Obsidian Expresses Interest in Working on Chrono Trigger
Obsidian is teaming up with Square Enix to create Dungeon Siege III, but what if the studio behind Fallout New Vegas had a chance to work on one of Square Enix's classic properties?
Obsidian 是為SE社開發<末日危城3>的開發小組，不過假如給一個曾經開發過<異塵餘生：拉斯維加斯>的小組去開發SE經典遊戲的機會會怎麼樣呢？
Siliconera posited that scenario to Obsidian CEO Feargus Uquhart, who joked that he would love to work on Chocobo Racing.
Siliconera(網站名)把這個想法提供給了Obsidian的CEO Feargus Uquhar 知道，不過他只笑說「那我想選陸行鳥大賽車」。
But thinking about it more seriously, he said, "If I could come across everything that I played I would have to go with Chrono Trigger. I think Chrono Trigger was one I really enjoyed."
不過再好好想想之後，他說，「假如我能回去與我之前玩過的遊戲相遇，那我會選擇CT。我想CT是我唯一喜歡的。」
Urquhart and lead designer Nathan Chapman went on to note some of the key similarities between Chrono Trigger and traditional western RPGs, such as its open-ended design.
"There are lots of differences, like you can beat Lavos at different parts of the game and you get different endings based on that. There are obvious answers like dialogue trees and all of that good stuff. The seeds are there for that kind of development," Chapman said.
The pair are also interested in the setting, which Urquhart descibed as a "is a weird mix of fantasy and sci-fi mashed together."
CEO Urquhart 和首席設計師 Nathan Chapman 寫下了CT和傳統西方RPG的許多重要共通點，例如像是開放式結局設計。
「你可以做許多選擇，譬如說你可以在各時期打敗拉沃斯並因此得到不同的結局。」
「或是每個對話選項都有個明確的回答諸如此類的優點。這些都啟發了後來的遊戲開發者。」
An Obsidian-developed Chrono Trigger remains purely wishful thinking on their part, but Square Enix has recently been farming out well-known properties to western developers. One example is Front Mission Evolved, which is an action-oriented take on the classic strategy franchise developed by Double Helix.
讓obsidian來開發CT目前還只是個想法而已，不過之前SE也有過讓國外小組來開發經典遊戲的經驗，其中的例子便是<雷霆任務：進化>，就是由Double Helix這個小組來進行的。
Don't expect Obsidian to take on Chrono Trigger anytime soon, but with Square Enix continuing to experiment and expand its brand, anything is possible.
期待越高，失望越大，不過假如SE社繼續實驗並擴展它的品牌，任何事都是有可能的。
