Fresh from my new personal website, a rant! Not just any rant, this rant is special. I actually felt like kicking the crap out of someone while typing it. A link to this new site can be found below, ya know, incase you want to bookmark it for future viewing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, obviously SE is back to not giving a flying fuck about the Chrono series fans which is a shame because after ten years of giving us nothing but a DS port with a few new areas, some script changes, and a Poke'Mon/Digimon/Monster Rancher type battle arena, they issued a cease and desist against ROM hacks being used to make fangames. It started with the beautifuly redered 3D remake of Trigger and it has finally made it's way to the 2D projects, like Crimson Echoes. Obviously, we're only worthy of a retooled port after ten years of waiting for another epic. Ten long years of anticipation, and the whole "Chrono Break" thing was just fucking mean. Seriously, a new Chrono title is leaked and then never sees the light of day after so many people got their hopes up?! Now you want to stifle the non-profit fan projects that would increase...interest...

...Oh, I get it. If Chrono Break is any indication nothing Chrono related is headed our way for quite a while, perhaps never again. God forbid SE stops churning out Final Fantasy after Final Fantasy long enough to show the Chrono fans they still give a shit. "Hey, this androgynous boy has to save the world and maybe fall in love while doing so!" "Oh shit, that's brilliant! Let's roll with it, and make twelve more games like it, only with a different story and a few similarities between them. While we're doing that, let's plan multiple spin-offs based around the same basic concept, maybe with a different battle system or style of play depending on how people react."

SE: Making dick moves ever since Chrono Trigger Ressurection was axed due to paranoid delusions that it was going to be used for profit and not just to appease the fans they've been spitting on since the Chrono Break(Brake) trademark was registered in 2001 and left floating around for eight years. Yeah, like you jerks are gonna get around to actually using the damned thing instead of teasing the fans and squashing their efforts to appease other fans with a non-profit fangame. What next, gonna go after the fan artists, fanfic writers, flash animators who parody and tribute your work, and the music remixers? Well, you do have the money for pointless lawsuits what with milking the damned Final Fantasy cash cow. A sign of things to come, gaming is now a casual thing and instead of giving two shits about what the fans who have been here for more than ten goddamned years want, it's now about what the fucking Wii Fit playing, everyday person who treated gamers like shit in junior high and high school want. Apparently, they want more repetitive Final Fantasy stories. My parents are actual gamers compared those casual wannabes!

Jeez, they ARE dicks. You have to be a real paranoid jerk to shutdown fangames.

The real kick in the pants was that Crimson Echoes was nearly done. Such a shame, too. That fan sequel would have matched, or even exceeded CT's epicness. Oh, and the best site for Chrono info, resources and damned near everything else had to take any pages and forums having to do with ROM Hacks. I simply how SE pretty much slapped the entire Chrono fan commuinity in the face and followed it up with a hearty "Fuck You All!" It's nice to know where they stand when it comes to the fans. Especially the fans they've been dicking around for years with a leaked trademark for a game that will never exist, and a handheld port that just doesn't match the original.

I'm still pissed that Jhonny wasn't "The Man" in the DS version. That little tidbit alone will fuel my dislike(I still love Dragon Quest so no hate...yet)for SE.
