Don't get excited for Chao in Sonic Chronicles.

Just look at the only Sonic Chronicles video currently available for the chao garden... chao summaries don't show Stamina, Power, Run, Fly, or Swim, nor does the gameplay seem to even remotely be similar to SA/2. In any text mentions of Sonic Chronicles Chao, I see it stated that the chao are collected and stored in the chao garden... meaning that the chao garden might as well be an equipment inventory.

The BEST hope you can give it now is that they just happened to omit the page of their profile of those stats in the video and that the gameplay will be similar to the Tiny Chao Garden in Sonic Advance, but I strongly doubt that.

I wonder if Cream will use the Chao system in an unusual way.

That's a shame, I was looking forward to the chao garden in this game. Oh well, as long as the rest of it is a competant RPG I'll be happy with it...
from the isometric viewpoint it almost looks like Sonic 3D Blast XD

Or perhaps the game is still in development and things change in the process.

Saying they already made a trailer video or whatever of the chao garden in it and the game is only... a month and a half away from launch, I really doubt they'd make such a huge change to the garden.

Thanks for crushing my hopes and dreams :(
Though I shall still get it and hope for the best.

i already knew it wasnt going to be a new full Chao garden (it was pretty obvious) but I wont be surprised if the Unleashed one has it. It's got a hub world, and it goes under the Sonic Adventure name in Japan, but skill raising may be different

[HTA!]

I never touched Chao Garden in SAB2

I don't think I used it much in SADX Director's Cut.
