Games dont tend to retcon their own sequels very much. I DONT like CC very much so it would be great for me if a potential sequel ignored it all together and just did something else.
Just like with FF VII we now have a generation of developers who grew up with CT so a revival of some sort is not out of the question but it will probably never get the royal treatment that CT did
As big a fan as I am, I would actually prefer is Square resumed the "Dream Project" mantra and sought to make a truly collaborative JRPG with their strongest competition, the Persona team. Now THAT would be something.
That trailer is unbelievably good. Yes, please.
Ishida, also worth tagging you in here. Ignoring Cross is crazy talk.
Jesus Christ, I leave for a few hours and this blasphemy of a thread happens?!
Why would they ignore one of the best games of all time?
Besides, you can easily identify the haters that never actually played the game in this threads. There is no need to retcon Chrono Cross out of existence. The game itself already does that for you. Once the objective of Project Kid is achieved and Schala is saved, time is rewound and the ideal timeline from Chrono Trigger is restored, undoing most if not all the events of Cross.
That's the entire point of the plan, to rescue Schala while leaving the future created in Chrono Trigger intact.
Some of you have the most monstrous ideas. Let's also remove Majora's Mask and Twilight Princess out of the Zelda timeline if we are doing crazy shit.
please note that the aggressiveness is just part of the show, but my message stays the same :v
Been wishing for a new Chrono since forever but fair enough, you nailed it.I don't think Chrono Trigger needs a sequel and the creative talent that could make it has all left Square. What would be the point?
and we'd recognize it as a pretty good, visually stunning JRPG.
I got no horse in this race but in my years of exposure to pop culture if Chrono Cross is ever brought up it's usually not fondly.But that's what the vast majority considers the game to be already...

Do they? Do they really?
Because I rarely see Cross mentioned as anything other than a blemish on Trigger. More to the point, it deserves that reputation because it went out of its way to be Chrono Trigger 2 with its main plot.
The game should have excised all the mumbo jumbo with Belthasar and Schala and ended at the Dragon God.
Considering all of Cross took place on a tiny archipelago off the mainland, it could be "semi-ignored" with references peppered here and there, which is honestly what I'd expect.
What Cross really did to drop breadcrumbs for a sequel is in its references to The Fall of Guardia, Porre becoming an industrialized military nation, andChrono Trigger 2 could explore all of this in detail and I don't think anyone would complain.Crono apparently being dead, maybe - at least involved with the Guardia situation.

Hot take - Yoko Taro could make one hell of an interesting Chrono 3. It would play to his strengths much more than putting him on a Final Fantasy game would.
Yeah considering Trigger felt like a full game, Cross was a good follow up. It kept the spirit of the game while doing its own thing.Chrono Cross is a goddamned JRPG treasure and is a great sequel to Trigger without redoing the same things.
