Chrono Bind Is DLC For Final Fantasy XIII, Not A New Chrono Game

Posted on Monday, February 27 @ 08:49:10 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack

I haven't been more excited than when I saw that Square Enix had registered domains for both chronobind.com and chronobind.net. I could have sworn that the master of RPGs had finally woken up from its slumber. Boy was I wrong.

As it turns out, Chrono Bind will be the name of just one of two new card games being added to the beloved Final Fantasy XIII-2, the other being Serendipity Poker. The DLC pack is being released in tomorrow's PlayStation Store update along with some other goodies.

While mini-games are always a nice addition to an RPG, it doesn't come close to being as exciting as a new Chrono game. Now that we're all disappointed we can go back to wishing that Square Enix would make something like they used to. Something with a great story would be a great start, but maybe we're asking for too much. Okay, back to beautiful graphics then.

    They clearly don't want it. They are next-gen trolls.

    That's depressing. Chrono Trigger is truly a great game. My wife reminded me why I married her and got it for me on the DS for Christmas a few years ago. It was the only game I played until I got every ending. How many other games can you say stand the test of time that well?

    can i please get an answer to this? why doesn't anyone like FFXIII's story? i thought it was brilliant and the character development was phenomenal. watching the opening video showing the characters really made me want to keep playing, i watched it every time i started the game up

    Final Fantasy XIII's wasn't that bad, but Final Fantasy XIII-2's was pretty darn bad if you ask me.

    To answer your question: we just do.

    Perhaps the desire to add a properly great (BOOOO Chrono Cross!) addition to the series is no longer present at SE. Perhaps they are fearful that they would not be able to equal the greatness they achieved in the initial title.

    But more than likely, it is some pencil pusher sitting at company HQ saying "Another Chrono game? Nobody would buy that." Someone fire that guy, NOW!

    Chrono Cross is great, it's just not the game anyone was expecting to follow up Chrono Trigger. And since it didn't grab you and shake you up front with awesomeness (though the opening FMV is still among my favorites of all time), it required more of an investment from the player before it really took off. It also took a few hours of reflection to really sort out the story and how it related to CT, which isn't everyone's cup of tea.

    I still maintain that once you DO sort it out and view both games' stories together as two strikingly different parts of one whole, that the resulting "meta-story", if you will, is the best in all of gaming.

    That is EXACTLY how I feel about that game. It blew my eff-ing mind, then used the remains to make a smoothie and made me drink it.

    What the hell is that? Who forms coherent arguments on the internet!?

    No, I can be accused of not giving Cross a fair shake. None the less, I'd still like to see a new addition to the series, and one far better than not only Cross which I didn't like, but Trigger which I loved.
