Chrono Trigger (DS)[views:10987][posts:96]______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:09pm - the_reverend ""] http://www.gamespot.com/ds/rpg/chronotriggerds/index.html?tag=topten;all;2 since I have a $69 brand new nintendo DS lite coming and chrono trigger is finally coming out, I'm going to finally know why you all think this game is the shit bomb. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:12pm - darkwor ""] YES. my advice if you're gonna play it on DS, use headphones, you can't miss out on the music. http://chrono.ocremix.org/ |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:13pm - the_reverend ""] the music in the trailer is terrible. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:16pm - darkwor ""] hahah well that's the main theme. i guess you'd better learn to like it. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:17pm - Martins ""] You're stupid. The music is awesome. The game is awesome. The music is better in Chrono Trigger though. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:20pm - aril ""] Don't trust remakes. Get the original for SNES. /thread |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:22pm - darkwor ""] but you get 2 screens! ...no? |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:28pm - aril ""] Lucca would agree with me. Hell, Magus should torture everyone who buys the DS version of this game. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:32pm - the_reverend ""] oh yeah, let me go buy a super nintendo to play one game. FIAL |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:33pm - aril ""] trust me, it's worth it. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:39pm - darkwor ""] modded original xbox + http://xbmc.org/ = super-ultra streaming hi-def media center AND emulator of every game for every console made up to and including nintendo 64. i have so many games to play, that i just don't play any of them. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 15,2008 1:42pm - aril ""] If I had the money and time, I'd totally start collecting old school games again and stuff. I can't even tell you how much I miss the Nintendo / Sega war of the early to mid 90s. NOTHING in today's video game market compares to the competition of old. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 3:39pm - aril ""] rev, do you enjoy RPGs? I've tried getting a few people that had no idea what an RPG was into ChronoTrigger before, and failed. I actually think CT starts out a little slow - it doesn't really get too interesting until you go into the future IMO. Damn, I fucking love this game. Haven't played it in a while but I love the dreary atmosphere when you're in the future. It also gets pretty sweet when you go to Zeal Palace, thousands of years in the past. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 3:50pm - the_reverend ""] I loved FF3, dragon quest I&II, and many others. though i also like zeldas and secret of mana's. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 3:58pm - aril ""] well, if you like SoM, then you'll probably like CT. character design is very similar. the battle system is somewhat similar to that of a FF, but it relies heavily on combos between the characters. also, keep in mind that there are numerous endings to the game, depending on certain choices you make in the game. (12 endings if I remember correctly.) Everyone always talks about ChronoCross and how great it is and all that crap. I think it was one of the worst sequels EVER and doesn't compare to CT. It's a good game, but weak sequel. |

| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:21pm - aril ""] haha, we've discussed this before. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 16,2008 4:43pm - aril ""] I enjoyed ChronoCross, but I felt very disappointed after beating it. Things I don't like about ChronoCross: a)it barely relates to CT's story b)it's nowhere as dismal as CT c)way too many characters for the game d)music wasn't as good as CT e)wasn't a real big fan of the world and environments f)battles weren't that entertaining g)didn't like the dialect of some of the characters h)story did not engross me at all. was too predictable i) + other's I can't think of at the moment. That being said, I wouldn't mind playing it again.. but it just doesn't feel like CT. Indeed, it's a completely different game, but it just was boring compared to the original. I preordered it and got it the day it came out, so I guess you could say I had been anticipating it since beating CT back in '95. (or was it '96? can't even remember) Xenogears on the other hand... now that's a great game.. regardless of if they ran out of funding and had to rush the last CD of the game. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 10:38pm - Niccolai is wicked pissed ""] Chrono trigger might be one of those games you haveto get into in it's golden age. I know alot of people who played it for their first time more recently and didn't appreciate it, unfortunately. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 11:39pm - xanonymousx ""] DS Lite? that sucks. Get the regular DS so you can play GBA games. Chrono Trigger is epic. i saw ChronoCross in WalMart a few years back for $10 I should have bought it then. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 11:42pm - the_reverend ""] um... xax smokes way too much. DS lite plays GBA games. Regular DS plays GBA games DSi doesn't play GBA games. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 16,2008 11:46pm - xanonymousx ""] what can i say its college man..... oh ya i have a ds lite, or my brother does. |

I love Chrono Trigger and I see what you mean about Chrono Cross being a bad sequel but I think that's because it's not a direct sequel to CT. It's just an alternate timeline created when the dudes from CT saved the world. I really don't think you can justify saying the plot didn't engross you only because I've done the research and the plot and backstory has enough material to fill a 7 book sci-fi series. Ridiculous things about timelines and dimensions and why everything ended up the way it did in the two chrono cross worlds with different connections to what happened in Chrono Trigger. For example, Fate was made from Robo. etc etc There are a LOT subtle connections to CT and a few LARGE ones. I'm replaying it right now. I say you give it a try too. Then we'll be best friends forever. |

| ________________________________ [Oct 17,2008 11:43am - aril ""] It does have some relations to CT, but mostly indirect ones. I really wish it was more along the lines of the first one. You really liked the dimensional stuff? I thought it was kind of cliche. But yea, I'd be down to play it again. I also want to play Xenogears, Wild Arms, Lufia II, FF9, FF3, and Shining Force again, though. I guess I could start with the games I didn't enjoy as much: Chrono Cross and FF9. Eh, scratch it, I'll try to play CC again and restart Vagrant story. If, by chance, you have a DS or GBA, play Fire Emblem (both of them) |

| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2008 11:46am - Martins ""] Fire Emblem is one of those strategy rpg's right? I could never get into those. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 25,2008 8:30pm - the_reverend ""] it came out today. I bought it. stopping FFIV for a big to play it. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 4,2008 11:08pm - the_reverend ""] big=bit. I still haven't gotten into this game. I don't get the rules yet. have fought one battle and couldn't heal. then the girl I was with got sucked off to parts unknown. I just followed her. |

| ______________________________ [Dec 7,2008 7:27pm - Pires ""] if you ever had the sneaking suspicion that Robo's theme in Chrono Trigger sounded a lot like Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, you're definitely not the only one. Earlier this year, Youtube user ImTakiNuSRS created this mashup of the two, and the results were pretty surprising.Pretty close, eh? Well anyway, the dudes over at Original Sound Version were so intrigued by this that they sought out Chrono Trigger composer Yasunori Mitsuda to ask if he'd been inspired by the Rick Astley song. Here's what they found out yesterday: OSV: Mitsuda-san, please bear with me, as this is hard to explain even in English! There has been an Internet phenomenon in the United States called a "Rick Roll" where people send the following video to one another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 This is a big Internet prank or joke, and some game music fans have noticed how the background melody sounds similar to "Robo's Theme" from Chrono Trigger, calling "Robo's Theme" the first "Rick Roll." It's this big Internet joke. I was hoping you could comment about this, and about Rick Astley's song? Do you think the video is funny? Mitsuda: It certainly is the first time I've seen this. I'm surprised! That's the first time I've heard of Rick Astley, and it's interesting that such a phenomenon is happening in a different country. Thank you for your time! So that's that. Apparently not. And he probably thinks we're crazy. Still, great to know you now have lyrics to sing along with Robo's theme when you play through Chrono Trigger again on DS. bennyhillifier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ20N6syuwc |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 8,2008 9:42am - arilliusbm ""] Yasunori Mitsuda is one of my favorite Japanese game composers, hands down. Not too sure, but I feel insulted that someone would try to make that connection. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 8,2008 11:26am - Martins ""] Agreed. I mean, Nobuo > Yasunori but Yasunori is still AMAZING. Never gonna give them up. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 8,2008 1:06pm - arilliusbm ""] Hitoshi Sakimoto is great too. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 8:53pm - Martins ""] I'm playing this on the DS now. I'm at the part where you just got Frog. Man I love this game. I stopped playing FFIV for this. FFIV was starting to seem kind of tedious but I'll go back to it eventually. I got to the Dark Elf in the magnetic cave. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:00pm - the_reverend ""] same boat, but i csnt get into ct.. where the hell is my ds any how... |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:04pm - ZenErik ""] Currently playing FFVIII on my PS3, lolz. I started Chrono Trigger on the DS a few months ago. I just hardly ever turn that thing on. About 15 hours in, I believe. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:27pm - ArilliusBM ""] just played LufiaII when you're ready. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:30pm - Martins ""] The Lufia games ruled. I was really surprised by how good they were. Do you mean FFVII? Or are you playing an original disc of FFVIII? I want to replay that game so bad and I want to play FFIX. Whatever. Regardless of what Aril will say, FFXIII looks pretty as hell. We'll see if the story holds up. Even if it doesn't, it's eye candy. |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:31pm - ArilliusBM ""] ... |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:32pm - Martins ""] Whatever. GENERATION Y, man! |

We'll see if the story holds up. Even if it doesn't, it's eye candy. I have high hopes for FFXIII. X and XII were kind of disappointing to me even though I beat them. I have VIII and IX. And Tactics. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:37pm - Martins ""] @ Aril: We should just agree that we like video games and hate each other. |
| _________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 9:40pm - Martins ""] You didn't like X? I LOOOOVED it. I've played it like 4 times through. It was one of the first RPGs that I really fell in love with, FFVII and CT being some of the others. XII was a let down overall, though. It was too MMO-y and the story wasn't very enthralling. It had it's moments but it was too easy if you didn't get really into it and its sidequests/extra bosses. I had a friend that spent something like 10 or 20 hours on ONE quest for the ultimate weapon that you can easily beat the game without anyway. XIII looks like it throws a lot of conventions out the window though, so we'll see. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 10:15pm - the_reverend ""] X was gay as shit. vii was the last on i could stomach |
| __________________________________ [Sep 10,2009 10:17pm - Martins ""] Ya well... |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 11,2009 8:41am - arktouros ""] XIII looks great, I can't wait to pick that up...but man nothing beats Chrono Trigger, every aspect of that game makes it my favorite RPG. I like a lot of the FF games, but today there aren't a lot of RPGs that hold my attention, I like the D&D based PC ones though, like Baldur's Gate. |
