The Month That Could Have Been -- Chapter 5

[Chrono'99]

By like, stacking 4 people into the chamber to cause themselves to get sent to the point of least resistance. 

I don't think it made it into the game, but the Temporal Catch was supposed to run off COT. And as you may have noticed, nothing went wrong when Crono, Marle, Lucca, and the Porre agent went to 1005 A.D.

Yeah, the full Temporal Catch explanation didn't make it in to the game, but this doesn't apply in this case anyway because Crono, Marle, Lucca and the Porre Agent are all from the same era. They wouldn't have ended at the End of Time:

   When you enter a space-time distortion
   with four or more people who live in different
   times, the dimensional field distorts......

   However, there are many space-time
   distortions in this place.
   There are even those who, like you, appear
   here aimlessly......

   Perhaps something is exerting an effect on all
   of time......

         When four or more entities of varying origins enter a temporal rift
         together, the torsion exerted on time's flow pushes them to the point
         of least resistance: here. There have been a number of folks turning
         up here unintended recently like yourselves. I fear something is
         having a powerful effect on the very fabric of time.

Damn! Fantastic! Although I couldn't play CE I'm glad I got to watch it. ROFL Glenn rules!

But what I liked most among all was Alphard Zeal. xD He's come out fantastic!

What I HATED most though (no offense) was Magus crying like a baby. But then again that's the only thing I hated about CE. Meh...

Brilliant, but dammit these videos always end when I'm hooked.

When CE was first conceived, Schala was meant to become playable.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

This brings me to the one thing I would martyr myself for. If I ever do a Chrono Trigger ROM hack, and I make Schala playable, and Square sends a C+D letter, I absolutely guarantee I'd ignore it and go forward anyway. I'd literally throw my life away to see Schala playable in some form in some game, she's one of my top five fictional characters of all time.

Call me crazy, but I swear to God I totally would.

A couple of us had a decent Playable Schala in the works--it was going pretty well too...but, alas, that's neither here nor there.

Thanks! These videos have kept me awake at work for the past few days!

So I guess the current theory is that the dreamstones and the frozen flame are totally separate objects, a.k.a. the frozen flame isn't just a lavos corrupted dreamstone, but an actual piece of lavos. Can't wait to see how it ends up being the power source for Chronopolis!

Said the same thing about Crimson Echoes......that was before the 150,000 dollar threat on a document with my name and address on it.

All in good time

Yooooooooou don't know how obsessed I am with Schala, do you?

[Dialga_Palkia]

oh the memories. this place takes me back.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but the nighttime effect for 12,001 BC was magnificent--very well done. Seeing Zeal at night was such a great treat.

[leena_zeal]

My compliments for the dream scenes in Enhasa... they were, well, pretty strange. I enjoyed them very much.

god i love that night sky....drools.

Exactly my thougts on the zealan night skies (emphasis on the "drools" bit  )

[Agent 12]

It's funny watching the views for these videos.  I expected a huge spike for video 1, and then dwindling down, but it's more a huge spike dwindle, spike, dwindle spike, dwindle spike...

It looks like people are just watching the latest versions for each update. That doesn't even seem like it'd be fun?? 

I'm wondering if people are subscribed.....see I updated and assumed that I only added one video? So they just watch the last one?

[Schala Zeal]

This'll be interesting when I get back.

[Mikisho]

Subscribing doesn't do anything.  Because all these videos were uploaded on May 21st it seems.  Atleast youtube is saying they are.  So if that is the case, and you are just making the videos public, then subscribers will not get a notification of the video.  Atleast I don't believe they would.  I shall experiment and get back to you with a definite answer.  But I'm pretty sure subscribing does nothing.

*EDIT*

mmmkay, I just found out you can subscribe to the playlist xD.  So again, if anyone here is like me, subscribe to the playlist if you haven't to get the updates on youtube xD.  Not that you really need them if you're coming here everyday...

[Chrono'99]

Okay since people might not be aware that there is a playlist I went ahead and edited all the video links on the front page so that each video switches to the next one automatically.

Also a neat trick with YouTube is that adding &fmt=18 to URLs makes them play in HQ, even for videos that don't have the "HQ" button on them. For the ones we're uploaded the difference in quality isn't that noticeable but supposedly it's still better.
