well, that's some of weirdest crap I've heard all week, though considering T3B is doing its best to BUTCHER the canon of both the previous two games and the novel they were sequels to, maybe I shouldn't be surprised. They also seem toe be forgetting that Front Mission Evolved was a huge flop as was NIER. As for Chrono and Mana, LEAVE THEM BE. They at least have some dignity left. Unless you got Kato and Tokita to do another Chrono game, but they've refused to do another one unless they got all the old team bac

Flopping doesnt mean its a bad game. T3B being a reboot doesnt bother one bit.

Agree on some level with Aiddon, dont touch Chrono, Mana, Tactics or Vagrant Story, those games should remain as timeless classics, unless of course Sakaguchi decides to involve it himself. he was involved in some extent to some of those games and imo towards their success.

but T3B might turn out to be quite good, and Nier wasnt was bad game, they should focus on making successes of current games or new IPs, imo the new SE with Wada cant be trusted to honor the quality of the originals.

Chrono would be fine if they could get all the old crew back, but that's not going to happen (even if Kato is an INCREDIBLY talented story writer). Mana MIGHT need some work since Dawn of Mana was HORRENDOUS. Tactics and VS would be fine since most of their old team is still around (and Matsuno is back) even if VS has a problem of probably needing to make a story without Ashley (though Ashley's development was DONE at the end of VS, so maybe they shouldn't worry about that).

As for NIER, it wasn't a BAD game but it had a near-universal "meh" associated with it critically and was quickly forgotten. T3B on the other hand also has the stupid idea that somehow ignoring the ENTIRE PREMISE of its predecessors is somehow a good thing (especially considering the premise was NOT made by Square). Plus from what I've seen and read in previews it doesn't even seem like the gameplay is going to redeem it (note to Square: YOU SUCK AT SHOOTERS)

Yeah, Matsuno is back, but we just dont know if hes going to be heading up any projects. hopefully he will be with his old team. i doubt Chrono would happen, but imo, they shouldnt do it unless they can get the 'Dream Team' back to do it. i think that games like VS should remain timeless classics, while it would be nice to have a sequels/ reboots, it also nice those talented developers do something different.

having playe Nier, i agree it was medoicure, still havent finished it. well i think Kitase and Toriyama are heavily involved in T3B, so i have no idea if their addition will help the project. its a shooter on the PSP, which is the wrong platform anyway, not to mention the controls cant be as good as console based shooters, so already at a disadvantage imo. and so far all i've heard is about Aya clothes coming off..... i doubt PE was about that before.... though i'm not dismissing it.
