General Discussion / Someone at SE hasn't forgot about Chrono...
« on: April 13, 2011, 05:46:03 am »
Maybe old and I can't get into specifics because I'm mobile but the new Dissidia has quite a few Chrono item references like Prismatic Helmet, Prism Spectacles, and the Shockwave.

General Discussion / PC GPU Upgrade question for the tech savvy
« on: September 19, 2010, 02:56:56 am »
Hey guys need some advice. Here's my pc(don't laugh, i'm broke lol)
AMD Athalon II X2 240 2.8GHZ
5GB Ram
500gb SATA HDD
Ati Radeon HD 4350 >>> Ati Radeon HD 5770(just ordered it)
Here's my question, do I need a bigger PSU? Currently I have a 250W but concerned that it might not be enough but I don't have the cash on hand atm to upgrade. Is it safe to play?
Also I did a test on a website http://www.extreme.outervision.com/PSUEngine that recomends 258W are these online calculators accurate?

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / 2300 A.D. World Map
« on: August 04, 2010, 06:11:17 pm »
Hey guys, sorry if this has already been answered before, but I tried doing a search on my iphone but the results wouldn't load correctly. I was talking to a friend of mine a few minutes ago and he told me someone mentioned to him that you take damage over time on the 2300 world map, is this true? I can't check it out atm, I'm in a hotel for 3 days attending classes for a new job. All the years I have played/owned this game I never heard of this feature.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / NTSC FMV Framerate Issue.
« on: February 16, 2007, 12:03:12 am »
For awhile now I always thought the japanese release of chronicles had better quality FMVs, and finally have found proof! Many of you may already know this, but just pointing it out to anyone who doesn't.
"Chrono Trigger, apparently now part of the Final Fantasy canon, is the other title in the Chronicles collection. As Square's final Super Nintendo to PlayStation port, it is clearly more enhanced. The graphics and sound are much more faithful to the original Super Nintendo version. The game itself has over 15 minutes of new FMV sequences commissioned especially for the remake, as well as a comprehensive Extras mode. Getting one of the game's many endings will unlock sound test songs, a theater full of FMVs, as well as a comprehensive Bestiary, an interactive list of Double and Triple Techs, map and item lists for each time period, and more. Chrono Trigger was already blessed with extensive replay value; the new extras are an overabundance of riches.
But every silver lining has a cloud, and Chrono Trigger's emulation issues are easily the more serious of the two titles. While Final Fantasy IV's battles come up just as quickly as the original Super Nintendo's, Chrono Trigger's are marred by a second or two of loading. It's not anything game-destroying, but it's enough to disorient fans who are familiar with the Super Nintendo version's instant battles. Menus are also curiously slow, and simply equipping and dequipping your characters can become tedious. The U.S. version of Chrono Trigger also has an issue not present in the Japanese version: skipping, jerky FMVs. Whereas the Japanese PlayStation version ran smooth as silk, the U.S. movies play like every third frame is missing. Despite these somewhat serious sounding issues, however, the game is still completely playable, and the extensive extras more than counterbalance the slight inconvenience."

Chrono Compendium Discussion / Doreen
« on: February 04, 2007, 10:31:18 pm »
I was reading a post the other day about Zelbess not having her own spot in the encyc. and it got me thinking about Doreen in Chrono Cross. She does talk to Masa & Mune and even fuse with them to form the Mastermune right? Then why doesnt she get her own encyc. reference in the Chrono Cross section? Or even be mentioned to appear in her Trigger section.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / CT Status Screen Diffrences
« on: January 24, 2007, 07:55:10 am »
All these years I have owned both versions of Chrono Trigger(SNES and PSX Port) and something had always seemed diffrent to me. Considering that most everyone thinks its a straight port(with added FMV's , bonus content) but In game nothing changed right? Well I don't know if anyone else has noticed but I finally found something that makes them diffrent. Look at the screenshot below and notice where Crono's HIT stat is located and then look at the same screen on PSX. HIT is the top right stat. I know this is only a minor change but still makes the PSX version diffrent.(sorry for lack of PSX picture)

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / New Chrono Game...
« on: January 16, 2007, 05:11:44 pm »
I have been thinking alot lately, and as much as I would love a new Chrono game, what on earth would it be about? The dimensions have been restored and Lavos/TD have been destroyed. I mean what else could Crono and crew or new people have to do? Another lavos spinoff would just be rehashing CT's plot. Maybe a side story for Magus, or Schala finding Serge but both would be bland IMO. And the main theme of the series is traveling through time/dimensions. Kinda like how I feel about Wild Arms. After the first one the rest were like, man this has been done 4 times already o.Owhat else can they do. I would love to hear everyone's opinion on where the series is headed regarding side storys, spin offs, or sequel/prequels.

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Lazy party members?
« on: November 14, 2006, 07:24:35 am »
Ok recently I had made a post about Gaspar obviously being able to see events and such from the end of time. Well when the team is thrown into prison in Zeal by Dalton, why do the others waiting at the end of time not come and rescue you? Im sure if Gaspar could see side quests, why coudn't he have thrown something at another party member and told them to get to 12,000 B.C. because the boy who has the fate of the world in his hands is floating in a tube.Because the gates had yet to be sealed and the skyway was still open right?

Lavos, the Planet, and other Entities / The name Lavos?
« on: November 14, 2006, 07:11:19 am »
This might have been discussed already but I can't find anything on it. I understand Ayla calls "it" lavos because its look as a red falling star/flame "La means fire, Vos means big"(or the other way around >.< can't remember) But why does Zeal and others call it Lavos when they have no idea what it looks like or anything seeing as "it" never awakened before the destruction of Zeal. 
Could Ayla and others really have passed it down all those thousands of years:?:

I am sorry that I must simply
witness the coming spectacle from
my vantage point here...
Does this necessarily mean he can actually watch any time period or specific events from the pillar of lights? Seeing as he can tell you about sidequests in diffrent periods I'm guesing he can.
