Well,
finally! This
stuff should
have been
done eons
ago, but
at last,
the analysis
review is
finished and
the Chrono
Trigger DS
content and
analysis has
been added
to the
encyclopedia properly.
SO GET FIRED UP YOU BASTARDS!! The
Compendium's recovered
from the
troublesome times
and is
ready to
enter the
next phase.
Google trends
results show
that searches
for Chrono
Trigger and
Chrono Cross
are both
in decline,
and are
almost hitting
the valley
decline they
had reached
before Chrono
Trigger DS
was announced.
But the
Compendium will
continue! Past
the break
you'll find
our new
event schedule
and more
information. And
we've got
Chrono Cross's
10th birthday
coming up
in November (
for the
Japanese release,
of course!)
and I'll
try to
get Cross
on Wikipedia's
main page
to commemorate.
SO LET'S GET STARTED
First, let's clear up how the collaborative events will go from now on.
[EVENTS] [March, April, May] -
Spring's Gift - Fan art contest! The winner is the Artist of Termina. [June, July, August] -
Dream Splash! Summer's Cry - A site-wide creative celebration focused on a single, expansive theme! [September, October, November] -
Autumn's Fate - Remixing contest! Since the Chrono catalogue is so heavily remixed, more points go to more obscure source songs! Winner is the Bard of Regiorra. [December, January, February] -
Winter's Fragments - Fanfiction contest! Entries are judged on quality, theme, and closeness to recreating the Chrono feel. We take full advantage of the holiday season to compose works here. Winner will be the Poet of El Nido. And there we go!
[BOUNTY SYSTEM] Check out the
Great To-Do List forum, and you'll see that a bounty system has been launched to incentivize contributions. It's not much, and it probably won't help a great deal either, but there you go!
Second, let's get some site things out of the way!
[1] CT DS stuff is totally added to the encyclopedia, along with analysis from the CT DS forum review. Pages updated from the forum and analysis review include:
Magus (Guilde identity),
Fates of the Chrono Trigger Team (overwhelming force note),
Chrono Trigger DS Canonicity [2] Until we get a full dump of all the DS scripts and assemble it into a spreadsheet, you can use these dumps for finding things:
NA (English, French) -
JP (English, Japanese) ]
[3] utunnels recently found an interesting Japanese Chrono Trigger site with very detailed maps; check it out
here.
[4] I left a ton of links up there to music that helped me update the site, so have fun!
Now, some project news!
[1] TheMage has found a new RPGMakerXP project named Chrono Break. Check it out at its thread headquarters
here.
[2] GenesisOne's awesome Chrono Trigger pinball project has entered the next stage; he's drawn up schematics for it. Check them out
here.
Time at last for fan stuff!

Chrono Helix has been updated; check it out!
