The scenario guy who happens to be the most important is in Monolith Soft!
I think most of the old team worked on Baten Kaitos. FFXI team is like the CT battle team or something + Quest.
DarknessTear said:
Masato Kato is hardly the most important person in the Chrono games. And anyway, he's not at Monolith Soft -- he's a freelancer who also is working on the Square Enix Mana games now.
And, er, who else worked on Baten Kaitos and Chrono? Different artists, different programmers, different producers, different directors.
TheJollyCorner said:give it up, bucko. Not happenin'... just like ArtDink will never make Tail of the Sun 2. Time to move on.
You push down the braille at libraries for the blind don't you?
P.S. Artdink came out with a new Carnage Heart for PSP so the rumor (which I'm starting now) that they are working on a PS3 version of Tail of the Sun might well be true.

I guess I'll just replay Chrono Trigger on the SNES. Man, I dont even remember where my SNES is. :-(

Well as far as CC goes, the artist is the same. :T Man, Square has split every which way. Some of their staff is like everywhere now. Also I had no idea Masato Kato was freelance. Mitsuda is freelance as well but supposedly he doesn't like making music for games anymore according to a bunch of people on a VGM forum. I haven't seen it in interview form myself.
Aruze and Monolith Soft off the top of my head are filled with ex Square employees.

If Square releases it for VC at launch, then i'll buy it. I wish we could get a list of games soon.

Doesn't Skip also have ex-square?

Environment art! Oh hell I dunno. I just recall it in a review of BK somewhere. I guess this is Masato Kato's influence and not so much the artist's then?

ethelred said:Yeah, Honne did the overworld maps in Baten Kaitos, but that's it.
Pretty tenuous connection there.
CC and BK's style was veeeeeeeeeeeery similar though. VERY similar. Like.. in most ways.
BK was prettier though. Hello town made of sweets.
TheJollyCorner said:just be thankful you got a classic w/ Trigger and a decent follow-up with Cross.
Besides, the best part of what made Chrono Trigger special (the 'Dream Team' of Sakaguchi, Hori, Kitase, Toriyama, Uematsu, and Mitsuda) will probably never happen again... although you never know.
If Hori just did another Chrono game with Toriyama character art, I would be happy.
I have had this dream scenario in my head of a second Chrono Trigger, but in a world all it's own with no connection to the past Chrono games.

Nothing big, its just a brief synopsis.
Originally released for the SuperFamiCom in 1994.
The game focuses on the main protagonists, abolishing the focus on the 'crystal' motif established earlier in the series. Many players were surprised by the game's themes (catastrophes and the use of a machine civilization). The game features new summons, abilities and the use of the magicite (demon) system.
With a 100% transition completed, 「Final Fantasy VI」 is finally ready for a 21st century revival.

CT was a one-off project. It was meant to be a collaboration between the 2 RPG giants of the day. The sequel was more of a cash in based on an existing text adventure Square released for the SFC sattleview system called Radical Dreamers. Many of Crono Cross's original sounds had their genesis in Radical Dreamers and were not original to Crono Cross. CT /Crono franchise is dead until of course Horii, Sakaguchi or S-E decides to revive it again.

Actually, in this case, DarknessTear is right. Honne is the art director for the Chrono games, and he's the co-director of BK and the director of BK2. He might have only personally drawn the overworld maps, but the art direction and overall visual look of the BK games are supervised by him, being the director and all. Major connection.

That's really not how the law works, although I guess morally you're in the clear. Basically all but the most liberal interpretations of fair use say that any and all backup or alternate-medium copies must come from your original. (Otherwise, for example, you'd be legally in the clear to download the PSX CT ISO if you owned the SNES CT cart)

I just wish their was a way SE could make FFV/FFVI detect if it's being played in a DS instead of the GBA. I hate playing GBA games on my lite and I really don't want to hear downgraded versions/remixes of the original music.

Square-Enix's support of the DS is fantastic, with eight games in the DS lifespan already (including Mario Basketball), with surely more games to come. To put it into prespective the GBA only got nine (including ports) Square-Enix games in it's entire lifespan.
