OMG! I can't wait, *runs downstairs gets DS blows pile of dust off of it* I knew this thing would be good for something one day

I had to do the same thing. Lack of a DECENT flash cart prevents my use of the thing.

Maybe this can be the Chrono Trigger they wanted to make, with a fleshed out Zeal Palace and 65000000BC map.



HOLY CRAP THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!

I got my first taste of Chrono Trigger while looking at a Nintendo Power magazine at the local Wal-Mart in late spring/early summer of 1995. Nintendo Power did a really great presentation, hinting at Magus and showing a screenshot of Crono going up against a shadowy Lavos, and I was hooked.

Yeah, the 2300AD segment gets everyone I think. I stayed up until 4:00AM to play through that when I finally got my grubby hands on the game. I've only ever done that for Chrono Trigger and Xenogears to date.

This is the same thing I did. All I wanted for my birthday was this game after that.

It actually showed an enemy getting defeated, and my mom thought that the red stuff was blood. She thought it would be too violent, so I had to convince her otherwise. When I got it, I was just in awe. From the moment I started playing to the moment I stopped.

The one thing I loved about this game so much was that you could go through the entire game without having to stop and level up anywhere. If you did every fight through the game, and didn't run away from any, then the only fight you would have trouble with is the Dragon Tank.

What sort of Genre would this be?


If it's Deathcore, Death Metal, or just straight up metal, then I'm totally up for it.

A mysterious beast is often sighted in the lakes of British Columbia. Scientists have yet to identify it.

Is it large and spiky?

Does it shoot out giant missiles of destruction?

If it does, then we might have a Lavoid on our hands.

They did dub it Ogopogo for a name...

So that's where they got it for FF4...

Dream species.

We don't know for certain their genesis, but we do know that the Masamune trio are Melchior's dreams embodied.

What about Turnip? he's the dream of the Acacia Dragoon. What's the origin of his materia?

Magic is supposed to generate things out of nothing, while Elements somehow draw it from the Earth.

The little Red Knife became the larger-mass sword Masamune.

After all that, is it really weird to have someone divide part of herself into a clone-daughter? <.<

Well that's an interesting viewpoint. But nobody, if you notice, ever really mentions the presence of Masa or Mune in their physical forms besides the party.

Turnip is easily explainable as an expermient conducted by Radius. He's a green elemental type which shows a strong connection with plants, so who's to say that he couldn't possibly create a plant demi-human thing in his garden?

So actually, I don't think the dream species thing holds much water. Personally, at least.

Welcome to the Compendium! I'm surprised I haven't seen more topics like this around in all my time here.

I always thought Lia Sargent (Shion in Xenosaga Episodes I & III) would make a great Schala.

I ought to look her up.

I don't like her voice acting very much. Everything with Shion sounded really forced. I don't like forced emotion.

You can get a non-guilty verdict? O_O I had no idea XD

Yep, you can! No matter what though...you will get thrown in jail.

The Chancellor is a Yakra bastard and will make sure you get put in there no matter what!

I must have been good at this game or something, because my first time through I had one juror go to the guilty side.

I didn't know about the magus shrine in manoria cathedral for a really long time.

Jp

But what did you do the whole while? toured the entire Northern continent in 600 AD while listening to its really great theme??

Haha, it was an awesome theme.  I didn't stay too long though I knew about manoria cathedral I just didn't know about the secret door that led to the Magus Shrine.  Really its the only "secret" area that I can think of (I.E. the door isn't obviously there).

--JP

Yeah, I didn't find that my first time either. Hell...I think it took a couple of times for me to find that. Like you said, it's not really obvious...

I found it the first time, because I had Nintendo Power's write-up about the first part of the game. They showed you how to get in there.

The Zelda games fror CD-I. *Shudders*

(Although if you're in the mood for comedy and don't wanna go to the movies, this is a hilarious alternative.)

Agreed.

Or Hotel Mario from the same system. In fact, any CD-i game.

Maybe the Chronoverse uses some strange type of ethereal physics? I believe that would explain magic better in this instance. If they used a principle of ethereal physics, then maybe Lavos, the Mammon Machine, and Schala could all be changed into this theoretical ethereal substance that ends up becoming the time devourer? This ethereal physics theory would basically replace the law of the conservation of matter and energy in the DBT. Therefore, all the people sent there by time errors could perhaps shift to this ethereal form, like ghosts, and therefore they can violate the normal physical laws of our world.

This could also explain the ghosts in Chronopolis, maybe.

I've been listening to this band called This Will Destroy You a lot lately. They're a Post-Rock band, and they are really chill and good.

I've also been listening to both of Veil of Maya's albums, "The Common Man's Collapse" and "All Things Set Aside."

I've been needing a Russian Wife, myself. Where do you suppose I could get one of those? Target?

No, only Wal-mart. They've cornered the market on all imported goods. Including wives.
