"Cross? I'm furious!"

Some of you may have been lucky enough to play a game on the SNES that was never released in this country called Chrono Trigger. It was developed by Squaresoft, and despite all of the attention that the Final Fantasy series gets, is considered to be the best console RPG of all time.

The game has just been released on the Playstation in the USA, along with Final Fantasy 4, and I'd recommend picking up a copy. You'll have to import it though, it'll never get a launch here.

Anyway, Chrono Trigger had a sequel, Chrono Cross. This too has recently been released in the USA, and will never make it over here, but again itis considered to be one of the greatest RPG's available on the Playstation.

I shall be encouraging my brother to get a copy of this, because the first game was so awesome, though the original characters are not in the sequel if it has anything of the spirit of the original it will be astounding.

What annoys be is the way that Nintendo let go of Square so easily. They had a good relationship during the SNES days, working together on the Super Mario RPG, Legend of the Seven Stars (again, not released here!). Square found that the N64 cartridge format was too restrictive for their needs, and decided to develop for the Playstation instead. As a result the N64 had very few decent RPG's. None in fact, if you don't count Zelda.

Anyway, the point of this thread is that Square's Chrono team are working on the next in the series, and are currently undecided about which platform it should appear on. After the revelation that FFXI may appear on the GAMECUBE after it's PS2 launch, it's quite possible that Chrono could come home to Nintendo.

I believe that Nintendo should do everything in their power to make this game available for the GAMECUBE, they should build bridges with Square now, forget the problems with the N64 and get on with things, bringing quality RPG's back to Nintendo. Nintendo have to stop being so proud and pig-headed, and ask Square to come back, afterall they actually want to release their games on all platforms now!

I doubt it.

I shudder to think what's beyond that door as well!

**T_W + TBN make a slow exit while Meka reminices about a game they haven't heard of**

I dont have a clue. BUt it sounds good. Be wicked if it came to the GBA.

I have never heard of this game. What's it about?

Chrono Trigger what the hell is that?....only joking I love the game, although I have only been able to get it on an emulator so far. I managed to get to the part when you fight Magus you know when he can make himself vulnerable to only certain types of magic. I know this is not very far but I keep having my emulators deleted by my brother.

Anyway I will be able to get my hands on the game very soon for the Playstation if my friend goes along and gets FF chronicles from our Playtron shop (our importer). He recently bought FF Anthology although I think that he shouldn't have. Why? Because he had the chance to buy Chrono Cross instead. What an idiot.

:)

There was one called the legend of ...mana I think. ANyway that was a good RPg.

haven't played that one but anyone who wants to just go to this site.

Nintendo could sell more Consoles with Squares help, however perhaps Nintendo want to make more money from Zelda sales.

Only RPG on GameCube worth buying = Zelda = More Money for Nintendo?

Im sure Nintendos moves are calculated.

But Chrono Trigger....that game was so damn good!

Nintendo don't need Square, but if Square were making games for Nintendo they'd sell more consoles on the back of it. Especially in Japan.

All the best game developers/programmers never stay with their companies. Many of the people responsable or FinalFantasy7 have probably started up their own companys now, look at TimeSplitters a company made from programmers who split from Rare.

Nintendo dont need Square, they just need to buy up their programmers....hurah!

Bouncer... even.
