[Suggestion] Dungeon: Chrono Trigger's Magus' Castle

So... my favorite game is Chrono Trigger and was just thinking that it would be absolutely AWESOME if they made Magus' Castle into a dungeon for this game.
Slash and Flea would be the main bosses with Ozzie as a gag boss before going to fight Magus himself.
You'd have the room with the crazy crank-run guillotine things and the hall where you run into important people from your quest as well as that hall with the awesome gargoyle statues.
Treasures would be based on CT armors/weapons.

Thoughts?

Chrono Trigger isn't part of the FF franchise though - sure it has some similar elements, but it's a totally different series. It would be like expecting Mario to be in a Sonic game, it just wouldn't work I'm afraid.

They have something very similar to this in Chrono Trigger!

It has options, as SE does own the rights to it and it is a very popular game. Though I'd prefer it be a series of instances vs. just one. Black Omen as the center, as it could vanish at any time so it won't effect the future, simulating various encounters from CT. 8 man Magus's Castle, 4/8 man multi-level Trial "Spekkio, God of Magic" (Primal Trial: Red Mu hehe), and 24 man Black Omen with various of the iconic CT fights, Dathon and his Golems, Ayzla and Tyrano, Mother Brain, etc.

That would be awesome and something I've thought about as well. Just wanted to start small. It would make me so happy to see more love for CT

Yeah, CT and FF are completely different mythologies. Anything past a silly cameo simply wouldn't fit in with the Lore, unfortunately.

Not that OP's idea has any chance of ever happening, but, sup.

Well, the still-to-come Dragon Quest crossover event is being done in ARR for a specific reason, like the current FFXIII and upcoming FFXI crossover events - as part of the DQ series anniversary. So I guess it is possible if the Chrono games reach a similar milestone, but otherwise it's highly unlikely.

(And as for my earlier reference to Sonic and Mario, yes I know a lot of spinoff titles now feature the two arch enemy mascots together but I was referring to 'old school' Mario and Sonic games - Sonic in, say Mario 64 or Mario running through the original Sonic game just wouldn't work.)

Sorry, but the context is drastically different on them. You'd be better off not having made the analogy at all.

Back then, SEGA and Nintendo were *the* rivals. FF titles from the time and CT share part of the team. See?

But yes, the lore has absolutely no connection whatsoever, and the chance of Magus Castle appearing is zero. The point to be made is that Squeeny has a Kurumada Complex on CT, hating it with a passion, as well as their fans. Did you see the PS "de"make? Did you see the Android version?

Their favorite time of the year is during CT's anniversary alright: sending C&D letters to fan projects.

And the FF titles have the same mythology? CT has as much to do with FF7 as FF7 has to do with FF3, they're both square titles and ATB. So by your definition Crystal Tower is silly.
