Maybe it's gonna like that chocobo game for FF8? It didn't really affect the game.

But that wasn't even really for FF8 was it? That was just something for the pocketstation.

I had the PC version of FF8. The chocobo mini-game was very very useful in buffing my characters up without leveling up further - a bonus in a game where enemies match your level.

Sure, it's cheating, since I modified the mini-game save files to yield 99 "A" items. But I prefer to think of it as time compression, something I could have done given enough time anyway :tpg:

Also, it made the chocobo summon stronger (who uses that), which also carries over to regular gameplay. I'm guessing this pokemon thing'll be a diversion, although if they stick in something to make it worthwhile, it might be worth looking at and then ignoring (Dark Cloud 2 fishing anyone?).

So, the whole creature-battling thing has been explained. From Chrono Compendium:

Quote:

Square's North American member's unit dropped new information and screenshots on the "Arena of the Ages" today, where players can train and battle monsters against each other. At the Arena, one can talk to the Stable Master to receive a "Smidge", or a base level monster that looks like a hairless Nu with an elemental affinity. Players can begin battling right away or can simply leave the monster to train while you continue your quest against Lavos. Monster training depends on eras you've visited, and later eras give better benefits. You can battle monsters with a computer opponent or a friend, and use special arena-only items to help your monster. Both players receive items after a fight, but the winner receives better items (including rare items not found anywhere else in Chrono Trigger).

By the way, this page inadvertently confirms that Lightning has been changed to Light.

Hmmm...I still don't know about that monster training mini-game. It sounds great and everything, but I don't know if it'll add much to the game.
The "rare items" sound like they're Arena-only anyway. It's almost like they tacked a pokemon-esque game on or something.

New IGN article reveals something very intriguing.

Quote:

Two added dungeons have made their way into the game, as did a wireless mode which we'll have a full hands-on with next week (it's a local wireless monster battle game that's built into the main Chrono Trigger quest), and on top of that a gigantic list of options, which we'll detail below. As for the dungeons themselves, you'll get both the Dimensional Vortex and Lost Sanctum. The Vortex will become available after beating the game, and is actually the 14th alternate ending in the game, while the Lost Sanctum is a mid-game quest, added in to include more story and deliver some new equipment.
An extra ending could either retcon it into being properly connected with Chrono Cross, or set it up for a sequel...

I won't get my hopes up.

You watch, it'll just be the ending where Glenn becomes human except he porks Magus in the ultimate act of forgiveness/fanservice.

And here I was thinking we tried to improve things with these remakes.

Except that there's nothing saying that's what it is.

I think he's trying to point out that of all the things to hope they do in the remake that that's a pretty bad one to hope for.

Square-Enix wanted to be the REBEL.

Except we both blowed up. So no dice for you, Fagriz.

It's like a message board delay is involved, nigga.

Exactly. I'm hoping it's neither of the things about which I speculated.

Kairi Li Oct 24, 2008 06:57 PM

Hmm, is it just me or...

Spoiler:
does the area in the Dimensional Vortex look like the dead sea from Cross? A post above had a theory that it could be the ending that ties to Cross. Seeing that video seems to imply that.

No. Hard Pass. Oct 24, 2008 07:07 PM

Well, as someone who doesn't hate Cross, I'd be fine with it. Not like it will alter the core game of Trigger any.

And you're right, Kairi, in that one shot it looks like the initial entrance to the Dead Sea.

Rotorblade Oct 24, 2008 07:11 PM

Yeah, it'll just place it next to a steaming pile of shit. That's cool.

Zergrinch Oct 24, 2008 08:01 PM

Ah, they're using that unused Battle Theme for the Arena, and the unused Singing Mountain song for the bonus dungeon. Excellent.

Don't see any new tilesets though :(

By your opinion, son. Wah wah wah, it's different from this thing I liked. Great music, interesting tie-ins to the previous game (albeit handled in a poor manner) and great visuals.

Game was over-slagged. Get over it.

Krelian Oct 24, 2008 08:42 PM

Chrono Trigger is an apple. Chrono Cross is a hatstand.

They are very fucking far beyond comparison.
