10 Industry-Defining Video Games That Are Nowhere To Be Seen
5. Chrono Trigger
The brainchild from the creator of Final Fantasy, the creator of Dragon Quest and the creator of Dragon Ball combined, Chrono Trigger was one of the most innovative games of it's time due to its colourful cast, solid gameplay, multiple endings and a perfectly well-realised game world. Chrono Trigger's successor, Chrono Cross, arrived in 1999 and again pushed video game narrative and gameplay boundaries. There were 45 playable characters, each with their own backstories and unique speech patterns, an ambitious storyline about parallel worlds, and a colourful new game universe that pushed the PlayStation's hardware. After some initial discussion over another potential sequel titled 'Chrono Break', all plans have been dropped. Despite massive critical acclaim and millions of sales for each title in the series, an official sequel is still not on the cards. Even the well-received DS and Android re-releases of Chrono Trigger haven't swayed Square Enix's mind about revisiting the Chrono franchise. So far, the closest thing to another game in the Chrono series is the unofficial fan-made sequel, Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, which was sadly slapped with a cease and desist from Square Enix. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts are great and all, but please Square Enix, give everyone some more colourful Chrono time-travelling madness.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
