Under picture 1 - Bonus include brand-new dungeons and a multiplayer arena!

Under picture 2 - Timeless gameplay feels fresher than ever before!

As far as I know, the English text is exactly the same in both versions! Therefore I imported the Japanese version.

the japanese version does have english text, but unlike the USA version, you can't name Crono, Chrono.
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Dark Serge on November 27, 2008, 06:47:28 pm

Has that been confirmed yet? As I previously stated, in Chrono Cross you can't give Serge typically any name you want, specifically Crono or Chrono. I'd like a definite Yes or No answer whether you can actually name Crono "Chrono" or not in the USA version.

As for the script, why would that be different in the USA version? I doubt they would do a different translation just for the USA version.
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Shadow D. Darkman on November 27, 2008, 07:27:11 pm
The DS version has a retranslated English script compared to the SNES/PSX version. It would be the same English script if compared between Japanese and American DS version.
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Dark Serge on November 27, 2008, 07:43:32 pm
To clear this up, I'll get the USA rom and put it on my DS myself to determine this now. Whether or not you can give Chrono his appropiate name, that is.
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Matt72 on November 27, 2008, 07:44:00 pm
Now you've got me curious. =D What two songs come with the CD?
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Dark Serge on November 27, 2008, 08:02:42 pm
Yeah, you can name Chrono "Chrono". Finally we can name him Chrono. Unfortunately I don't feel like playing through it all again just for the name change. Aside from that, the USA rom also has the goddamned copyright protection, and it needs a different code then the japanese version to unlock it. The english script is the same, as expected. Also, on my rom was no option whatsoever at all to change to another language. English only.

Post by: Nexus on November 27, 2008, 08:07:14 pm
Yep for those who have the USA version of the game can only play in English. I wonder why they decided to remove the option to play the in Japanese if you really wanted to.

Maybe you have to hold down a certain button. That's how you got Japanese vocals (still English text) in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

So... I just got to the End of Time in my copy.  The nostalgia of playing this game is awesome.

And I love the Arena of Ages...  My guy is beastly.  I'm at 20 wins.  But I have the feeling it's not that hard to lose...
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy
Post by: Dark Serge on November 27, 2008, 08:30:32 pm
Well I removed the copyright protection, seems those clever guys already made a patch. Anyway, can't find any interesting changes. But it seems that if your DS language is french, Chrono Trigger (U) will be french as well. Tested and confirmed. However, any other language you set your DS to, including japanese, will just result in CT being english.

That's right.

Is seems that there are some differences between CTDS JP and US.
In the US version you don't have the option to change the language in the settings menue.

That is quite odd do they think we wouldn't like an option to switch it into Japanese if we wanted to? After all it took extra work to remove it so I wonder why they bothered to do that in the first place.

Fun little bit about the Japanese copy that I noticed.

I left Crono's name in katakana, and left everyone elses' names in English (Playing the game in English). But Ayla still calls him クロ.

Random, but just thought I'd mention it. Didn't expect the English option to include that. Haha.

I don't think it will make a difference. Crono, after all, is the only one Ayla calls different in Japanese.

Schala: sorry to hear that. :/   I was broke when the game came out, but I have an ass-ton of NES games...   or should say "had".  traded them in for it the day it came out. ^^  Not to worry, it was minor stuff. And Kirby's Adventure (A necessary sacrifice. every boost in dough helps, besides the game bores me anyway...   sorry Maggiekarp x.x) But, it was worth it, at least for the new ending and just having the game portable. Some day, Magus...   some day you'll succeed...

Actually, I was pretty much telling P.S.Z. that I had the same problem, namely getting CTDS for X-Mas rather than now, when we both happen to want it, albeit for a different reason, hers being debt, mine being that my folks want to get it for me for X-Mas.

Calling someone "childish" is not something to be taken lightly, so excuse me for thinking that I might not be the only one you say this to.

 Just got the "Forgotten past" ending (the part with Ayla is cute and funny). I plan on just moving up and capping Lavos every time it yields a new ending. This is how far up the chain I am. Next, the ending with Frog and Jacky fighting. It helps that Robo has Armageddon arm from the 2300 vortex. You guys have GOTTA find this thing, and give him a dragon pierce/tear while you're at it. You won't regret it. FALCON PAAAWWNCH!!

lol, try telling Crono that in Mortonhayle's parody of the game. This isn't the first time he makes life miserable for Janus. and he's well convinced he has a shot with Schala. In the end, even she turns on him, and the only girl he's met thus far that he doesn't end up hating is Marle.

Just give it a Feral Claw every time you send it out till it learns one.
Title: Re: Just Got My Copy

Just give it a Feral Claw every time you send it out till it learns one.

That will make it change into another creature not learn a tech. I think the best way is to save before you attempt to teach it any elemental tech. If it fails load the save before you sent it out and try again. I managed to get mine to learn three of them quite quickly doing this. Also it seems you can only have three elemental techs in case you are wondering.
