RPGSite is reporting that another Chrono Trigger will not soon be coming thanks to lack of sales (or at least that is what the claims from Square Enix's Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto).

Square Enix Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto revealed that the company wasn't very impressed by the sales of cult RPG classic Chrono Trigger during an E3 interview regarding Front Mission Evolved, a reinvention of the Front Mission franchise.

When asked by RPGSite staff if he could forsee Square handing off other much-loved but neglected franchises to external developers as with Front Mission, he asked what franchsie we had in mind.

Our response? Of course, Chrono Trigger.

"Why does everyone ask about Chrono Trigger?" he laughed. We told him it's a very loved series. "That's not what the sales tell me!" he responded.

"If people want a sequel, they should buy more!"

    What? I'm fairly certain Secret of Mana has sold less than Chrono Trigger, but they ended up whoring out the franchise. Oh wait, in that case maybe it's better that CT didn't sell out.

    The better response is not to be an ass by shutting down a fan project 2 weeks before release that you apparently had a "problem" with.
