4 Potential RPG's That Would Be A License To Print Money

4. A True Chrono Sequel

Chrono Trigger was released for the SNES in 1994 and has long been proclaimed as one of the greatest games of all time by numerous voices of gaming 'authority'. Developed by a 'dream team' including Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of Final Fantasy), Yuji Horii (creator of Dragon Quest) and Masata Kato (writer of Xenogears), it depicted a world that players were tasked with visiting across multiple time periods to stop an apocalyptic event caused by Lavos, a long dormant supernatural being. Both the story and the gameplay were sublime, and fans have long clamoured for a true sequel to the game. A follow-up of sorts, Chrono Cross, was released in 1998, but featured a new cast of characters and wasn't given a Western release outside of North America, despite being comparable in quality to its predecessor. Such is the demand that a fan-made sequel, Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes, almost made it to be release, making it to 95% completion before Square Enix's team issued a cease-and-desist order in 2009, terminating the project after five years of development. Their reasons for doing this are both understandable and nonsensical at the same time - naturally they have a right to protect unauthorised use of their intellectual property, but given the devotion of the fans involved, why not embrace the willingness of the modding community, adopt their creations and put them on the market officially, essentially making money off of the hard work of others (as Valve did with Counterstrike, originally a Half-Life mod, for instance)?
