Chrono Cross Modification / Grobyc's 3D Model Wanted
« on: January 22, 2009, 03:30:24 pm »
Hi there! o/
Well, what I'm looking for is something like this:
http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Sergemodel.png.html
Grobyc's 3D models, in a way I can clearly see his front, back, right and left sides. High resolution like that one of Serge, IF possible.
It's because I've been thinking of making a cosplay and that cyborg is the character I would mostly like to try. The problem is I can't find images that show well important stuff, like the tattoo on his right arm, the red symbol on his left hand and, most of all, his back.
My PS is broken, so I can't even play and check for details. I've already found a few videos of battles with him on youtube, but youtube's image quality isn't the best, and a non-moving picture would be nice.
If nobody can get a model, good screenshots will also help, I'll be grateful for anything I get.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Chinese Chrono Trigger for NES! (updated with the ROM)
« on: June 10, 2008, 08:25:54 pm »
I'm posting it at the risk of such subject having already been discussed in these forums, considering this is a huge center of the Chrono series knowledge and that I may be just out of date with news, although I've never ever heard, seen or read anything about this.
Oh well, yesterday I bought a magazine called GameMaster (I believe it exists only in Brazil and, apparently, somewhere in Europe). There was an article in it which discussed about the Chinese video game market, focusing on the bizarre evolutions piracy has suffered in the last decades at those lands. There are plenty of games and videogames that have been cloned and/or remade for Chinese audiences. Seems like one example is Chrono Trigger.
A softhouse called Shenzhen Nanjing Technology, founded in 2002, owner of more than 70 games by now, made a few bizarre adaptations of games for NES, including Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Chrono Trigger itself. That's because, from what I understood, a NES cartridge there costs US$ 1 and not all Chinese families would be capable of affording much more.
I've also searched on google and found this page with many screenshots: http://www.geocities.jp/rinkaku89/pachigame3/65_fc_chrono.html
Attention to the last screenshot of the page, depicting an epic battle between Crono (I guessed it was him) and a mostly fearsome enemy!
You'll also find more images of other adaptations on the links by the left.
So... Bizarre, ain't it? Yeah. But it still doesn't change the fact that I want that ROM. Strange, ain't it? =/
At least, I finally found the reason for why I've been going to mandarin classes for almost 4 months. =)

Fan Fiction / Fritz Chronicles (Please, criticize!)
« on: June 08, 2008, 06:13:28 pm »
Summary: You remember when Crono freed Fritz from the guillotine, right? Well, this is a short story about how he got there, after a small travel around the world.
ONE-SHOT! ONE CHAPTER! ONE READ! IT'S FAST!
Any comments and/or critics are welcome!
(Notes about the text on the bottom)
Fritz was running through the fields of Guardia. Was he desperate? Yes. Happy? For sure! He couldn't believe he had escaped from the castle's jail. Fritz ran more than ever, hoping that no guards would be following him.
Arriving in Truce, there was almost nobody on the streets. He stopped running to call less attention, but still walked fast. “What a desert! People must all be at the Fair”, Fritz thought while approaching his home. “Finally! Now I can eat some descent food, sleep somewhere softer than rock... Oh God, thank you!”
The youngster saw the plate “Truce Market” marking his Father's shop, which was also his home. With a smile on the face, he walked to the door. However, something stopped him. He remembered going back home was not an option, at least not for now. “Bye food. Bye bed.” Fritz sadly moved away from the shop and made his way around the block, so his father wouldn't see him through the window.
“Maybe Elaine is still waiting for me”, he thought and went to the harbor, hoping his girlfriend was there. The harbor was on the other side of the town, therefore he took some time to reach it. When he arrived already exhausted at the ticket office...
Elaine: FRITZ!!!
She was there, waiting for her boyfriend. Sitting on a bench, she seemed a little upset. Elaine stood up and went on his direction.
Elaine: I've been waiting for you for days! I thought you would come back sooner. You could have told me you would take so much time and… Oh Fritz! When was the last time you took a bath?
Elaine moved back and shaked her hands around her nose. His lack of hygiene was notable even a few meters away. The tickets man had put a sign saying “closed” over the balcony and went to the back of the office seconds after Fritz came in.
Fritz: So many things happened, Elaine. We have to talk.
Elaine: Ha, yeah, sure! First you abandon me like that and then you wanna talk? Hunf!
Fritz: I'm serious, Elaine. Please.
She looked him in the eyes. Tiny little eyes like those of a poor ownerless hungry dog, left aimlessly with nobody to love or to receive love from, all alone in a huge cruel world, desperately hoping for…
Elaine: AH, ALRIGHT! Just stop looking me like that…
Fritz: Nice Let's talk outta here, somewhere else.
They left the Ticket Office, whose owner soon came back to work with every door and window opened, as well as an on ventilator. Elaine and Fritz walked to downtown.
Elaine: So let's g home, you'll take a shower and
Fritz: No! We can't go home.
Elaine: Why not?
Fritz: I'll explain. Let's go to the inn. There we can eat and talk in peace. Actually, I'm starving!
Elaine: What about your baggage?
Fritz: Patience, Elaine. Now, to the inn.
Elaine was anxious, impatient, curious and also hungry, for she hadn't eaten yet. She had been waiting for her boyfriend almost the whole day at the Ticket Office. The inn wasn't too far, so they arrived quickly. Aside offering hosting services for travelers, the inn also had a small snack bar. Fritz was about to enter, but…
Elaine: Er, honey… I think we'd better sit on a table here outside.
Fritz: Uh, why?
Elaine: Because, if you get in there… Well, you'll make everyone get out. That's the truth.
Fritz: ¬¬ OK, I stay here. Then you go inside and order two jerkies.
Elaine: But I don't eat jerky.
Fritz: I know, they're both for me, you order whatever you want.
Elaine rolled the eyes and entered to make the orders, while Fritz sit down at a table in the open air. A few minutes later she came back and sit in front of him.
Elaine: Right, now you'll tell me what happened.
Fritz: Indeed.
Elaine: So start.
Fritz: Very well…
A few weeks ago I was trying to figure a way to gain more credit with my father. It's been so long since I last received a raise on my salary or anything and I've been working too much.
I was arranging the shop's stock, making the items inventory and checking the prices when I had an idea. Our supplier was raising the prices for some products and that would certainly decrease our profit in the future. Therefore, I thought of finding new suppliers and cheaper products without my Father's knowledge. That way I could make new contacts, raise the profits on the shop and dad would end up glad and proud of me. Then I started planning a travel to…
Elaine: Fritz…
Fritz: What?
Elaine: I already know everything you've just said. You had told me a little before BOTH OF US planned that trip. ¬¬
Fritz felt a little uncomfortable.
Fritz: Hum… Well… I just wanted to recap. ^^
Elaine: Fine… And that supplier from Porre does have too high prices. A bunch of thieves they are.
Fritz: Don't tell me.
Elaine: Great, now continue, but tell the part of the story which I don't know yet.
I set sail on this trip three weeks ago from the Truce harbor, what you already knew. Medina was the first place I went, what you probably didn't have much certainty about.
Elaine: Oh! And are the Mystics really as generous as people say?
Fritz: From what I saw, yes they are. On the whole travel, the best prices I found were there.
Elaine: So you did find the new suppliers there! They may not be quite cute, but it's worth it. Then… Where are the products? We had settled you would bring the first portion.
Fritz: I know, but… things happened.
I bought some products there, not much, just as much as I could carry all the way back. After a few days making business, I departed to Choras. I searched and searched, but couldn't find as good prices as those of Medina. Their strong point ain't market. So I just enjoyed the time I passed there.
There were plenty of tourists in the city. Those castle ruins really call the attention. Not that I've felt astonished by a lot of rocks put together, but it's an interesting place, lots of different people. Ah, I also bought a gift for you there.
Elaine: Really? Oh, how cute, Fritz! Let me see it!
Fritz: I can't.
Elaine: “I can't? What do you mean?!
Fritz: You'll see.
After Choras I went to Porre and stayed in an inn. I wasn't hoping to find any better prices there, but it would be cheaper to stop there and then come here than getting a boat in Choras going directly to Truce. Any boat going or coming from Choras is too expensive.
I did research the stores in Porre, but I wasn't really willing to, it was just half an afternoon lost. I spent the rest of the day in a bar listening to a great pianist. And man, did he play! Skies turned dark and I went to the inn. The next day I would get a boat back to Truce.
Finally, the waitress arrived with their food. Two jerkies for Fritz, a sandwich for Elaine and two juice glasses. Fritz stopped telling his story to mercilessly attack his jerky.
Elaine: Fritz! Behave!
She hadn't even bitten her sandwich twice and he had already finished the first jerky.
Fritz: It's simply… divine!
Elaine: Actually, it's pure cholesterol.
He didn't give her attention, already devouring the next jerky, with more calm.
Elaine: Stop clogging your arteries and keep speaking. Tell what happened at once!
Fritz left his food on the plate and continued. While he spoke, Elaine ate her snack.
I was already asleep in my room at the inn. I woke up when I heard a noise at the reception and went there to see. Then I realized I shouldn't have. The inn was being assaulted by a bunch of thieves.
Elaine: Oh no!
Oh yeah! They had tied the owner and were taking all his money. I didn't think twice! Aware of my own courage and strength, I took all my things and tried to run away.
Elaine: That's my man. ¬¬
I managed to pick everything, even the products. They saw me running through the exit, but couldn't catch me, I was too fast. As soon as I got out, I saw various soldiers of Guardia coming to the inn, they noticed there was an assault. “Great, I'm safe”, I was thinking. But two of them jumped over me! Understanding nothing, I struggled, asked them to free me, but they were too strong. The others entered the inn and caught the thieves. They threw us all inside a wooden cell on wheels. They thought I was a thief like them! Can you believe it?!
Elaine: Well, they saw you running out of an inn being robbed and carrying a lot of stuff… But didn't they ask you anything?
Fritz: No! They just threw me inside there!
Elaine: Oh, my poor Fritz!
Fritz: Yeah, it was tough, I suffered… I need a kiss.
Elaine: No, you need a bath.
Fritz: T.T
Elaine: But what happened? Did they take you to jail? Were you there all this time? Did they treat you badly?
It was terrible! I told them all the way, from Porre to the Guardia Castle, that I was no thief, but they didn't believe in me. They just made jokes. Even those damn thieves!
They left me in a dirty and dark cell, in the castle jails. I stayed there for some days, just with the disgusting food they gave, sleeping on the cold floor, but only when I managed to sleep. I could always hear some horrifying scream coming from another corner of those jails.
Yesterday they took me out of my cell to the execution room. They said the other thieves had already been executed and that it was my time. They immobilized my neck and hands on a guillotine, I stayed that way the whole night. One of the guards told me I'd be executed the next morning, after breakfast.
Elaine: Oh, that's too much for me!
Fritz: Should I stop?
Elaine: No! Continue!
Well, little time before my execution the guards passed through the room taking a guy with a weird hair. They were gonna kill him too, but then Lucca showed up.
Elaine: Lucca?
Fritz: Lucca…
Elaine: …
Fritz: …
Elaine: You mean, Lucca, that crazy Taban’s daughter who is only capable of building things that explode.
Fritz: Exactly.
Elaine: How the hell did she get in there? No, wait. What the hell was she doing there?
I dunno. I just know she entered the room they had taken the boy holding one more of her strange gadgets. And she got out of there with him! Afterwards, he also freed me from the guillotine. They ended up creating quite a fuss while trying to escape the castle. All I did was take advantage of the chance and get out when nobody was looking. When I reached the forest, I started running to truce, found you and here we are. Me, completely exhausted physically and mentally, and you, not even trying to make me feel a little better like an actual girlfriend should do.
Elaine had already finished her snack, when Fritz kept eating his jerky.
Elaine: Ahem, we talk about that later. But, wow Fritz! That guy saved your life! What was his name?
Fritz: Hmm… He told me… It was… Something I can't remember right now.
Elaine: Fritz! How can't you remember?!
Fritz: Ah, I was desperate to save my life! Gimme a discount, OK?
Elaine: So, how was he? Maybe I could recognize him.
Fritz: Well, he had a red huge spiky hair, a headband, a katana…
Elaine: I know! He may be Crono, Gina's son! She lives around here and is our client!
Fritz: Hm, yeah, poor woman. I remember there were many guards after him. I don't know if he could have escaped.
Elaine: I hope he has. You owe him your life!
Fritz: I know… Would 10 Mid Ethers cover the debt?
Elaine: Oh Fritz, stop joking like that…
Fritz: Joking?
Elaine: … Hey! What about the products?
Fritz: They stayed at the inn in Porre. But only if nobody touched nothing. They must be there with no owner since they took me.
Elaine: We gotta go get them! All that stuff will give a big loss if we don't recover it! Moreover, our plan regarding your father and the shop and everything else would have been for nothing!
Elaine seemed worried. Fritz finished the jerky, but was still drinking his juice, totally unconcerned.
Fritz: I agree… You could catch the next boat to Porre and grab them. The boat must be exiting the harbor in minutes.
Elaine: Ah! Me? Going and coming from Porre all alone with a lot of baggage? Are you insane?!
Fritz: And you want me to go to that city so the soldiers can arrest me again? I don't.
Elaine: Hum, right. And what are you gonna do while I make all this effort?
Fritz: Me? Hmm… I was thinking about eating another jerky. The food in the jail was awful!
Thanks for either reading my fic or just scrolling the page to its bottom.
Notes: This is my first fanfiction in English. It's a translation of a fic I originally wrote in Portuguese, many months ago. I would appreciate if there were comments about my English (if it's good enough to read or if it could get better at any aspects).
About the names before the speeches, I'm no great fan of such style. But I thought this would be the best way to keep the narrative rhythm the way it should be.
About the story, it happens in a timeline in which Ozzie has been definitely defeated in 600A.D. (happy friendly mystics! =D).
Yes, I know there's only one ferry in the whole world which takes people from Truce to Porre and from Porre to Truce only. But who cares? I don't.
Mystics' products are actually the cheapest you can find in 1000 A.D..
ONE-SHOT! ONE CHAPTER! ONE READ! IT'S FAST!
Any comments and/or critics are welcome!

Fritz was running through the fields of Guardia. Was he desperate? Yes. Happy? For sure! He couldn't believe he had escaped from the castle's jail. Fritz ran more than ever, hoping that no guards would be following him.

About the names before the speeches, I'm no great fan of such style. But I thought this would be the best way to keep the narrative rhythm the way it should be.
About the story, it happens in a timeline in which Ozzie has been definitely defeated in 600A.D. (happy friendly mystics! =D).
Yes, I know there's only one ferry in the whole world which takes people from Truce to Porre and from Porre to Truce only. But who cares? I don't.
Mystics' products are actually the cheapest you can find in 1000 A.D..

History, Locations, and Artifacts / One more Demi-human's origin theory
« on: April 18, 2008, 06:45:41 pm »
I got into a hard dilemma while deciding wheter to post it either in "Characters, Plot and Themes" or "History, Locations and Artifacts" forum, but I finally made up my mind. I'm just hoping there's no trouble.
Well, yes, I got a theory about Demi-humans' origin. Yes, I've made a small search in the forums, read three or four threads and found nothing similar to this. Actually, everybody keeps talking about Dragonians and humans and Mystics in some kind of bizarre orgy and... ew! Not that I have anything against interracial relationships, but... argh!
Back to the point, I felt so confused and excited (like "OMG!IGOTATHEORY!OMG!") when I saw nobody speaking about it, because it seems almost simple and quite logic to me. I read only 3 or 4 topics, but I think it was enough to guess that no or few people must have spoken about something like that.
So, for a start, forget about Mystics and Dragonians. They are, by now, irrelevant. This theory implies that there's only one being responsible for the existence of all Demi-humans. The most valuable treasure, perceived by so many, yet reached by so few. The legendary relic known as both divine and monstrous. The one being that once sought to engulf the world! The evil progeny of Lavos! YES! THE FROZEN FLAME! MWAHUAHUAHUAHUAHUA
Didn't get it? Ok, follow my thought. Remember how and why Wazuki turned into Lynx, a human torn into a Demi-human.
He got inside Chronopolis when it was totally deactivated, due to Schala's storm. Since the facility had no energy, there were no barriers to refrain the Flame's power. Thus, when the fisherman got closer to the jewel, his body and mind suffered great changes (the changes weren't instantaneous, but that's irrelevant). His body changed into a shape of important meaning to him, a feline, due to the recent event involving the panther-demon. Presumably, some kind of radiation originated from the Flame caused such transformation.
The contact with the Flame also affected his mind's integrity, permitting FATE to gain its control afterwards. But that fact is also irrelevant to the theory.
Alright, so the Frozen Flame, when capable of using its unique habilities, can transform humans in humanoid animal shapes for which the transformed human has some strong sentiment. Keep that in mind!
My theory implies that the first Demi-humans were all originally humans, residents of Chronopolis affected by the Frozen Flame during the Time Crash.
As some random ghost in Chronopolis says, they would be releasing "the Flame's lock level to D" to study the counter-time effect or something. That experiment most probably caused the Time Crash. Lowering the Flame's lock level (which I understand as force fields or some kind of refraining system) let the jewel not only contact Lavos and move Chronopolis towards the past, but also liberate its strange mutating radiation over some unfortunate Chronopolitans. Or, maybe, releasing the lock level let the Flame liberate enough power to completely shut the whole Chronopolis down. With nothing impeding the rock's might, the consequences were the same as above.
No matter how long it took, the affected people transformed into new shapes which had some important meaning to them. Perhaps a young time traveling trainee girl had always loved fishes as pets and, thus, became a mermaid. Or some renowned physicist had this terrifying experience with pidgeons when he was a child and became a moaman. And the same happened to all the other affected ones.
After the Polis War and the creation of the archipelago, FATE erased the memories of all Chronopolitans (that includes the transformed ones) and sent them all to live among the surviving Dragonians. They must have received the name of "Demi-human" either before or after their minds got erased, but that doesn't seem to be a real matter. Although, we might have the exact explanation for that name if it was conceived before the erasure. The Chronopolitans would still be completely aware of those humanoids' origin, being them "almost human" or "not actual humans" anymore.
The lore of El Nido also keeps a few interesting information which might support this theory.
"Be very careful when
you stare into the flame...
For the flame will also
stare back at you...
It will either transform you
into a different being...
Or burn you into ashes."
"Transform you into a different being", it says. Since Wazuki was in fact transformed into a completely different being, that line might pretty well refer to previous transformations the spiky red relic caused centuries in the past.
In the end, Demi-humans would have nothing to do with Dragonians or Mystics, being just the products of an accident involving time traveling experiments and a sentient being whose existence goes beyond human capability of understanding the universe as it is (aka Frozen Flame).
All in all, I believe I have here quite a consistent, simple, logic and respectable theory. So, please, reply pointing all those inconsistent, illogic and disrespectable aspects so I can realize (not to say remember) how ignorant, despicable and humiliatable I am.
Thanks for the attention and for the patience while reading all this (or for just scroolling down to see the bottom of my post =D).

Fan Fiction / Day of Wrath
« on: January 02, 2008, 03:54:05 am »
First of all, I didn't write it. I'm just suggesting you read it. It's really "a unique take on one of the central events in the Chrono Trigger storyline", as the author himself (or herself?) describes.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3348455/1/Day_of_Wrath
From what I got, it has some mistakes in the story, probably because the writer misinterpreted a few facts in CT. But still, it's wonderfully original. I hope you as surprised as I was while reading and realizing what's going on. Post your comments!
And it would be better if feedback was given as reviews on the fanfiction at FanFiction.net, since it's not much probable that the author will see this topic on the Compendium.
Enjoy

Welcome / Birthday / Seeya! Forum / I'm not actually new, but... oh, whatever!
« on: December 09, 2007, 04:26:40 pm »
Hello, Compendium people!
I've registered in these forums months ago and discovered this website months before that. I guess the time to officially introduce myself is come. ^^
I am a Brazilian 18 year old boy, who first played Chrono Trigger about 4 or 3 years and a half ago. It was addiction at first. It didn't take long after I finished it until I found out about RD and CC, but I could only play CC in the beginning of 2006. By the middle of that year, my addiction had already evolved into an obssession that possessed my mind, destroyed my marks on school and changed my life forever. ^^ (And may it be known, the Compendium helped a lot. Congratulations for the encyclopedia, the articles, the forums, blablabla)
As you can see, I don't post much around here. I hope I can change that fact as time passes. I'm quite more active in the Brazilian Chrono communities though. I'm also on the staff of a recently created Chrono website trying to cover the whole series. Sadly, there aren't many good ones in Portuguese.
Well, there's not much to tell. Just wanted to say hi to all of you.
So, hmm... hi ^^
