Though the project was cancelled under fear of litigation, the incident led to massive [[Internet Backdraft]] in three forms, one consisting of fans of both the series and the project railing on [[Square Enix]] for shutting down the project, another consisting of skeptical fans thinking the whole thing is/was a publicity stunt for attention (in particular, noting inconsistencies with ''actual'' C&Ds sent by Squeenix and the plethora of non-C&D'd projects based on Squeenix properties), and a third consisting of copyright-anal fans and legal brains railing against the modders for using [[Square Enix]]'s stuff in the project. It generated significant coverage in high-profile gaming blogs that led to the mod getting notice from Slashdot and Google News, though notably none of these sites ''ever'' reported confirming the legitimacy of the C&D or even getting word on the subject from Square.
Eventually, a months-old and seriously-buggy alpha was leaked in late May and spread virally online and in file-sharing, and then a comprehensive playthrough video of the entire 98% complete beta version of the game was uploaded [http://www.youtube.com/user/CEMemorial in many 10-minute segments] on [[YouTube]]. A copy of the 95% '''beta''' version (as confirmed by ''Flames Of Eternity'' developer "Giro") [https://web.archive.org/web/20150131112645/http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/18/fan-made-chrono-trigger-sequel-finds-release/ was leaked to filesharing sites] and Reddit on January 17, 2011.
Recently, a different team has started an alternate project consisting in modifying ''Crimson Echoes'', with a different story and events. The project is named ''[http://metronomeproject.blogspot.com/ Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity]'' and has the tagline "''The Rage of the Ages burns for Eternity...''"
