Submissions / Chrono Series Retrospective (Video)

« on: February 12, 2013, 06:22:37 pm »

So, for the past 2-3 weeks I've been working on a retrospective for the Chrono series. I referenced the site in terms of plotholes/inconsistencies each individual game in the series has and as such, I feel obligated to post it here. Also, I've a feeling I may have gotten some information wrong, so don't lambast me if that's the case. Either way, here it is:

Does anyone know of an embed code? I hate just posting the link.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: CE or FoE...Which To Review

Fair enough. I know I could find at least -one- version of each game, but finding the most updated version of them could potentially be taxing, or at least for FoE it would be. There'd also be the issue of FoE potentially updating mid-review. At any rate, thanks for the help. I'll decide upon how to go at this and later I'll post the review here~

Hm, I see. I probably shouldn't have brought it up, then. At any rate, I'm unsure of where I could find both games in their most updated versions. That's pretty screwed up that they removed names from credits, though. Childish, even.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / CE or FoE...Which To Review

« on: August 07, 2012, 09:42:15 pm »

So, hi! I just started up vidya gaim reviewin' back in early July and after having gotten my hands wet with two games, I found that I rather enjoy dissecting games to understand what creative elements went into making them..well...enjoyable. As such, I was drawn back to one of my favorites, Chrono Trigger, though due to the popularity, I felt reviewing it wouldn't necessarily make the most sense. So, I turned my attention toward Crimson Echoes, which many people know about, but I feel like very few people have reviewed it, if any. So, as I was writing my CE review, I was Googling some information on the game, as one is bound to do with any piece of review material and found out about FoE. So, here's where my dilemma kicks in. I've read that FoE is the most up to date version, but it also has many storyline/gameplay elements that differ from CE, much to the chagrin of Kajar Laboratories. Though, the feelings are quite mixed, or at least that's how it seemed from what sources I could gather.

Obviously, I'd want to play the most up to date hack, but at the same time I want something oozing with quality that was reminiscent of CT itself. Should I review CE because it was the first and most true hack? FoE because it is the most up to date? Or should I review both and compare? I didn't want to jump into anything, as I feel I'm in way over my head with this. Hell, CE may even be more up to date than FoE at this point, I've been out of the loop for a while. So...advice? Thanks.
