I haven't heard much new about this so I looked it up and apparently, the (very short) PS1 cutscenes are in the game which was quietly confirmed at E3. Nice though it really wasn't a deal breaker. I made up my mind to buy this game in hopes that if enough people support the DS port, Square Enix will consider Chrono 3. If nothing else, I'll have paid $40 for a some extras added to a game I already own... which is still worth more than the $40 I was perfectly willing to shell out for Baroque.

I'm not, because I've beat the SNES version at least four times (from the beginning; none of this New Game + bullshit), most recently a couple years ago.

Anyone who hasn't played this game before needs to immediately.

I'm waiting for a price drop since I bought a crazy amount of games yesterday:

Best buy: Simpsons game for 360 (9.99), Ninja Town DS (14.99). Amazon: Dead Space PS3 (29.99), Shaun White Snowboarding Road Trip Wii (29.99), Heavenly Sword PS3 (19.99), Too Human 360 (19.99) 2000 Wii Points card (17.99).

Today from Amazon I bought the Simpon's Movie for 5.99 and Personal Trainer: Cooking for 4.99. Right now I'm knee deep in RPGs and backlog so I'm waiting for a sale since I dislike buying DS games at 39.99.

And now I'm hearing Amazon might make new game deals this whole weekend and maybe Cyber Monday I need to save my cash.

LOL

I'll get the game shortly even though i'm not too into RPGs

Tybo68 · « **Reply #86 on:** December 01, 2008, 12:41:02 AM »

I bought the game even though I should have just waited. I could have gotten it for christmas but oh well. I missed out on this and most of the super nintendo RPGs because I was only a little guy back then. So far its as good as people have said it is.

This pretty much sums up my anticipation level too... I coulda/shoulda waited till Christmas, but just couldn't.

I could have sworn that I played this game when I was a kid, but it all seems brand new to me now. So... wow.

The way it slightly twists the conventions of the RPG genre are just really satisfying. It's almost like someone who only played one or two early RPGs made this game, branching it off away from the DQs and FFs. Even something so simple as closing the curtains in "my" room in the game was unexpected and thus glee-inducing. It also seems like it can get very theatrical, reminds me in ways of FFVI so far (court room scene, in particular)... the FMVs are fun, too. I was also surprised at how little things I'd done earlier in the game came back to bite/help me later on (again, court room scene who would've known that because I helped this kid find her cat, she'd testify on my behalf later on! or because I ate some old dude's sandwich, he'd come testify against me too D: It made me think, "There are repercussions for what I do in this game... I better be careful!")

I'm just really enjoying it... can't wait to get home and put some more time into it!

Unfortunately, they don't matter quite as much as they seem to. Even if you're found innocent the chancellor still locks you up.

Hmm... well, I guess that's fine anyways. They'd have to find another reason for me to eventually fight a frickin' Dragon Tank! anyways, which rocked.

Ooh, something else which I thought was really cool was that the game really runs the gamut when it comes to emotions... I'm not very far, but so far I've seen everything from humor beating the dragon tank, then watching the bridge crumble, and running over the backs of the chancellor and his goons was pretty funny, or just before that where you search the unconscious guard (that Lucca just whupped to spring you from jail), it's like "You've found a med-potion!" "Actually... you've found 5!") to sadness when you're in the future and you go down into the food storage area for the people, and find the woman's husband, wrapped in his cloak and leaning against the wall, dead. The little kid when you get back is just like, "When is Daddy coming back?"

in spades. It's really pretty remarkable.

I'm just impressed at the game's breadth and zany unpredictability, I guess. Awesome.

RABicle · « **Reply #93 on:** December 12, 2008, 10:07:03 AM »

COuldn't wait. Ordered my US copy last night along with Persona 4. I guess I have to mod my Ps2 now.

haha, good comic. I actually had to pay $49.99 + tax. I think they're raising the prices back to how they used to be here in Canada. Bastards.

decoyman · « **Reply #95 on:** December 12, 2008, 03:00:21 PM »

Agree w/ Caliban, good comic bosshogx!

I got mine for $36.99, which isn't as good as $29.99 but better (slightly) than $39.99. I did the Amazon thing w/ no tax and free shipping, and also got a 2-song soundtrack CD as a preorder bonus, all of which helped dull the sting somewhat.

bosshogx · « **Reply #96 on:** December 13, 2008, 05:39:14 PM »

Thanks for the support. I always feel a bit guilty pimping my comic here, so I try not to link directly to the image itself.

Anyways, I haven't picked the game up yet, but plan on doing so in January. Here's hoping someone gets it for me as a Christmas gift. If not, I can probably find it cheaper online or off a friend.

Yeah, I was going to post this earlier. I didn't even notice the soundtrack until last night (I'm not opening the game until Christmas, but took the cd out a bit early). I think it's a great deal, and worth the extra cash as long as you get the extras.

Also enjoyed the comic. It's sad that it's there, but we'll still pay for it.

Tybo68 · « **Reply #98 on:** December 15, 2008, 02:19:11 AM »

I can't remember what I paid for it but I just finished it and damn, that is one great game.

decoyman · « **Reply #99 on:** December 15, 2008, 08:33:13 AM »

Ditto, Tybo... in fact, as soon as I was done, I set up a new game

I thought I was gonna get my life back once the game was done, Chrono Trigger! How dare you!
