Fall is upon us! Time to kick the
fruits of summer into maximum gear and carve a searing path through whatever winter may throw at us! There's not much abuzz in the official world right now, but things on the site have been stirring, and we've got some new remixes, art, and fanfiction to digest.
[SITE UPDATES] Thanks to the badass Kodokami, we now have a complete set of Missing Piece pages of interest for future translation purposes. (We still need translators, sigh.) Thanks so much for scanning these pages! They're
here.
[2] Aardwolf_Zy has updated his Chrono Cross FAQ, considered the definitive text guide by the Chrono Compendium! View it
here.
[3] Vehek discovered that Demiforce's Radical Dreamers patch omits the graphics credits. They've been added
here, and the record of personnel multi-game involvement has been updated
here.
[4] utunnels is testing a Chrono Cross glitch involving the Unicorn summon. If you have a PSX and patience, check
this thread.
[OFFSITE] Kirk Battle wrote an analytical article worth checking out, called

[3] GlitterBerri.com is down right now, but Glitter had recently translated more Final Fantasy VII debug room lines, including the lines for Masato Kato's room. (Kato wrote the Cloud breakdown/mental journey part of the game.) While there's nothing related to the Chrono series, these lines were cool:
Nyuk nyuk nyuk… Welcome… to Kato's room. A summer bug flying into the fire. A bedbug in a shabby inn. That is what you are.
Huh? There's no way you're thinking of stepping on me, right...? It doesn't matter how many times you tell me I'm just a floor, that's terrible!!
Also present in the debug rooms for FF7 is a map select that allows the player to warp to the field "KURO_5". (
This map.) The Japanese version listing for this map is "穴底の恐竜" (Dinosaur at Bottom of Hole). When the game was localized in English, they left the translation of the map select text to a Japanese-speaking employee. This employee localized the listing for KURO_5 as "Tirano", a reference to the dinosaurs of Chrono Trigger.
[FAN FICTION] Zipp Dementia has wrapped up the Chrono Break fanfic! Check out the finished work

[SPECIAL NOTE] Thanks to pasq424, we now have an untruncated version of the unknown collection Corridors of Time remix, which we know to be the work of nuXion/Byron Long. We still haven't proven whether the other unknown remixes circulated in that collection are his work, but it's very likely. Find the complete version
here.
