Obsidian wants to do Chrono Trigger sequal

Man, they have totally given up on original IP's huh?

What's your say? To be honest 5 years ago I would have been very interested, but the last few releases from the company have not exactly set my confidence high in them. The ideas are there, but the technology seem to always be the stumbling point for them.

They would be better off porting the original one to iphone or something.

...they mean Chrono Cross?

I imagine the reaction to Alpha Protocol didn't fill them with much confidence.

Maybe they should try and concentrate on Fallout Vegas.  I have a feeling that game could make or break them - actually, it's more like 'break or not break them'.

" ...they mean Chrono Cross? "

Don't touch the best jrpg series out there Obsidian. You'll only disappoint me.

You can tell those guys to fuck right off.  I might trust the development of a new Chrono Trigger if you were willing to get Nintendo, Naughty Dog, the entirety of Square Enix, Bethesda and Rockstar and managed by God...
 
It's great that they love the game, but it's hard to think of a worse developer to consider making a sequel.

Kindly stay the fuck away from my Chrono Trigger/Cross, Obsidian.

obsidian doing an iteration of any existing JRPG franchinse LOL

Do I want a sequel? yes. From Obsidian? No. From Square-Enix? No. 

Id not mind...with square doing nothing with the franchise except killing any fan made stuff. See: http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/

Aw heeeeeeell naaaawwwww.

I say they can have at it. I dont think theres anyway them making a sequel is going to make the original less awesome or something. If Square's not going to do it, why not let someone else roll the dice and see what happens?  
 
I loved cross by the way. In fact, re-making THAT one with more western rpg elements might work better. Plus for the fanboys it leaves the untouchable on its pedestal.

The first thing I though was "What?"
The next thing was "......What?"

I liked Chrono Cross too, although I felt that it was only loosely tied with Chrono Trigger.

Please god no

I do wonder how they would fuck that up sadly :/

I'll be honest, an open-world RPG with different time periods that you traveled between where events affected could change the future sounds really cool.  Think Ocarina of Time meets Oblivion.
 
But get the fuck away from Chrono Trigger and just make that game on your own.  Call it Fallout 4D.  But don't call it Chrono _____.

I doubt it would be a remake, Obsidian isn't lacking in ideas just technical know how (or something). Maybe a 3DS title? It would probably lower costs a bit, and minimize risks. I'm a pretty diehard Chrono fan and would love a new game. But if Obsidian is digging up the past, where's my Planescape sequel? They should be on the phone with Wizards of the Coast. "

NEVER.
 
 
If there's going to be a new Chrono game, it's going be made by Square Soft.
Soft, not ENIX.

 
Can't we just leave some franchises in the past where they belong? No?

Why God Why?!

I'm not sure if I would be cool with Obsidian making a Chrono sequel, but I would love to see someone like Level 5 work on one.

Wait, why does a WRPG company want to do a sequel to a JRPG already with a sequel? None of this makes sense!

" I'm not sure if I would be cool with Obsidian making a Chrono sequel, but I would love to see someone like Level 5 work on one. "

Uh, I want this more than anything, but not by the makers of Alpha Protocol. No. NO.

I'd rather see a cartoon anime series of the game from Akira Toriyama that's not just an OVA.

Where would they even begin?  Chrono Trigger isn't really set up well for a sequel imo, and anything loosely based on the franchise could be summed up by a unique ip.
 
So, I'd rather not.

People need to calm down.  It was a joke question about which franchise they would like to do if they had complete choice over any SE property.  Its a spur of the moment answer.  Its not some company statement nor is it in the works.
