Time to kick off the new year!
CROSS >>> [1] Before Christmas, Mitsuda previewed his arrange version of "A Narrow Space Between Dimensions". You can download it by clicking
here. Thanks to Jérémie Kermarrec and Chrono'99.
[2] The Chrono Cross character feature is finally out. Find it
here.
>>> TRIGGER >>> [1] RioRock has uploaded two chapters of the OAV manga; find them in
this thread.
[2] According to
this, Chrono Trigger DS hits Europe on February 6.
[3] Gamestop has changed the Napoleon Dynamite joke blurb for Chrono Trigger DS to reference Sarah Connor and Marty McFly; check it out
here.
MODIFICATION >>> [1] FaustWolf has released a comprehensive guide on inserting new tilesets (or location graphics) into Chrono Trigger. This is dynamite for the modding community; grab it
here!
[2] I've added Luminaire85's work in progress Blender plugin for importing Chrono Cross models to the modification section; you can download it
here.
[3] FaustWolf has uploaded an improved version of his sprite graphics offsets spreadsheet; grab it
here.
CHRONO RESURRECTION >>> Zeenbor has allowed the Chrono Compendium to post twenty pieces of unreleased concept art for Chrono Trigger Resurrection. Head to the
Fan Art page and click "Chrono Resurrection" on the right table of contents to check it out.
FAN ART >>> [1] A fan named Glen has created an 1920x1200 Chrono Trigger wallpaper to celebrate the New Year. It's possibly the first of its kind! Find it
here (fixed).
[2] Sooperkreep is at it again; this time we've got
FATE (yay; she's rarely covered) and
Magus.
[3] ChronoWeapon rounds 2008 out with
Happy Nu Year.
[4] Here's 9900GilJerky with
Harle.
[5] On the fan fiction side of things, Zephira has posted the prologue to "The Cats Came Back"
here.
SITE >> [1] The Encyclopedia Beautification Project of 2008 has wrapped. The prose in some older Chrono Trigger location and character articles has been fixed to remove passive voice and other excess that my 2005 brain habitually excreted. Images have also been added to the upper right of some entries to make them more aesthetically pleasing.
[2] This means we're finally ready to do the Analysis Review. First, we'll do it for the six analysis forums, pretending that
Chrono Trigger DS doesn't exist. Once that's done, we'll implement regular DS information to the encyclopedia, at which point we'll do a second Analysis Review incorporating DS. Staggering them this way ensures we don't have disparate, out of date information lurking around the encyclopedia, and that we treat DS with up to date temporal principles. [hidden]
http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Rate_the_Characters_of_Chrono_Cross took 5 hours to assemble, ugh...Korcha sucked so much that his image was starting to implode by sheer force of vacuum. Sticking Guy on there stopped the process, thankfully.[/hidden]
