Characters, Plot, and Themes / Re: Explain Serge's Silence.
« on: June 12, 2009, 12:58:06 am »
If Serge was in another game, he probably would be a normal chatter box. This happened with the Persona 2 games. In Persona 2: Innocent Sins Tatsuya Suou was the main character and assumed the role of a silent protagonist, another character, Maya Amano was a normal chatterbox. However in Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, Maya Amano became the silent protagonist, and Tatsuya Suou became a normal chatterbox.
Same happened with Chrono Trigger/Cross. Crono was the silent protagonist in Trigger. However in Cross, his ghost talked normally.
So if Serge appeared in another game and was not the main character, he would be his own character.
Make sense?

Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Re: Square Enix Not Impressed by CTDS Sales

If this gives any consolation; when I visit Japanese pages such as Nico Nico or Pixiv, I see new Chrono videos or artwork submitted almost daily by various people. To me, it shows that it is still quite loved by the Japanese youth.

Chrono Trigger DS Analysis / Hmm...
« on: June 07, 2009, 01:13:47 am »
I just read that SE wasn't impressed with the CT:DS sales. I was wondering though, does this seriously affect the possibility of having a new Chrono game? Does it even damper the possibility of a Chrono Cross remake as well?
It's hard for me to fathom that SE would throw away a great series.

Someone texture hacked Super Smash Brothers Brawl characters to look like other characters from different games. Crono is in it.

I don't really know what a "Relation Chart" is though.

Well, I heard that it was from Ultimania. I could be wrong. >_>

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Re: A hilarious CT situation

My house is very clean and tidy. Knowing that, one would assume that I wouldn't really lose anything...right?
So one time...
I was under the impression that I lost my PSX copy of CT. I searched it for months, but the efforts were all in vain.
Why?
I forgot that I lent it to my friend.
*facepalm*

« on: January 16, 2009, 03:37:03 pm »I'm fairly certain CuteLucca has at least some of those doujin...Crono renames Magus "Death Pisaro" from Dragon Quest 4.
I wonder what Crono is renaming Magus...the defeat of Magus one looks hilarious (he leaves the Amulet & his codpiece behind, HA!)...and what that one that looks like it's talking about Glenn's hair seems like it might be interesting...and wtf@"Dutch Wife" -2-...>_>

Eh? I never thought of that. It could be, but since I noticed other names like Magil and Serg, I think not.

Yeah, I was like "What the heck!", when I saw this. I really think that square was alluding to Cross. I mean, a theif named Kidd leading a gang of bandits, how is that not Cross?

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Cross/Trigger references in Final Fantasy Tactics:A2?
« on: January 05, 2009, 05:59:57 pm »
I just received the game this Christmas, and I am currently playing it, along with CT:DS of course. However, I noticed quite a few references to Cross while playing it though. One of the early missions that you have to complete is stopping a band of bandits called the "Yellow Wings". The leader is a thief named "Kidd". Interesting huh. More, some of the random names that generate for monsters include a name called "Magil". If I recall, it's another variation of Magus' name. Also, a random name that generates for the hume race is "Serg". I don't know if these are significant, but they were little things I noticed while playing. The theif, Kidd, really surprised me though.

Polling / Re: If they re-released Chrono Cross...
« on: December 10, 2008, 11:47:46 am »Last time I remember playing Cross, I recall that in the Temporal Vortex(The strange place with Sprigg and Harle), doesn't Serge appear and begin to speak? I think that that portion of the game had Serge speak a little.I really think that giving Serge his own dialogue would add far more to the game than it would take away.
I agree. Cross is just one of those games where you just have to have EVERYONE speaking, even Serge, the "Silent Protagonist."

« on: November 24, 2008, 11:42:26 pm »I just hate the fact that those random characters take away the time that I would like invested in the main crew.I have to agree with you there. I disliked the large character cast in the game. The only characters I absolutely loved were Serge, Lynx and Kid. The three were very deep characters, and I wished that the game focused a bit more on the three. I wish SE could cut out the other completely useless and random characters, like everyone except Glenn, Harle, the people in affiliation with General Viper and Viper Manor, and maybe Fargo and Steena.Part of the beauty of Cross is that you don't have to deal with any characters other than Serge, Kid, Lynx, and Harle. Everyone else is minor/optional. Even Kid is optional, for most of the game. If you want the game to focus on the core cast, just use the core cast. If you think taking Nikki and Pierre around is cool, then you can. You're not forced into using characters you don't like. (Unless of course, you don't like Serge. But who doesn't like him?)
If they cut down all the random characters, you'll find yourself with a much better game. Less characters = more character development.
I wouldn't really mind having those optional characters, I just wish that the main characters had more development.
I know that there is already a lot, but I believe that they need more attention.

« on: November 24, 2008, 11:42:04 am »I can mostly agree with that except that I don't understand why some people feel like lumping in Serge with the good to moderately developed members of the CC cast...Deep? He's far from it. Crono was a deeper character than Serge, and that's saying absolutely nothing at all (fitting, no?)...Serge still expressed emotion. Like at viper manor, when Kid gets injured, or when Kid gets stabbed. Doesn't he speak at the Temporal Vortex, the weird place with Harle and Sprigg?
There could always be more, but despite the fact that he didn't talk, he still has a deep involvement in the plot.
