Chrono Trigger

[silverthunder]

I have spent close to 24 hours (not all in one shot, obviously) on Chrono Trigger, and I just have some of the quests to go through before I face Lavos (although I think I'm going to need to level a lot more before I try it, since the fight is supposed to be pretty epic).

I found a fun AMV. (spoilers for the game)

It basically merges some of the cutscenes with techno music. I like it (even though there needs to be more Ayla!), but I wish there was more footage to include. What I'd really like is an actual anime based on this game. A good one.

When I first heard about the game from Cody, I looked it up for more info. There were reviews out there calling this the best RPG of all time. Now that I've played it, I have to say I agree (and I've been exposed to a lot of them through Cody). The plot is pretty intricate, and totally engaging. The characters are well-developed. The music is excellent. The gameplay is straightforward and easy to get used to. I want to see the story animated.

Someone on DeviantArt started to make a comic but it's not finished and I want to see more of the story laid out like that.

Seriously. This game is epic. If you have a DS, Playstation, or SNES and you haven't played it, pick it up and play it. It'll be worth it.

I think I DLed a SNES emulator just for this game. And played five minutes of it *g*
Maybe I'd do more if I actually spent money on it. And I might just do that if it really is out for DS.

It is out for DS. It's the only game system I actually use (besides the Wii and the computer), which is why I haven't played CT until now.

I recommend getting it if you can. It really is a good game.

Huh. Attempts at googling it reveals that CT never was released in Europe before. And coming in Februray, so I guess I'll wait for it and maybe even try to finish one of the fifteen other games I've started but never finished.

[silverthunder]

Only fifteen? XD You're not as bad as Cody.

I intend to play the game again so that I can unlock the new stuff they added in the DS version.

Wouldn't be so bad if I had actually finished more than two video games in my whole life (three if you count "getting married in Harvest Moon").
