Holy shit, dude.

3D remake of Chrono Trigger...

BOOYAH!

I am so there...and please do it well.

Sweet, though I do wish they'd hurry up on the sequel to Chrono Trigger.

You may be waiting quite a while on that one. Square doesn't currently have a sequel to CT under development (unless you count the already released Chrono Cross) although they probably will do one eventually.

As for this game, yeah I've know about it for a while, it looks interesting, but I try not to get too excited about fan projects as they rarely get finished.

EDIT: This seems different from the project I had heard about. It's quite good looking, but I notice that there aren't any character models in the screenshots besides Chrono himself. If that's all they have, then the hardest parts (model creation, texturing and animating) are still ahead for this team.

Also, I should point out that they don't seem to have much set for a release schedule. They say they want to do a demo by Christmas, but as for the final game...

They're not doing the full game. The want to make a demo with their favorite scenes from Chrono Trigger. Making the full game is both more likely to get Square-Enix after them and much more time consuming than they want it to be.

for some weird reason the link won't work for me.

otherwise this sounds like a great kickass project.

I loved Chrono Trigger, better then Final Fantasy IMO. I do fear that this project will collapse on it's own like so many other fan-projects have... hopefully that won't happen.

Can't find the server on this end.

Neither can I. When I visited it yesterday they had taken some of the sound samples down because of heavy traffic, maybe the site is down totaly for the same reason.

The site's server has suspended traffic before because of this...

True, but from browsing their forums, I noticed that they WANT to do the full game, and they are probably looking for popularity through the demo before getting the backing to do it. They will never be able to sell it, but as long as they don't, Square probably wont have a problem with it. According to the site admin, they had hits from the Square-Enix Japan server on the first day...

I could settle for this instead of a CC sequel, at least until Square-Enix figures out the project is worth doing.

The problem is, most of the people who worked on CT and CC no longer work at Square. If Sakaguchi was still around, I have no doubt that there would be a third game (the Chrono series was his baby), but as of right now it doesn't look good. Square is still smarting over the huge bomb that was FF: TSW and until they start to feel secure again, they won't be making much except for sure-fire success titles.

I heard they were working on one actually, even reserved the name "Chrono Break" for it.

They gave up the trademark on the name some months ago. More to the point, Yasunori Mitsuda has been quoted as saying that he'd love to work on Chrono 3, but as far as he knows no such title is under development. If Square-Enix WAS going to make Chrono 3, Mitsuda would know about it.

i don't think we've been given any sort of confirmation to this. only that the name chrono break was filed at a trademark office. For now all we know is that they might have plans to work on the game in the future, but it's not known for definite.
