It's been a couple weeks, so let's get things
rolling!
[OFFICIAL] g4tv recently
interviewed Square Enix about toys, and the interviewer brought up the popularity of the recent Chrono Trigger figurines. The Square Enix representative noted about new merchandise: "...because there were so many different people involved in that project, and it’s an older game, he said it’s really up to the fans to let Square Enix know that they want more of them." Thanks to V_Translanka for the heads up.
[2] The Smithsonian is deciding which games to showcase as essential to history! Be sure to vote for Chrono Trigger
here. (Thanks Kara for reminding us!)
[3] Romana has found a Chrono Trigger reference in Final Fantasy XIII. On the Nautilus, an NPC says, "I wanna go to the Fiendlord's Keep!" Thanks for finding this!
[MERCHANDISE] Guru of Time Angerona tracked down a little-known artbook called "ANVIL III. The Man in the High Castle", featuring works by Nobuteru Yuki. Awesomely, there are a couple of Chrono Cross scenes from the development process! Head on over to
Official Art (Chrono Cross) to check it out! There are three small captions that also need to be translated; easy, easy stuff! Thanks again to Angerona for another achievement in a long line of triumphs for Chrono merchandise.
[2] Angerona has provided some better pictures of the Serge and Karsh diorama sold at the Tokyo Game Show for Chrono Cross, as well as the Chrono Trigger Formation Arts figurines. Find them
here and
here.
[CT UNGLUED] Clovis15 and the team have been making consistently awesome releases during this long period without site updates. The Compendium has added all the new episodes, which you can find at the feature anchor
here. Tons of thanks and appreciation to the CTU team; it takes determination and the springtime of youth to keep a fan work rolling at full speed!
[2] Clovis15 is now looking for voice actors for a Youtube voice track version of Chrono Trigger: Unglued. Check out the thread
here!
[SHOOTER] Speaking of up and coming projects, sephiroth976 has released a demo for a Touhou style shooter called Chrono Battle. Find the thread
here (feedback encouraged) and the demo

[OTHER] utunnels finished a bevy of new rank icons! The post ranks are finally complete. Check them out across the forums!

Pushing My Buttons!
[3] Thanks to utunnels (and no thanks to my ignorance of
Roman Holiday), we've discovered that the Mouth of Truth in Radical Dreamers is based on a real sculpture in Rome, with a similar legend. Check out the entry
here.
[4] fantasyanime_guy (of
fantasyanime.com) has done an amazing 3D render wallpaper of the Epoch Launch cut scene from Chrono Trigger PSX, complete with some behind-the-scenes looks. Check it all out
here!
[A TREAT...] We have a HUGE treat to start the fan update off with: the return of Fuee! Recognize the name? He's the total badass who made
THIS, which you may know as the very
face of the Prophet's Guile ROM hack, and used for the SPC music collection from the game! He's back with
Harle and
Steena. Great to see you again!
