Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes (Leaked SNES Hack Beta) - 16.02.09 Build Intro

The intro of one of the latter builds of the Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes ROMhack!

You know, this long awaited fan sequel to Chrono Trigger received a C&D (Cease & Desist) letter sent by Square-Enix in order to prevent the hack from being released...

Please note that this is NOT the 98% complete build that was shown in the cememorial video walkthrough!

It's a late beta build that has become available thanks to people who'd like to remain unnamed...

Looks like not all copies of the ROMhack were destroyed, this one somehow managed to fall into my hands after all! ^_^

But seriously, out of the respect I have for the people who dedicated their spare time to this game and also because I don't want to add even more fuel to the fire that spawned from the C&D letter earlier I am not going to upload this build anywhere in case someone asks for it!

If the person this ROM came from decides to "officially" release it himself it's no business of mine, but if he does not want this to be spread around the net I am not going to do so either!

Anyways, I just wanted to show that the possibility of the finished hack seeing a release someday is still there.

Well, I don't think there's much need for more gameplay footage of it as the cememorial already has released a complete walkthrough...

Can some one send me the link to download this

@youssef11223344

Try looking for it with Google!

I assure you that it isn't that hard to find the game via Google nowadays!

@upaluppa

It's definitely not the same intent--the new hack is almost riding on the name of CE for the sake of riding on the name. Which, there's nothing wrong with it, but most of those fans who are following CE still may be duped into thinking it's the same sort of experience, this Flames of Eternity thing...

@upaluppa

I think I heard of that smaller project, I saw a video of a resurrection sort of deal over at romhacking dotnet's forums. I'm waiting to hear more details of it. Last I saw was a playable Glenn being shown off :)

@DiipuSurotu

Well, let's just say that former members of the CE development team have decided to release their game even tough Zeality did not want this to happen! ^_^

If you don't believe me, the leaked files are still available via 4shared.com!

Just search for "CE Development IPS.zip" and you will find them!

Download them if you like to, but you'd better not make this leak public if you don't want to cause trouble for the chronocompendium...

[DiipuSurotu]

@upaluppa How the fact is that even possible? Were you one of the beta testers? There isn't even any build from May 2009, since the project got the C&D in EARLY May 2009...

[upaluppa]

@RySenkari

You are right...

I am sorry, when I wrote that comment I must've been fooled by the May date of the alpha build, which was in 2008, not 2009.

I have just checked it, the February build from this video is the most recent one in the folder. If it really would go up to May I would already play the 98% build by now! ^_^

[RySenkari]

@upaluppa By the way, you said the development folder had all the builds up until May 2009, but 2.16 was the last build? Wouldn't that mean that the folder has all the builds up until the middle of February 2009?

[upaluppa]

@RySenkari

I hope so too!

I don't think they have "destroyed" all copies of the ROM.

I mean seriously, nobody would just destroy something he has been working on for four years of his life!

And the existence of the development folder and the 02.16. build prove that not all of their work is lost as these have been leaked just recently in order to give the Flames Of Eternity team something to start working with!

[RySenkari]

The 2-16 build shown here doesn't have the new techs or the new final boss, though it is a LOT more polished.

I'm hoping now that Flames of Eternity is making the rounds that the CE team will see reason and leak the true 98% beta.

[CelicetheGreat]

@upaluppa

Same here. And in all truth, I'd rather they just make a bunch of posts on a forum with images to go along with the spoof, rather than riding with the hack. I guess we'll wait and see the response.  Maybe if it's bad enough, somehow, Crimson Echoes will actually get released.

And oh, how bad it will feel to have this hack not be bothered by Squareeeenix, but the superior locked down and told, no, you can't be played. It will suck majorly.

[upaluppa]

@CelicetheGreat

I don't really get the point of all this...

Of course I am hoping that they are really trying to recreate the experience of the 98% build of Crimson Echoes, but for now it just looks like these guys are pissed of (excuse the foul language, but how else should I call it?) by the team behind CE for not releasing the full build and thus trying to make fun of them.

Their Flames Of Eternity hack seriously looks more like a Crimson Echoes Spoof kind of thing to me.
