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

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

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.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

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

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

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

They are very fucking far beyond comparison.

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

I'd recommend that nobody clicks this spoiler unless they want a piece of new content completely and utterly fucking ruined for them (as it was for me).

Spoiler:

No, really.

Spoiler:

Time Devourer?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Gragh, Lost Sanctum is frustrating me. Just encountered the git with the golden hammer, and now can't find him. Walkthroughs are unhelpful. So. Stuck. Where is he?

edit: Disregard that, I just plain suck. Turns out you have to clear out all the other enemies first.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
