Now, this isn’t a new thing for the company. Square Enix had no qualms about lending its characters to the game. The fact that Square Enix, along with Kato and Mitsuda, went for Chrono Cross’s cast rather than Trigger’s (a game that might be more popular than its sequel) leads me to speculate about the importance of the (rumored) upcoming Chrono Cross Remaster. Some gamers in the JRPG community expressed their frustration at Cross and not Trigger (pictured) being the chosen title. Will The Rumored Chrono Cross Remaster be More Than Just a Remaster? When rumors of the Chrono Cross Remaster began to solidify.
However, both men were also deeply involved in Chrono Trigger’s development (Kato directed Cross, but was a scenario writer for Trigger), and instead of Trigger, they seem to have decided to settle on Chrono Cross for the crossover event. Thus, Chrono Cross (a game that they worked on two decades ago) feels like natural game and universe to blend into AE’s own time traveling premise. Truth be told, both of these men (Kato in particular) are behind the development and subsequent support of Another Eden. This Cross event (which starts today) was developed with important Chrono Series’s luminaries such as, Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda overseeing the project. Serge, Kid and Harle’s arrival to the Another Eden’s universe feels more like a carefully planned strategy to familiarize gamers with Chrono Cross’s universe before its remaster arrives than just a happy coincidence. Coincidence or a Perfect Marketing Strategy? In the middle of growing rumors/reports claiming that Square Enix has been working hard on a Chrono Cross Remaster (some say Remake), it was announced last week that Wright Flyer Studios’ popular ‘Free to Play’ RPG, Another Eden, will feature a Chrono Cross related event.
