Crono Trigger Ds...Follow

Is out now and they added a pokemon like feature to the game. At the "End of Time" is a new arena which you can use to raise a monster to challenge NPCs and other players. To raise the monster you can either feed it items or send it to different time periods to change its stats or elemental type. Otherwise it's pretty much the same game as the PS1 version.

ive noticed a few things, such as the term fiendlord being used when you first go back in time, i dont remember that (though i could be wrong) also frog doesnt have that horrible out of place way of talking anymore.

Chrono Trigger is one of the best games that exists.

woah it came out for DS? The original? Or a port?

Gonna go research this, then stick it on my MUST HAVE list for Christmas!!! I'm just about halfway through FF3 (US) for the DS right now, and Secret of Mana for the virtual console I'm about 3 hours in. This would make a fantastic addition to my retro collection of awesomeness!

Heh, I'm almost done with FFIII (GBA) right now, then I have this game and FFIV to play, as well as Okami for the Wii which I never played (or the PS2 version), and several others...

If it's the first Trauma Center you're gonna hate the grid and final form GUILT.

Oh um something about chrono trigger

Well I will say that I doubt that the retranslation will be as bad as the ffvi gba version. Locke doesn't even threaten to rip your lungs out in it (among some other things) :(

In addition to CT being my second favorite game ever made, it has one of the best soundtracks of any game I've ever played; I cried the first time I heard To Far Away Times... although I was like 8 at the time.

That's exactly what it was, not to mention that you have a TOWN of "fiends" in the present. What the hell right?

Chrono Trigger has never been about good versus evil; it's about the power of the will, cause and effect, unforeseen consequences and taking responsibility for the consequences of your actions. More broadly construed we can examine chrono trigger as a commentary on what it means to be a human existent.

Not even lavos is an evil creature. He's identical to what jenova was in final fantasy vii without all the whiny emo sephiroth sh*t. He's a space-fairing creature that is doing the same thing that everyone else is: propagating it's genes. Not even that power hungry freak Dalton could be called evil, so he thought he wanted to rule some crappy little ice age town? So what he's just a douchebag. The only truly evil character in the entire damn game is queen zeal.

Another thing

"Magus" has perfectly legitimate reasons for doing nearly everything that he does.

Excellent game for people who have not played it. However I remember playing it 2 times in the past on 2 different game system. I'm not buying it again unless they do some sort of major remake and honestly this game doesn't need that anyways.

its not local wireless only, you can fight agaisnt npc monsters, alo so far the one new dungeon is pretty interesting.

My biggest issue is the fact that everything is so damn tiny. I know that's partially because the DS's screen is only so big, but at least games designed for portable systems are designed around that fact. As a direct port from a console game everything is eye strainingly small on the DS's screen.

Not that there was every any connection between the two games other than a few vague, unimportant references.

Magus didn't actually lose his memory from my recollection; guile isn't magus. He was just supposed to be magus and was edited out at the last second; it was half assed.



They aren't.

The time devourer was what happened to schala when she fell into the mammon machine and combined with it; then balthasar tricked the planet into timeshifting the peninsula back about a thousand years (along with the researchers) which he did in order to manipulate the events of the game, because balthasar had knowledge of the devourer for some reason. Fate was just looking after the descendants of the researchers via computer stations that were spread across the area so that none of them would regain thier memories. Now... if i recall correctly, there were supposed to be several timeshifts in the game. The first was that by having fate timeshift the peninsula back in time, it would provoke the planet into timeshifting a bunch of reptiles forward in time in order to exterminate them; that's where the dragon fortress comes from.

Memory's getting a bit fuzzy at this point. Point is that the story is ******* convoluted and has nothing at all to do with trigger.



A clone of schala, not the real one.

Oh

iirc the dragons were not trying to make you kill fate in order to rule humanity, it was something to do with humans being a blight on the world and needing to be expunged.

The core of the matter though is that balthasar somehow magically predicts every event in the game and manipulated EVERYTHING that happened just so you could stop schala from eating time. Even fate was tricked.
