I'm surprised there wasn't a dedicated thread for these games. Anyway, let's post about Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, and Radical Dreamers here.
>>3883809you first faggot.
Actually I have a lore question I hope someone can answer. In Chrono Trigger, why does Lavos awaken twice? It destroyed Zeal in 12,000 BC, but why did it wake up again in 1999, and what was it doing in all those years in between?
>>3883867Lavos wakes early in 12,000 BC because the Mammon Machine was absorbing its power in such close proximity and at such high capacity.
>>3883809I just could never bring myself care about anything beyond the OG Chrono Trigger. I don't know why it always seemed badly designed and developed after the miracle that was the first game.Everything in your pic just screams generic moeshit at me for example which is also largely why I quit paying attention to anime between 2000-2005 as the pedos seemed to take over with moeshit everything. I'm not into little girls nor do I want to fuck my sister, like do we really need that shit in anime and please can it go away already for more things like Attack on Titan or even Karakuri Circus? They look nothing like CT designs IMO.
>>3883809>I'm surprised there wasn't a dedicated thread for these games.
Chomo Trigger
>>3883809Homo Nigger is the only good game in the series
>>3883887I'm talking to the mods right now and you're going to get a big ban for this one
Chrono Trigger was a decent game, but nothing special.Radical dreamers wasn't very good ,writing wise.Chrono cross as a complete failure that tried to reinvent the wheel.The entire series is overrated.
>>3884000>Chrono Trigger was a decent game, but nothing special.For the time it absolutely was a huge deal and a massive achievement. Even to this day it's a tightly and well executed game across the board.It was also the game that popuilarized NG+ and is to this one of the games that did it best and for the right reasons.
Ok,can anyone provide clear instructions on getting all characters on a single save file? I managed to do it, but in the last save file I got, the Harlequin was missing somehow. I don't mind playing the game again in the future, even though it crashed about 30 times, going back to the launcher instead of the game just closing itself meant it was easy to just go back in regardless of the crashes.
>>3883873it's the lack of Toriyama
>>3884025To get Harle back, you must first beat the game while she's still in your party (so on new game +). Then, in your next playthrough, when you summon all the characters through the spatial distortion, she'll be returned to your party.
The black wind howls.... As much as I love cross them not actually explicitly making guile magus really annoyed me, especially since they had that one scene where lucca left behind a letter for janus.
So after chrono got done in by the porre firing squad did they rape nadia or did they give her a humane execution
Cross:>had far too many characters, and you recruit them and lose them at such an absurd pace, very few get any room to breathe>disc 2 is offensively unfinished, and should have a bad reputation for this in the same vein Xenogears does
>>3884357>disc 2 is offensively unfinished, and should have a bad reputation for this in the same vein Xenogears doesI wouldn’t say disc 2 is unfinished; it’s just rushed. And it is not nearly as bad as Xenogears. The reason why Xenogears’ second disc has the reputation it does is because, by drastically reducing the actual gameplay, it becomes a VN with the occasional boss fight. For as flawed as Cross’ second disc is, it still plays exactly like the first disc with allowing the player to roam the world map freely and traverse dungeons.
>>3884393There is 5 hours of content on disc 2, with massive exposition dumps in both dungeons.It's garbage.
>>3884027RIP King.
>>3883809I hate that Chrono cross last act made people forget that anything until the end of the lynx arc is 10/10 Kino.Beeing sent to a world where you are dead,Beeing forced to become the BBEG while Harle switches sides and keeps telling you to just embrace Beeing lynx.There’s a lot of melancholy but it’s set to a backdrop of a peak comfy tropical paradise.No other game managed this sort of feeling for me >inb4 muh nostalgiaPlayed it for the first time last year.
>>3884318Raped in front of Crono before he was killed.
>>3884318>>3884534Is there actually confirmation in-game that Crono is dead? Isn't it possible that Porre took over and Crono and Co. just went into hiding?
>>3884658Lucca is confirmed dead. Crono and Marle might have gone into hiding, but then killed by Lynx before he found Lucca. Guardia was destroyed by Porre before Lynx kidnapped Lucca or did both events happen at the same time?
>>3883809>>3884357The problem with this game is that there were too many characters and we didn't get to focus on character development as much as we should have. Honestly reading about that Magus thing pissed me off; we could have had it if we didn't have such a large party.>>3884000>Chrono Trigger was a decent game, but nothing special.Now sure, but in 95' it was the bee's knees.What else was there back then? Mario RPG, and Seiken Densetsu 3 were released that year, but still. >>3884027RIP, I think he had his hands tied with trying to launch a new manga or doing art for Tobal and DQ seven at that time.
>>3883873> anime between 2000-2005 as the pedos seemed to take over with moeshitI thought that moeshit tookover around 07'ish
>>3884908If it were up to me, the ideal smaller party for CC would be:-Serge / Lynx-Kid-Harle-Leena-Karsh-Glenn-Norris-Fargo-Riddel
>>3884938all pretty plot relevant, we didn't need Karsh/Riddel I mean, just knowing that we patched things up them after the hunting and manner incident would be good enough. With Luccia being revealed as a Lucca in hiding would have been amazing.
>make a sequel to a beloved game>main cast doesn't returnWhy do they always do this?
>>3884938I'd go for:>Serge>Kid>Leena>Nikki (change to black element)>Glenn (change to yellow element)>RazzlyAnd the party that joins post-transformation:>Lynx>Harle>Radius>Norris>Irenes or Fargo>Starky>Leah (change to red element)>Steena (change to black element)Ultimately gives you two of each element, and gives you characters at a reasonable enough pace to accommodate the story.
>>3884526I never played it, played OG Chrono Trigger, owned it when it was out and everything. My ex liked Chrono Cross and wanted me to play it but I ignored her.Should I try it?
>>3885003Idk.Most people that like trigger hate it because how different it is and because of a bit at the end.I’d say if you’re ready to approach it as its own and you are the kind of person that can accept vibes transmitted through music, atmosphere and game mechanics over written dialogue then I’d say hell yeah go for it.Just note that my rating for the game basically ignores the last part because it was rushed and it shows
>>3883923CLUSSY
>>3885000Keeping Nikki is the way.Good job anon
>>3885003Definitely give it a try. CC is a pretty good JRPG in its own right, even if it’s not a very good sequel to Trigger.
>>3884972Cross did it worse because the cast of Trigger got fucked over:Crono and Marle - died when Dalton got Porre to overthrow GarudaLuca - murdered by LinxRobo - was the AI for the lock of the door of Fate that got deletedMagus - implied to be Guile
>>3884972Worked for FF, DQ, Pokemon, Atlus games in general. I think it's hard to justify a returning cast in an RPG because why would they be at level 1 again?
>>3885133It can work.>Arc the Lad 2levels carry over>NIS gamesReturn as lvl 1000+ post game bosses or some fucky spell reduces their level like Etna in Disgaea 2>Kingdom HeartsSora got drained a couple of times like when Roxas got extracted from him or the corruption in Dream Drop Distance and had to level up again.>Worked for FF, DQThose were all different worlds >, Pokemon, They do show up from time to time.
>>3883923>>3885044never understood the clussy thing till I played this game.
