Let's... Trigger the Chronos. (What if...)

Don't you think maybe you should use a different sprite for Lucca's mother? You know, one without feet?

I never thought of chasing Frog to the bridge before. It's cool that they had a line changed for that moment.

Yeah, I had the same thought.

...............this is when it gets railroaded a bit. I always thought it was BS how I can be guilty in the trial. So I reloaded, did things differently.....and...I still got jailed.

 

[Fowyr]

It's JRPG after all

One Obsidian trial coming right up!

Bullshit, there are several jrpgs with actual choices and consequences, some examples would be:

SMT1-3 plus Strange Journey, Steambot Chronicles, Breath of Fire series (in all of them there's at least one alternate ending, and in the second one if you screw up you will not be able to get the best ending), SMT: Devil survivor (plenty of choices, bad ones included), Planescape: Torment...

Aw shit. I completely forgot about that. FIXED

CT does have limited C&C in whether you do some of the side quests and how you approach the end of the game. There are also the alternate endings but I don't think that counts because you have to access those through new game+ anyway.

Indeed. Several quests and afair one optional dungeon. Also I can't remember much now, but some alternative endings was hilarious.

Spoiler

Like dinoCrono

 

[Damned Registrations]

Depending on how you want to define 'dungeon' and 'optional' I can think of at least 2, and as many as 7, off the top of my head.

 

[Fowyr]

I mean the Dark Omen. What was second optional dungeon?

No...actually there's one ending where you don't have to start a new game to access. Which is pretty brave, I feel.

I didn't even think of the Omen as being particularly optional. It leads directly to the last boss, it's pretty much the final dungeon. Though you can skip it (Technically you can skip everything past your first visit to the end of time if you grind enough to win the bucket fight.) I always thought of it as part of the main story. As for other optional dungeons: Giant's Claw, Geno Dome, Cyrus' Grave, Magus' Lair, the mountain you go to for something really spoilerly. I didn't think the sand lair or the sun keep fights counted as dungeons, but those other ones are all fairly complex. And if the Omen is optional, all of the above certainly are as well.

Oh noes ! The evil Chancellor is determined to get Crono arrested on terrorist charges. Things look really bad for our hero. What will the sentence be ? Hanging ? The tickling sentence ? The electric chair ? A good old fashioned Guillotine ?

Hey there's a jury here, maybe Crono has a chance after all !

...no, He didn't.


Hey, this Pierre looks like a duchebag but he seems he knows his shit.

The two met by chance, and it was by no means intentional.


Oh crap, the Chancellor is cross-examining us !

The answer here plays a role in the outcome of the trial, if we lie the Chancellor will bring witnesses that will say otherwise...

I was the one who made the first move.

Good ! As you all have heard, feigning chance, the defendant approached the princess.

We recall that fateful moment of clumsiness...

Many people are witnesses to that. And then, the two disappeared... If this isn't kidnapping, then what on earth is it ?

That's my Pierre ! Bringing incline long before Phoenix Wright !

Does this have any relevance to the current case ? ...no, it doesn't.

Is there relevance, Chancellor ?

Yes. There is a need to establish the defendant's morals in order to evaluate if his testimony is trustworthy !

Fine.

Hah, we were ready for this move !

Hmm, I remember that little girl from somewhere...

This person... He brought me my kitty. Thanks for helping me.

How about that ! This young person's conduct ? Worthy of a medal.

Pierre you Matlock, you ! Thank god we haven't broken any law up to now, right ?

Aw shit. Have we ? Maybe some petty theft at a difficult time ? We shouldn't lie here either...

I... may have.

See ?! The defendant is lacking in morals. This should be on the record. He's crying out for help !


Uh-Oh.

Crap, we're busted. It was after that Robo fight and we desperately needed to grab a bite...

There is no room for sympathy for a defendant who would even deprive an honestly living man of his simple pleasures !

The problem is motive. Where is the motive for this citizen to kidnap Princess Marledia ? ...There is none.

Sorry to contradict you, but what if I say you purpose for approaching her was her wealth, Crono ?

fuck no ! our eyes were solely on dat ass !

Absolutely not !

Do you truly have no interest in her wealth ?!

Not at all !

Hah, up yours chancellor !

As you can see he is a young man with a strong sense of justice. Now, your, honor, the verdict.

Jurors. Go, those who think he is guilty to the left, those who think he is not guilty to the right !

Oh crap he looks like a friend of that old man we stole the lunch from, we're doomed !

Phew... hey, another old-timer !

Fuck. I knew they were in cahoots !

The suspense is killing me.

Do we really have a chance ?!

Damn, don't do this to me...

:clap:

Yep, if we're deemed guilty, we're sentenced to death but if we're deemed not guilty we're still going to prison, thankfully for only three days...

But Marle comes to the rescue !

P-Princess...

Father ! Please listen !

I simply want you to behave like a proper princess in the castle. Even if you're royalty you must abide by the country's rules... Leave the rest to the Chancellor.

But...

Marledia, you forget about what happened in the town, too.

Hey, it's only three days, right ?

He has been found guilty, and you must now carry his sentence.


The guard kicks us in the ass. Police brutality !

So THIS guy's the monster who kidnapped the princess.

His execution's in 3 days. Keep watch so you won't let him escape.

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT ?! I was only confined for three days !!

Execution ? I've heard nothing about any such thing...

Never mind that. The paperwork's probably delayed. Or, don't you believe my word ?

Th-That is surely not the case !

He is lying !! I'm innocent goddammit !!


Yep, it's like the trial in that shitty game.

Get away from me you bastards !

We're fucked.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Oh. :/

 

[Erebus]

As far as consequences are concerned, the trials in Chrono Trigger and NWN 2 are indeed pretty similar.

 

[Fowyr]

Oh. Seems I forgot much about CT.

I believe Feargus Urquhart said that Chrono Trigger is one of his favorite games.

I see that image in my nightmares sometimes

.............I.....what?

 

[Xor]

Fucking modders ruin everything.

 

[ghostdog]

.............I.....what?

I believe someone shopped that, hopping Obsidian would make a CT sequel.

The 3D image is probably from an actual CT fan-sequel/remake that was in the making, until Squarenix shut them down.

 

[RK47]

Shit, you could've fooled me.

But I thought Daikatana IS Chrono Trigger Reloaded?

 

[spekkio]

It looks like a certain dawg
finally found his favourite ghostbone...



Great job so far.

But I'm suprprised you didn't go with some shitty scaler for graphics...

 

[Radisshu]

Chrono's backdrops are usually really impressive for a SNES RPG, I seriously think the only SNES game that does them better is Seiken Densetsu 3.
