i was just wondering if coldstone is capable of Chrono Trigger style gamplay? (if you dont know what CT is, i am very disappointed...)

Well, two major obstacles arise. The first is that the engine is turn-based. This could be easily overcome to simulate the CT battle engine with some creativity and ingenuity. However, the second is much harder to deal with, depending on which way it sways. There is no word yet on whether or not a party, multiple playable characters, can be used. CT's techs rely on parties completely. I wish I had more info, but, I'm in the same boat as you are.

Copyright issues aside, (as this would be a blatent violation of copyright laws) I wonder if anyone will bother 'porting' some of the old popular square games to coldstone. perhaps making new graphics, perhaps not. not something i feel like doing, but it'd be an interesting project. oh, and you didn't get the idea from me.

That would be extremely difficult, especially with said features now. I doubt anyone would do it, especially with no reward, and, why would you port easily accessible games?

I have to agree with chill on this one, I mean why don't we just come up with something ORIGINAL? of course I wouldn't add the whole snowball thing.. just not my style

I didn't say that I wanted it, was just an idea... Kinda like Nintendo porting those old NES titles like Earthbound Zero to SNES, like a technology preview...

Gosh, if I knew people would get that hot... I woulda suggested a Pokemon ripoff.

backs off Whoa, hold it! All I meant was having the same type of battle-thingys and party switcher. The game I'm planing is completely different from CT, i just was wondering if i could get it in the same style. About porting older games, I disagree too, unless you made them. (like Flare redoing Chronicle of Ekan in Coldstone)
