Signs of Life
Hopes for a sequel were raised when Masato Kato returned to Square Enix to work on games of the World of Mana project. In an interview at a PLAY! concert in May 2006, Yasunori Mitsuda stated an interest in composing for a new game in the series. These hopes were padded by the good working relationship between Kato and Mitsuda, as the two collaborated to release kiЯitɘ, an album complemented by a storybook. In September 2005, Kato and Mitsuda again teamed up to do a game called Deep Labyrinth for the Nintendo DS. Mitsuda also announced in 2005 that a new Chrono Cross arranged album was in the works; as of May 2006, it was tentatively "out within the year", and as of June 2008 it still has not been released. These factors, combined with Square Enix porting Chrono Trigger to the Nintendo DS in 2008, suggested that interest in the Chrono series has not completely dwindled at the company and that a new iteration may eventually be made, though no news or even rumors of such exist as of the beginning of 2012. Fans continue to write letters and e-mails to both Square Enix USA and Japan headquarters requesting Chrono Break. The February 2008 issue of Game Informer ranked the Chrono series eighth among the "Top Ten Sequels in Demand", naming the games "steadfast legacies in the Square Enix catalogue" and asking "what's the damn holdup?!". In Electronic Gaming Monthly′s June 2008 "Retro Issue", writer Jeremy Parish cited Chrono as the franchise video game fans would be most thrilled to see a sequel to. In the first May Famitsu of 2009, Chrono Trigger placed 14th out of 50 in a vote of most-wanted sequels by the magazine's readers. At E3 2009, SE Senior Vice President Shinji Hashimoto remarked "If people want a sequel, they should buy more!"

Famous quotes containing the words signs of life, signs of, signs and/or life:
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
“If family communication is good, parents can pick up the signs of stress in children and talk about it before it results in some crisis. If family communication is bad, not only will parents be insensitive to potential crises, but the poor communication will contribute to problems in the family.”
—Donald C. Medeiros (20th century)
“Cows wandered through the streets.... Vegetables grew chiefly in cans, and stream-beds and cañons glittered with these omnipresent signs of civilization.”
—Administration in the State of Colo, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“What if there are not only two nostrils, two eyes, two lobes, and so forth, but two psyches as well, and they are separately equipped? They go through life like Siamese twins inside one person.... They can be just a little different, like identical twins, or they can be vastly different, like good and evil.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
