Title: Birthday Date Clarification
Post by: ZeaLitY on August 24, 2005, 06:36:22 pm: Hey, I won't be posting this on the site just yet. Anyway, as you know, Square lists the official release date of Chrono Trigger as being September 1st or 11th, can't remember. Additionally, many people believe it was released on September 29th. However, it still stands that copies were at least available in SOME parts of the US starting in August, and this old newsgroup post corroborates the August 21st/22nd timeframe:

So yeah, even if it wasn't formally released everywhere yet, it got to gamers in August.

This item, shown on CuteLucca's site, is a promotional poster, which was displayed in stores prior to the game's official release. I'm siding with what it says.

32 megs, mode-7 special effects, incredible animated attacks and spells, time travel meets sci-fi fantasy.

It's just so special.

I don't think CuteLucca would ever get rid of that poster.

Post by: Claado Shou on August 28, 2005, 11:42:08 am: Whatever. Chrono Symphonic is still being released on the 27th, so that's the date I'm sticking with.

And actually, that poster is so rare even CuteLucca doesn't have it. She says she's seen it on eBay once, and it went for $140. o_O

Nope, the 27th. Tuesday, September 27th. That's the date.

Is that BAD?
