How dead is the Chrono series?

Must have missed that. They played something Chrono related during their E3 event?
Chrono's back, baby!
Sorry. My son was talking about the Chrono series and I searched GAF for a thread and saw this which I found amusing.
Oh shit... didn't even realize I posted in this thread! Lmao. Nice necro bump

Fall of Guardia primarily.

This bump is hilarious, but the other one being 10 years in the making with the same poster is just absolutely amazing. Besides there's tons of threads in GAF that you could "Make people eat crow" on for the dream games.
On topic: The Chrono series is deader than Skies of Arcadia.
Now we play the waiting game.
Cross only took place in El Nido, we have no real idea what happened to the rest of the world after Trigger.

Their "hype video" for E3 (it's on their Youtube Channel) had a remix of Frog's theme playing in the background.
That's not a teaser however, because whenever SE makes a video like that they put that remix in (they did it previous years too).
They used the Frog's theme remix from LoveSQ in their E3 hype/teaser video, which had lots of teases. But they use it a lot.
...still a great mix though.
edit: beat.
A new Chrono game for consoles would do pretty well IMO. Would at least garner a lot of hype. It doesn't have to be big budget (hell Nier 2 is in development), but with SE putting out all these games on consoles now, I don't see the harm in trying to create a new Chrono game too. That's only if they have a good concept and someone wants to make it.
I would enjoy this, if only so salty Trigger fans had to play 2 games that were about Guardia getting owned.

Chrono isnt dead, Chrono Trigger is always mentionned in best games of all time lists, no way that Square let it die, they are probably waiting for this generation, so they can make the most beautiful artstyle for Chrono 3 while Mitsuda is making in secret 82 tracks for Chrono 3 with the arstyle of the Chrono Cross guy
Haha... and about there being tons of potential crow-eatin' threads, I'm sure that's true -- I just happened upon this one and couldn't resist. : )
Get a load of this guy's optimism!
Optimism, you say?

It's not dead, but you can't go home again. Give the next one to Level 5 and hope for the best.

Every E3 I hold out hope for Chrono Break. Nintendo gave me one of those feels with Xenoblade, but I'm still waiting on Square to deliver. I do
agree with the skepticism that the modern Square-Enix couldn't deliver a game worthy of the franchise. Square can't even properly build a working engine these days.
Likewise, I would love for Sony to jump in and revisit Legend of Dragoon, but that also won't happen.
I mean, even if you got the whole Chrono team back together, how much money would developing a game so massive cost these days?

following the footsteps of breath of fire and mana, what if they mate CT3 a mobile game?

At the end of Cross
they showed Schala/Kid searching for someone. I always assumed it was Magus but I have heard compelling arguments for it being Chrono.

Masato Kato already explained the ending in an interview. Basically,
the character you see is the Schala of the real world, not the Schala of the game. The message of the ending is that there is a Serge and a Schala in every dimension, and in the real world YOU are Serge and there is a Schala out there searching for you.
They actually wanted to show the fate of EVERY character in the ending, Suikoden-style, but they ran out of time/budget so that's the ending we got instead.

Ouch...that hurt...😭😭😭
Wow didn't know that..that's an interesting take to say the least.
I hate how they dropped Magus' storyline. I played the entire game thinking guile was him!
