Saturday Update: Characters (CT) Complete
« on: September 03, 2005, 12:53:26 pm »
If yo'uve visited the site for more than a couple weeks, you know that the poll and other items are regularly updated Saturday. I will now begin a regular Saturday news update as well, revealing what's been going on at the site in the event of no real news. Without further ado, I present today's achievement:

Chrono Trigger Character Encyclopedia Complete!

If you caught the birthday celebration, you know that all the information needs of the Chrono Trigger character encyclopedia were met. Now, I am happy to say that the graphical requirements are in place too; each character has a full sprite sheet and, provided they were drawn by Toriyama, official art displays. Additionally, sprite sheets for EVERY NPC in the game have been uploaded; check out the cool items that were never used in the actual game! You can find the CT character encyclopedia here, and the NPC sprite sheets are located at this page. Lastly, JLukas has revised the text list of NPCs (which the NPC sprite page now uses) to version 1.2. You can consult it in the modification section as always.

What evidence is there that the guy in 1999 A.D. is Nadia's descendant?

Nothing stated, but since that place views the Lavos thing, and Doan is a descendant of the director, it's somewhat likely.

Actually. there is some evidence. Doan stated that he is the decendant of the Director (dude in 1999 that we're talking about for those who didnt realize). Now it is once again stated in the official ending that all the people who gathered in the Throno Room in Guardia Castle are Marle's ascendants and descendants! And Doan is in the room! So this basically is proper evidence!

I hope i'm right.

Wow, you did a lot of great work with those sprite sheets. Did you rip each and every one manually or did you rip them straight from the rom (using Peer's Sprite Viewer I'm guessing - if that was the case)?

yeah, that was the hard part. It took forever to resize those; I used Printscreen several times to just take all the frames at once, but even then I had to check for redundancy and still place them all neatly on a sheet.

Just noticed one thing, the link to the Crono sprites is broken.
