I wouldnt be surprised if they were making 3 chrono games at once... Wii... PSP... Cellphone... its possible.

What we need is innovation. A new cast. And a story which looks totally unrelated to its predecessor on the surface but which in fact is deeply rooted in the planet/Lavos struggle. TRIGGER 2 NO, CHRONO SEQUEL YES.

Games simply are more expensive to make these days. That's why companies are putting out multi-platform releases (GTA, RE, FF to name a few) more than ever before. It's a business... Also, Yuji Horii has already said that everything he wants to do, he can do in a Dragon Quest game. He's said there's no real need to make a sequel to CT. I disagree completely, but that's Horii.

Square-Enix saw other multi platform games selling, and decided to make one of their most popular games a multi platform release. More money for SE. I hate the term money hat.

Chrono Cross was a good game, but it was missing the fantastic Toriyama art style. I would even be up for a 16-bit sequel on XBLA. :) If they do decide to make a sequel, I hope they make it for 360 and I hope they make it with Akira Toriyama.

I hope they would have Toriyama reprise as the char design if there ever is one like the DQ tradition, Yuki Nobuteru (Cross, Lodoss War, Escaflowne)'s design just gets weirder and weirder as time goes, namely the unnaturally long Pinocchio noses...

I think that a new game would probably be called "Chrono ..." to combine with the rest. I´m still hoping of course that we get a new game...preferably for the Wii or DS...and made by most (if not all) of the original developers. And if it´s for the DS, I would prefer a sprite-based game with similar style to Trigger over a 3D one (not that Square-Enix 3D games on the DS look bad though). Personally, I liked Cross and I think it´s an excellent game in it´s own merits. While I prefer Trigger, I wasn´t dissapointed with it, and I don´t think it´s fair to compare them (specially because of having some different developers). I see it more as a "spiritual successor" than a full sequel, and I wasn´t expecting it to be as good as Trigger. And maybe Trigger shouldn´t even have a complete sequel...just spiritual successors.
