After experiencing Chrono Trigger again during the Endurance Run, and despite being reminded about how strange and weird Chrono Cross was, I’d happily play another Chrono game. The way Chrono Trigger ends, you just know they went off on more adventures, and I’d like to see them. Where'd Brono's mom go?!
Chrono Bind is not that game. There’s not much “news” here, except to dispel speculation I’ve been seeing about a domain registration Square Enix has purchased, discovered by Siliconera.
Siliconera points out that Chrono Bind is a card game that’s being included in an set of downloadable content for Final Fantasy XIII-2.
The idea that Square Enix won’t ever make another Chrono game again is crazy, just like it’s crazy to think Final Fantasy VII won’t get a remake or direct sequel one day. Today just isn’t that day.
Wow, they're really keen on releasing terrible DLC for that game, aren't they?

I already had the quest, but goddamn you people. Nice spam.
First?Damn. I tried :P.
I do wish that they'd come out with something in the Chrono vein, but honestly, as long as Square keeps putting out good games, I don't really care.
@BatMat: mission accomplished..
Point taken :-)
That's a shame.

So you've been caring for a while, then.

FF13-2 was actually really good, so...

WHOA, NOW
Golden opportunity lost there, SE...
Hm. If by "really good" you mean "really redundant, terrible, and completely lost everything that made the series good in the first place", I agree.

Couldn't have worded that better myself.
Square might have a love/hate relationship with money.

I doubt they meant that. Don't be so rude
Grrr, arrrgh, boo. Holding out hope still...
Man, back in the day, Square had it all figured out. They'd do a Chrono project or a Mana project or an original property like Vagrant Story between FF's. They even pulled in Quest and brought Tactics to the wider world as a Square product.
And then when they did make a new FF, it was an event.
Now they are just incapable of producing a good game, franchise or otherwise. Almost all of the FF remakes are joyless, only exception I can think of is FF4 DS. At least we still have Mistwalker, and somewhere deep in the Square basements, Enix.
@Nasar7: I have no love in my heart for anything Chrono Cross, but calling it strange AND weird is probably going too far. Either word would do on its own. Possibly accompanied by 'dismal'.
