.
Square's most anticipated sequel in years had finally become a reality. Much to everyone's surprise, the rumors turned out to be true, and just days before the release of LoM, Square announced Chrono Cross. Recently, rumor spread on the Net of a new sequel to Chrono Trigger that was in development at Square, to be unveiled as a playable demo when Legend of Mana was released in July. It's also one of the most important RPGs ever made, as it brought together the creators of the two most popular and successful RPG franchises of all time (Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest) to form a "dream team" of sorts, that was in fact called "Dream Project."įor years now, gamers have been clamoring for a sequel. Arguably one of the 16-Bit era's crowning moments, Chrono Trigger will forever have a place in gaming history as one of the most critically acclaimed, commercially successful RPGs ever made. For all of Final Fantasy's peerless reputation, however, there is one game deep in the heart of Square's hallowed library that transcends even that mighty series.
Eight chapters old, with numerous spin-offs to boot, Final Fantasy is the reigning champion of the role-playing genre. The two are as inseparable as Siamese twins. When you hear the words Final Fantasy, you immediately think of the name Square as well.
