Title: What's your favorite Chrono Trigger quote?
Post by: Lord J Esq on May 23, 2007, 09:14:40 am
What's your favorite quote from this very quotable game? Oh, and keep in mind that I left out Magus' line about laughing at fate for fear that it would steal the show. If you insist, though, you can vote for it by selecting "Other" and listing it in your reply. Other quotes not mentioned in the list are also welcome.

Difficult question...but I did chose

It all began aeons ago, when man's ancestors picked up a shard of a strange red rock…. Its power, which was beyond human comprehension, cultivated dreams…. In turn, love and hate were born…. Only time will see how it all ends.

because, well, it shows that love and hate coexist, and much more.

"All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu…. This is the truth! This is my belief! …at least for now."

Always has been and always will be my favourite.

Ayla fight while alive! Win and live. Lose and die. Rule of life. No change rule.

this quote shows how even ayla (that isn't even that smart, but extreemly helpful) care's for the sake of the planet even if it takes her life to save it. she wont back out in somthing she took promise too. that shows her honor.

P.s. the quote has honor but its iliterat. thats what i like about it.

I picked "Idiots...nothing can live forever". Having Magus come that far and finally get revenge on Queen Zeal was a treat.

This is a description of one of the core theme of the series, one which pervades both CT and CC.

I think there are far better Magus quotes throughout the game ("Shall we burn it?" for instance) that top that Catalak one...in fact, I don't understand having a lot of those quotes in the list...>_>

And that Ayla quote deserves the whole speech, I think, not just that bit...Maybe cause I love the part where she says "Old man breathe, but dead on inside."

Post by: Glennleo on May 26, 2007, 12:45:31 am
I chose other. See signature.

I dunno why I like it really. I guess because Glenn is my favorite character.

These lines sort of show the doubt Glenn has in himself. And I think with these lines he then begins to overcome his doubt and I really admire that about him.

We'd know about it. Any ROM hack with Schala as a party member would be big news for the Chrono community, seeing as how it is otherwise impossible to get her, as there is no code in the game anywhere that would allow a player to utilize Schala as a party member.

Post by: CyberSarkany on May 31, 2007, 04:04:00 pm
And, you can't beat the Queen in Zeal, anyways. You beat her at the Black Omen, or you beat Lavos at Zeal(which can even be done on a NG/nerd). Remember, the Queen only appears in the PD AFTER Lavos kicked you ass.

Out of those it is Ayla's quote. It is so profound and true even in such a basic form of English. I would have chosen "Lower thine guard..." but twas not to be on this poll.

From what I remember, a proper retranslation of what he says wouldn't have been as simple as 'like worms'...in Japanese, it uses a word that's kind of vague that just kind of means lowly bugs of some kind. This is only what I remember from one of the old Hyena20 (http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/snes/file/563538/25464) threads.

A few various Magus quotes~!

Magus: Except for you and I, this world is populated by cretins...

Magus: Say, can you hear that? It's the sound of the Reaper...

Magus (alternate translation): Do you hear that sound around you? It's the sound of the Black Wind...

Magus: Behold. Everything's at the bottom of the sea. Gone is the magical kingdom of Zeal, and all the dreams and ambitions of its people. I once lived there...But I was another person then.

Magus: ...Ever since Lavos's time portal stranded me in the Middle Ages...I have waited to even the score. You interrupted me just when I had summoned Lavos to my castle. How ironic that, having been drawn into yet another portal, I would end up in this age. Being from the future, my knowledge of the past enabled me to convince the Queen that I was a mighty oracle. But no history book could have prepared me for what happened here. Unimaginable is the power of Lavos. Anyone who dares to oppose...it...meets certain doom. At this rate, you too, will meet a hideous fate. Just like that poor fool, Crono!

Magus: He's history! Play with fire and you get burned.

Magus: Neuga, ziena, zieber, zom...Now the chosen time has come...Exchange this world for...!

Magus: Ah! The Masamune! I bet you're just dying to use it. Okay! Give me your best shot! If you're prepared...for the void!

And, just for kicks, a disturbing bit of the RPGOne retranslation of FFVI!

Relm: What's wrong, randy man?
Edgar: How old are you?
Relm: Ten. Strange old man. Relm is coming, too.
Edgar: That's just criminal......Don't even think of it.

I had to go with the "Mine name is Glenn" quote. There are so many good quotes in the Chrono series, but I used this one in a desktop wallpaper I made a while ago. Staring at it all the time has definitely turned it into one of my favorites.

I voted for the Glenn quote as a single line, but I just love Frog and Magus' back and forth in the alternate ending. "But there is some merit to fighting you......!"

Unfortunately, I felt the Glenn one was a better single line.
Title: Re: What's your favorite Chrono Trigger quote?
Post by: Katie Skyye on July 12, 2008, 01:47:23 pm
Out of the ones there, I chose "Heal-thy? Got a nice ring to it!" because I've always liked that quote...Imagine a time when things are so bad that people don't even know what it means to be well! But Marle and Crono brought hope to the people in 2300 AD.

My favorite quote is between Frog and Ayla, though:

Ayla: Yummy frog. Ayla eat?
Frog: P-perish the thought, lass! By the way, whither be the blue-haired one?
Ayla: Why, blue-haired one better to eat?

Thank you J. I've been here for over a year now and I haven't seen this topic yet.

After reading through all of them, one of them gave me goosebumps: "Mine name is Glenn..." and therefore deserves my vote.

But if I had to pick my favorite of all time it would be: "...You got whacked 'cuz you're weak." Probably the most out of character statement I've ever seen from Magus, very memorable though.

Holy hot hell how did I miss this?  Always dug Azala'a line about time siding with the apes or something to that effect, but my fave was always

"This creature sleeps beyond the flow of time."

Post by: ZaichikArky on July 29, 2010, 09:34:31 pm
Mine is that Glenn quote, and it makes me cry every single time XD;, but also his very first line in the Woolsey version : "Lower thine guard, and thou'rt allowing the enemy in".

My other one is from Lucca. "We're from way after the day after tomorrow." For some reason, that one makes me laugh every time. ''

Have you guys seen this? http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Chrono_Trigger . Excellent : D.  Though it's missing some good ones. Maybe there is a way to edit that, since it has the wiki name attached to it.

"All who fear the night and stand against the darkness... Please give us strength!"

I think that one is Marle's, but other characters have an slightly different version, this one is my favorite. Even thought I usually prefer Lucca being the one that hugs Crono at death peak, I'll totally bring Marle just to have that line.
