CHRONO TRIGGER TURNS TEN
« on: August 22, 2005, 02:00:52 am »


Welcome to the Chrono Trigger 10th Anniversary CELEBRATION! Ten years ago today, Chrono Trigger was released in North America, stunning fans and reviewers everywhere with deep plot, solid gameplay, moving music and masterful presentation. Today, the game is still going strong, inspiring a new generation of gamers to learn exactly what set the standard for RPGs years ago and continues to influence today's titles! We've got a Lavos-size load of gifts, party favors, and features for your enjoyment; come join the fun and bask in the glow of one of the most unique and exceptional RPGs ever made! To get things started, I present what we've all been waiting for...



CHRONO TRIGGER: CRIMSON ECHOES DEMO & INTERVIEW

Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes is a rom hack of Chrono Trigger, primarily made by Temporal Flux, that aims to tell a new story featuring Crono's original team. The demo is finally ready, and poetically, suggests that as Trigger hits its tenth birthday, it's being reborn in the form of a new game! After you download the demo, check the readme for instructions on how to play it, and if you have any questions, hit the Feedback thread. You needn't be registered on the forums to ask a question. Well, let's get to it!

Download the demo

Secondly, an interview has been posted about the demo that should answer most of your questions concerning Crimson Echoes. Check it out here! Moving on to the next attraction!



CHRONO TRIGGER RECOLLECTIONS

Chrono Trigger has touched every fan in a different way, and now fans and remixers have come together, representing the various Chrono communities, to talk about their experiences. Also in the feature is a special retrospective on the game, featuring a look at the Dream Team and where they are now. Don't miss it!

Happy mother f**king birthday! It's times like these that really make you appreciate how valuable this game is to the gaming community as a whole. This is a game that will last forever, and because of dedicated people like everyone here, there will never be a time where this game is not appreciated for its full value. It is excellence at its finest, and no one can take that away. Ever. Long live Chrono!

Ah yes, those stupid Europeans...Did you hear they didn't get FFTactics either? Har har...wait, you're in Europe...? I meant, uh...North Europe...uh, yeah...East Europe? Islandic Europe? Eurasia? Eurarctica? Eurstralia? Afrope? Wow, I made a couple and I just couldn't stop myself...

A year after CT, RD was released. Five years after CT, CC was released. Ten years after CT, we get the CE demo...makes sense in a way, yeah?

Oh, some things I just noticed about all the nifty birthday stuffs...

1) In Magus' character section, there's no going over of his RD name(s) Magil (/Gil)...

2) LionhearAce's banners are great, but there should be an even darker (/blacker?) one just to cover all of CC's Elemental colors :lol:

How ironic I stumble upon this site right in time for it.

Oh the memories of starting my RPG fandom with CT... *sigh*... I feel old now. <_>

Happy birthday to CT, my most favorite game of all.

Also, a link to Chronicles is missing in the "Community Recollections" page.
