[DS] Chrono Trigger DS - Retards complaining about a new optional ending. Fun inside!

Hm. Well, I'm guardedly excited for another classic port. Sure, it will be a direct port from the PSX version with a few DS things tossed in, but hey. At least it's one way to be sure Square is giving us a good game for a change.


Right?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, looks like this is actually happening.

In before Nomura redesigns the characters and this turns to shit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But seriously, it's at least somewhat exciting. As long as they add something new and a redone translation it'd at least be worth replaying.

Wow. Okay, if you're going to be smarmy, here's a quick lesson: Make sure your sarcastic analogy makes sense. Since there are no summons in CT, you managed to fail. Really badly. And in public.

Sorry.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

in all seriousness after seeing that i'm actually kind of excited, but kind of scared. i'm really hoping if it is going to be a port to the ds, they aren't going to try to "touch it up" like they did with ff4, i hated those freaking graphics.

Please remember when you're not posting on 4chan that it helps to bring your brain. Thanks.

Also, in before the speculation hits the fan because the RPG Forum kiddies come in swinging their LARP swords and yelling about how this is either the very best thing to ever happen to video games, or the very worst.

I'm giving it twenty posts before someone compares it to nazis.

In fairness, the only thing worse than Toriyama design is a Nomura design.

How ya doing, buddy?

Okay. Why?

I mean... It's the best damn game they ever made. And what happens? It NEVER got released over here. NEVER. Not Trigger, not the PS1 Port, not Cross.
And this one again has just a US / JP date. Up to know of course, but given the (inexistant) history of the series over here, that doesn't bode well.

A) No it isn't.

B) Import.

FELIPE NO

Still... I'd just like to see the series finally making the jump over the pond...

Well, can't blame you. Europe gets boned pretty hard.

Because I always considered CT to be one of my personal favorites, if not the "best game ever" kind of deal.

I'd call CT one of the best ever. Definitely of its generation, at least.

That shit-eating grin on Crono is horrendous. And besides, it's not like he ever displays a single emotion in the game. Why would he grin smugly for the promo art?

If Squeenix wants to make any improvements at all, hire someone else to do the new promo art, then rationalize that the sprites are nearly fifteen years old, of course they're going to look way off by comparison.

You and I both know Nomura would do the redesign. And what's the only thing worse than Toriyama drawing characters? Nomura putting white glue on a bristle board and then throwing belts, zippers and shoes at it while laughing maniacally.

"CHEQUE PLEASE?" :HAND OUT:

They were still using their intellectual property. Square was well within their legal rights to end this.

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

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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

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.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm sure GELB-1 will run in here to spirit some kind of defense, but the fact of the matter is that plot that sounds interesting on paper and battle systems/scenarios that either hold up at one point in the game or just don't fucking matter is more than enough to call this game a piece of crap.

Don't theory up a defense for Chrono Cross, because the game is fucking garbage and mediocre at best.

So basically you're proving my point that the game gets ripped on too much. I'm not saying it's brilliant. It's not. It's middling. It's a middling game I really enjoyed, but it's not nearly as bad as the fandom makes it out to be. They treat it like it's Paladin's Quest.

The game is shit.

When I say it's crap and you guys want to go "BUT IT'S NOT DIARRHEA", it's worth a chuckle.

Here you go again with your universalist bullshit. Sure things were done better in other games. But just because someone else does it well doesn't mean it sucks in everything else.

The world is not made up of extremes, Rotor. One day you'll figure this out and you'll be a lot less worked up.

The game was fun, had unbelievable music and played well. Get over the fact you don't like it and realise you're reacting like a child. We're not saying it's terrible or great, we're saying you're reactionary and kind of proving our point about how people treat the game like it killed the jews. It just didn't. I get you need to pound your chest in game discussions. I understand that. But lighten up, sport. The game just wasn't that bad.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

So we have no actual disagreement. The only problem is that you don't think the soundtrack and final story arc save the game and I do.

I still say you're pulling a reverse FF VII and spending too much time loathing a game that was pretty middling, but you're not going to change your perspective on it, and you're sure as fuck not going to change mine.

I think the expectation that what happened makes it "okay" is pretty slapstick. You know, the fact we're seeing a Chrono Trigger DS and not a Chrono Cross PS3/360 is where it's evident shit is wrong.

Chrono Trigger is as close to perfection as some RPGs can get. Square wants money and I'd just as soon want Square to make up for 1999/2000 and the shit many of us saw. There is no middle ground, I agree. I agree there's some cool shit in Chrono Cross, but I will never say that game is "good" or "fun to play." It all just depends on your disposition in that regard, so I'm willing to say there's a bias in me. But I sure as fuck won't let someone waltz in and go "Those people are crazy for saying that, the game is great! I liked it!" I called out the "making the connection" shit, because frankly... the game connected to it, the "experience" is just so disappointing and meandering. It's the very definition of wasted potential.

I swear, the only thing keeping my hands from clasping the necks of post creators like that is the monitor and internet between us.

Chrono Trigger doesn't need a remake, and what bothers me is doing this first, when Chrono Cross deserves another chance.

Hey, I agree. I'd rather see a CC remake that fixed a lot of the broken stuff. But we both know CT will sell much better. So that's what they do.
