He exists if you don't go into the past and fix up the castle before you go to the castle in like 1000AD

It's not even worth counting as anything but a story event. The battle just ends after a certain amount of time passes. I'd say Nu Spekkio and Lavos at the Ocean Palace, first run through, are the toughest fights in the game.

I dunno..I kinda found Masa and mune to be a bit of a bitch. given the time and everything.

Certain fights can also be very difficult for the unprepared team.

For instance, attempting to beat Fiona's subquest without having a water innate (Frog, Marle, Magus) in your team.

Still, Red Nu is the hardest legitimate battle, for any team. Ocean Palace Lavos is designed to be impossible, except for New Game Plus players.

Zerg, there's a guy on Something Awful who beat that battle without emulation/cheating with Crono, Robo, and Frog. It's quite beatable the first time around.

Pics or it didn't happen.

(He level-grinded, didn't he)

Of course he freaking level grinded, and there's a video of it up on Viddler if you need visual proof.

You talking about the countdown for their "Yes indeed" attack? If you hit them with Crono's slash, it cancels the countdown.

I was watching this dude do an insane speed run. He beat the game just under 4 hours. Good usage of items, stat studying, level planning, and slick usage of Ayla's Dino Tail tech were his main tools.

I was replaying this a year or two ago cause it had been such a long time, and I level-grinded a bit. When I actually got there, I had forgotten that the Ocean Palace battle wasn't the final Lavos battle, and did everything I could [save cheating, except for loading savestates, if that counts] to finish the battle. It was one hell of a hard fight, but I 'accidentally' beat the game and wondered where the rest of it went.

The best part though was watching the credits fly by Krusty the Clown style.

The Ocean Palace..that was the Black Omen battle right?

If It was I actually remember that battle (sorta) and I do remember beating it because that was the most annoying battle ever.

Where is Red Nu located at? What point in the game I can't remember.

It's Spekkio's final form, available when you meet the prerequisite level.

Which is basically Crono at Level ** (aka 100)

Not basically, precisely at level **. Anything before that and he's still at his Masamune stage.

Square Enix: America, You Get Chrono Trigger DS Before Japan

Request for an upload of that CD when its out, pretty please?

Looks like this remake might feature a mini game of leveling monsters similarly to Pokemon....seems kind of strange to me, but at least it sounds like a nice addition to the game instead of a feature almost no one would be interested in.

Chrono Trigger remake adds a little Pokemon

If this is true I'm so leveling those goblins and rolypoly things from when you first go to 600AD

Holy god, the comments to that article . . . . "IS THAT GOKU WITH A SWORD IS THAT A CHARACTER FROM THE REMAKE?"




(you can tell it's not Goku because of the red hair)

Can we pretty please implement the SA forum's scheme of banning people for posts like that pretty please

I am woefully offtopic but wow... just wow posts make my blood boil

Additional Spam:
This is totally not what Chrono Trigger needed. I'm all for adding little flairs to a remake, but adding Pokemon to like Chrono Trigger is like... adding Pokemon to Chrono Trigger. Seriously. Chrono Trigger is JUST FINE. Add a map on the touch screen, add a dungeon, but for god's sake leave the gameplay alone.

I don't know. I'd be nice to have your own pet Naga-ette without needing any silly Bromides! :D

The hell makes you think the gameplay's changed any? All we know about this is a leaked blurb from a retailer's website. There's no gameplay details at all.

For all you know, it's probably a completely skippable minigame. Doesn't sound like the game itself has been changed at all.

Tell me, does Bejeweled in WoW ruin WoW? Is that exactly what WoW didn't need? Does it hurt it in some way? Or what.

Agreed. I don't think Nintendo could risk completely altering gameplay/removing pieces.

That would be like SQUEEEENIX taking out the Crazy Motorcycle part from FF7.

Basically fans would really fireback in a negative way against Nintendo.

I'd have been fine with it.

The Crazy Motorcycle---what?

Pokemon in Chrono Trigger---what?

CRAZY POKEMON ON MOTORCYCLES IN CHRONO TRIGGER----hell yeah!

(Also, if there was a Pokemon-esque breeding centre, I take it Flea would only be able to reproduce with Ditto?)

This Game and Kirby which hits in a few hours...My god where will I fit LBP in.


I know I'm going to be playing this a heck of a lot just because I want the endings.

I wonder if they'll do like what they did for the Playstation and add the whole cutscene option thing.

SOOOO EXCITEEDDD!!
