    Yeah, it seemed to be that way because some of the developers needed to leave in order to work on other projects such as Final Fantasy 11 or just outright left their company in favor of freelance work.

    Chrono Trigger was lightning in a bottle, as far as the development team was concerned. They did this team-up specifically because they knew it was once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This type of passion project should be officially handed to the fans. The fans have more love for Chrono than the company, and therefore have better inspiration. They are the ones who keep it alive, while the company is choking it to oblivion because it can't make a ridiculous margin of profit with it.

    It's interesting that you bring it up. I really think that now with the innovation of the HD-2D style by Square Enix, combined with having an amazing jrpg game seller in the Nintendo Switch, there is finally that scope again to reintroduce this series. Going by how Square Enix is going all in on said HD-2D style with Triangle Strategy and now their first remake in said style with Dragon Quest 3, I'd say the chances are definitely more now than 0. I sure hope they surprise us and decide to bring it back. I love this game series so much! Great video dude!

    Considering that Chrono Trigger was the result of a dream team of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest creatives working together, you would think that the merger of Square and Enix would have made developing sequels easier. I guess that the problem that they'll never be able to clear their schedules together for one (if that's even something they're interested in doing).

Beyond this, the intro, sequence of information delivery, and what you chose to display visually during the video were all top-notch.

    I can't see this as unsafe...Crystal Chronicles isn't as beloved...they remade it and it DID outdo what they thought it would...and it too is really old. I never even played this game and I know how big of a deal even a remake would be, the issue is more the work required to do it if anything. There's so much dialogue and music...just so much work, granted FF7R being a thing proves they'll do it if we really want it...though if I'm honest they were extremely lazy with what they decided to do with that "remake" and to call it a remake is not really fair since it's more of a reboot than anything. But yes, the whole "it's not safe to rerelease/remake Chrono" holds zero salt.

Only once in a while there is a solid original IP. Leave everything in the past where it belongs. The 90's were the golden age of video games and we will never again see that kind passion from developers. It's ok too. There are so many titles from that decade that you can keep playing over and over again to your hearts content.

    In August 2014, at a PAX Prime panel, Sakaguchi stated that he had intended on continuing the Chrono series into another game, but that problems with Square Enix management prevented it from coming to fruition.[19] I think the statute of limitations has passed and expired so I think I'm okay saying this - but we just didn't see eye-to-eye with management, and so I went and fought for it, and I officially lost the battle ... Nothing's confirmed. But again, it would be nice to be able to work on a continuation of my old creations.[19] - Hironobu Sakaguchi
