Neige posted:*disparaging remarks about frog* One of the ways Chrono Trigger seriously holds up as an rpg is balance. What this dude says is not really wrong; Frog on average is one of the weaker party members in terms of overall game mechanics. But because CT's dev team put serious thought into the dynamics of the party, this doesn't really matter because a) he still gets some handy moves and useful dual-techs, so even if he's not the optimal scientifically best party member to use he's still contributing and b) there are absolutely portions of the game he's undeniably the best PC mechanically. Of course that's a conversation to have in more depth much later when we've actually seen more PCs and how the game works in terms of enemy design and boss fights.

Why is it that people feel so compelled to post spoilers in a no spoilers thread? E: it seems i misconstrued the comment above as an actual spoiler rather than a joke spoiler due to the tags.

Er, when we did the first vote, I was thinking that we also voted Default Name for ALL characters, just just Marl and Lucca... Ah well. Frog is my vote!

I hope default names win until out of nowhere we end up with a character named Larry or something.

Oh, before I forget, I should set a time limit for this voting. I forget to do that; I'm used to updating daily and just letting voting end whenever I feel like it. For this voting, how about...8:00 PM, Thursday? Then when I get home from work on Friday, if I'm not too pooped, I'll write an update. I've got something special (I hope) for the boss fight. Well, it'll either be special or "special" in that  sort of way.

Frog A really nice touch that you can kinda see in the screenshots, but hasn't been explicitly pointed out/gif'd yet is how Frog hops when he moves, instead of walking like the other two. ShallowKnave posted:Frog is fine. In the original SNES translation, I always took his verbal tick as a sign that he's trying really, really hard to live up to the vision of what a true and noble knight should be. How else are people supposed to take a little frog-dude seriously as the Queen's Protector? Well, one way would be to prevent the queen from being kidnapped by cathedral dwelling snakes, just saying.  Back when I played the SNES version, also I thought he was trying super hard to live up to how he thought a knight should act and talk. I stole this point from the Coughing Hobo LP on the archives, but it's most definitely important enough that it must be brought up here as well. It is a crime against humanity that SA doesn't have a Frog version of  someone with talent really needs to address this glaring oversight.

He can walk but when running he hops. Also to provide a counterpoint: If Chrono and Lucca weren't here, he'd being doing this solo. I don't see him having any problems at all with this.

Nice to see you got mods removing spoilers for you.  Also, why are your pics so blurry? The text in the boxes seems so messy. Is that a result of playing on the DS? Caulk that up as another reason to skip it. Also, name Frog *SPOILERS REMOVED* EDIT: Name him Billy Ray ______ (What the blank is  )

Actually, my pics are blurry because I was using the wrong resize option in AvsPmod. I figured it out (i.e., Explosionface told me what to do), and my shots should be much better looking now.

You know, I'm fairly tempted. On one hand, I want to vote for leaving Frog's name as-is, as that's how the game introduces him - a common frog. On the other hand, I want to suggest naming him Leave to commemorate Yang in his FF4 LP. Decisions, decisions...

Used to play this game so much when I was younger. Count me in for Frog. It's just too classic of a name. Looking forward to the next video. Btw, I've never used Frog much, either. And we haven't even met 2/3 of my favorite party yet. Can't wait for more.
