Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: Best Party?
« on: December 25, 2008, 06:32:17 am »
Crono, Frog and Ayla (Definately for the first playthrough)
- Charm
- Decent Heal(like you'll need anymore in CT) and if you do there is Slurp Kiss
- 3D Attack kicks ass
- Falcon Strike
You might be lacking a slight bit in magical power, but luminaire is enough in 9/10 situation

Site Updates / Re: Site speed issues
« on: December 13, 2008, 12:37:18 pm »I get really random slow spikes here and there. Although annoying, it's not that big of a deal.
Same issues here. Slowdowns at random intervals. You'd have to install some performance measuring tool on the server to find any kind of pattern to them. You could do a cleanup on the database, or run some tests on the server if you host it yourself (with CT:DS the site has been more traffic). But i'm not entirely sure if those things are going to help much, it's looking a lot more like a server messing up on wherever it's hosted. Memory leak, Routing issue etc.
I've also been getting this error lately:
Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request POST /Forums/index.php.
Reason: Error reading from remote server
From what i know this is a 502 response from the server

Slowdown Log(ill keep this updated as best i can):
- 17:22 GMT+1 (12:22 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:32 GMT+1 (12:32 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:35 GMT+1 (12:35 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 17:41 GMT+1 (12:41 Pacific/Easter) - Both forum and main site
- 18:01 etc
- 19:36 GMT+1 Main site (small one really, 1 minute. The amount of slowdowns has gone down, and the ones i have gotten don't last as long)
- 22:34 gmt+1 (minus 5 for pac/east i think)
- 22:46
Most spikes last from between 1 - 5 minutes.

« on: November 23, 2008, 04:26:42 pm »QuoteI can't even enjoy the game anymore, there's nothing left of it but mayhem, despair and destruction.
I'm out of here, have a good one.
Take heart, dear Eket -- Future Magus informs us that there are as many realities as there are potentialities. Somewhere out there, there's a flourishing Guardia with King Crono and Queen Nadia at the helm, and all sorts of little ones running around the castle. Problem is, mayhem, despair and destruction make for interesting sequels.
To be honest it doesn't even need to be that happy. I just want them alive, i guess... We got the happy ending concerning Lavos, and Schala in Chrono Cross. And i hope for Magus' sake that he got the message that Schala is alive and well. The fall was never dealt with...
I honestly don't know why this affects me so much, but somehow it does. They are just videogame characters but somehow they mean so much to me. I just don't get it. I've finished over a 100 RPG's even ones where you control the ending you get( Evil, Good or Whatever). It's just weird...
Anyway... Sorry for my recent ramblings. Enjoy figuring all this stuff out. You obviously enjoy it.

One thing i will say DarkSerge: Dalton defeating Crono in 1 one on 1 combat? I find that highly unlikely.
Anyway, Screw it. I'll just leave the theory stuff to the other people at the compendium. I'll come back in a few months to read the endresult, it's better that way. My mind is too clouded by one thing anyway, the fates of Crono and Marle.
It's all i really care about when it comes to Chrono Trigger now. I can't even enjoy the game anymore, there's nothing left of it but mayhem, despair and destruction.

Why else would Kato put so much emphasis on the frigging cloak, and make him appear as the prophet? And since when has CT/CC been about logic O.o;

Dalton, and the Fall
Meh... Dalton should have just said something along the lines: I'll come back to haunt you when you least expect it. This referring to the fall of guardia. He basically blurts out his entire plan in front of them, and that raises more questions than it actually answers(You don't have to attempt to answer them).
Did Crono and Co simply choose to ignore this?
Did schala wipe their memory of the event?
Did schala sent them back when it had already occurred?
How did Dalton even become this powerfull? Face it the guy was a pansy
How did Dalton deal with Crono and Marle? I don't believe in killing major characters offscreen. It doesn't do them justice and is simply the cheapest way out.
What became of Dalton after the fall?
In any case i refuse to believe that Crono and Marle wouldn't do anything about it. The Fall of Guardia probably happened like planned. Dalton steals the masamune and flees to denadoro mountains with at leastCrono in pursuit. I think the final battle between Crono and Dalton happened there. Dalton is most likely defeated/killed.
I mean Porre invades El Nido at some point. If Dalton were still around he'd be there, or at least some mention of him would be made. There are still vague references about Crono and Marle around to support their lives after the Fall, and there basically are none concerning Dalton.
Prophet Magus
I've also been thinking some more on why Magus appears as the Prophet. He is not the one from your party. The one from your party goes back to 12000BC to search for Schala, but by some weird fluke he appears before the Prophet invades zeal kingdom. He tells the prophet what will transpire.
When Lavos is summoned in the ocean palace. The prophet instead of actually attacking Lavos simply waits. Crono and Co appear(and perhaps Magus). Schala attempts to save them, and succeeds. Whatever happens with Schala at this point(i always assumed she was sucked into the dimensional warp Lavos created, also sucks up the Prophet). The other Magus simply waits on his mountain where the CT team runs into him and rejoins them.
Fast forward to the point where Crono and Co go through the new portal, and meet the prophet. He finally reveals himself to be Magus. The party Magus i believe only gives an ! as a dialogue, there could be a hidden meaning behind that. Like holy shiat, it worked o.o;
My theories are probably not as good as some of the theories i've read here though.

I'm just thinking here, basically Dalton will cause the fall and obviously Crono, Marle and Lucca are not around to help in the fight.
Apparently you fight a clone of Crono, Marle and Lucca in each of the dimensional vortexes, or did i read that wrong? What if them fighting their clones, and the dream devourer are the events that tie them up, giving Dalton free reign over Guardia. They just weren't there.
Schala eventually sends them back to the point where the fall of guardia is already taking place or has already taken place.
I'm probably wrong though...

« on: November 22, 2008, 08:11:45 pm »As I understand it, Chrono & crew defeat Lavos, then Dream Devourer, then 5 years later, anno 1005 AD Dalton attacks with a massive army and destroys Guardia. Chrono and Marle either die or escape. Lucca had an orphanga with several children around that time but it was destroyed by Lynx, not by Dalton. It's impossible to say when that happened.
As for Robo, he worked with Belthasar on Project Kid and served as the Prometheus circuit in the FATE master computer.
Ayla and Glenn... No idea what could have happened to them. They probably lived out their own timelines and eventually died of age.
And this just completely does not make sense anymore. Crono, Marle and Lucca know what Dalton is planning now. It would be foolish to just brush it aside, sure they bested him in combat like 3 times. But that also means he returned twice despite those odds. Doesn't sit right with me, that Crono, Marle and Lucca completely ignore it when they get back to 1000AD.
I've put some thought into that. You fight Dalton in 1000AD's new dimensional thing. I haven't read anywhere that Dalton can be encountered in the other timezones. Lavos is defeated and the timegates dissapear, right? Sure there's the timedevourer now, but CC didn't have timegates either. The timegates are gone. Dalton has to be in 1000AD and starts building the Porre army at that time. Probably with Elements and advanced technology. I just can't understand why Crono and Co would ignore Dalton now.
They don't need to beat the entire Porre army. They just need to defeat Dalton before he fulfills his plan. In 600AD they didn't fight Magus' entire army, they went covert on his ass and snuck in. DarkSerge, I know you absolutely love Dalton and his involvement with Guardia. Happy for you it's now part of Canon, but it raises more questions than it actually answers. Which is probably what Kato wants... but he really took the easy way out with this new material. Magus gets amnesia. Come on even i can suck something more interesting out of my thumb.

I'm not really very good at all this theoretical stuff. Time travel, alternate universes, dimensions etc it tends to just go over my head. It took me a long time to actually understand the events related to Trigger and Cross, especially Cross. I still don't understand the ending of it, and what Schala meant. I've read the articles about it many times, i just don't get it.
Having said that. Does this new Canon material in anyway tell us what the fates of Crono, Marle and Lucca are? Can we form any new theories of their fates concerning the fall of Guardia? Does their momentary happy ending still happen? Or are they even more doomed now? I just don't understand it, all this stuff goes way over my head. Alone i will never figure it out...
The new material related to Magus is even weirder. Is he Guile now? It took me half a day of reading the compendium to understand that Guile could absolutely not be Magus. And now he is? Talk about a massive mindfuck o.o

Isn't that part of the lost sanctum quests? Apparently one of the bosses you fight during it, is a black nu. I can't confirm this though, just something i read somewhere ^^;

Well... Doesn't magus himself say that this is a future where they have already defeated Lavos? The entire dream/time devourer bit, was a last ditch effort of Lavos to basically not die. Crono and Co actually helped Lavos become the dream devourer, it's their fault Schala got sucked into that dimensional vortex at the ocean palace incident. She might have saved herself if crono, magus etc weren't there.
The dream devourer also got unlocked after you ended the game once. The ability to still go back and fight lavos is just there, so you can basically refinish the game. Don't think it's anything more then that.

Had the same issue just now. All i had to do was resize the picture below 100 x 100 and save it as a png, i also don't use photobucket or similar service. If anyone is having difficulties using photobucket or whatever, send me a private message and a link to the avatar, and i will host the picture for you.
