Sorting the Characters List
« on: May 03, 2005, 07:26:45 pm »
I've produced a complete list of characters at http://www.chronocompendium.com/wiki/index.php?title=Characters_%28Chrono_Trigger%29 (not counting bosses without lines), and it is structured according to NPC relevance to the game. I need someone or a few people to just read the list and decide whether certain characters belong in other tiers, or haven't been listed at all.

Shouldn't the villians have their own tier? It just seems odd to see Lavos and King Guardia in the same tier...

You'll see. Don't worry.

Personally, I think the way you set it up should serve its purpose quite well.

Of course, that's just me.

EDIT: Actually, though, come to think of it, I like V's suggestion (Hope you don't mind me calling that, V_Translanka.) It really had not come to mind at the time.

Well, originally I had them grouped by Playable (most important), Important Non Playable (like Janus or Belthasar, who have large influence in the plot), and Other, in which everyone else with a name or some influence in the plot is given. The last tier is for people who at least do SOMETHING but are unnamed.

I'll make the enemy tier now. Thanks everyone!

Okay, one more thing...You've got Vicks and Wedge, but no Piete? Piette?? Wait, what was the third guy's name? w/e...

Oh, and what about that guy that made Leene's Bell in 600AD? Did he have a name?

Banta. And I don't think Piette was in Chrono Trigger.

Piette is the guy who appears with Vicks and Wedge in the Tent of Horror.

Is Piette not in FF6, then? I know there's only two of them in some game, but I can't place it.

Vicks (later renamed Biggs) and Wedge were the 2 imperial soldiers at the begining of FF6, as well as alot of other games.  But Piette wasn't in FF6, I'm thinking he was CT exclusive.

Piette isn't in FF7 neither (while Biggs and Wedge are). I believe the 3 are all present only in CT and FF8.
