Official CT DS Differences Thread [IMMENSE SPOILERS ON PAGE 5 ONWARDS]

[placidchap]

i predict that schala merged with lavos..to become the dream weaver..to rise the kingdom of Zeal from the depths of the ocean...only to be overcome by lavos resulting in the TD. muahaha

Play faster Dark Serge, the suspense is killing me.

[Rio Rock]

The us verison should have English, French, Spanish on it, and maybe German, no word on if the Japanese text will be in it or not.

I don't think so. Unfortunately the European version will just have English and French text. D:

[Eternal Myst]

We need spoiler tags bad.

Update: When the Black Omen rises, two green gates appear. One on the 65,000,000 BC world map and one on the 600 AD world map. I checked the 65,000,000 one out, it's a Reptite cave, with a pseudo Guardia forest and a marsh. When you defeat all the monsters in the forest the Reptites in the cave part come out of hiding and will keep asking you favors. The second one was to retrieve a golden hammer or whatever. I also briefly checked the 600 AD one, but it seems to be the same concept as the 65,000,000 one. It's not the same place, but it looks identical and has the same concept. Anyway, I found this part too boring to check it out further. I don't think it has anything to do whatsoever with canon. Just a little extra to gain experience, items, and money. I found only one thing intriguing: There's also a mountain part, but at the very beginning a dark colored Nu is blocking it, so it's impossible to say what's there for now.

I'll probably complete the game in a couple of hours.

AHHHHH!

By the time I get off work and can check the Compendium, we might know.

[Dark Serge]

Just a side note, I'm not doing the side quests (except getting back Chrono) because I don't think it contains anything new except for translation. I'm eager to see them, but right now I'm more eager to see really new content. Gonna do Black Omen in 1000 AD and see if I can defeat Lavos like this. It shouldn't be too hard.

I'll keep you updated

[Romana]

Don't rush yourself to the extent you kill your enjoyment, Dark Serge. Thanks for the info.

[Boo the Gentleman Caller]

Don't listen to Pyt Fumv, DO rush yourself and ruin everything you ever wanted.  Take one for the team.  You make a sacrifice for the greater good.

Just kidding.  I agree with Pyt Fumv.  Don't let us rush you.  Enjoy it at your own pace.

[Dark Serge]

Meh I'm rushing to see what's new first and then I'll play it slowly and enjoying it really. This is CT after all, playing it three times in a row still doesn't get boring. Anyway, I'm doing some of the sidequests, cause it turned out I was a bit underpowered from rushing through everything.

The first boss in Black Omen owned me

Oh well more stuff soon

Oh CRAP I forgot to tell you this btw

There's an accessory called Dragon's Tear in the game. It boosts critical hit rate when equipped. I don't remember exactly where I got it though... I think it was before you come to Zeal the first time somewhere. Oh well, I'll say it when I remember it again.

[Romana]

I've only just beaten Guardian in 2300 AD. Fuck waiting in the cold for a taxi this morning. And timezones. Fuck timezones.

Dragon's Tear, eh...? Neat little shout out/cameo...

Anyone else trying to rush the game, y'might wanna make use of the Berserker Ring.

n00b!

I say spam the Nu in the Hunting Ground for Tech Points (& exp? I forget...)...depends on when you are though, I guess...

[tushantin]

Holy cow! (Forgive me, I'm too slow for following this thread, or this thread's like a gattling gun, but) Is it just me or did Justin's pic show the final boss as... The Time Devourer? o__O x_x

Hopefully we'll know in a few hours

[Romana]

My guess it's a proto-Time Devourer... before it evolved into the form we see in Cross. I'm not reading the GameFAQs threads on this since I want to enjoy the Vortex for myself.

"My name's Spekkio, I'm a Master of War! I watch all kinds of battles from up here!"
That's pretty different from what was implied in the original, right?

[FaustWolf]

Spekkio is no longer a god?

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, nom nom nom nom...IT'S CANON!
You see, that Bacon Strips commercial is the only place I've ever heard the words "nom nom nom" uttered in the English language.

I'm doing a precarious low-level run through so I can get to the Time Devourer ASAP. Then I'll up a Youtube vid of my party getting Pwned by Schala.
