Will this version have the extra ending which links CT to CC??

I need to hear more about which extras are being included before I purchase.

Chrono Cross was an obtuse game.
You either learned how it worked or it raped you. There is really no middle ground to it...

I can't wait for this game!

I don't see mention of the anime cinemas from the PS1 version. Awww....

I prefer the new dungeons over the cutscenes, but I'd still rather have both.

Box Art

hehehe

That box art is awesome! Frogman is back bitch!

vudu · « **Reply #56 on:** August 25, 2008, 02:27:30 PM »

Why's everyone so gaga over the boxart? It looks exactly like the SNES boxart, except it's shrunk down so they could fit the whole thing in.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #57 on:** August 25, 2008, 02:46:33 PM »

I would've preferred them to do something new and different with the boxart, but oh well I guess its alright as is.

Stogi · « **Reply #58 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:10:16 PM »

I've never seen the original box art.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #59 on:** August 26, 2008, 01:10:11 PM »

I never realized this before, but the box art shows Marle using the wrong kind of magic.

vudu · « **Reply #60 on:** August 26, 2008, 02:11:31 PM »

It looks like it's supposed to be Arc Impulse, but I guess Ice doesn't show up so well when your background is white.

Or I supposed it could be Delta Force and they drew Marle instead of Lucca, but that seems like a pretty big **** up.

Stogi · « **Reply #61 on:** August 27, 2008, 11:13:30 PM »

Dude, you guys are super hardcore.

Mashiro · « **Reply #62 on:** August 27, 2008, 11:32:18 PM »

Yeah it's the wrong move given the characters but it's been like that since the SNES release. It's artwork from Akira Toriyama (one of several) which could have been made during a time when she had fire moves or he just wasn't aware of the move sets.

Played this a little at PAX, and it was enough to know I'll buy it. I mean, it's Chrono Trigger, I'd probably buy it no matter what. The controls were solid with buttons or the stylus, it sounded good, and everything was just the way it should be. I did notice one minor graphical update- the text looked different, and the Square guy there confirmed that it's a new font. I liked it, it looked better on the small DS screen. Speaking of which, the whole thing was maybe the nicest I've seen Chrono Trigger look, small screens tend to be flattering to pixel graphics. The demo ended after I left Truce Canyon, so I didn't get to see too much, but this seems to be everything I want it to be and nothing I don't. I'm pleased.

Which do you believe is right?

Kairon · « **Reply #66 on:** September 06, 2008, 07:39:35 PM »

Hmm... my guess is that the US is getting it in November, and that the game is just delayed a little bit more for Europe.. the way things USED to be, before Europe started getting equal (well... less UNequal) treatment.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #67 on:** September 10, 2008, 11:40:34 PM »

Amazon fixed the date November 25th 2008.

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #68 on:** September 11, 2008, 12:16:53 AM »

Good no date babies. I don't think I'm gonna get this now, but maybe in the future.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #69 on:** September 21, 2008, 04:03:54 PM »

One of the extra features is Monster Battling

nickmitch · « **Reply #70 on:** September 24, 2008, 12:31:46 AM »

Chronomon.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #71 on:** September 24, 2008, 02:00:24 AM »

Monster battling is also a standard feature in modern Dragon Quest games, and it was spun off into the DQ Monsters series.

Right you are Jonny

Amazon Pre-Order Bonus

Dasmos · « **Reply #74 on:** October 25, 2008, 10:24:57 AM »

EDIT: My Bad.

Instead of following Maxi's link, getting angry that the only "pre-order bonus" visible is $5 off your next Amazon purchase, writing a post berating Maxi's "provide-a-link-with-very-little-explanation-or-description" style of posting. I'll just quote what the real pre-order bonus is, so nobody makes my mistake.

Quote

Pre-order Chrono Trigger and receive the Chrono Trigger Orchestral Extras. The CD, containing "Chrono Trigger Theme" and "Chrono Trigger Medley," will be packed with the game. Offer good while supplies last. Promotion valid only when sold and shipped by Amazon.com.

It doesn't interest m ein the slightest, but those VGM guys would probably lap it up.
