Let's... Trigger the Chronos. (What if...)

[oldmanpaco]

So.. When does the awesome happen?

 

[Erebus]

Is Marle hiding something from us ?

I'm betting all my money on her being Crono's long-lost sister.

 

[RK47]

lol

no actually she's Crono's long lost father.

 

[Sceptic]

As I said in the first chapter, it's a retranslation. They've changed some of the names back to the jap originals.

Why some but not all? Marle wasn't called Marle in the original IIRC.

DU, here's your chance to get a huge donation to keep the 'dex running. Provided Erebus actually has any money

Marle's name is the same in the JAP version. The difference is in another "place"

 

[Damned Registrations]

Spoiler WTF? Marledia? Aside from that being a retarded name, how would the name Marle be a suitible fake for Marledia anyways? This isn't even like changing Robert to Bob stupid, it's Robert > Rob derp derp they'll never know it's me! Also why did I spoiler this. It's so fucking obvious.

I am not liking this retranslation. Bosch is a stupid name too.

 

[Radisshu]

Stop compaining about the retranslation, you faggots. You've probably all played the original version anyway.

The saddest part about these people reading this LP without playing the game is that they're missing out on the awesome music.

Also, no Chrono Trigger LP is complete without a video of the intro/trailer (minor spoilers, if you actually care):

And here's the animefag version from the Playstation port:

Agreed. You can listen to some of it here (youtube playlist). And Chrono Cross had good music, too - one of the few things I liked about the game. I actually listened to it regularly long before I ever played the game.

Edit: Oh man, these tracks really bring me back.
Secret of the Forest
Opening Theme
A Premonition
Wind Scene
Frog's Theme
The Brink of Time

 

[spekkio]

I was going to comment on the LP but decided to wait for the abandoning...

 

[ghostdog]

We're already past the page 3 milestone.

 

[spekkio]

We're already past the [...] milestone.

Not if OP is a shameless attentionwhore.

Re: Pic:

 

[ghostdog]

Throw at us all the minigames you want, square ! We endure. In enduring we grow strong. In growing strong we move on to the next chapter.

We're back at the fair.

Hope it doesn't suddenly go BOOM! like that other one did.

I hear ya, sister.

Isn't it about time for them to get ready ? It's way in the back of the square.

Hmmm, sounds interesting. Take me there, Crono !


Women. Ok let's head to the back to find Lucca...

Another incredibly important C&C moment is upon us, people ! If we move away while Marle is trying to decide what to buy, she'll not be happy. If we wait it out, we gain more "you may get lucky tonight" points ! This game is certainly realistic.

Gotcha.

Thanks for waiting, Crono !


The waiting is over. Time to see what this invention is all about.

It's the ultra dimensional Matter-Transfer Machine #1 !!

Incredible !

The one who invented this, is the clear-headed, gifted with both intelligence AND beauty, my one and only daughter, Lucca !


Let's see what the other attendants think about this.

Oh come on, what could possibly go wrong with such a device ?

Yeah, uh, let's talk to Lucca.

I was waiting for you ! No one will brave my Telepod's transmission.

...Wise people.

It looks fun ! Try doing it. I'll be watching !

Just get on the left pad.

Please ladies, let's be reasonable !


Damn, we're caught in the middle ! How safe is this device anyway ?

Cats ?! What about humans ?

We haven't tried it on humans yet...

...

Hey, relax and get on ! Get on !!


We're screwed. But Crono can't say no the only 2 girls he knows. Here goes nothing !

Energy loading beginning !


Beam me up Scotty.

Remarkable, we're still in one piece and the multiverse hasn't been destroyed.

How was it ? Were you surprised ? You can do it again, if you want.

Thanks, but no thanks.

It really worked ?! Even miracles can happ-

Huh ?

:c-cough: No, no, it's Lucca's invention, so naturally it's great, right ?!


Well, it seems that after all, the device is really working.

H-hold on, Crono. Just when did you seduce such a cute girl ?

Someone is jealous

Hey, you don't mind, right, Crono ? Wait here. Don't go anywhere !

Don't go away. I'll be right back !

...Is this okay ? If you're quitting now's the time for it.

No problem ! It's not like it's scary or anything.

Hmm ? What's that glimmer ?

What's this ? My pendant...

OH SHI-

...Things didn't go as planned.

Taban tries clumsily to cover it up.

Hey, Lucca ! What the hell's going on ? What happened to that girl ?!

The way that girl vanished isn't the way things vanish with the Telepod's transfer.

What should we do about helping her ?

That girl... Hm? Come to think of it, it feels like I've seen that girl somewhere...


Dat girl. Dat ass. There's only one thing to do. GO after her ! We head back to the telepod and grab the pendant.

Ohh ! So you mean you're going after her, Crono. What a fine lad !

Yes, brave and stupid.

That's right ! Though we don't know what's beyond that portal, it looks like there's no other way.

But the hole wont necessarily appear again for our convenience.

It's worth trying ! The pendant has definitely become the key ! Crono, hold on to it tight, and the same thing should definitely happen !

Yeah, assuming we don't end at the plane of Limbo or something.

The science is Fringe-worthy.

Holy shit ! Space Odyssey 2001 special effects !

Uh-oh...

[Silellak]

The nostalgiafag in me loves the moment when Crono grabs the pendant and steps on the teleporter pad with his theme playing in the background.

 

[Erebus]

Do we ever discover what's so special about the pendant or is it just a McGuffin to get the story going ? I can't remember...

Chrono Trigger's music is indeed very enjoyable (and much more memorable than what's found in many PC games...).

 

[Damned Registrations]

We get to find out where it's from, but we don't explicitly find out why it's all magical and shit as opposed to being just a piece of jewelry.

 

[ghostdog]

Chrono Trigger's music is indeed awesome. Check spoiler.

Spoiler

CT symphonic & original music : *http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ISOJRWU0

I think it's explained that the pendant is

Spoiler

made of the same red rock that the mammon machine was made of, that's why it could be charged with lavos's energy.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Update! Great!

More! Wanted!

 

[Crooked Bee]

 

[Radisshu]

lol @ the mentioning of C&C,

Spoiler

given how ridiculously superficial it is, since the trial is the spiritual predecessor to the NWN2 trial.

I still really like the game. Am I the only one who feels forced to grind to afford the Lode Sword Melchior/Basch sells in the beginning of the game, even though it's not even that much of a help?

EDIT: Spoiler correction

 

[ghostdog]

^ lol @ spoiler tag failure

Also, don't steal my lines from future updates !

Am I the only one who feels forced to grind to afford the Lode Sword Melchior/Basch sells in the beginning of the game, even though it's not even that much of a help?

Heh, I did the same the first time I played the game. Then I realized it was completely pointless.

 

[spekkio]

Good job dawg.
In before the Master of War.

 

[RK47]

The ending song is also fantastic. It's very rare for me to stay on after the game credits screen nowadays, but Chrono Trigger made me do it for some reason.
