I heard the news a few weeks ago, but it's been only recently that Square-Enix has really annoyed me about this after actually seeing the in game footage of the snes fan game Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes.

Damn it, this fan sequel of Chrono Trigger was a hell of a lot better than both Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross which sucked a$$ in comparison to Chrono Trigger. Seriously, I love CT, but hate RD and CC... I was honestly looking forward to playing Crimson Echoes as it was an actual good sequel to Chrono Trigger (well I would have done some things differently, but overall, it was nice). Damn Square-Enix... Now all traces of this game are destroyed...
I still don't get why Square-Enix did this...? The people working on this project put a lot of effort into this game and they always encouraged people to buy CT related products from Square-Enix such as CT for the DS. These sad people must realize that they are nothing without the fans that support them and by doing this, they're only hurting themselves. I personally would have been very honored if a group of people would have made a great sequel to one of my games and advertised my company. Square-Enix should have supported or just left them alone. That would have shown that they care about their fans, which they apparently don't...
Anyways, not to make a big deal of this, I just wanted to show these videos to the CT fans here who might have not known about Crimson Echoes. All we can do now is keep track of the youtube videos and watch. For those interested in reading more about this ceased project, read here: http://www.chronocompendium.com/
This hasen't been the start of a good month... Hopefully it will get better.
Note: I like the fact that the people working on this projected actually listened to their fans and chose to not kill off characters.
