Revision as of 03:07, 10 December 2023

The following documents need to be translated to achieve a greater understanding of the Chrono series. If you would like to volunteer, please contact chronocompendium@gmail.com.

Chrono Trigger

1995 Gendai Plus Chrono Trigger Feature

Discusses workplace life at Square. Download here. Any help translating what is said would be appreciated.

Chrono Trigger OAV Manga

It's around ~160 pages and intended for a young reading level, so perhaps it won't be as difficult to translate as other stuff. If possible, a scanlation would be mind-blowingly awesome.

NOTE: EVERYTHING THROUGH GATE 3 HAS BEEN TRANSLATED AT THIS TIME (PAGES 26-27.JPG). IF YOU'D LIKE TO HELP, START WITH 28, AND THANKS!

Chrono Trigger Prerelease Coverage

Includes material on Chrono Cross, as well. We're hoping for something unique in here. The translations will be kept on that page.

Brut Press Volume, December 1994

Recovered by Cabbusses's Retro Obscurities here. Download the original file here (MP4, 250 MB). Original NicoNico URLs, now down:

A rip of a Brut Press volume from Dec. 1994 (sm21657890 + sm21628083 + sm21657890 -【非売品】ブルートプレス Vol 17 19). Contains previews for various Super Famicom and PC-FX titles. Chrono Trigger coverage starts at roughly ~15:43. Among the findings:

  • Different dialogue box
  • Different instrumentation for some songs (Chrono Trigger, Lavos's Theme, Battle 1 (very briefly))
  • A possible demo version of Battle 1's percussion/drum track
  • Mock-up battles (Goon on Zenan Bridge; Gato on the Blackbird)

Translation:

Square's Chrono Trigger. A timeless RPG created by masters from various fields.

Next, we would like to talk to Mr. Yamashita of Square.

You mean that the masters from various fields have participated in this project? That's...

Akira Toriyama, Yutaka Horii, and myself, Hironobu Sagauchi. We started Chrono Trigger with the idea of making the most interesting game in the world. An unprecedented story and events that transcend time and space. A dream game that pushes the limits of RPGs with a wide variety of characters and breathtaking graphics. Chrono Trigger, the most epic role-playing game of this century, has finally been born. Game designer Yuji Horii, who has created numerous hit titles such as the Dragon Quest series, has created a new game, Chrono Trigger, which is the most epic role-playing game of the century.

Dr. Slump Dragon Ball

Akira Toriyama, a popular manga artist who has released hit titles such as Dr. Slump Dragon Bus Ball. The three masters, Akira Toriyama, who has created hits such as Dr. Slump Dragon Ball, and Hironobu Sakaguchi, the supervisor, started the project with the determination to create the most interesting game ever.


The main character Chrono meets a girl in a square crowded with festivals. She urges him to go to the festival with her, and he decides to go with her. Crono decides to visit his childhood friend Lucca and her son to see their new invention. There he finds a mysterious machine...Marl, who is full of curiosity, willingly becomes a test subject. Crono's adventures unfold across all eras, past, present and future.


And the unique characters that color the world of Chrono Trigger. The main character, a boy named Crono. Crono and Marl have a fateful encounter . Lucca, a girl who loves to invent . Mysterious character Frog who speaks human language . Eira, a female warrior of primitive times .


And the latest system is introduced to combat. Active Time Battle, first introduced in Final Fantasy 4, has been significantly upgraded. Various other elements and new systems make Chrono Trigger even more fun and exciting. The first 32-megapixel Super NES RPG. The result is detailed graphics pushed to the limits of the hardware. The result is a world that is not at all inferior to the hardware of the new generation.


The biggest blockbuster of the century, role-playing game Chrono Trigger. March 1995.

Chrono Cross

Chrono Break or Other Interviews

Mas alla del Tiempo

The book Más allá del Tiempo was published in 2015 and later translated to French, containing interviews with Masato Kato and Yasunori Mitsuda:

The Kato interview has been translated:

2015 - Masato Kato, by Mariela Gonzalez

The Mitsuda interview has not been translated to English. If any Spanish-speaking of French-speaking Chrono fans can provide the Mitsuda interview, it would be hugely appreciated.

Youtube Interviews

We also need someone to watch these and provide the gist of any portions that talk about the Chrono series. A Japanese fansite that tracks interviews confirms they do, but the Chrono content is unknown.
