My favorite Uematsu song is One Winged Angel. My favorite Mitsuda is The Dream That Time Dreams.
Which song is that? I couldn't find it in either the Chrono Trigger SPC
or Chrono Chross PSF soundtracks. Is it something from Xenogears/saga?

Chrono Compendium Discussion / What happened...

....to the old site?
I know I'm not going to be popular for saying this, but the original layout of the site worked better.
Not the design itself, but the manner in which content was added. I admit I haven't been around
in a while (when I last came the encyclopedia had just been completed), but I remember when an update of
Chrono Compendium consisted of Zeality (1), adding information to the compendium, or (2) posted
news/links regarding the latest fan projects in the scene. I know it's hard to be a one man staff,
so that's why he needed help adding content. But the thing is, I used to come here and it would
look very clean-cut and proffesional. Now what do I see? A main page that takes too long to load
because of updates by X person ranting about X fan game like it's the coolest thing ever
(while making several typos and grammatical errors, mind you) and posting enormous pictures
like I actually came to the Chrono Compendium just to see the latest concept art from a game
that is months and months away from release. Not that Zeality never updated the site
with fan game information. No, he did that all the time -- he just provided links to the images instead
of forcing them on whoever visits the main page.
Now I know by now someone is reading this and thinking "Dude chill", or "Yeah, who cares, it doesn't
bother me", or something like that. I don't expect this to be taken seriously, because nobody ever
really seems to want to take constructive criticism anymore----but why not have a text-only version of
the main page, at least? For the sake of people like me who used to come here all the time to find
a website that was seriously and proffesionally managed, but who don't now because of the above
reasons. I mean, I'll still come here if I need to look something up in the comendium, but an index page
that gets flooded with big images is nothing but amateur looking, and an eyesore to people who could
not care less about "X" fan game coming out "whenever". Forgive me for sounding rude, but I come
here for Chrono related content, but not to see someone tooting their own horn with large images
(when it *could* be a thumbnail link) of their own fan game, and then passing it off as an "update".
This is why I think a text-only option of viewing the main page would be awesome.
Am I taking things the site too seriously? I just loved and now miss the proffesional look.
It has nothing to do with buttons or a background, but everything to do with how content
is posted.
*waits for angry peoples' replies telling him to chill*
