Characters, Plot, and Themes / Re: Crono Foreshadowing

They weren't ignored, well only two of them were and there were made allusions to them in the form of other characters.
"Basically" ignored.

Quote
Lucca was killed by Lynx.
Killed.

Quote
Prometheus (Robo) served a 'great' purpose
Killed.

Quote
Crono and Marle appear as 'ghost' childs
Killed.

Quote
even Magus was alluded to
When the arguably most popular character of a game is only BRIEFLY ALLUDED TO in the sequel, you got problems. He's probably dead as well, frozen in the lands of obscurity.

(Glenn Turnip Leah)So there you go, they weren't ignored.
I don't think vague references or similar character designs really count.


I'm not saying I think CC should have just been another adventure for the 7 originals, but nothing you said really refutes my point. Most of the things people loved most about Trigger were killed (sometimes literally) in Cross and it ended up slightly more related to CT than Secret of Evermore is to FF6. People go ga-ga for a CT remake, but the game that desperately needs it is CC.

But I've said these things before, don't like deja vu feelings.

It's just a theory on why folks didn't like CC as a -direct- sequel to CT. It isn't, but that's what they wanted and hoped for.

CC "betrayed" CT in the sense that all the player characters that weren't killed off were basically ignored. Not to say I didn't love the game to death, I'm just willing to acknowledge the shortcomings of things I enjoy.

Insane!Belthesar is canon, for chrissakes.

Ayla: Oh, leave nest! Ayla understand that too! Pteran leave nest too. When time pass, leave nest! Marle leave nest too? That great! Leave nest! Sleep! Bear kids! Give boobs! And then kids leave nest again! [...] You be okay? Not have boobs......


Oh, I love it.

Or, y'know... Belthasar's a crazy old coot. That theory always works.

CC does, but there's only three remixes of it from this site XD


Linked them properly the other day. There's one song I wasn't 100% sure of the placement, it's "Wake Up Crono" by The Tonberries, and I put it under "Morning Sunlight". Can anyone confirm if this was the right place or not?

All right, finished linking all their CT remixes in the right places. There's some CC ones too, but so far I've only linked them on the main Music page.

Go check them out, people!

On second thought, the only real problem I had with CT was Marle's sidequest.

The King's trial should have been timed, and if you didn't get there in time, Yakra would crush him with a giant iron ball or anvil.

His dying words would add some much-needed tragedy.

I'm really digging "Red, White, and DOOM" and "Destruction Reigns from the White House" is a close second. Year not so important, but '99 is good for nerd factor.

Chrono Compendium Discussion / Possible OLRemix Links?
« on: August 25, 2007, 02:53:44 am »
I was browsing through the Music section of the Encyclopedia here, and I started thinking that we ought to link to the remixes on Overlooked Remix as well as VGMix and OCRemix.

Most if not all of the songs are silly and some are purposefully bad, but they appeal to certain tastes and a lot of them are really great. Since I think I can edit the entries already, I'm just curious if I can or should add links to these songs.

Azala has a pink cape and a name that ends with "a", plus if it was a she there'd be cooler parallel with Ayla.

What's the retranslation say about Azala's speech?

Site Updates / Re: Server move complete

For some reason I can't access the site at all from my computer unless it's through a proxy site. Keeps giving me a "Server not Found" message.

[edit] I read the thread and found that others have this problem and it went away, but mine's been here since this morning :/

Sounds like a bitch. Be glad you're rid of her and move on  :D

A friend of mine put it best, I think.

CC is what happens when Chrono Trigger and Xenogears fuck but then Xenogears falls down some stairs and hits really hard and screams "THE BABY OH GOD THE BABY" and there's blood and gristly chunks everywhere and those chunks are Chrono Cross.



That aside, I'm kinda having a hard time understanding your question here. Chrono Cross didn't exactly cancel itself out in the strictest sense so much as the two timelines were reunited somehow. The specific plot couldn't happen in one dimension since that was the whole gimmick.

Great work my friend. Great work.

Is it alright to use your FF6Frog pic? If it's not I'll take it down.

Thanks, and it's perfectly fine for you or anyone to use the stuff I linked. Just don't go around saying "hey look at this awesome thing I did".
