Mega Update 2/2 - 6 Letter Names & Site Updates!
« on: October 13, 2008, 10:27:55 am »
Vehek, Mauron, JLukas, and justin3009 have completed a patch that allows 6 letter names in Chrono Trigger. Apply it to an unheadered ROM. Grab it here[2]  Julford's spotted what may be new animations for the second and third party members when they enter a Gate. Hit this video and watch until the end; instead of standing still as they do in Chrono Trigger, they've got static animations. Thanks for finding this new detail.  [3]  Square's "Chrono Trigger Museum" at the Tokyo Game Show turned out to be framed pictures of Akira Toriyama's art. You can find a picture at this page.

SITE  >>>  [1]  CHRONO COMIX IS RELEESED < FREAK OUT LIKE AN IOKAN FLAPJACK HERE, DON'T MISS HE PARTY!  [2]  Newton's existentialist reading of Chrono Trigger is now our latest article; check it out here[3]  The October site update is complete, which means I've added to our listings all new remixes up to the present. To get a full glance at all the new songs listed on the site, hit this thread[4]  The forums now use SMF 1.1.6.

PROJECTS  >>>  [1]  ChronoSuper has posted an idea for a fan project called Chrono Gyro; find it here[2]  If you missed it the last time, Cinnamon Pirate has extensively reviewed the Chinese NES homebrew of Chrono Trigger. They just seemed to miss the point of the Retranslation in the review, so I guess we'll pity them or something. Find it here.

FAN STUFF  >>>  For art, TheMage starts thing off with DS Woes and Kid sprites. CronoBJS continues with new Crono sprites. Next is cald's awesome custom Radical Dreamers box art and mockup. Sailor Phantom gets us back on sprites with Serge & Kid sprites and Zeal Royal Family sprites.

6 letter names, awesome. *downloads*

CRONCO TRIGGA COMIX// ITZ LIEK A BIG GOOMBA

The review of the Chinese Famicom CT has me in stitches. Minus the Retranslation bit.

Quote
The music is also painfully ported to a very bad sound driver. Gil Galad has made an NSF for anyone who likes suffering, but I will sum up the sound: imagine listening to Chrono Trigger melodies played by an Atari 2600, accompanied by two “drone” instruments which are nothing more than line noise.

    They call me Gato ♪
    I was in the fair ♪
    But now I’m not ♪
    ‘Cause the game’s fucking bare ♪

Nice update, Z.

Robo's pose there in the gate looks like one of the standard ones, but I don't recall ever seeing that one of Frog (that I can barely make out)...

The one for Frog is him doing a back flip.  It's one used in his attacks.  Same goes for Robo.  I think it's just a sprite error...I hope
