Chrono Trigger

[Darkmatter]

Argubly the greatest RPG for The SNES, atleast to most people, Chrono Trigger has made its way to almost every RPG person on the planet, or should have. The game was and still is one of my favorite RPG's. My username originated from a magical spell that was used by my favorite character in the game, Magus. I liked Magus mainly because he was a ''Dark'' magic caster. It make him look badass, as well as posess the best offrensive (In my opinion) magic in the game, as well as Ice, Lightning, and Fire 2 to boot right when you get him. As far as physically, he is decent. He can do pretty good damage with his scythes, and his defence is alright for a caster, so he can hold his own. magically he usually reaches double star status before anyone else, and his speed is great too. What's your favorite character? Area? Monster? anything about Chrono Trigger, discuss it here.

Area: Magus Castle. The music there, which is titled ''Confusing Melody'' can creep me out to this day, as it's morbid sounds and cries of anguish echo through your ears as you try to find Magus himself.

Monster: Definately the Scouter. Ir's the lightning version of the cyclops monster in the Undersea Palace. And it has a fire and ice counterpart too, making that area a real bitch to contend with.

Music: Undersea Palace. It's a mix of a desperation-like them with a little of a crusade/attack theme, and it sounds oddly symbolic too. It just sounds cool.

I loved this game, along with FF6 it comprised my best memories of what I loved about RPG's for the SNES back when I was a kid. Too bad it's like 80 bucks now for the cartridge, or I would go buy it instead of using my emulator to play it.

I downloaded chrono trigger, and got it on my psx game. I like the snes, but it was easier to unpack my playstation than my snes at the time.

alright game. One of the better RPGs made. Not as crap and gay like almost every RPG is.

Froggie's my favorite character. I don't like the ending where he turns human. I like him as a frog.

 

[Darkmatter]

Glenn rocks as a human though, he looks a lot more kickass as a human in my opinion.

CT was an awesome game. I have the SNES and PSX version, and I'm hopping for a handheld port soon, because that would be awesome. *cough SE needs to package this and FFVI with FFIII cough*

 

[Darkmatter]

It sucked for the PSX though. Well, the load times did atleast. The anime/cinematics were something to marvel at though, as they added some more depth to major parts of the game.

 

[Shadow1psc2k]

Yeah, the load times have always annoyed me about the ported SNES RPGs, but i've learned to deal with em. the PSX chrono trigger added the gallery as well, with all the music, movies, endings, maps, enemies, and treasures of the game.

Load tiems in General i hate. I love Nintendo because they are commited to reducing as much of the load tiems as possibles (minidiscs, cartridges)

Glenn rocks as a human though, he looks a lot more kickass as a human in my opinion.

i never got that far so that he turned back...

frog was... frog no changin that

*did he keep all his skills tho BTW?

 

[Shadow1psc2k]

i'm not gonna bother marking for spoilers, if u havn't beat it, you never will, or already know the ending anyway;


The original ending has glenn turn back into a human. To get this ending (easiest on your first playthrough) is just kill magus instead of accepting him into your party.

 

[Darkmatter]

That sucks though. I didn't want to kill Magus due to the fact that he's arguably the best magic user in the game. Darkmatter does more then mot Damage Spells, and for a single tech spell, it's quite impressive. But I did it once to see that damn ending. And let me tell you, the game as a lot harder without Magus.

 

[ArtOfProtoss]

Glenn rocks as a human though, he looks a lot more kickass as a human in my opinion.

Blasphemy! Perversion! Ridiculousness! Insanity! Mindlessness!

 

[Darkmatter]

He has green hair, right? He so owned Frog because of that. Glenn even sounds cooler then Frog, but I name him Glenn when you first meet him just because it look and sounds better.

 

[ChrisH36]

Everyone knows Frog is a badass. He splits a mountain in half and he can weaken Magus when you first fight him. I just need a party with an awesome Triple Tech and everything works out.

 

[Darkmatter]

Sadly, a few spells can do close tol if not more then most tripple techs can. (Darkmatter and a good MAG Luminare, for instance.) a good Flare can roast things a well. I like the triple tech with Magus, Marle and Luca. Does like 4000 or so last time I used it.

 

[relnor]

What about robo, amzing power, sweet techs, but frogs theme music is better though

 

[ChrisH36]

I prefer physical Triples. Like Triple Raid (Frog, Robo, Chrono. Requires Spire and X strike)

 

[Darkmatter]

Robo lacks magic, but he's probably one of the most physically adept characters. Strangly, his low MAG doesn't stop his heal beam from functioning well later in the game either. My main party is usually him, Magus and Crono.

god its been forever since i played that game....all i can remember is somthing bou finding a dragon in a cave

 

[TweaK]

God it's been a while since I played beginning to end, but I still muse around it since. Been playing it for like 10 years now

Place: Black omen, or zeal. Undersea palace is a close second, I love the design and feel of it.
Music: All of them. ++ Favs would be undersea, zeal, or magus's theme.
Mobs? I love all the sprites. Probably lavos v2, or gaia (i do believe his name was)
Dedication: Played through about 100 times (no effin exaggeration), I've mapped about half the game through photoshop working, ripped half the sprites, gif'd almost all the animations.
MAttack: Antipode 3 FTW. Luminaire is a close second.

Still love it. Might go play it right now
