Chrono Break canned?

Gameforms.com:

"Square Enix has abandoned its registered trademark for Chrono Break in the United States, proves the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

The trademark was dropped on November 13, 2003, meaning that Square Enix no longer intends to use the trademark, which applied to videogames or other electronic software and was assumed to be used for a new game in the Chrono series. The Japanese trademark for "Chrono Brake" remains intact, however.

Speculation was quick to rise amongst fans of the series in late 2001, when news of the trademark's status passed through the industry. A sequel to the previous year's successful Chrono Cross was certainly in line with expectations for another RPG dealing with time travel and forward-thinking practical gameplay.

Reasons as to why the company would drop the Chrono Break trademark in the United States are fuzzy. However, series creator Masato Kato left Square Enix last year, joining Xenosaga developer MonolithSoft in the creation of the GameCube RPG Baten Kaitos."

I got this from another forum. Would Gameforms.com be considered a reliable source?

mebbe they're just renaming it?

Mebbe.

I sincerely hope so.

Considering how much they raped the chrono trigger name with Chrono Cross, I can only hope it is canned.

If I didn't have to set a good example, I'd probably go to town on you right now.

You have shitty taste in videogames.

Oh. come on. Most of the elements that made the original so great was removed in the sequel.

eg.
1. A new screen for battles and the enemies getting into their position, nor do they move in battle.

2. What the heck happened to the time travel elements?

3. Combat skills were changed to pretty much attack one or all. All those different area of effect attack in the original were all lost and a lot of stategy lost.

4. The actually managed to get even less character development than the original which most thought was impossible.

5. One turd of a story. I know the original didn't have much in the way of a story, but atleast it wasn't crap like the one in CC.

I agree that the gameplay wasn't that great (especially coming after Chrono Trigger), but c'mon...
