It truly is a shame the lawyers have interfered with something so promising. The Chrono Trigger Resurrection site also has a trailer showcasing a few scripted scenes: Here are a few samples of what you will now never be able to play: Chrono Trigger Resurrection sports professional quality artwork that has further improved since its last showing. Perhaps it was the quality of the project that triggered this unprecedented response so far into development. It seems after years of looking the other way, Square Enix has changed its policy on independently-created games honoring their own. 3.The small development team behind fan game Chrono Trigger: Resurrection has posted some very disappointing news: they have received a Cease and Desist letter from Square Enix demanding they stop making their game. The pieces are all there for Xenogears, they just need to be put together. Takahashi’s studio, Monolith Soft, is owned by Nintendo, who’s been a vital partner for Square Enix on the HD-2D games. Remaking Xenogears would finally provide the opportunity to see the game play out properly, and breathe new life into the franchise. In 2017, a Kotaku interview with Takahashi confirmed that the development team simply didn’t have time to complete everything, and disc two turned into a montage so Takahashi could still tell the story he wanted. Xenogears is infamous for having a fantastic first disc, but when players moved onto the second disc it felt completely unfinished. A remake of Xenogears also presents an interesting opportunity- a chance to flesh out and finish the game properly. Xenogears is one of the most overlooked JRPGs in Square Enix’s catalog, coming from the mind of Tetsuya Takahashi, the creator of Xenosaga and Xenoblade Chronicles. Xenogears was first released on PlayStation in 1998.
