Why does everyone ask about Chrono Trigger? [after being told that the games are a very much loved] That's not what the sales tell me!. If people want a sequel, they should buy more!

I already hate that guy.

I don't understand how Square could say making a new Chrono Trigger wouldn't be profitable. If you make a good game it'll sell.

Ten year old port of extremelly fabled JRPG didn't sell so no sequel? What kind of twisted logic is that? People have to buy the same game twice to convince them? For a direct port these sales are fucking AWESOME. Those sales are more than most developers hope for their brand-new games, and a no-effort port (as it's not a remake like their Final Fantasy re-releases) demands more..? This thing would have been profitable with less than 5K sales probably. Of course a sequel would need more than that but its sales potential can't be judged by this port, and if it could be judged then with these numbers it would actually be a YES IT'LL WORK case...

S-E Handheld Game Sales

I liked Chrono Trigger and loved Chrono Cross and was hoping that there would be more but this guy is a Dick so i guess that means No.

I think it's very stupid of Square Enix to try to judge the sales of a potential title by counting the sales of a port to a specific single platform.

They'd probably find a way to make it crappy anyways if they did make a sequel though.

BS, he's just trying to build hype for a game secretly in development.

Square has done  nothing short of not releaseing chrono games to try and kill that franchise they don't market it snes chrono trigger got marketing chrono cross got barely any marketing and chrono trigger DS got even less then that, Then you have all these fanmade games that rival and destroy square offiical ones. games that show a care of the gameplay and story that square doesn't have any more, And when they are talked bout BOOM sqaure kills them off with cease and desist orders not because they are worried bout property rights but because they are being made to look bad, these games with developer numbers of like 3-4 people rival any thing comming out of square interms of story and it makes square look bad simple as that.

Maybe if square would give their short end games marketing preference over their more well knowns then they'd get the sales, maybe if they didn't release an inane DS port that at most took them 3 months to put together that has no real content over the original game and try to make us pay 40 dollars for it, its like atari rereleaseing the original atari pacman with no upgrade on xbox live or psn and being suprised when no one purchases it because they have other alternatives like pacman CE which is totally remade and cool.

Uh-oh. They've made vidiot very angry.
This whole situation, and quote from him sickens and infuriates me.
Chrono Trigger was completely out of print for years, and there were two fan remakes in the works. (One of which wasn't even a remake.) More recently they shut down another fan project Crimson Echoes which got a cease and desist letter literally weeks before it's release. When fans are doing more work than you are with your own franchise, there is a problem. The solution isn't to treat them like garbage, but to actually do something constructive with it.

A port of a game that's over ten years old, is not constructive. If you've wanted to play Chrono Trigger by now, you have played Chrono Trigger. At least with the port they can now, maybe, have some leg to stand on when they get upset with fan projects that infringe on their copyright. Valve on the other hand has no problem with it.

Fuck youSquare. I'm sorry that my reaction has to devolve to such language, but c'mon!
And he actually has the balls to insinuate a complaint to the customers as if we aren't doing something right.

well selling an old ass Jrpg in america for $40 (a handheld game) isn't exactly a recipe for success..even if its chrono trigger

i understand its appeal but thats still alot of money..i don't care if it's their standard charge for DS games

when i bought it i already felt like i was paying twice the reasonable amount for that game, that dude aint satisfied?
