Chrono Trigger

Could we get some Chrono Trigger characters in this game?

At lest a event where we can get vanity equipment.

This would be strictly fan service, and awesome.

As amazing as CT is it is completely unrelated to Final Fantasy, so don't hold your breath

Unless they make a new Chrono game that they need to advertise, never gonna happen.

And while we're on the subject: SE, please make another Chrono game.

Yeah Release that Chrono break ggame allready which has been licensed forever ago.

But.... unless we get a chance to travel back in time to before Bahamut, there nevere will be anything like it.

And I still have that nagging feeling that our eorzea is the "abyssea" version of old eorzea. where things went wrong, that didnt go wrong in the other eorzea.

So maybe look forward to Chrono Cross rather than Chrono trigger (those mirror knights do resemble certain mobs in Chrono Cross)

I don't know about that. I mean, they had a DQ cross-over event of all things. It's a lot less of a stretch to put nods to Chrono Trigger in at some point. Hell, you know what? I hope one of the events at the Gold Saucer is a Gato trial battle. XD

I wouldn't mind a Spekkio minion.

A Nu minion would be awesome :)

The new race will be Frog. Please look forward to it.

Anything CT related in this game would be amazing.

This, sadly this.

Chrono Trigger is not of the Final Fantasy franchise, even though it is perhaps one of the best RPGs Squaresoft ever put out. We will never see CT enemies in FFXIV. The only exception to this would be if SE decided to do a new Chrono Trigger game and thus do a cross over event (like with FFXIII: LR, FFXI, and Dragon Quest). Otherwise, it's no-go.

And trust me, I hope SE wises up and puts out either a continuation to the Chrono Trigger brand, or a revamp of Chrono Trigger. To be honest, it completely baffles me why this has not happened yet. There was a guy some years ago that had started on a Chrono Trigger reboot, sadly, SE made him cease and desist. Really sad too, considering how good it looked at the time. Now with current gen capabilities it would be sure to look even better.

One can dream...

Let many companies, they got to a point where they only focus on their Flagship because they do to want to take risks anymore. It's not like the 90's when every company had a lot if different franchises and series they they keep putting out and had fun with.

Actually, it's because the Chrono Dream Team has split up among several different companies now, and SE are worried that it wouldn't be a "true" Chrono game without them. SE is well aware that there's a market for another game, they just don't want it to be some In Name Only continuation slapped together for some cash. Remember the DS remake?

I have to agree with this. CT being my favorite game, I don't think it's possible to live up to the expectations set by the first game, especially with the ideals the game industry holds as standard today. Anything OTHER than a pure fan sequel (for those that truly love the series) would be blasphemy, because I honestly think the true fans would care more about CT than SE would.

Well I will not go into what is required to make a true sequel for the Chrono series but the 20th Anniversary is coming and that is a solid reason to have an event in the game for giggles. I personally would love to see Mitsuda and Soken team up to bring a track for a fate. The feels would be so strong. Mitsuda + Soken 2015!

They're still unrelated.

True the only two that are actually related are the Saga Series (found this one out from wiki) and the Mana series which started with my most hated enemy FF Mystic Quest. But because of the core fact that they were some of the most acclaimed and still strangely not well known that release came. But for the common understanding most people but chrono in the line so no harm done.

Did we not just have a Dragon Quest related event?

Is there a correlation between Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy? (Honest question, I have never played Dragon Quest.)

EDIT: Final Fantasy XIV Crossover Collaborations

Dragon Quest X came out in December 2013 so like the lightning event, they wanted to advertise it. Also, yoshi p used to be on the dev team for DQ, but was removed for XIV. Other than that, no DQ like CT is it's own series.

False. Chrono Trigger is very closely related to FF despite the fact that it doesn't fit in the FF multiverse.

they could easily have another story for Chrono trigger, just make magus crazy because he want's his sisters schala back and decides to warp back in time and screw up everything.

causing bosses to revive and him not being the true end boss they can figure all of that on their own.

Dude I love that idea. A Cameo with any of those characters or even the music would be amazing.
But, I've noticed some people don't always like that kinda thing. People were mad about the Lightning Fates.
Which I think is dumb. You wanna argue about "lore" in a "fantasy" game. Cmon.
Pretty sure Fantasy means anything can happen.

If they really have a CT collab anyway then I want Crono's hairstyle in this game, pairing the hair with all 3 waymarks on one spot makes me a super saiyan reborn.

Whilst CT is an amazing game, I honestly dont think Chrono Cross gets nearly enough love as it deserves. Would love to see a continuation maybe in the form of Schala/Kid searching to be reunited with Serge, sort of like FFX2.

But back to the point, yes CT crossover would be cool

Except that he tried that and had his memory erased and wound up in a forest. Plus Cross already completed Schala's story in the end.

They could make the next big raid The Black Omen.

The Black Omen was once the Ocean Palace that was destroyed by Lavos. In the alternate time-line it was transformed into a flying arcology, a temple infused with the near-infinite power of Lavos by using the Mammon Machine. With this being said, I'm sure it can easily pop up hovering above Eorzea with awesome gear from Chrono Trigger.

the gremlin in lost city is from chrono trigger no? who is to say they won't add more...

I like hot dog and I like chocolate. I believe that chocolate hot dog is so glorious.

Er... Actually... not exactly. While I admit the Franchise Chrono Trigger is unrelated to the Final Fantasy series, the concept of Time Travel, and Time Paradoxes is not unknown to the Final Fantasy series.

In fact Final Fantasy I, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy VIII, and Final Fantasy XI (and that is just the main series) all featured Time Travel in their story lines. Including Grandfather Paradoxes such as the one that appears in the first major story arch of ChronoTrigger. Though the plot of the ChronoTrigger Grandfather Paradox is handled differently to the Grandfather Paradoxes in the Final Fantasy Series.

All that said, including ChronoTrigger in an event similar to Lightning Strikes would not be the first time that a non-Final Fantasy Game was featured in such an event for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Or do I need to remind you all how we got the Wind-Up Brickman Minion which is a reference to the Dragon Quest series?

My understanding was that people didn't re-buy Chrono Trigger enough for SE to believe making a sequel was worthwhile.

I want a Mana game first.
And not like those terrible reboot attempts from 2 generations ago where yall just took some cheap mechanics and slapped on a coat of Mana paint.

Oh, and side note. Why the hell is Square refusing to release more Dragon Quest here? It's pretty popular as far as JRPGs in the west go and Nintendo has offered to do localization.

They made a sequel of ChronoTrigger. It's name is ChronoCross it is the direct sequel to the ChronoTrigger game. The problem is that it didn't do very well.

now I finally remember where I know it from, true it looks a bit different than in CT, spekkios ipso facto minimo magicos weakest form, but still

and he has a similar rude attitude as that weird gremling thing describing the world of magus and shala.

this is not directly false but also not quite right

Chrono Cross is a direct sequel to Radical Dreamers, which was a Text Adventure which explains Kidd's past. I tried to play it, but my japanese wasn't good enough to understand a text adventure like that back than.

Chrono Cross has elements from Chrono Trigger, sadly my memory card died shortly after I met Chrono Lucca and Marle in CC so I cant say much more about it. And yes Glenn too is in this game (Kaeru/Frog from CT) but I am not sure how they relate D:

I am not sure, but isn't there somewhere an easter egg hidden? I think I found something during 2.0 (or 1.x?) which made me go "aaaaah so cool"

The Glenn in CC is a different Glenn than CT. He's just an homage/reference really. So is Turnip. Though Glenn's a *beast* when he can dual wield.

Yeah, this. ^

Chrono Cross didn't sit well with me for a number of reasons, but the biggest was that it didn't have the same feel at all as Chrono Trigger did. It felt like a totally different game, but with trappings and plot fragments from Chrono Trigger slapped on here and there. When I learned that it was a continuation of a totally different game, it all made sense: It wasn't Chrono Trigger 2, it was Radical Dreamers 2, with CT bits added on to try to capture some of the huge fanbase CT had.

So, we wound up with a much more serious and less whimsical game. Characters and settings from the first game were referenced, and coldly eliminated one way or another, such as the brutally off-hand way it was mentioned that the kingdom of Guardia was conquered and destroyed, Lucca's implied murder, and Robo's on-screen "death". Instead of an ensemble cast, we had dozens of ridiculously pointless characters to play as, with only three, possibly four of them getting any character development to speak of. None of the cool battle mechanics from the first game made it into the second, with the exceptions of a bare handful of "combo techs" that were clearly added as an afterthought.

As a stand-alone game, Chrono Cross was not bad - maybe even good. I won't deny that I loved playing through it; the music was great, and the storyline was interesting. Whenever it tried to tie in to Chrono Trigger, though, I cringed; as a sequel to Chrono Trigger, it was a cold-blooded cash-grab and a slap in the face to fans of the original game.

I enjoyed playing Chrono Cross the first time through, it had an interesting skill system that I remember really liking for some reason. There were a few things I didn't like about Chrono Cross though; With as many characters as there were available in that game... they had like 1 Triple tech, maybe 2, but I only remember there being 1. The second problem was with the story itself, when you finally do meet ghost Chrono, Marle, and Lucca they essentially reveal to you that because of the main character everything they did didn't matter. That's what really put the sour taste in my mouth.

(Didn't check the source but..) Not sure if serious...

There is quite literally 2-3 other ports of Chrono Trigger out there and I own 2 of them myself, plus the original SNES version. One of them was Final Fantasy Chronicles, and then I also have the Nintendo DS version of the game as well. Pretty sure there was also another Playstation version besides what was on FF Chronicles.

Which is part of the reason why you don't get high sales for a game players that love it already own like 2-3 copies of the game. At a point, you simply wonder why do I need ANOTHER copy of the same thing? This is why we need something new.

For a game they kept on porting for new/other systems, you'd think they'd go ahead and do more with it.
