San-J (ModDB): Has Square Enix contacted you in any way over the course of your development of Return to Mana?
If so, was it supportive, or did they suggest that this may be a copyright infringement?
If not, do you hope or expect to be contacted by them in the future?
Dieblein (RTM): We tried to contact them and recieved a letter that stated the general copyright laws.
This is what changed our attitude to the definition of our project I before mentioned in the above answer.

San-J (ModDB): What do you think about Square Enix's policy towards community-driven projects based on or inspired by their games?
What do you think about their shutting down of the "Chrono Trigger Resurrection" project?
Did this surprising action on their part change your attitude towards them as a company, or your enjoyment of their games?
Outlive (RTM): Not at all - I really support the action on the chrono resurrection team.. this may sound a little harsh, but you have to know the details.
Their attempt was a partial remake of the original chrono trigger game on their own developed engine and intended using it as business demo.
It was never meant to be a free game for fans, but to get money out of it and that's just plain wrong if you use someones work for your own profit.
CPacaud (RTM): As far as I know, they're only protecting their copyrights.
This project, as good the intentions as they probably were, was dangerously close to being a 3d clone of the actual game.
Dieblein (RTM): I fully understand the policy of game firms like Square Enic to protect their intellectual property.
They need to make sure that none attempts to hurt the reputation of any of their brands.
