Square-Enix cancels fangame 98% complete.

Square-Enix sent a cease and desist letter to the creators of a fan sequel to Chrono Trigger, an extensive RPG that was 98% complete.

I just find it funny Square-Enix does this to a fangame created from scratch, but Nintendo does nothing about MOTHER 3 being translated by hacking code.

Aw, poor Square-Enix. Too mad that your port of a 13 year old game at the price of a new one has gotten pirated so much? I can't imagine why....  ::)

And yet the game will be online once it's done anyway, so there isn't much Square can actually do XD

The team that created it is deleting all of their work, otherwise they would get a $150,000 fine.

Someone's backing it up, I gurantee it. X_X;;
I would never let that much work to go waste...

How does Square know that they are deleting it all or any for that matter?

Kind of reminds me of Chrono Resurrection...

If they see it on the Internet, they fine the guy who made it.

I was going to post this, too. >:(
Kind of a mean move by Square Enix. If you're going to stop someone from making a fangame of a franchise you own, at least do it sooner. Don't make them stop right when they're almost done. :\

They didn't make just FF, they've made many other great games.

Although Square-Enix did make TWEWY

[Tsumaru]

That was a pretty dick move.

[noodle976]

they should just change the names and sprites of anything that looks or sounds similar and release it >:o

Criminal charges can be pressed.
