Well honestly, they could have come up with their own characters. They still can. Not ALL of their work is lost, just the stuff violating copyrights. And Square-Enix is still selling Chrono Trigger, in one of their PS1 collections, at least I think you can still order it directly from them anyway. Honestly, I really couldn't justify downloading that remake if I didn't already own the original.
I'm still waiting for Chrono Break...
Ya know, at this rate I wonder how long it'll be before Sierra shuts down <a href="http://www.agdinteractive.com/">these people</a> for their remakes of KQ1, KQ2 and their upcoming Quest for Glory 2 remake. Poor fellows... Honestly, they do good work (their KQ2 really did remake the whole game), but they ARE violating copyright. I went and got the games myself (I don't think there's any legal issues with just owning stuff that breaks copyrights :D, plus I already own the originals), as you might imagine...
BUT, on the other hand, if the company gives them permission, THEN it's fine. Sierra never gave the people above permission, but, on a note that could force Sierra TO allow these remakes, the actual original makers of these games have said "it's fine by us, just watch out for Sierra, it's a totally different company than when we worked there", or something similar to that.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
