Sounds more to me like "I'll do this if it's the last thing I do," or "I'll do this even if it kills me!" which are some well-known English idioms. Basically, he'll die for this.

Or sort of "I'f i'm going down, I'm taking you with me"

What? I said that it wouldn't be a downloadable game it would be its own, which is correct. Plus I said that there other games would get more attention during production which is true. I wasn't wrong in any way.

Oops,k didn't read the "virtual"

Oooh, Esuna! Cool, we'll use that. And maybe she could have Heal 2 instead of Haste... Though she should get it earlier. And it really should be "Holy", as a tribute to FF. (like Flare) Plus, the sun is, like, holy and stuff in some cultures... As for her first spell, it shouldn't be "Moon Flare", since it's star-based. I think "Starfall" would be okay.

Oh! Idea! For her level 2, she could jump into the center, (like Crono's Thundaga/Lightning 2) a small beam of light could fall down on her, and then beams of light shoot out from her across the screen. (A reference to how moonlight is reflected sunlight, maybe...) Still no clue on a name, though. :/

Maybe she could learn a buff spell that raises stats of the party temporarily? Hm...

Oh, that's kind of like Ultima's limit break in FFXII

By the way just a head's up. Have you covered her battle stance, because every charachter bounces up and down as their stance.

Square Enix is Making a profit off re-release The Final Fantasy that is enough to keep any company afloat. Then the next big money maker is the Dragon quest series. This means A) Chrono Trigger will not be on any virtual console sense Square Enix can make just as much money as any new, Retail game. And B)They are vary safe, they know Chrono trigger will MOST LIKELY sell, and sell big, but why do that when they know Final Fantasy, And Dragon quest  WILL sell, and sell big.

Isn't it funny to look bad at what we say in the past.

FFVI's port came after FFVII.
Also, Masato Kato apparently learned about the CT port during CC's development.

  damn. No sequel for us.

I think that the sequel to Chrono Trigger is in the minds of the fatcats at Square. The basis of my theory, you ask?

Square Enix release a port of Chrono Trigger ------------> Chrono Cross is relesed
Square Enix release a port of FFVI ------------> FFVII is released
Square Enix release another port of Chrono Trigger ---------------------> ???

Ok maybe it's just a dream but the port to the DS that they have just released tells us that the game is still fersh in their minds. They have by no means forgotten about the demand for a sequel.

Also, one thing I must ask that buggs me. WHY THE HELL DOES MAGUS HAVE POINTY EARS WHEN JANUS'S EARS ARE NORMAL, AND JANUS IS HUMAN?!!!!!

Mortal Kombat wasn't good...not even the first one (not to mention the extra horrible sequels & television series). Lu Kang not ONCE throws a fireball...wtf is up w/that BS? Surely not as bad as the Van Dam Street Fighter movie, but it was a close race...Fighting game movies especially need to stay in the realm of anime it seems.

As for Marle (why the awkward jump in subject, Mikey?)...She's a singular healer with one of the weakest Magic attacks (not to mention weakest physical attack). Supposedly she makes up for it with Haste, but I've never bought that (Haste Helms on 3 good characters>Marle casting haste on two good characters & wasting space with herself). Her character is ok for a princess character, not as annoying as most that follow that cliché, and her yelling at the guards during her father's Rainbow Shell trial was priceless, but overall, I found her one of the most bland.

They just NEVER learn, they are doing a live-action DBZ movie...................... nuff said?

If not go and watch the trailer.......... i don't need to say anything else.

There is nothing in the human body a machine can't mimic, so yes Robo can have a personality.



Robo is the best not Magus!!!!

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was doing some lurking and I saw this comment and thought that I had to join the debate. What you said is both right AND wrong. Think of a human's (or any biological creature)'s brain as a massive flowchart. It surveys every single situation (ie prompted by a stimulus) and acts accordingly (think of it like getting up when your alarm goes off, or pulling your hand away from a hot surface). Now for voluntary actions like breathing, our heart beating and blinking, these actions have been programmed into our brains since birth, it in our DNA, to help us survive, we cannot help doing these things, like a robot or computer. They are programmed to carry out a given reaction when prompted just like a human.

However a lot of actions that humans carry out are involuntary, this is that we have a free will. Think back to the flowhart I was talking about. In a human the flowchart can change ON IT'S OWN (typical of most biological creatures), when a human learns that a better outcome comes with different responses (ie not carlessley walking into a street to not get killed by a speeding car), or a stimulus propmts the brain to expect another stimulus (ie knowing that if you hear discussion you expect to see a person), in such circumstances a human's brain /flowchart can ASSESS a situation an react accordinly even if it has never experienced it before, so in essence a human can allter it's flowchart (not just that but we do it on a constant basis). So yes a robot can reproduce the brain of a human, but this is only in one state of time, the programmed flowchart remains fixed in a robot so therefore only a limited amount (contrasting with an infinite amount for humans) of actions can be carried out by a robot, unless programmed from an exterior intellegence to do otherwise.

In addition, humans are capable of abstract emotions (such as love, hate, lust, happiness, despair etc) caused by chemichals in the brain. These make humans act out of turn and completley disregard sensible judgement, again altering the flowchart. Robot can never EVER fell emotions, you cna tell because emotions are incomprehensible and cannot be explained even by words. Thus, however entertaineing the storyline of Chrono Trigger is, this aspect (and many others) are impossible. And thus personality (personality being how these emotions are balanced and how the brain conditions itself) cannot

So what you said is pefectly correct in the storyline of Chrono Trigger, but the statement in general is false. So I belive yes you CAN like Robo for his endearing personality because he DOES have one, the one the storywriters gave him. So it futlie to argue that Robots don't have personality, thus Robo does not have one (someone that the quotee was stating in response to) because Chrono Trigger isn't real life.

Duh.
