@chiminox That's part of the artist's original track. IIRC, it's a representation of Magus' voice maybe. Sounds fitting to me in that respect; remember Magus' chanting in the PSX anime cutscene and how unnatural it was?
Why does Square Enix insist on taking a dump on their already waning fan presence? It wasn't like the creators were going to market this game---it was purely by fans for fans. If anything, I think it would've helped keep interest in Chrono Trigger alive and kicking just in case SE ever decided to get off their asses and make another game.
SE, you fail.
The sad thing is, if SE actually PAID the creators of this hack to make it a full game, I'd actually buy it. But no. C&D is how they went.
I must prevent you, I'm french so excuse me if my english is kinda....lame.
Anyway, you did so well and I'm sincerely sad that all the hours of work you provided were birnt into ashes : i looked through many of your videos, the project crimson memories look so good :'(.As far as I'm concerned, my dream would be that SE would be working with you for the next episode : imagine tour ideas combined with those from the creators of Chrono Trigger....Definitvily ultimate awesomness.
Damn you Square. I haven't played a Final Fantasy game since VII, and the only product of theirs I would consider buying would be a Chrono Trigger remake or sequel or expansion.
Crimson Echoes seemed like exactly the sort of project that Square should have done long ago, had they even the slightest bit of desire to continue with the Chrono series.
Instead they just attack the fans who do what they cannot or will not.
square soft used to had heart, passion, now it's just a bunch of teen-friendly money snorting pedo ridden corporate business suit fucks. a shinrah they once ploy to hate but now have become.
I was already irritated by the fact that Square-Anus seem to be turning Supreme Commander 2 into an RTS version of Final Fantasy. Then I learned about the "cease and desist" they slapped on this game.
I wonder what they're going to do to piss me off next...
I downloaded this game but am unable to complete it due to a problem with the 1999 map when needing to help the central regime. Has anyone been able to successfully complete it?
Actually, the leak that's out is the final version you'll be seeing. That's why it's called a LEAK, not an ALPHA version. There are bugs which was to be expected anyway. Not my fault people don't have access to the good stuff.
Please tell me the name of the program used to create this project. I'm looking into creating an entirely new game using a unique story and set of sprites.
Hilarious! You guys invested all that time into this project for nothing. What were you thinking, honestly? Did you REALLY expect to release a hacked rom of a very popular game and not expect to get a C&D? Get real.
"We understand that you're making a game based on Chrono Trigger. We cannot allow this to happen since that would make us look bad, seeing as we haven't done anything with the Chrono name in almost a decade (ports of CT don't count). Therefore, we muct ask you to cease and desist in your project so that we may steal your ideas, and release our own Chrono sequel... or maybe we'll just release another FF7 spinoff."
They probably faked the cease and desist letter so they could take any fan donations and just not show any work for it.
Anyone who worked on the project could leak what they had, but since they don't its pretty obvious that they had NOTHING. Just a few brief simple modifications.
Everyone said its 98% done, it was supposed to be released the end of the month. Its not just coincidence, they just didn't do the work.
Excuse me? Donations? That is an extreme charge against our honor, sir, and I assure you we were neither out for profit and nor did we receive a single cent from anyone.
And did you SEE the video sitting right in front of you?
Do you have any idea how much video has to be captured to make a good 5 minute preview? Many, many, many hours. Most of the game was captured, and provided I get this cleared with those named in the C&D, we will prove conclusively that this existed.
Would you leak something if you were facing 150k in fines? No. Unless you're a rich asshole then maybe you could give them the 150k so we can all play the game.
Somebody please for the love of God leak this game. Anyone who sends it to me will get free fanfics for life, I shit you not. Any character, any situation you want.
I have no more hope for this company, throughout history, we always see larger masses of individuals either making horrible choices, or accepting the lifeblood of their creation. SE has failed in this respect, and it's clear that they haven't just failed me as a fan. but a much larger body of all of us. you can crush the dream, but not the dreamers.
Hey, Square Enix, you remeber that you twits are supposed to have released Re: chain of memories in PAL at the end of April? Where you fuckers chasing this up instead?
Well, that's cute. You know what else is cute? R4s and Modding my PS2 so I can buy...aw, who am I kidding? I'll fuckin' DVD-R Re: chain of memories to spite the fuck out of you.
I know that boycotting the group that gave us the original games wouldn't amount to much, but something in my heart just isn't the same anymore when I think of S-E.
Threatened by one of the smallest organizations in the world, the major coperation Square Enix fears this. This is what they have refused to work on for a decade. This was the true sequal to Chrono Trigger.
Ya but they're not protecting the fact that they have such a great fan base. Sure there will still be fans but this stunt they pulled will surely tick some ppl off and they'll be gone
It is my regret to confirm that Crimson Echoes is no more. Square Enix took note of the project's extremely professional presentation and considered it enough of a threat to issue a C&D. Crimson Echoes joins the ranks of Chrono Trigger: Resurrection and Chrono Trigger Remake Project.

I honestly don't see the big deal. This looks like the same game, same graphics as the original, but turned around and just not in harmony with what the original was, just like all fan projects. So the palette was changed to make it look night, big deal. This looked pretty boring and not inventive or anything. If it was all new graphics and music that'd be something. This...well, may as well rip graphics and use them in game maker. It's just a boring rehash with lame fan ideas.
I think it was intended to be more of a general cultural reference, but a lot of RH folks are going to pick up on that now that you mention it. Heheh.
Oh, man, I can't wait for this thing to come out. It looks significantly awesome. Power to the Compendium and power to the people and all that good stuff.
