[QUOTE="Redmoonxl2"][QUOTE="Golden_surfer"][QUOTE="osusfaith"][QUOTE="Golden_surfer"]I doubt it. SE wouldn't be as crazy as to sell that cash cow.Golden_surfer

Chrono Trigger isn't a cash cow. They haven't made a game in the series in like what....7 or 8 years? They prolly realized they can just keep churning out Final Fantasy games and make a profit rather then spreading talent over several different franchises

Chrono trigger is indeed a cash cow. Considered to be one of the best RPGs of all times, and it's spirit sequel as well, it's just ridiculous to think SE would sell it. And even much more ridiculous would be to think a small studio such as Mistwalker would have the financial muscles to buy it.

A cash cow would imply that Square has released more than 4 sequels to this particular series, each scoring big bucks for SE. Hell, the Saga series gets more attention than the Chrono series.

No, a cash cow means it has financial worth. You people can spin your wishful thinking all you want with silly arguments such as MS being behind Mistwalker (Which they are most definetely not) and no games being released on the franchise recently. But fact is Chrono trigger was critically acclaimed and Chrono cross was both, a critical and financial success. There's no chance Square is just going to sell it like that, much less to a Small studio like Mistwalker. If something you guys could see a game based on the franchise developed by mistwalker and published by square. But square selling it... It's just wishful thinking.

"In business, a cash cow is a product or a business unit that generates unusually high profit margins: so high that it is responsible for a large amount of a company's operating profit. This profit far exceeds the amount necessary to maintain the cash cow business, and the excess is used by the business for other purposes."

~ True meaning of cash cow.

When compared to Final Fantasy (Which sells at least 5 million copies an entry), the Chrono series doesn't compare (Chrono Cross sold 1.5 million worldwide, which doesn't come close to touching FF).Once again, Chrono is not a cash cow. That would imply that Chrono would be pumping out Final Fantasy numbers every entry, which in reality hasn't been more than two.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The Chrono series is not a cash cow. There was one game at the end of the SNES life cycle which sold well but not incredibly, and one sequel on PS that sold well. Neither game touched the numbers any FF game gets. Final Fantasy is Square's cash cow. Pardon the pun, but look how bad it's getting milked lately. X-2, Dirge of Cerebus, talks of a VII-2, Advent Children... need I go on? A cash cow needs to bring in cash. It doesn't matter how loved the series name is if they don't produce games. If the Chrono series was a cash cow you would be seeing CTXIII and not FFXIII. Square doesn't need Chrono, and Mistwalker, with Microsoft Game Studios behind it, has more than enough financial muscle to pick up a near-dead IP.

Wrong on what accounts? On your beliefs of what should and what shouldn't be considered a cash cow? Fact is call it what you will, but the franchise really is worth money and Square won't let it go that easly. It may not have sold as much as FF, but it still sold more than a cool million copies, something many games in that time failed to achieve. That and taking into account games are more mainstream now than they were then, a sequel well done is a sure moneymaker. Stop the wishful thinking lemmings.

You guys are unbelievable. From the main point now you're arguing semantics (without links, btw) as if that was the point. The point is SE won't sell the franchise any time soon period. Buy pepto besmol and digest it slowly because that's the cold hard fact.

There is a reason why people use the term "cash cows", which is to milk because it's a guarenteed hot item. You're pretty much associating cash cows with making money but there's a difference between "bringing in the bread (Getting what is needed)" and "milking (Practically generating an insane money flow with little effort)". If Chrono was a cash cow, it would have been in it's 4th installment by now each selling enough to fund Square's other efforts like Final Fantasy does so well.

Hey, you're the one using a term cash cow incorrectly. Face the facts, the Chrono series is a good seller but Square doesn't rely on it as much as Final Fantasy. That's what seperates cash cows from everything else.

Not exactly. Kitase was the director of Chrono Trigger but is working on FFXIII.

You want me to admit I was using the term wrong? Fine, I may have been using it the wrong way(if there is an universal, non subjective definition already stablished) but that doesn't change the fact that as of now SE has very few, if none reasons to sell it. Much less sell it to a recent, Small studio that may very well be competition for them.

Both are giving the same Wunderlampe report and both are saying they've heard reports that Square Enix is selling off one or two of their big franchises because of sales not meeting production costs. Through their own speculation they've come to two possibilities which are Kingdom Hearts which they expect to go to Buena Vista games and Chrono Trigger which they expect to go to Mistwalker. The speculation makes sense but it's still only rumor, as much as I want to believe it.

And that's all I was getting at. Whether Square sells the franchise or not is not a major concern of mine. My beef was your usage of the term.

[QUOTE="Fusible"]Hironobu Sakaguchi created Chrono TriggerAdrianWerner

no he didn't. it's common myth, in reality he hardly had any input into ct, he wasn't part of design and writng team

What are you talking about? Sakaguchi (and Yuji Horii [of Dragon Quest fame]) were Chrono Trigger's supervisors. In other words, they had influence on everything, including the design (by Akira Toriyama) and the writing (which a big part of was written by Masato Kato (Xenogears), who also, worked entirely on Chrono Cross's story. In fact, he worked the most on the entire Chrono universe;that includes Radical Dreamers.......He's not with Mistwalker).

But yeah, Sakaguchi did have big influence in the game, and btw, when you get the developers ending and talk to Sakaguchi, he says somthing like losing a lot of weight because of the work he put in the game :P...Anyway, Chrono Trigger was the work of a big team that many of whom today, aren't working together.

As for the topic, I have no idea if this is true, I'm gonna consider it a rumor but I'd like it to be true because Square Enix is too busy with other titles to work on a third (well, fourth) Chrono.

"Het Duitse Wunderlampe komt met het bericht naar buiten dat Square-Enix van plan is twee van haar gamereeksen te verkopen aan een andere developer/publisher. Dit omdat de ontwikkelingskosten van deze games hoger uitvallen dan de (verwachte) verkopen. Uit eigen speculaties komt de site uit op twee gegadigden, te weten de Kingdom Hearts-reeks en de Seiken Densetsu-reeks (Mana-reeks).

Zo verwacht Wunderlampe dat de Kingdom Hearts-licentie verkocht zal worden aan Buena Vista Games, waarbij een Xbox 360-game en een Wii-game volledig tot de mogelijkheden behoren. Bij de Seiken Densetsu-licentie komt de site uit bij Nintendo, aangezien er nog meer delen verschijnen voor Nintendo consoles. =Wunderlapme expects that the kingdom-hearts license will be sold to Buena Vista games where a xbox 360 en wii-game of the game could be possible.

Ook andere licenties worden onder de loep genomen. Zo wordt de Chrono-licentie al gebonden aan Mistwalker (Chrono Trigger 2 naar de Xbox 360?), en worden de overige reeksen al uitgesloten wegen matige verkopen in het westen.

In hoeverre Wunderlampe gelijk heeft, ik betwijfel het, maar geruchten zijn geruchten."= Even If Wunderlampe is right, i doubt it, but rumors are rumors.

"A business, product or asset that, once acquired and paid off will produce consistent cash flow over its lifespan." I have this one, which perfectly endorses my opinion. Taken from investopedia, the second result on google when you type cash cow.

So this proves that there isn't an universal definition of the term cash cow, and that trying to spin it is just grasping for straws. Anyway my point about the topic is made. The discussion over the meaning of cash cow is just meaningless.

tbh, I know what he was driving at. I'm always arguing semantics, I dunno why. It's the biggest (most common) fight my girlfriend and I go through. It's like my own special form of OCD. Except that I can turn it off when I'm dealing with people that I don't expect to know the meanings of words anyhow (arrogant, perhaps, but a truth of life that not all are created/born equal). /rant

No on both accounts. I already explained why SE won't sell Chrono, and I already proved there is not an universal definition of cash cow. better luck next time.

theres already a sequel and its called chrono cross... and if mistwalker would make another chrono title... it would be boring just like every other title from mistwalker. And POP song will be included in the game. Example of the future POP song lyrics:

"Hey, Hey lets go! Kenka Suru.
Taisetsu na mono protect my balls.
boku ga warui so lets fighting...
lets fighting love
lets fighting love" :lol:

If either the original on XBLA or a new version for 360 is officially announced I think my head would explode.

It's a rumor, big deal. Seriously though, Mistwalker didn't design Chrono Trigger. You might as well say that the Dream Team is developing Dragon Quest Swords for the Wii (hey, Horii and Toriyama are working on it; that's two contributors, am i rite?)

Likely to be false. There are no words of this circulating around Japanese gaming news, so I highly doubt they'd appear on European news first. Besides Golden_surfer has a valid point. The Chrono series is a highly successful franchise, and I just don't see them letting it go. No short-term amount of money can exceed the amount that the Chrono series can make if a new addition were to be made. Bogus.

dudes its just a rumore nothing more. Look its here too http://gonintendo.com/?p=11426

To be honest I doubt it will go to 360 it just doesint fit the personality. So 360 fanboys dont get your hopes up.

why do you **** keep refering to the xbox 360 as the past "xbox". this is a new gen and MS has already proven and succeded its interest JRPG's. let the past go and get with the times....plz? or stay in denial.....Chrono WILL come to 360, along with the rest of the Final Fantasy games.....its inevitable :)
