Site Updates / Re: The Month That Could Have Been -- Chapter 17

If I remember correctly, Masamune was no longer there in the scene where Schala warps the two party members and Magus out of the Ocean Palace.

nope, pretty sure the masamune stays there...

------------------
EDIT::
wait, what time period is this again? is this pre- Ocean Palace incident or post? If it was post, Masamune definitely should be there....

------------------
Zeal takes the Masamune, hits Magus, and goes away with it. Causes the whole "Masamune-less" timeline, right?

Frog still had his Masamune, and then it gets taken by Dalton later on during the Castle defense. But before that, Frog and others returned the Masamune (of the proper timeline) into the ocean depths (Old Masa&Mune talking to Masa&Mune).

But I'm still confused at the Dispatch Chambers mechanics...

So you guys added an extra area connected to the MM's room when originally there was none.

That's the plothole?

yeah, I can't seem to find it myself... *feels stewpid*

Timeline changes from past = new people in the future (Belthesar, Cedric, etc.).

Crono + co. screw with timeline in past -- how will Marle know that she's supposed to save Cedric if timeline gets altered?

(ehh just guessing here. TTI gets a bit funny when you keep messing with the past and changing with the future.)

EDIT-- oh wait, the back entrance IS the plot hole ?!? (I don't understand -- explaination plz?)

AMAZING CHAPTER :') ...

Masamune, noooo!! (and I guess its almost time for this blade of heroes to be cursed... *sigh*)

I just can't believe that the entire world will never get to play this gem of fan work... Please, any update with the Square Enix side of things? (Any contact with SE of Jap?)

**Sorry for asking and not dropping the issue so simply... I just... The story really does... *sigh* (I haven't been following the recent threads as of late, and I dunno if FW has gathered any news [>.>]?)

Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: Ayone else played Chrono Trigger for the first time through the DS?

« on: June 06, 2009, 07:52:01 pm »

First time was actually SNES (with some ROM-esque disk attachment thing... Don't ask -- Chinese people are able to build the craziest things... basically, you were able to download ROMs, load it into the hardward of SNES, and play -- but save feature is utter fail on that).

But never got really far (lack of save)-- feel in love when I bumped into Marle. Seriously. Game is still amazing.

Got a PSOne (handed down from uncle -- same guy who got the ROM-attachment thing for my SNES)-- went to Chinatown, saw Final Fantasy Chronicles, bought.

Home, played, stuck with it, hated loading times, stuck with it, never advanced through 65 000 000 000 BC (home consoles need commitment and time...)

FINALLY: DS version port!! YES!! now at the final chapter... Training, sidequesting, etc. etc.

So basically, DS is first complete playthrough, but SNES (well, ROM thing) was my first introduction

Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: Square Enix Not Impressed by CTDS Sales

Found this on NeoGAF:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=16203277&postcount=15

"Apzonerunner" matches with the MSN address shown in Alex Donaldon's profile.

Can we get this guy to show the VP Crimson Echoes... Pleaseee. FAN MADE (SEVERAL) GAMES!! THEY CAN USE IT (me thinks?)!! JUST TELL HIM TO CONTACT THE COMPENDIUM :O !!

(me hopes that this VP dude from SE of Japan is still around? Is E3 still open?) EDIT-- no, its totally not.... unfortunately...

I simply hope that the Compendium community will be able to recover from this (I read the entire thread -- understand a bit more -- and sounds like some of these guys were really nice people?)

(Again, personally, I think SE should release A DAMN UPDATED STATEMENT about this entire issue so the community can just move on and watch the videos. If Compendium can push for a joint-project, even better...)

I'll just say everyone makes mistakes. But wounds will be harder to patch -- it's always easier to destroy as opposed to create. Sure, respect and trust will have to be regained, but in due time I guess?

(And again, I don't have the $150 000 threat hovering above my head -- so I can possibly fathom what the CE team is feeling.)

I guess we need to let this whole issue die out (or is that what SE of America wants?)... It's destroying the community, and we need to get this settled. Videos are nice (no, really, they are totally amazing), but some of us feel that we should continue pushing SE to do something (I'm one of them).

**Side note:: these few months/ weeks will make a helluva grand entry on the Chrono Compendium history page... [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Chrono_Compendium:About.html ]

I just hope that tensions and speculation get to a more stable and manageable state... Maybe one year from now? Two? who knows... Sometimes, things do in fact get crazy outta hand... (But holy crap, the game looks SOO nice, even I admit that if I had the chance... I dunno what I would do [-_-]...)

I thought "Shut up and die" was pretty appropriate given what Crono had just seen downstairs. I couldn't find any music that would go well with such a comment though, which is why I just opted for silence there.

Shut up and die -- sounds a bit forced (for Chrono at least -- in CE, he seemed much too lax and carefree)

Though, if something popped into a rage thing, I guess. But I would... well, hopefully something like that doesn't happen to me now [>.>] -- yeah, best leave the story scenario to you guys .

Just finished... and all I can say is just wow...

Soo many moral issues (I never played CC, so I dunno the *impact* completely)...

And I LOVE THE MUSIC !!

And might we viewers get an explaination: Save Ayla vs Attack (what is the result?) -- what did Chrono do exactly?

(I do hope that in the final versions, some of the dialogue for Chrono was polished up to a certain prose instead of just *shut up and die*?)

Contact SE of J, give them the game, ask them what they want to do with it...

Work with you guys, or take it in their own hands? What to keep, take away, add (Schala, Human-Glenn, etc.) ?

I still think there's miscommunication here: SE of America != SE of Japan...

(Sorry if I'm ranting too much/ posting too much. I've been up since 4:30 today and really am tired, but CE vids.... And et. all. If I'm getting annoying, just say the word and I'll shut up until next time )

EDIT::
Oh my god @ Truce Canyon- Reptite variation!! (and the haziness of my mind right now makes it so much better...) drooollls.

Heh, I just had a bit of my fantasy moments...

So, if SE does commission CE team to make a CT sequel (well, interquel), imagine the art, music, depth, and transitions there will be... More hours, more gameplay, more everything than what a fan project can hope for...

And image cover art with a mix of Toriyama's style with the CT gang (then a blurry break thing) and then Nobuteru Yuuki with the CC gang...

Full blown maturity cycle, the product of ages...

*****

But seriously, please contact SE of Japan?

They shit on the fans by ruining five years of your hard work, and then they tell us to buy more Chrono games?

WHAT THE FUCK ELSE AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY? I bought the original SNES game, I bought the DS remake, I bought Chronicles, I bought Chrono Cross... what the fuck else? Are they going to do an official soundtrack release here? Are they going to sell plushies? (I'd buy a Schala one for 100 bucks!)

...

I sympathize with you, my friend. There are only so many Chrono out there (that I can play...).

Yes, please, can someone contact these guys? Show them the video, get a contract, you know... Please?

Chrono has been abondoned. It's been for years. It will until they finally see what fans in the states are doing. Someone, please, email them about Crimson Echoes, Resurrection, Remake.... It looks like it only attracted American eyes, but not the eyes in "the land where the sun rises".

Anyone? CE has made the game... Now with the actual *rpo* dudes there, they can polish, add, and cannon-ize it even more. PLEASE!! SQUARE ENIX OF JAPAN IS CLUELESS TO THIS :'O !!

EDIT::
Oh, nice job on the vids btw -- I was watching the last batch and went "wtf, there's more !?!"

Re: the videos.

Holy crap, you know how impactful Lucca's line, "Heh... You don't know the will of the planet." is to me...

The Entity!!

You guys are great. Many kudos. Much appreciation and love. You writers and coders did a wonderful job at this !! (I wish I can say keep up the good work... But yeah... [>.<] -- still, any hope for a response from SE...? You guys should continue pressing them for it... We deserve at least an updated one with more accurate facts...)

Kasmir... Is that a new character now?

Nooo poor Glenn and poor Cyrus -- wtf Cyrus no exists? MASAMUNE :O !!

Come on whole can on woopass time !! (Though I did see a Glenn vs Magus in a preview -- interesting...)

BTW -- is Glenn's personality changed? He seems more *asshole* than in CT:DS translations. What happened in the *new* 600AD-605AD vs the original? How was Magus' own stories affected? How does Schala now fit in the Dream Devourer CT:DS ending?

Agghhh damn C&D :'( ... Though, I am loving the videos (its like a movie) !!

Once all the vids are done, why not make a playlist of all the episodes (and some of the trailers)?
