The game’s title sounds like the next sequel in the Twilight series, or some other emo drivel. It really puts the added content in Chrono Trigger DS to shame. (The few misshapen dungeons and an extra boss in that game were not enough to justify the port, or even really tie the original game and sequel together, which is one of the reasons I was very exicted to play Crimson Echoes.) It takes the consequences of time travel way beyond what Back to the Future did. Yes, this game assumes that you took the path of destroying Lavos in 1999 by crashing the Epoch into him (or at least, there’s no mention or use of the original Epoch), and Magus is still kicking, whether you like it or not.ĭespite my joking about this mysteriously new King, the game definitely has a great plot. But don’t worry: Chrono and the rest of the crew, even Magus, are here. Well, King Zeal is back from….wherever he was hiding, and he’s now a major contender for the title of most ruthless bad guy around. You know, that guy who was never mentioned in either game? Surely, if there was a Queen Zeal, there must have been a King…right? Riiiiight? Yes. Who’s King Zeal? Well, he’s the King of Zeal, obviously. Of course, that was the plan, anyway.Įnter King Zeal.
Guardia fell to Porre, but how? Who took the Masamune? What happened to Schala to get her in the state we see her in Chrono Cross ? What happened to the Cathedral from 600 A.D.? Did Gato ever run out of Silver Points? Is that pink sack lunch always going to be available at the Truce fairgrounds? Does anybody mind seeing a flying DeLorean time machine throughout various time periods? All of these questions and more would be answered in the next episode of Chrono Trigger. So what was the team’s goal with this game? To create a solid interquel between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross that explains how the universe got to where it is in Cross, expanding upon the cutscenes from the PS1 and DS versions of Chrono Trigger. Technically, it’s considered a ROM hack, so you’d have to own the original SNES version of Chrono Trigger in order to legally play it but assuming you do, you should be able to find the game through Google.
#CRIMSON ECHOES AND CHRONO RESURRECTION FULL#
Now, finally, an approximately 95% complete build of the game has been released, which is probably the closest we’ll ever get to the full version.
(Somehow, they decided it was OK to post YouTube videos of the game, with nice commentary showing what could have been.) Later, in (I believe) late 2009, a version of the game was leaked, but that contained only 70% of the full build. (In fact, it pretty much never was.) Square Enix decided to stop these kind fellows from developing an unofficial sequel to the acclaimed SNES RPG Chrono Trigger with a Cease and Desist Order, forcing them to destroy all work on the project. It hasn’t always been sunshine and double-rainbows for the Crimson Echoes team. As a duly designated representative of the city, county, and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity Chrono Trigger ROM hacking and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension. Good afternoon, Gozer the Gozerian Crimson Echoes Team.
The following is from an actual letter that the Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes team received from Square Enix, and it’s definitely not something that we just made up for the purposes of this review:
