Chrono Trigger is one of two games that has...

[x_XTacTX_x]

Indeed.

I forged my own rainbow sword out of cardboard that day.

[neo-fusion]

LOL!!!

I remember when I was 6 my parents got me this toy sword and it looked exactly like Ultima Weapon from FF7. Good times hacking the iccicles in my back yard... i mean Gaea Cliff.

[x_XTacTX_x]

Heh.

I remember, my first halloween I went as a black mage from FF1.


I grew up in a family of gamers. :3

I remember being stuck in 2300 AD, unable to catch the rat for the life of me.

I was on the verge of tears.

Then, later that night, when I was at the End of Time and trying to learn magic and running around Spekkio's room...  Well, I was running the wrong direction and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong.  I remember praying to God (as in literally praying to God) to help me solve it.

I didn't that round, because the next morning my mom was helping me make my bed.  The SNES was on and she threw my pillow and it hit the SNES and erased all of the Chrono saves.  Thus... I had to start over...

[FaustWolf]

Oh man, Spekkio's room was seriously the hardest part of Chrono Trigger for me. I thought my game was defective. Then I actually looked at a clock and saw which way the second-hand goes...and in fifth grade, I learned the difference between clockwise and utter stupidity.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Glad to see I wasn't the only one, FaustWolf, hahaha...

Yet another Chrono memory...

Chrono was my first RPG and I rented it from Giant Eagle supermarket (that just happened to have a video rental store inside) during the early winter of 1996.  It was a Friday, and one of my older sisters was a cheerleader, so she and the rest of my family opted to go to the basketball game she was cheering at.

But not me.  I plugged up Chrono Trigger and found myself sort of confused by it's dynamics (Chrono Trigger had been referred to me by my friend David, and in my mind I saw it as a sort of Mega Man side scroller).  But I quickly got the gist of it and spent at least an hour hanging out at the Millenial Fair.  And I got hundreds of Silver Points for beating up Gato a gazillion times.

And the whole time I was playing... I was shoving down pizza pockets.

THE END.

[FaustWolf]

Reminds me of the hours I spent on Death Peak, downing diet Coke past midnight and imagining what side conversations could possibly be going on between recently co-opted Magus and the rest of the party. Good times.

Aha. I remember, I was about 3 and my brother let me play his Copy of CT. I started my own save and got stuck at 600 A.D. when you're supposed to play the Piano in the Chapel.

Also, being a stupid Toddler, I saved over my brothers New Game + and was thus banned from ever touching the SNES for the next five years or so.

CT taught me the fundamentals of Save Files, and what a bitch an old controller with a screwed up A button could be.

[neo-fusion]

Lol I hate having an older brother sometimes... when I was 5 and ff7 first came out he wouldn't let me use his memory card until I was 8.... farthest I ever got without the memory card... Just outside of Midgar after the motorcycle scene and it always took me forever on wall market and since I had trouble reading some things, I didn't know how to jump at the right time on the swinging pipe on the way to Shinra.

Now, I couldn't read well at that time because I was 5 for christ's sakes and it was that year that school hapenned.... (Fucking up my life still) and so on.

Anyway back to topic....


The only problem I had with Spekkio was accidently running out of the door when going around it... son of a bitch.....

[x_XTacTX_x]

I had the same problem as Faustwolf.


... Though I was about 12 years old. O.o;

I WAS TIRED AND IT WAS LATE. And I would always end up talking to Spekkio before I did the three laps.

[chronos_cat]

eheh...lets say my parents were out and it was only me and my older brother home, and when i got to the spekio part, my lil 5th grade swears flew...

another part i had a hard time was at the Lucca mother flashback. i did it 500 times, always messing up with the stuid up down left crap code. So my older brother finally took pity on me and did it for me...he was always better at that kind of stuff...

Huh, I just never saved her. :/

T Rod you said it.   I don't see how CC is a sequal because it basically has nothing to do with CT.  I have never played it but watched walkthroughs and read multiple reviews from gamefaqs.com and while it looks fun I would be lying to myself by saying it's a true sequal.   CT makes me more open to Time Travel and learning about time and space.

[Thought]

I thought Kato said that CC wasn't a sequel; rather, it is a result of the "trigger" being pulled in CT (that it was the next Crono, or something like that). It relates, but is isn't a sequel. Sort of like how events in a certain line of comic books might influence another line of comic books, but the two aren't actually sequals of each other (to provide a current example, how Iron Man comics effect Avenger Comics, and visa versa, or how the various X-Men titles interrelate).

CT and CC are more like the Hobbit and LOTR than Fellowship of the Ring and Two Towers.

Well, first of all, if you had played CC, you wouldn't be saying that. How in the hell is "20 years after the events in Chrono Trigger" not a direct sequel to the game? It even directly refers to characters from CT, and for God's sake, Schala is in it! There is plenty of proof in the game that proves that it is indeed a direct sequel to CT (Not to mention the fact that SE SAID IT WAS).

Anyone who is claiming it as not a sequel, is simply butthurt that Crono and the gang are not the playable characters, or the fact that time traveling was not involved.
I, for one, am glad that the old crew wasn't involved in another adventure, and I embraced every moment of CC (Though I would be lying if I said I wasn't shocked time traveling was not involved), and found it worth every single cent I paid for, and more. In fact, I bought it on the release date, and it still has enough replay value to continue playing it today (I just went through it again about a month ago).

Cross owns, it's one of the best RPG's for the PS1, and certainly on a top 20 of my favorite RPGs of all time.
