Uh...what?
I think SOLDIER is referring to the FFVII Remake.
Uh...what?
So they are alive! I think it was a fan theory that they were still alive, but it is nice to have confirmation. Lucca in particular I'm pretty sure was killed by Lynx in Cross. Too bad it will never be...
Nah he was talking about development of chrono cross
The chrono trigger kids are still dead
Oh of course, it just dawned on me they could still be dead in Cross, it's a time traveling game after all!Huh? Nah, he's talking about a hypothetical third Chrono game. The CT trio is essentially dead in Chrono Cross but the idea was that Kid and other characters after the end of Chrono Cross would then go rescue the CT trio, some time, somewhere.
The Fall of Guardia in 1,005 A.D. and Lynx and Harle's raid on Lucca's Orphanage would most likely have been events featured in that third game.
I dream of a 2D HD sprite based Chrono Break game for modern home consoles/PC. It'll never happen though.
My thoughts are I don't want Kato anywhere near a Chrono game ever again.
Round up Sakaguchi, Kitase, Tokita, Horii, Mitsuda & Toriyama and then we're talking.
God bless this man.And I was just inquiring what Kato was doing these days.
Fun Fact: in addition to writing credits for Chrono and Xenogears, Kato is also responsible for much of Tifa's dialog in Final Fantasy VII. Being a late addition to the planned story, Tifa was promoted from a recurring NPC to a major character who would end up being the main heroine of the game, and Kato was the one who worked on her interactions with Cloud and the other characters.
Really hoping he's going to have a role in the Remake, and...Chrono 3, if it ever happens.
lol what if Tokyo RPG Factory makes it?
Mega Man 9, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years, Blaster Master Zero, Sonic Mania, etc.
I honestly don't see why we can't get a Chrono Trigger callback game in the form of Chrono Break. The timing is basically perfect right now.
They could even use dq11 assets, to cut development time i wouldnt even complain.
I know I'm going to get jumped, but if Chrono Break is going to be a an "all-stars" of Trigger and Cross, or even an attempt to reconcile those games, I'm ok with it staying a rumor.
As for Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, I wanted to imagine an episode that would conclude a trilogy and take place shortly after the events of the first game. I thought of the following lead: Kid and the others have to go help Crono, Marle and Lucca, who were then in great dangers. In the end, it was some sort of "all-star"! (Laughs) That said, I have the following principle: the past is the past, and it should be left behind. You have to let go. To lay new foundations
Native Spanish speaker here, the context of the translation was a little bit off.
He is saying that he would have liked to make a third game and that it would have an all star cast but that the chance slipped by and hes the kind of guy that wants to look forward and not dwell on projects that could have been.
That's my impression as well, maybe I didn't word it well enough.
Initially it read to me that it was his CC idea, and that CC was about rescuing Crono but he decided that he preferred His story to be about moving forward, so they stayed dead
I know he was the main scenario writer for Antiquity, the weakest section of the game imo.
I don't know that he wrote any of the other scenarios, let me know if he did.
I wouldn't agree that it's the weakest section, but it is kind of uneven. There are parts of it that are probably my favorite in the game, and there are a few that I could sort of do without.
Same. The Chrono games are like the peak of JRPGs, I can't imagine how beautiful a game Break would be. I'm mad they ever even teased the idea of the game, now we know what we'll never have.I'd sell my soul to the devil and do some dirty thing$$ for this game.
Will Kid/Schala have purple hair? That's the ultimate question.
Huh? The only thing purple about Schala was her dress.
Blue hair, my bad.
Misremembered those sprites. Kid being blond made 0 sense though.
I really hated Cross.
Gameplay was crap. The story was an abomination that killed off the characters from one of my favorite games of all time.
The graphics were good and music was great but not enough to salvage it. It was a really good RPG but a total disappointment to my favorite RPG of all time.
I would rather they leave it dead and start a new epic 2D RPG with gameplay and style similar to the OG ChronoTrigger.
It's good to see the words Chrono Trigger in 2017-
I think Chrono Trigger would sell really well,
if they remake using the FFXV engine.
Turn based or full action I wouldn't care , is just that sense that I want to replay it
but not actually play the same thing , you feel me?

y'know there's a game in the Legend of Heroes series that's kind of like thisI find it funny with Kato's idea for a third Chrono game. I once had an idea I wrote down after I played the first Chrono game, and it was basically about the cast of CT disappearing from the world because "man wasn't meant to commit crimes against time" and they were "collected" by Zeitgeist, a collector of displaced objects in time and timelines and a sorta "watcher of timestreams". It has a floating mansion outside of time/space where the characters are trapped within (Dalton was also there), with many floors and doors that open to specific discarded eras that are in Zeitgeist's collection. There is also a NEW threat that Zeitgeist sealed away in the depths of his mansion's basement vault that is trying to find a way out and back into the timestream (which Chrono and co are also trying to do, but are unaware of this dark force following them). The beginning of my story was that all the heroes wake up in a room together... lol!

Sure!
IIRC, they later retconned it in the PSX Trigger, saying that all the royal family in Zeal dyes their hair the blue color and Schala is naturally blonde.
Yep, schala in Chrono CrossIIRC, they later retconned it in the PSX Trigger, saying that all the royal family in Zeal dyes their hair the blue color and Schala is naturally blonde.

You do know Kato was involved with the first game and was responsible for the most popular parts of it both storywise and battle-systemwise, right?
Sort of. He was heavily directed by Horii and to a lesser extent by Sakaguchi, who both clearly contained some of his excesses that would become very evident in Chrono Cross and Xenogears, e.g. expositional walls of text and humorless psychobabble.I think he's laughing at the fact that Kato basically IS Chrono as far as scenario goes. He didn't just do a section. He did most of it, and then rounded out a trilogy. Chrono is Kato's child more than any one else's.

The critique of 12,000 BC, which Kato had the freest hand in writing, is a fair one. While, like all Kato's work, it's interesting and complicated, it could also easily be excised from the game and have little to no impact on the overall story flow and feel of the game. Its atmosphere is certainly an outlier in the game. I still enjoy the sequence, even if it offers an uncomfortable sign of the joyless, dismal direction to follow in subsequent games when he longer had the Dream Team as his minders.
I am unaware of any work by Kato on the battle sytem for Chrono Trigger.
I think SE should contract Mitsuda to make a new Chrono OST... except there's no actual game, and they just release the soundtrack instead.
yup, checking the translation there are some differences, but they are minimal.
For example, this part: "when I reached the last step of the plot, I started feeling some doubt: was the epilogue I was unfolding the right one?"
could be more accurately translated as: "and when I was at the last stage, the doubt came about how to finish the story"
but then again, its not that much and doesn't change the idea of chrono break
No one has ever been able to produce the screenshot that says this.
Just give me a The Adventures of Frog spinoff.

Who else is more involved in the series than Kato? He wrote most of Trigger (even if directors directed and kept him in check), Radical Dreamers, then wrote/directed Cross. Then he directed the ports. There's no one else who is near as heavily involved. It's more his thing than any one other person's. That said, he should have someone like Horii keeping him in check.
When was the last time there was a crossover or spin-off that had Aerith but not Tifa? Meanwhile, games like Dissidia and World of Final Fantasy has Tifa as an FFVII rep but doesn't feature Aerith at all.
It's been obvious for a while now who FFVII's leading lady is.
The story of Cross is such a mess, and the original crew are killed off in the most nonsensical way possible.

Eh, one of the reasons I like Cross so much is how poignant the main story is, especially in regards to the Trigger cast. I don't really want to save Lucca if it means erasing the Kid/Serge orphanage scene.
If we're saving anyone, it should be
