Yes, but unfortunately Squaresoft and now SquareEnix seem to have no desire to capitalize on that popularity. Unforuntaley, there is only one other entry in the series. Therefore, it's not one of their best selling or most important franchises and still doesn't fit Claude's accurate definition of a "pillar" franchise.
It's amazing how much fan support there is for Chrono Trigger. Here's a list of a crazy number of fan projects related to the game: http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Fan_Projects.html
It simply boggles my mind that SquareEnix does not attempt to capitalize on that fan base. Especially after they shut down at least one fan remake of the game in 3D years ago.
