objects that hold power= crystal skulls, the holy grail, pyramids, shrines.

The only power they hold over us is the power of imagination. There are many ways to learn and experience this world, but you need not necessarily view it through Stuart Wilde's path. Find your own meaning in this amazing universe.

so are you saying you dont beleive in such etheric forces, or that this reality of ours is an  illusion wich these things dont matter, or hold energy?

i used stuarts site as an example, theres more info i learn before i post a possible outcome.

and yes i do beleive objects of our world hold powers.

try to find something about GOLD POWDER, the number 19.5 and the powders ability to levetate. also the pyramid caps were solid gold, and beleived to have been teleport devices when the alien technology was around with mars.

I see a story that could use some improvement but is a good one nonetheless, with solid plot logic, and for a time travel story that is rare indeed, especially when it comes to video games.
Good point.

Anyway, do you know another good RPG game that touch a time travel subject?

Final Fantasy I. But it made no sense.

Depending on your definition of an RPG, Zelda: Ocarina of Time had time travel in it... but made even less sense than FF I.

No. It's all pseudoscience and fiction until empirically proven.

I don't know where to begin with ProjectoR's... insights. So I'll get us back on topic! -ish.

Day of the Tentacle was a point-and-click adventure game from 1993 that incorporated time travel, and did it well. Not quite as extensive as in CT, to be sure. It's a utterly different experience, but still a very good one... or at least the parts I've played are. It's utterly hilarious, which is pretty much the main point.

To repeat what everyone else said, it's the music and the graphis and the battle system and the story and the character design and I could keep on for quite some time that make CT special. It's really that the entire package was top-notch.

That's probably what gets us to the heart of the matter.  Aside from any one element (although I'm sure we all have our favorites), the fact that as a whole, the game is solid probably leads to all of us enjoying it as much as we do.

Not to mention that since you probably get few people here that don't like the series, you'll probably witness some unanimity with regards to the games awesomeness.

Much like Nazis on Stormfront, idiots on GameFAQs and uncreative morons on YTMND,  the site caters to an interest, and attracts those who are interested.

Yeah, but I like to think Chrono fans are infinitely superior to the above mentioned fools.

Especially Gamefaqs.  I used to frequent the Shadowrun 360 board.  Yikes, what a pack of infants.

No one is superior to anyone else.

That said, I was kidding around, just in case someone thought I was calling the site or Chrono fans idiots.

Bah, superiority abounds.

I'll grant that my sweeping generalization regarding Chrono fans isn't legitimate, but no two people are alike, and there's always lessers.

Well I guess that depends on what you mean by superiority. It's true, there are people more intelligent than others, people more athletic than others, people more educated than others, and so on. In specific fields there are superiors and inferiors, yes, but on the whole, no one is superior in every field of life than anyone else; it tends to balance out, hence my statement.

I don't know if I'd go as far to say that it balances, but I understand what you're getting at.

Besides, even you recognize a degree of superiority in attitude as the examples of other sites you raised were not favourable.

True, but I also recognize that people can change in their attitudes, in their way of thinking. Sure, I may have called the people on Stormfront Nazis(and they are, if you've ever seen that site) but they can change. Idiots can become smarter if they apply themselves. Uncreative morons simply need to choose a different outlet.

I suppose I do recognize degrees but, as I said, because they are variable and not set in stone, no one is truly superior above all others in every aspect.

Yeah, I know.

But I don't have to like it!

I will concede that human potential is often equal amongst everyone. But if I cannot be qualitatively better than others through pursuit of my own illumination, then there is little reason to live.
