Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: CT:DS Sales Numbers
« on: June 21, 2009, 03:01:34 pm »
Wow... Last Remnant has a huge budget, yet it failed. Yet Chrono Trigger DS sold more, despite being a port. I really don't get the logic of Square nowadays.
I think even The World Ends with You is getting a sequel and that didn't sell as much as CTDS. Granted, TWEWY is excellent, but I still question why Chrono is getting the shaft... unless there are employees who are against a Chrono sequel... until most of the team has been united.

Site Updates / Re: SUMMER'S CRY ULTRA UPDATE! A lot of stuff plus CE chapters!
« on: June 20, 2009, 03:23:59 pm »
Decided to throw in my two pence, as I've watched everything from beginning to the end (baring the sidequest, but I wanted to desperately see the ending).
...I got to say, despite all those glitches and such. The whole game beamed with endless imagination and efforts from the whole team and despite it being non-canon, you did all your effort to tie Trigger and Cross together. I like the references of Cross (never fully understood them, except for Turnips. But I never completed Cross). I'm surprised to see that you haven't focused it all on Dalton, but instead focused it all on King Zeal and I found him to be a excellent antagonist.
I never got the whole 'It's too dark". It's linking between Trigger and Cross. We know Cross was very dark, so it was inevitable that CE was going to be dark. I'm really glad that it still manage to keep the quirky Trigger humour (I lol'd at the maid, who shouted "I'm so getting a raise' at the most serious time). And I like Agent12's NPC status. I just question why he got more of part, when others like Zeality were consigned to hidden areas, so you have to 'find' them. But then again, it didn't ruin the experience for me.
Also, I love how Z handled the characters, especially the conflict between Magus and Glenn. It just felt hilarious a lot of the time, yet very fitting. The Reptite timeline and the DBT are amongst my favourite, whilst The Fall of Guardia comes to a second. Heh, makes me wish I could've taken a more active role on the forum. But CE makes me... I dunno... to do a project of my own? I know it will never materialise, but I'm still set on in the Game Industry as my future, even if the industry is bleak and hollow compared to what I call a golden age. If I start my own fan project, I would feel like I'd be closer to my dreams. Eh, I can prod my classmate to start one with me and then I can work on Writing and Scenario Planner (Fleshing out the story, a script, etc is my favourite part).
There are some improvements I wanted. I remember saying at one of the topics that I thought the introduction of King Zeal was killed with a wrong choice of music imo,, but I never manage to answer back. Something like Magus' Castle theme or a original (or an ocremix) would've captured the mood a lot better. Yet King Zeal was saved by an excellent dialogue and character development. I love characters with grey-area qualities.
I feel quite sad that it's over though. But forget that, even when SE shut it down, you still got your story told. Your fan-project still got an airing that people has witnessed. People should be greatful for that. Instead, after the C&D, people were whining and bitching about SE and CE that I want to kill the fan community. Yes, some of you I wanted to smash your head in the wall because it was so aggravating. Not only it was annoying, I felt as if some of you tried to cause headache for the CE team. Like this MSN PM I've been having for a while "If I ever see a whiny Chrono fan complaining about SE and CE, I will kill that bastard".
But eh, it's an example of your monumental achievement. Who knows? You might get something worthwhile out of it, srsly. It's an achievement of your abilities in a game. It's a mod nethertheless and it can lead up to wonderful things. I just wish Square were more like valve (i.e embrace modding, so the fans to the game and the creators can become creators themselves, creating excellent games in the future).
Oh well. tl;dr: excellent game, hope you use your abilities in the near-future. If I see you on another (original, maybe?) project, I would gladly support you.
PS: I got addicted to Sefiros - Transferred Conciousness. Damn that twat for having great taste in music and used it extremely well in CE (despite not being in-game).

Site Updates / Re: SUMMER'S CRY ULTRA UPDATE! A lot of stuff plus CE Chapter 18 & 19!
« on: June 16, 2009, 09:27:09 am »"Off the top of my head it's around 200,000 in the EU - pathetic numbers - and 600,000 in the US."
how much is CT:DS? 30 bucks? so they made 6 million from EU and 18 million in the US? That's pathetic? That's an eye opener...
It does not work like that. They have to pay for production of the cartridges, the retail for selling their product and they are left with a measly... profit. Plus Developers get paid like... %10 of any profits Square gains. You know where a lot of the money goes to.
But considering it's a port, it should be enough. Apparently, this is not the case (but Square love their money, a shame considering Enix was once the money-obsessed company. The merge left with a nasty side effect). Not like I truly care about a sequel anyway, since I'm happy with Trigger and Cross as it is.

Was wondering that too. Why not use Crono? The most used character was like... Robo? That's like using that dog in Chrono Cross.
It's just wrong.
Probably because Robo and Frog were like the strongest character. They pretty much overpowered them and max all their techs. Besides, Chrono isn't exactly the main character, therefore there's no forced control of Chrono anyway.

Site Updates / Re: The Month That Could Have Been -- Chapter 6

I liked the scene, but the music used for King Zeal just killed it imo. I know I should be appreciating it, but the reuse of the boss theme just killed it and I enjoying it far less than I should.
Eh.
Eh.

Site Updates / Re: Straight Talk Express with the Compendium...Next Stop: Truth
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:45:25 pm »
Well... I knew about the CE project, but I haven't been bothered to check up on it. It was only the past two days that I knew about the C&D and I'm really sorry to the team for their project to be trashed by the C&D. However, if Chrono Trigger exist as a PC game, you would've got away with it because of the modding community.
However, the fan's comment and such just piss me off, especially with the 'boycott SE'. Because some of them will resort to 'pirating their games' to punish them (and I know it). So here's this: You're not punishing them, you're just dirty thieves.
Not saying that any of you said it, I'm just pointing that out.
Me? There are still some SE franchise I'm interested in, so I'm not on the 'boycott' bandwagon, despite being a huge Chrono Trigger fan. I just knew it would get a C&D, so you could say I washed my hands of it. I just wanted to avoid disappointment and... I actually made the right choices. So no big loss for me.
I got to really question this: But does the Japanese Headquaters have any knowledge in this? Or is it something to do with the American Branch? Because if that's the case, you cannot blame it all on SE.

Please make the 1999 AD explorable, please. You could access it, before the Lavos Battle start, and the only way to access it is to trigger it somehow (go to the landmark where Lavos will arise).
You can like explore for some optional missions or need to obtain some stuff that will help you on your journey.

Yup I am Chrono Mizaki (My real name is Ammar, but call me Chrono). I'm 15 years old, love Gaming, Anime, A lot of water sports and Internet.
I live in England (I forsee a lack of British people here), and decided to join here cause I've heard a lot about this site on a Pokemon site (so I guess there will be some people who will recognise me from that forum), and I am a huge Chrono Trigger fan since I was 9, and its the first RPG that got me into it.
I love Roleplaying on forums, so expect me to see me in RPs (If you do it here that is).
So I guess see ya around the forum...
PS : No new forumers in a month, OMG
