| − | Three bits of good news today! The interview with the producer of Unofficial Chrono Trigger II, second in a series of Fan Project dialogues, has been released at [[Editorial_3]]. It offers much insight into the ongoing history and progress of the project, as well as its aims and features. Secondly, Kaschua has opened her own Chrono domain as a miscellaneous showcase for writings. To start things off with a bang, she's holding a drawing contest. The winning entries will be integrated into the layout of the site. Check it out at http://www.brinkoftime.net/contest.html . Lastly, JLukas has found a Q&A section at Yasunori Mitsuda's webpage in which he reveals the background behind Singing Mountain. Arc Impulse has translated it; see [[Singing Mountain]] for this wonderful information. Huge thanks to both of them!

| − | ===Chrono Trigger II: The Brink of Time Lives===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 14:24, 19 Jan 2005 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | BrownMan, who fell victim to a reformatting that erased his current work on the fan project CT II: The Brink of Time, has decided to resume work and create it anew, enlisting the help of a few of his friends.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''I found most of my old resources that I made on my old computer. Unfortunately, my map files weren't there. Im going to have to make some new sprites, mostly enemies -- but also Magus, since he was done on the other computer (the one that got reformatted). I'm going to have to make the database again, and all the techs and stuff, so after all that I'll be releasing a demo. But it will take a while though for me to get back on my feet. Wish me luck!''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The project Chrono Crisis also underwent two complete reboots before reaching its current state as well. An interview with BrownMan about CT II: The Brink of Time is on the way in [[Editorials]] in three weeks.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After releasing the demo for Chrono Crisis recently, Chains of Fate has agreed to an interview detailing the history of his project, its inspiration, and his plans for the future. This is first in four interviews with Fan Project creators, so don't miss it at [[Editorial 2]]! Additionally, I have released an .spc supplement to the soundtrack of Chrono Trigger, featuring tracks such as "Leene's Bell" and "Mt. Woe Tsunami" that were not included with snesmusic.org's .spc pack. It can be found [[Music (Chrono Trigger)#.spc Rips|here]].

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When Chrono Trigger was created, artists drew every piece of equipment in the game, including Key Items, Accessories, Weapons, and others. These were eventually placed in player's guides, but thanks to the efforts of CuteLucca, they have come to the Compendium in high-resolution glory, scanned from [[Chrono Trigger: The Perfect]]. If you don't plan on viewing all the individual entries, check these comprehensive tables, also available on each type of equipment's listing page. [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Accessories.png Accessories] - [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Armor.png Armor] - [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Helmets.png Helmets] - [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Items.png Items] - [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Key_Items.png Key Items] - [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Image:Weapons.png Weapons] . It is a great day for the Chrono Compendium, and fans of Chrono Trigger!

| − | ===Chrono Crisis Demo Released===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 21:39, 9 Jan 2005 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Chains of Fate, creator of the Fan Project Chrono Crisis, has revamped his plot and released a demo of the project. It requires the RPGMaker2003 runtimes to use. His preview is, ''Many eras have passed since mankind was first born upon the world. Countless lives have been lost, saved, and ruined, and only a few heroes have been born. Among these heroes, are three teenagers, Crono, Nadia, and Lucca, who risked their lives to save the future of their world, even though they would never live to see it themselves. Although they saved so many people, was what they did really right? What happened to the people who WOULD have been born if time had not been altered? After thinking about it, they feared that one day someone may discover the truth and seek revenge on them. Now that they're older and have lives of their own, are they willing to lose everything because they did what they thought was right?''

| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 13:13, 3 Jan 2005 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Thanks to Arc Impulse and Hopeful Death
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Dengeki Online has done a special feature that interviewed several game composers. Among them was Yasunori Mitsuda, who commented that he's working on a project involving music, pictures and stories with Masato Kato, creator of the Chrono series, and that he's also releasing an arranged version of the Chrono Cross OST in 2005. Here's a rough translation:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :Aspirations for 2005!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :In 2005 I'm thinking about many items ''[i.e. music]'' I want to make and send out. To start with, for the first item on the list, I've done a collaboration CD called "Kirite" with Mr. Katou ''[Masato Kato]'' who did Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross's scenario and supervision, and it will come out this spring. The speech, photos, and music are having the finishing touches put on them right now. ''[sorry, shaky here, but that's the general gist]'' One more thing, a Chrono Cross arrange version CD is also planned to go on sale around July. No matter which ''[month?]'', it will be on sale from Procyon Studio (Sleighbells Label).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :I'm deciding right now whether to participate in works for 3-4 other games, but I can't say the names of those. Sorry (laughs).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :In all the things I've mentioned, I feel like I want to keep tirelessly working my best in 2005.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Original article at [http://www.dengekionline.com/2005newyear/comment/2004comment02.html]''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | SPECTACULAR. I absolutely cannot wait until July. You can bet the Compendium will instantly have a track listing and purchasing information around then.

| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 23:38, 28 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The first in a long line of Chrono Compendium editorials has been released, the subject being "rate the characters of Chrono Trigger." Several editorialists did just that, and offered commentary on why they placed each in a certain spot. Check out the final results at [[Editorial 1]].

| − | ===ZSNES v1.40 Released===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 14:56, 28 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ZSNES, often considered the best SNES emulator around, has had its first official release in a few months, with countless features updated and some new attractions. These include 48khz audio and a new kind of video filter, the HQ, which varies according to resolution. The HQ filter makes the game look positively stunning, as it rounds off blocky pixels and sprites and adds tiny shading to them. Examples include [[Media:BeforeHQ.png|Before HQ]] and [[Media:AfterHQ.png|After HQ]]. Unfortunately, ZSNES.com was Slashdotted and is apparently down due to traffic overload. A mirror exists at http://ipherswipsite.com/zsnes/ or at the ZSNES sourceforge page.

| − | [[Image:Chrono_Cross_-_Turnip.gif|left|framed|Turnip]] Merry Christmas-eth. Just in time for Christmas, it is now known that a new Yasunori Mitsuda CD is coming out-eth in 2005. While it is limited to Japan at this time, and details are unknown-eth, it does have a page at http://www.procyon-studio.com/sleighbells/index.html#moonlitshadow which allows viewers to listen-eth to samples of some tracks. Enjoy-eth this present!

| − | ===Chrono Trigger Remake Project Updated===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 23:48, 23 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The Chrono Trigger Remake Project has, at last, updated its site, and it was well worth the wait. New screenshots are up of the Millennial Fair, which looks beautiful in the Unreal engine, and new .mp3's are up. Additionally, the site has a sort of Christmas-theme going on. This is a must-see for any Chrono fan; check it out at http://www.chrono-trigger.com .

| − | ===New Fanfiction===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 22:32, 22 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Part 3 of Legacies of the Fallen has been posted on the Compendium, written by Jasson Knight and part of a series following the Magus, albeit under different circumstances! It is interesting from the get-go, and recommended. View it at [[Fanfiction:JinxandJedi_Legacies_3|Breathe]]. Additionally, Hadriel has released the second chapter in his fanfiction about Ayla, called The Edge of Forever, about "Ayla's attempt to save her tribe from the impending Ice Age prophesied by Azala...[a quest that] will be like no other she has ever faced." Hadriel immediately dives into engaging dialogue, and allows the reader to peer into Ayla's own thoughts. Check it out at [[Fanfiction:Hadriel_Edge_2|Part II - Converse Echoes]]. Lastly, a new, wonderful piano remix of [[Singing Mountain]], called 'Lonely Mountain,' has been released, done by RainyAida and available in [[Music (Chrono Trigger)]] or below under ReMix Watch.

| − | ===Editorialists Wanted===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 23:42, 21 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | EDITORIALISTS NEEDED! The Chrono Compendium is about to begin featuring weekly polling, which hasn't been done at the site since October 2003, and weekly editorials written by a pool of members in the forums who can contribute on a whim. Editorialists are needed to fill this pool; the process of writing will be fun and will offer fresh outlooks and interpretations of the Chrono series and related events. For instance, the first planned editorial is 'Rate the Chrono Trigger characters in any way you please.' We then average the rankings, and everyone writes a paragraph on why they ranked a particular character in a certain way. Other ideas include Remix Spotlights or commentary on current events, and even supplements to polls. This should be much fun, and isn't a mandatory, weekly requirement. Authors can contribute as they wish. Check it out at http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=511 and post if you'd like to join. There are already six signed up, and more are welcome and encouraged.

| − | ===Beyond Time Released===
| + | |
| − | --[[User:ZeaLitY|ZeaLitY]] 22:55, 18 Dec 2004 (CST)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Leebot has released an article a few months in the making called Beyond Time; its purpose is the examination of temporal phenomena that fall outside the realm of the regular, and it succeeds through rigorous and informative descriptions that impart new perspectives and understandings of such enigmatic topics as the nature of the Black Omen, Pocket Dimensions, and even familiar places, such as the Bend of Time or Temporal Vortex. This is a must-read for any Chrono Scholar or fan who is interested in futher learning of the mechanics in operation behind the scenes of the Chrono games, influencing the plots and making time and dimensional travel consistent. Check it out at [[Beyond Time]]; it has also been released on Gamefaqs.
