>position-based techniques that are entirely dependent on whether the computer decides your characters will move into the right positions to use them/avoid them
This is the main reason I find it difficult to respect Chrono Trigger. There needed to be an option to move your characters around manually. But, if this had been implemented, it would have exposed how shallow the positioning mechanics really are since they only matter less than 5% of the time anyway.
This would come full circle when Black Sigil did exactly that, to little avail as there was almost no time when moving your guys around on the field mattered.

Chrono Niggas just need to play another rpg on the same system in Live-A-Life to see how to properly make a tilebased jrpg with active positioning.

>>741796668
it's too easy. otherwise I think it's the best version of ATB yet, as it gives you an actual mechanical incentive to wait for turns to stack up. usually the FFs would just have a boss or two with counter stances you'd just heal during or wait out.

Magus is a little fuzzy because he might've been one of your party members in Chrono Cross, but the only trigger party members that had a good ending were ayla and frog because those two getting fucked up would've really messed up the timeline. Did the writers really hate the OG cast that much?

I don't. It's just right for me - it's not quite as brain dead as final fantasy or dragon quest's battle systems at the time (hold down attack until you win), but it's also not overly complicated either.

>>741827346
You should be Level 45-50. most important stats in that fight is hp, stamina and magic defense. You need at least 850 HP and it's good to have a character that can cover 1 or 2 others. Crono and Magus both have high stamina/mdef and i usually use one of them with one with has high stamina and low mdef, and another with high mdef and low stamina

what font was used for dialogue in Chrono Trigger SNES version?

>>741828280
Not necessarily, you can do it lower but it's safer if this is your first time. But if you don't already have 'Gold Erng's for everyone, you can steal them from Synchrites. Megalixirs can be stolen from Ruminators. That room where 4 Ruminators move from out the hole in the Black Omen is perfect for this.
>>
>>741828280
make sure you do it in 1000 AD, 600 AD, and then 12,000 BC just for those items.

That and it really oversells the 13(?) Endings angle. I appreciate that you can technically beat the game whenever and there's a couple frames and dialogue boxes, but the true ending is the only full ending and even that's a bit underwhelming. Earthbounds ending by comparison feels far more fleshed out and even that isnt great
>>
>>741828793
Definitely. At least two of the 13 endings are just slideshows of random characters too. Even Chrono Cross does a better job of actually having different multiple endings despite that game being an unfinished mess.

>>
>>741827346
Why would you skip the black omen?!
>>
>>741829157
This
Easiest way to make me lose interest is to make you shelve the majority of the party at any given time. "Oh, new guy, cool, get on the fucking bench you suck" should NEVER be the reaction to a new party member, but JRPGs do it consistently. 3 guys in a row was a limitation of the time. If you're going to give me 7 guys, let me use all fucking 7.

In Alternate Timeline Crono’s Mom is the protagonist after she fell in the portal at the end of the game. Tata, Johnny, Kino, Fiona and one of the Guardia Queens would rock as party members!

It would make the ultimate rom hack. I've got my own headcanon about characters, but I'd have Atropos, Taban, and a Reptite up there at least

It feels pretty basic at times but I like the positional importance. I always felt the game had this weird balance where enemy encounters are piss easy but some bosses are suddenly much harder. I'm not really familiar with it, as I've only played it once - and I got to the very end without finishing it. I just recently started a replay but with Chrono Trigger Plus.

I'm really surprised Square didn't keep going with Chrono Trigger's combat design as it seemed the most logical way to move the ATB into a 1:1 overworld without battle transitions. Should have moved in that direction vs what Cross did.
>>
>>741806928
pretty sure the devs said this was never meant to be a direct CT sequel so these interpretations don't make much sense
>>
>>741836542
The bottom three greentexts all directly happen in Chrono Cross itself?

The top one is from the slop DS bonus content that nobody likes that tried to tie the two games together so it's about as canon as Chrono Cross is. But it's not in Chrono Cross itself.
