So why would ZeaLity or the other members lie about something they worked so hard for? Saying they're making things up is an insult to their hard work and determination, mind you. Almost everyone was busy weeks before release. 5 years of hard work could be seen not only in the footage but when my friend was beta-testing it and was busy with pre-release polishing. It was a short gameplay version with little complex ASM modification involved, and it took them a long time.Īlthough I'm not one of the developers of Crimson Echoes, a friend of mine from RL is in fact, and the gameplay and story, as noticed, was astounding. Prophet's Guile was a short spinoff to the story and went widely successful after its release. Sure, he has his cons, but the dude's zealous and passionate towards his goals, and he's one we often admire him for his intellect.īut besides that, Crimson Echoes has been in development for 5 years. However, keep your concerns and hatred towards ZeaLity to yourself. It's not surprising you don't know much about Crimson Echoes thus coming up with assumptions is no big deal for you. I've read quite some posts regarding ZeaLity and C&D here. I may be a little late to reply to this topic, but here goes nothing. Sorry to drag up a thread that hasn't been posted on in a couple of days.
I just had to react to everything I just took in. But I have to admit this thread has made me really think that something fishy's going on.īah, I'm not sure what I was trying to accomplish by posting this here. I want to believe in what the Compendium says happened, maybe because I'm too close to the site. I've only skimmed parts of the letter itself, and I haven't made any personal attempts to investigate the numbers or any of that. If you'd asked me earlier tonight whether I had any doubts as to the veracity of that C&D order, I'd have said, of course not, it seems real to me. Some of whom don't seem to just be seeing speculation and using that as the basis for renewing personal attacks. I recognize that he made a lot of enemies here, but it's for that exact reason that I'm a bit skeptical of some (not all) of these posts.īut on the other hand.there do seem to be quite a few people expressing some doubts here. Either way, I do think it's a bit sweeping to just declare that Zeality faked this whole thing because he's a nutbag. Not saying it couldn't have happened that way, just that I don't think it did. That seems quite out of character for what I know about him. I also believe that Zeality really was not the main force behind this (truthfully, I think that agent12 listed a page back or so was), and therefore even if this whole C&D thing was faked, I'm not sure that it was him doing the faking. I have to say that while I can certainly see that Zeality is fanatical (or "overzealous," if you will.sorry, couldn't resist the pun) when it comes to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, I've never seen anything from him (either in public forums or in personal correspondence between myself and him via AIM, e-mail, etc.) that would suggest he'd do anything like this. And I had no involvement whatsoever in this project, to the point that I just barely knew it was even going on. But I haven't been active there in years, and post there only slightly more than I post here anymore.
I was a regular participant in the Chrono threads here at OCR that led to the creation of the Compendium, I wrote some content for the initial version of the site (including an article on Magus that I think is the only bit of my content that's still up) and I used to have some administrative privileges there. A disclaimer before I say anything else: I used to be very involved at the Chrono Compendium.
I just read this whole thread, and I don't know what to say - or think.
