Shitty furry RPG that rides on Chrono Trigger's name

>>14242711

It's not shitty at all. You're stupid.

>>14242763

cant get shittier than taking great ideas and doing nothing interesting with them

>>14242547

>What in the holy hell have I just gotten myself into?

judging by that screenshot, you just got into chronopolis

>>14242711

>>14242547

You are entering the point in the game where the script becomes excised sections of Xenogears.

How do you think the game would be remembered today if it had nothing to do with Chrono Trigger? Most of the criticism towards it is about how badly it shits on Chrono Trigger's legacy(which is something I won't deny that it does.) Would it be remembered more fondly if it was it's own thing? Personally, I thought it was about on par with Square's other games from that period.

Glen is best party memeber.

>>14242856

People would realize it's more of a Tropical SaGa game.

>>14242856

Even if you ignore the ties to CT the plot goes to shit during the latter half of the game. The gameplay remains decent throughout though.

>>14242880

It's a shame that none of the interesting mechanics like traps, fields or summons are ever actually used though.

>>14242711

>he doesn't like kemono

But it's /v/ approved kosher furry eastern girls taste!

That party, though.

>>14242801

>Having only a few furry features such as ears doesn't make the whole character furry you faggot

>t. /monster/

>>14242971

>bringing /monster/fags into the mix

Go away /fur/ and or /d/.

>>14242887

fug, I forgot about the summons because I used them so rarely.

I think I used them to see their animations and never again because they were such a pain in the ass to pull off.

Orlha best girl

>>14243107

Who cares as long as Nintendo threads are safe from shitposting, right?

Anyone remember Chrono Crusade?

>>14242763

The writing is shit.

I remember the crushing disappointment of this game.

>the sequel to chrono trigger is finally here, lets go, it's gonna be great

>oh shit it's another final fantasy 8

Since this is more or less the only thread that will ever be appropriate for it, am I the only one who sees the clear line of artistic development between these songs?

>>14245261

>>14245266

>>14242547

blink and you'll ask that the whole damn game

>>14242547

you really want to know? because they explain it.

[spoiler]That's a city from the Good Future created by Crono and pals when they defeated lavos. Because they screwed with time, terrible nonsense happened, and this time research facility was sent back to the distant past where it went to war with the alternate universe where the Reptites didn't go extinct, both capitals having arrived in the distant past.

The entire game is just people being pawns for a future war before Lavos shows back up[/spoiler]

>>14242763

>Bloated character roster with terrible character designs

>Spend a chunk of the game as furfag Magus wannabe

>Strongest boss fight is a fucking dude in a straw hat

>Kingdom Hearts-tier writing that sums up to "lavos dindunuffin"

>Retarded element stacking combat

>Full retard localization

It's trash and a disgrace to the original game.

> Chrono Cross thread

> First post is about how Cross is ass

> Several posts about how Xenogears and Xenosaga are better.

I approve of this thread.

>>14245682

Dead Sea was cool as fuck though.

It's really fun to replay Chrono Trigger

It's a fucking bore to replay Chrono Cross, unless you want to replay it having party members you never used before, which can easily be fucked around on your main file, and also said for any jrpg ever.

Kato was the project manager for Chrono Cross and Xenogears after FFVII was released. This was during the time that Square was hectic, shuffling various projects. Rumor was that Xenogears was the actual CT2 project. Don't be surprised if the music and or visual themes might be similar. One clear distinction is the "Save Point Reveal" where you go to the super-futuristic city (Solaris and Chronopolis) and find out that they create the save points so they can track people's memories an information.

>>14242763

>Chrono Trigger.

>Story about adventure with time traveling.

>Chrono Cross.

>Story about time/dimensional traveling with 2deep4u nonsense that shits all over the player's efforts in the previous game.

Chrono Cross is garbage. Dead Sea is really cool though. There needs to be more "trapped in time" dungeons. But Chrono Cross is still garbage.

>hey there's a couple of furfag characters that can be ignored and one's the villain

>I KNOW, let's make the whole thread about that and ignore the space/time/location question altogether.

This.

Great soundtrack, and that is all.

>>14247304

Writing indeed sucked. Game's worth playing for the soundtrack alone, but Chrono Cross also had an unusually large amount of player choice for a JRPG. You could choose a number of your companions, the way you bust into the castle, and a couple more things. If Chrono Cross were better written, it would've easily gone down as a classic. As it stands though, it's still fun enough to play.

Kill yourself Benjamin.

>>14260253

Kill yourself Jolteon.

>14260279

>14260194

who?

>>14260253

While /monster/ is a pozzed board, kemono and monster girls are two different things. The pair of "monster girls" are kemono, and Felix is kemonomimi, as in just ears and a tail. Kemonomimi is the best of the three, even though that fucking trap is one.

Sage for off-topic.

>>14260253

>words words words

Is this /leftypol/ trying to meme again?

>>14242547

A game that probably would have been better albeit sell less if they weren't trying to ride Chrono Trigger's dick. It's still a good game, but why make it a Chrono Trigger sequel when time travel wasn't in it?

>>14242763

>plot that makes no sense

>6 million characters with no depth

>sales based on brand recognition

SHITTY SHIT SHIT

>>14242547

oh boy

anon you will have to finish the game at least 3 times to start to understand the cluster fuck that was that plot

>>14260296

>is a pozzed board

.t furfag

>>14262296

Not really.

I beat it for the first time last month and I just had to read spoilers for less than 30 minutest o figure out the holes I was missing. They dump most of the relevant information on you at the end of the game.

>>14262357

thats the good of the internet

just when i played the game for the second time i started to put the pieces together, after that every time i finished the game i would understand it a bit more. but never the whole thing completly

>>14242801

t. weeb furfag

>>14242856

Without the Chrono name, I think Cross would be considered an oddity of the system's library, and nothing more, kind of like Enchanted Arms on the PS3. Cross' combat was poorly thought out, there's a huge roster full of characters whose development begins and ends with "You found me, so I'm going to join you now!", and the game waits until just before the last boss to explain anything that had gone on in the last 30+ hours of game. It would be remembered as a strange, mediocre title with one of the best soundtracks ever made.

What the fuck happened to this thread?

>>14260172

Almost all characters were pointless and without any depth or anything to do with the plot at all.

And even those that followed the plot, still were so badly designed (ex: Niki) that playing as them felt more like a forced shore instead of a compeling tale.

And the gameplay sucked. Magic system was so bad that you ended up with tons of magic that you did not use beacuse the attacks were strong enough and needed to access the strongest magic, and by the time that you did that, the monster was dead.

And it had one of the worst summoning systems in games.

>has a Maiddragon thread

>not pozzed

Really activates my fucking almonds

>>14262498

I think the biggest shame is how you can recruit the alternate world version of your girlfriend but there's no special content for having her, not even when you discover what happened to her mising dad. The closest you have is when you take her to see your GF and your GF remarks on her clone standing there and she says "I know rite? You should ask him about this after it's all over" and that's it. There's just nothing, really. Not to mention that Serge canonically marries Kid instead of his gf for no fucking reason.

CC was marred by a lot of bad writing, but it had some cool design other than that. Wish they didn't have everyone fighting with fucking weirdo weapons though.

>>14270473

I never watched enough of it to recall how it connected to Chrono Trigger other than the demon and time egg. Then again I don't think the anime made it that far.

Still I'd like to see a Chrono game take place in 1999 seven days before Lavos erupts where you can time travel freely in that that down to precise minute in real time. The tech would be insane so you're probably stuck in Chronopolis for the whole game.

I think a lot of people just wanted another game that worked exactly like Trigger. Cross was a substantial departure from it in terms of mechanics, which doesn't always go over well. The only really bad things about the game are the overload of characters and being unable to recharge Elements except for some special skills.

>>14242711

But you're only a furry for a short time, it doesn't count

>>14245352

We use double asterisks here, not BBcode. Lurk moar.

>>14273366

With time travel and alternative timelines, they could have easily made a much better sequel than Cross, in the same time line, same characters, same places. I still remember seeing Chrono Cross and shitting myself there was a sequel to one of my favorite jRPG at the time. And then I played it and wondered what the fuck was going on. Only to beat it and find all it really had was a few subtle nods back to CT.

>>14278726

Give them an inch and they'll take the whole board, before you know it. Their faggotry must stay contained.

>>14278740

If you're worried about that you've already failed.

>>14278740

This guy gets it

Found the furfag.

>>14243265

Yes. The anime was pretty good, and the manga was really good. Rosette is still on of my favorite characters in any form of media for a variety of reasons.

That has jack fuck all to to with Chrono Trigger though. BUT it was still somehow a better sequel to Chrono Trigger than Chrono Cross was. Despite being made by an unrelated guy, having an completely unrelated story and world, and unrelated characters, and not even being a video game. On the same point Xenogears was a better sequel than Cross. I would even argue that Bayou BIlly is a better sequel than Cross despite being a bad game and coming out before Trigger.

Chrono Cross was not complete trash. It had some good parts to it and would have been a good stand alone game at the time, like Dew Prism and Brave Fencer Mushashi. But as a sequel to Chrono Trigger it was a dumpster fire.
