If you've been paying attention to the industry this last week, you'll have noticed the announcements regarding Xenosaga II and Baten Kaitos from Namco. Now it would seem that Masato Kato, the scenario designer and story planner for Chono Cross and Chrono Trigger respectively, and therefore the actual mastermind behind the story, is doing the scenario for Baten Kaitos, indicating that he presumably wouldn't be involved too closely with any major projects at Square Enix. So much for that one, then?
I would consider this as veeery bad news.Athough there are many writters who can compile something on these two stories, from CT and CC,the original writter knows the best.Masato Kato is known by the story in CC,which won plenty rewards for best story ever.MK is the only one probably who can help the serial of CC continue in its perfection.Not having him in the party is veery bad,I repeat
