Square Enix to Fully Support Switch, Chrono Trigger Director Teases New Project
Could the two be related? That's what teases are for ... to make you ask the hard questions when the blanks aren't filled in for you.
Publisher Square Enix is going all-in with its support of the Nintendo Switch, having already released several titles for the handheld-console hybrid. More will be on the way, the company said, with that point being driven home by a later tease from Chrono Trigger director Takashi Tokita.
Square COO Yosuke Matsuda told Japanese publication Nikkei (via Press A 2 Join) that the company will continue to make games "leveraging the functions of Switch." I Am Setsuna has already been released, and Octopath Traveller, Dragon Quest 10 and Dragon Quest 11 are currently in development. In Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes I & II have been ported over, and a Seiken Densetsu Collection is planned. More are likely on the horizon.
"In addition to developing new titles, we also want to port what we can do with existing game titles more and more," Matsuda said.
Shortly after those comments, long-time Square exec Tokita posted on Twitter (via My Nintendo News) that “Top-Secret Mission Begins!” along with a picture of a Switch. He is best known for working on the Chrono Trigger series of RPGs, but has had his hand in Final Fantasy 3 through 5. He also was director on Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light for DS in 2010. He later said he wanted to make another JRPG in the same style.
Whether it is a new Chrono Trigger, a Final Fantasy or even something new all together, Tokita's "secret mission" could end up making a lot of JRPG fans very happy–especially those who bought a Switch.

Ahh, that explains a lot. Review was written by Andrew Vestal.
He's the guy that ran the Unofficial Squaresoft Homepage (UOSSHP) back in late 90s/early 2000s. I spent a lot of time on that site back in the day. He may have been a little biased in writing that Chrono Cross review. -
Yeah, my post was really just an excuse to bring up that review. The person writing the review didn't view a 10/10 score the same way Gamespot did, and Gamespot didn't realize until they had published the review and Jeff (I believe) made a comment about it being a perfect game and the reviewer responded saying it definitely wasn't.

Yeah and that came out nearly 20 years ago, there have been a few changes in the company since then. Game design philosophies have changed a bit too, like what people expect out of a new RPG.
I actually loved Chrono Cross but it didn't live up to expectations back when it came out. I was disappointed with the game at first but grew to love it for what it was. If they released a new game as good as Chrono Cross I would be fully content.
