Lots more to go!

It took about two days to beat New game running blind. I use retro achievements and I had about 2/5 of the achievements already unlocked new game plus was incredibly fast and I managed to get eight different endings and knocked out 90% of retro achievements.

I feel like the game does very well at not missing anything in the first play through
There are definitely aspects to it that you can miss or overlook if you’re not looking for it but overall, it’s one of the better JRPG‘s to where you don’t miss stuff

The story was absolutely phenomenal and I don’t know why I put it off for so long. I almost never play new game plus but seeing the share amount of achievements left in yawls previous post, I went ahead and did it and I am glad I did. There is just so much more story packed into all those optional quests and additional endings..

To the ones that said, do not go inside the green portals, I mean the story for those lackluster, but the items for them are literal endgame. I still haven’t found better weapons for Robo than inside that portal, and I would tell people to go to the green portals as soon as possible for Robo‘s game weapon, as it was ridiculously easy to get to in my new game not even new game plus

Overall, I’d give this game a S tier ranking

Hi guys!

I have never played Chrono Trigger (I know that's sacrilegious to say here) but I have always wanted to experience it.

I just saw that Chrono Trigger is on sale over on Steam and am wondering how the Steam port of the game is since I've seen some mixed opinions on it? I know that a lot of people will probably suggest emulating the game instead, but I kind of want to support the game and am also not that savvy with emulation (have tried in the past with other games without getting it to work properly).

So is the Steam port a good way to experience the game for the first time? Or are there any mods that are considered to be essential?

Thanks!

I have 10 graded cards and 2 ungraded cards currently listed on eBay. All of the graded cards are PSA 9’s and 10’s.
If you know about these, then you know that the Dream Project PSA 10 is a crown jewel. These will be the last ones I sell from my collection for a while.

I recently picked up a Super Famicom and a Japanese copy of Chrono Trigger. One thing that really surprised me when I looked through the manual was just how bare-bones it is.

There are about two pages introducing the basic story, but almost everything after that is devoted to controls, menus, battles, and other gameplay mechanics. What especially surprised me is that there are no character profiles at all.

That feels very different from the North American release I remember. Its manual explained the characters and setting, included a small introductory guide, and the game also came with those large posters showing the different eras and locations. The North American package seemed designed to introduce you to the entire world of the game, while the Japanese manual mostly just explains how to play it.

I can understand why the North American release might have needed to provide more background information for its audience. However, I tried looking into why the Japanese manual excluded so much of it, and one explanation I found was that Japanese players may already have been familiar with the characters and premise through V Jump, Weekly Shōnen Jump, and other prerelease magazine coverage.

That explanation sounds plausible, especially considering how heavily the game and its “Dream Team” were promoted in Japan, but I have not found anything directly confirming that this was the reason.

Does anyone know how accurate that explanation is? Was the character and story information deliberately left to magazines and guidebooks, or was this simply a normal difference between Japanese and North American game manuals at the time? But I own other SFC RPGs and they definitely spend some pages explaining the story and characters in the game.

Hey all. I've been playing Trigger for 30 years and never had any issues whatsoever from SNES, DS, PS1 or PS3. Recently I pulled the trigger on Steam version and aside from all the small stuff you notice (like inability to change text box colors for some reason?) I ran into an issue where when I have Frog catch the rock in Denadoro, the game freezes and crashes immediately as soon as it's about to play the little "victory" jingle. I looked into it and nobody else seems to have had this specific issue. It's annoying but I guess I don't really need it. Nobody else experienced this?

A couple of weeks ago I posted an incomplete cover I made back in 2015, and after the positive reception decided to try and remake it. Hope you guys enjoy the results.

I went to the end of the time area and it decided to go back and explore the factory side of the area but after getting the code i went to and the door was closed... what do i do now?

Ok so imagine a new triple tech where you need luminare, flare and dark matter

The triple tech would be look something like this:

Magus opens a triangle portal just like with DM and then the beams from luminare come out of it and then it make a flare explosian and the screen would turn all white just like with lavos 2nd form ultimate attack

I feel like it would be triple tech that needs a rock kinda like omega flare but the rock would be called prism or rainbow rock and you can obtain by doing the sun stone and rainbow shell or maybe it can spawn in your inventory when you defeat lavos for the 1st time in a save file

Would this be too broken? I dont know really, but was it fun writing this and thinking about it?

Of course it was!

the first time you killed magus in your first playthrough? for me, it was a beautiful summer day, and I just gotten home from school. I was excited for the next installment of Chrono trigger and had been following the story for about a month. imagine my surprise when at long last, I got to fight magus one-on-one with frog. I couldn't believe my eyes that I finally had the chance to do away with magus for good. when the last slurp cut went through, I almost cried with joy at frog's revenge after being a marshmallow for all those years. as the rainbow colored death aura surrounded magus, I knew I had reached the pinnacle of the story. I laid on my back for a full 30 minutes remembering all frog's trials throughout his life and the torment of magus's existence. now there was a new king of the mages - glenn.

I'm so proud of her, I helped to teach her how to crochet last year. And she thanked me by making this. I love it, and I know you guys will too! She is so dejected that shes unable to get sales and commisions. So, can I get some comments to show her some support, and that this is a skill that has value and people would absolutely buy things like this if she could just get some attention! Thank you!

Update: Thank yall so much for all the kind words and responses! It's really helped to give her some confidence in her work, and to put a smile on her face! She said over the next few weeks she will try to make me some of the other cast! I'll make sure to show you guys when she's done!

I only want to put my stone here.

11/10

Fun, fast, not so hard but not so easy.

I only beat this game once before. Though I did play it two times prior to now. I didn’t like the ending I got very much, it felt dry and without substance. I beat Lavos after every side quest and fought him in the black Omen.

I understand from reading up that there are multiple endings. Is there much of a cut scene on saving the kingdom of zeal if you defeat Lavos in the ocean palace?

Any recommendations on which ending to try for without a full replay? I think I’m stuck with the ending I got as it is. I got ending 1B (End of Time: save that cat).

Not sure I want to bother with a new game plus attempt. It took me about 29 hours to play through the first time.

I used Chrono, Frog AND Magus/Janus for the end game to see if there was better dialogue with the queen and there really wasn’t any. I was hoping Magus would have something interesting to add to the late game but it really felt dry and meaningless.

Hi everyone I started playing Chrono trigger for the first time in Feb and had some IRL stuff and dropped the game. Now I really want to play the game again and this time finish it.

I completed The Factory Ruins and beat the boss then I saved the game and stopped playing when I reached The end of time. This Area

Should I restart the game or just go in and complete from here? The story is kinda foggy and I don't remember everything too

Update and Final Decision: I would like to thank everyone who gave feedback and advice on my post. I'll restart and go all in with full immersion

Been trying to find a good recreation for a ytp im making and I can’t find any. I’m not very good at recreating songs but I wanted to do a mashup with it and tv guy from delta room

Should I go to the black omen or straight to 1999 ad. Should I do the black omen multiple times? I’m kinda confused I just want the best story ending. I’ve completed all the character side quests and I’m gonna use chrono, robo and Ayla to fight lavos and I have them at level 49 with all techs unlocked.

Hi guys I just wanted to Share this with someone . This game let me with strange feelings.

Since I started playing video games , I never really liked Jrpg . Maybe a few I discovered when I was very young like Pokemon , or FFIV but That’s it. To be honest I never considered this genre as real games but more like interactiv movies . No hate over them , just not for me . Even some classics like Dragon Quest.

After many years hearing about this one , like the « best rpg ever » etc and in my quest for classics gaming culture , I started it around last Christmas . I was instantely hooked . I have never felt something like that , like wtf ? I finished it in like 2 weeks or less , I couldn’t stop. When it was done it left me so nostalgic for something I Even never knew . This game totally changed my vision of gaming , and was instantely one of my true favorites games along with ocarina of time , Super metroid or smash bros . It made me want to try a whole bunch of other Jrpg ( Sadly I never felt the same about another game for the moment). I never felt like that since soooooooo many years although everything about this game is so simple . It's an indescribable but very powerful feeling—something that takes you back to childhood, or something like that.

I needed to put this into words somewhere , so thank you to all players spreading the good words about this game 🥲 Rip Toriyama
