Hah, font. I like it, but thats besides the point: its the personalities of the characters that matter, that comes through from the choice of lexis: surely font doesnt matter too much?

What matters is the fact I havent seen the original intro in game yet? I hope its an extra? Any light to shed on this?

Are you seriously bitching about a font? You really need to sort out your priorities. It's not like it's in fucking Wingdings or some illegible shit. I personally prefer the CTDS font, but as long as I can read what's going on either way it's really not even worth discussing.

in my spare time i study typography. font layout and usage has become one of my topics. to put it simply, i'm one of the few (i'm saying few cuz i don't know the actual number) here who can tell the difference between helvetica (the better) and arial (the lesser) immediately, even in smaller sizes.

I prefer the DS font.  It's more clean cut and isn't so big and blocky.

I actually like it the same. I think it's smaller, and that's probably to deal with some 6 letter name issues, but I don't know anything about it so I may just be pulling that out of my ass.

Whoo, a bit harsh!  :lol:


Really though, if it is for the names, I love it. I can now have Chrono, Mahrle, Luccia, Frogen, Roboto, and Maogus just for the hell of it!

The fonts seem to be one of those matter of opinion things. I personally didn't mind the font in both this and FF6A. Looked a bit better in my mind. Granted in both the new translation did leave out some of the more classic lines but in both cases they were more true to the original so it worked. Personally as far as CT went however I thought it would have been a nice touch if for the player characters and major villians they did like they did with the GBA FF6 and had character pics when they spoke. It was a nice touch that I kinda liked but obviously it's not a game breaker. Either way the DS version is the best version of CT that Square has ever made.

Now if only they'd make a new Chrono game or come to a deal on CE :-/
