SE has been neglecting the Chrono series for years, and while we may never get another Chrono game again, I think it would be a wonderful nostalgic throwback if we could perhaps have a Chrono Trigger crossover event! I just wanted to share my concept, and perhaps one day my dreams will become a reality. DISCLAIMER EDIT: Yes, I know it will probably never happen. But this is in the same vein as imagining an anime characters moveset in Smash Bros, or a crossover between two unrelated properties. It’s simply a fun thing to think about! Consider this post a fans pipe dream.
The in-game quests could be about the Crono and the gang winding up in the world of FFXIV due to an accident when traveling through one of their now-vanished Time Gates. Instead of going through time, they come to this universe! Lucca could be there analyzing the ether in the air before noticing that there’s a disturbance- something bad followed them as well, and is causing a ruckus.
What else could that ruckus be but an 8 player trial? Imagine a Magus boss fight, where each player is given 4 different consumables that correspond to the 4 elements of the game (light, dark, water/ice, fire) and you can only damage him if you switch to the same element he’s using! He could have scythe throws, soul geysers, and even maybe a life syphon attack.
Alternatively, a Lavos boss fight! It goes through all of Lavos’ phases, and you can team up with an NPC group of Crono (like in the Noctus-Garuda fight), and two of Cronos friends, since Crono isn’t exactly chatty like Noctis was. You might even be able to perform a triple tech with them!
Perhaps Cid and Lucca can team up to recreate the Epoch, so they can travel back home- which would also be the mount we obtain! Complete with the Epoch theme that plays in the original game, too. We could also get minions, perhaps ones of Robo, or Ayla, or Frog. And a Crono hairstyle! And weapons! Frogs Masamune for Paladins or Dark Knights, Crono’s Rainbow for Samurais, Marle’s bow for Bards, Lucca’s Wondershot for Machinists, Ayla’s fists for Monk (maybe they’re wrapped in Ayla’s fur-cloth), Magus’ Scythe for... Dragoons? And something Robo-related for another class, but that’s escaping me at the moment. We can have weapons for the other classes themed after abilities or even enemies! A Black Mage staff themed after Antipode bomb or Black Hole- or maybe even weapons themed after Chrono Cross!
And finally... music. I want ALL OF IT! ORCHESTRATION ROLLS FOR DAYS!
Or, you know, they could just make a new Chrono game. I just want Square to stop neglecting my favorite game of all time! #SaveCT
