Final Fantasy Chronicles is a compilation that includes Final Fantasy IV, and another Square production, Chrono Trigger, released for the Sony PlayStation. Both games were ports of titles originally released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Chrono Trigger uses an "Active Time Battle" system—a recurring element of Square's Final Fantasy game series designed by Hiroyuki Ito for Final Fantasy IV—named "Active Time Battle 2.0".
There's currently no Chrono Trigger 2 release date. Square last released a game in the Chrono series with Chrono Cross in 1999. Despite rumors of a remaster of Chrono Cross, the only thing we've seen out of the series in two decades is a crossover in the mobile game Another Eden.
Chrono Cross is absolutely a sequel to Chrono Trigger, and deals with many of the repercussions of that game - but by the same token, the actual core stories of Cross and Trigger are about as related as your average two Final Fantasy games - more a sharing of themes and ideas than anything else.
Chrono Triggers characters (when drawn) look like Dragon Ball characters, because such was the style. They were roughly made during the same time. Chrono Cross, conversely, was made much later. Where as you'll notice many anime now do not retain the same 'DBZ' style.
According to Weekly Famitsu's recent poll, Chrono Trigger was voted as Best Game of the Heisei period (1989-2019) in Japan.
But Square Enix says it currently has no new plans for Chrono as a franchise. As per Siliconera, the publisher was rather frank in a recent interview, although it doesn't rule the idea out completely: "There are no plans for (a sequel or new title) now, but no one knows what the future holds."

Masato Katou's initial plan was to make Radical Dreamers the sequel to Chrono Trigger. However, it had a very short development schedule and was released unfinished.
It’s been one thousand years since the Kingdom of Guardia was established, and to celebrate the citizens are holding a festival. Though what most people don’t know is that the night before this celebration marks the Millenial fair for the world’s monsters.
Okay so this OVA is really dumb but in a cute, silly way. It's only like 16 minutes long, so I'd say go ahead and watch it if you've got nothing better to do.Story-The story is basically the night before the millenial fair, the monsters come out and have their OWN millenial fair. And two monsters, our protagonists, get into all sorts of trouble.
The series began in 1995 with the time travel role-playing video game Chrono Trigger, which spawned two continuations, Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Hōseki, and Chrono Cross. A promotional anime called Dimensional Adventure Numa Monjar and two ports of Chrono Trigger were also produced.
Chrono Trigger was produced in 1995 by Kazuhiko Aoki and directed by Akihiko Matsui, Yoshinori Kitase and Takashi Tokita. The development of the game was dubbed the "Dream Project", because it was headed by a "Dream Team" composed of supervisor Hironobu Sakaguchi, of Final Fantasy fame, as well as freelance supervisor Yuji Horii and character designer Akira Toriyama, both of Dragon Quest fame. Yuuji Horii worked on the general outline of the story; as a fan of time travel fictions, such as the TV series The Time Tunnel, he focused on a theme of time travel for Chrono Trigger. The outline was then finalized by story planner and script writer Masato Kato.
Chrono Trigger sold more than 2.36 million copies in Japan and 290,000 abroad, reaching two million in sales in only two months. It ended 1995 as the third best-selling game of the year behind Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest in Japan.
The soundtrack for Chrono Cross won the Gold Prize for Sony ' s PlayStation Awards of 2000.
Chrono Cross was also well-received by reviewers; GameSpot awarded the game a perfect 10, one of only seven games in over 40,000 games listed on Gamespot to have been given the score, and its Console Game of the Year Award for 2000. IGN gave the game a score of 9.7, and Cross appeared 89th in its 2008 Top 100 games list.
Chrono Brake and Chrono Break are the names of two trademarks owned by Square Co.; the first applied in Japan on November 5, 2001, and the second registered in the United States on December 5 of the same year. The registrations were preceded by a press report in which Hironobu Sakaguchi mentioned that the Chrono Cross team was interested in developing a new game in the Chrono series, and that script and story ideas were being considered. However, Square did not publish further news, and the American trademark Chrono Break was eventually dropped on November 13, 2003.
Chrono Cross was released on the PlayStation on November 18, 1999 in Japan and on August 15, 2000 in North America. The story is partly a remake of Radical Dreamers, and as such replaces it as Chrono Trigger' s successor. The protagonist Serge, faced with an alternate reality in which he died as a child, struggles to uncover his past and meets Kid, a thief seeking the mysterious Frozen Flame artifact. Serge and Kid's fates are ultimately revealed to find their roots in the events of Chrono Trigger .

It's the all-time favorite RPG of many gaming fans. The storyline, graphics, battle system, animation, soundtrack - everything about the game is excellent. When Chrono Trigger came out, wow, RPG fans felt as if they didn't need anymore RPGs, that Chrono Trigger was it, the RPG to end RPGs.
Because of the success of the Final Fantasy Anthology (the bundle containing Final Fantasy 5 & 6), Squaresoft decided to release Final Fantasy Chronicles in June of 2001. This was a bundle that included re-releases of Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger.
Other noteworthy people involved in the game development were the music composer Yasunori Mitsuda, who composed over 80% of the score, and scenarist Masato Kato, both unknown at that time but later famous for Xenogears and Xenosaga.". Like Earthbound, Chrono Trigger is an RPG without random battles.
Magus is the best. Simply put. With the most powerful spell (Dark Matter), the coolest weapon, Doom Sickle, and the best lines, Magus beats the puss out of the rest of the cast of Chrono Trigger (oh, no, I'm not biased). When equipped with Moon Armor, Doom Sickle, and Prism Helm, Magus is unstoppable.
Type of Magic: Lightning. Crono is the main man of the game. He is also the most well-rounded character, with a good assortment of weapons and techs. Crono is the embodiment of the saying, "Talk softly, but carry a big sword.". Although he rarely speaks, Crono conveys much emotion into the beings he encounters.
Crono's techs and magic are also well rounded. A few attack powers, a few healing powers. And, of course, Crono has his wonderful cat. It actually plays a part in an ending, that is if you don't feed it.
