Happy Birthday, Chrono Trigger!
It's hard to believe that Chrono Trigger turns 24 this year. A quarter of a century later, the game continues to inspire with colorful characters, an engaging story, and time travel shenanigans. Even though the IP remains dormant by SquareEnix, the fandom is alive in well here at the Compendium and across the web.
And for Chrono Trigger's 24th birthday, our current Architect of Kajar, IHBP, gives us a very exciting gift! After toiling in the depths of Kajar Laboratories for some time, we finally have the official release of Chrono Trigger Plus 2.0!
This exciting new enhancement of Chrono Trigger includes a plethora of bug fixes, new locations, and even guest party members.

The enhancements include:
- All 1999 is explorable, and the small part that was previously available is improved as well.
- You can now acquire the ability to go to 1999 via Epoch, however only from the End of Time and only to a set location. Later versions will allow it on the world map but I'll need time to readjust the tile properties.
- Tons of bugs have been fixed including all known ones related to Magus on the Blackbird.
- Added a few flavor scenes.
- End of Time is expanded.
- Crossing Lab 32 on foot is now longer and has some story.
- New area in 2300ad where Porre used to be.
- A few scenes now feature the entire recruited party rather than just the three current members.
- Possibility of acquiring the Speed shoes that allow 50% faster running
- Can now buy a drone that will join you in battle as a sort of AI party member.
