[dan_death]

Alright, thanks. I already use Firefox anyways.

[ZeaLitY]

Awesome. That video isn't in the encyclopedia; that will be changed...

[dan_death]

Alright, just got finished uploading it to YouTube, amazingly I couldn't find it on there.

I found that video elsewhere today by looking at a Japanese blog (which once linked to a video I uploaded.)

I wish I could find more videos like that, but I've been looking on nicovideo for a while, but I saw a lot of videos of Magus being in your party when he shouldn't. And if you search クロノトリガー you'll come up with more results. Which it's weird, because it shows up as a bunch of question marks to me, but if you copy&past it in to the search, you get some results.

Good to see this. I haven't had time to search myself, but Radical R told me there were Eminence videos on it. The fact that one is from Passion! is GREAT. Passion! was professionally recorded, but of course that footage is just collecting dust. Three minute-long bootlegs of the Singapore concert were taken for the Chrono Cross songs, but as you can guess, they're incomplete. So to get more Passion! footage rules, mainly because Yasunori Mitsuda played two of those concerts.

Very interesting stuff, I hope more videos like the V Jump special could be found...and I just noticed something, some of the game play they're showing are some of the scenes on the prism cards. One or two, but I know for certain there's one, it's close to the end, the Blackbird flying while a blimp is docked.

I've compiled some images that have things different from both the prerelease and final version. Well some are the same.

1.



Since when was this?


2.



Notice the village to the right, as seen in the prerelease.


3.



No Melchior's Hut.


4.



What attack is this?


5.



Barrels instead of robots.


6.



What the hell part is this???


7.



Another unknown attack.


8.



Unknown triple tech.


9.



Another unknown attack at the rat looks sort of weird.


10.



Isn't that the prerelease Lavos background?


11.



And finally the Blackbird and the blimp.

3 is the same as in the prerelease.
I think 6. is the Prerelease's Sewer B3.

Edit-6 isn't quite the same, but I still think it's the same area.

[Chrono'99]

8 and 9 have a different battle menu, curiously. 8 seems to show characters with 900 MP

Additionally, the square that appears in the middle of Truce (right at the middle of the town, not Leene Square in the north) looks exactly like the square that appears before Nadia's Bell in the Chrono Cross Dead Sea...

[ZeaLitY]

Any relation to the alpha version V-Jump video?

[Sora]

i would help, but then i wouldnt be the good for nothing spammer that you all know and love ^.~ xoxo

[dan_death]

Any relation to the alpha version V-Jump video?

Strangely, no. Except some of the battle menu layout schemes look sort of alike. But not the battle menus themselves.

Wonderful, thanks!
I'm not sure if it's just the video quality, but does Chrono's sprite look a bit pale in color?

On a side note, I found this as one of the related videos for part 2 and had to share it with everyone here:
Robo's theme in Mario Paint!

I've thoroughly analyzed it. However, a service is still needed. Someone should identify who those other developers are by matching up whatever their names are on the status screens to the programmer's room names accessible in http://chronofan.com/Black/Publications/Retranslation/CT%20Retranslation%20-%20Endings%20and%20Lost%20Lines.htm .

Then we can announce.
