...It's the thought that counts, right?
It's rapidly dawning on me that I need to hook up my SNES and run another playthrough. A nice, casual, non-gimmick run. Gotta de-rust that memory somehow, and I feel like I've been wrong (or a little off) a few too many times. I don't even remember why people are shouting for Lucca so hard for the next part!

I can somewhat relate. Reading the LP lately has made me want to finish my current play through of the DS port and do the bonus dungeons, despite everyone telling me not too. Maybe I'll just do it anyway to see how bad it is firsthand.

If I remember correctly, it was in the house that had the locked chest - if you talk to the old man again I think he'll ask you to trade and unlock the chest for you.

E: yeah it was the one in the post above, he opens the dresser for you, not a chest.

Princess and Inventor. Leave Robo to wait for more opportune story telling.

For one, this is Chrono, Marle and Lucca's hometown area. Their backyard. It should be up to them to weed it of the evil that has taken over.
Secondly, Marle is the princess of this realm. She needs to be included in the protection of it. She's the Royal and she's the one who mostly needs to be part of the group to set things to rights, to protect her kingdom and people. It would be wrong to let someone else do it when this is a part of her personal history.
Lastly, she gotta take some responsibility for setting the war back as much as she did. She nearly got the Queen killed (by accident, but still) and she might also be responsible for the food to the front line issue (asking for eye-scream may have distracted the chef from more important work, leading him to experiment with foods instead of focussing on his work and dwindled stock.)

If a Princess won't fight for her people, who else should? Let Marle take part in this venture - it's her history and her responsibility to do so.


Robo'll get his chance to join in on the fun and shenanigans soon enough.

No it's not. This is new territory even for them. Dorino doesn't even exist in their own time. Hell, the mountains they're heading to aren't even the same in 1000 AD. They need Robo to calculate the differences between the two periods.

A-R-E-A. General surrounds. Different time, same place. It's their kingdom, their home area, the place where, in the future, their parents and grandparents and families will be born and raised. It is their land. I mean, you can even meet Lucca's and Marle's ancestors. How connected do you need to be to a place to call it your own?

They were all so wonderful, but A+ winner right here.

Also, I actually kind-of appreciate the added content being an un-fun slog with no story and horrible design tacked on to a game with brilliant level and story design. It makes the choice between "Old translation," "New translation" simple, with no "I want my Woolseyisms, bbbbbbut the bonus deep dungeon is fun..."

All this talk about Ted Woolsey is making me want to play Final Fantasy VI again. “Son of a submariner!” :allears:

I also have a copy of CT my friend gave me that I never got around to playing. Time to remedy this, methinks. Assuming I can find the drat thing.

Also, voting for Leave to use the party he prefers, because he tends to be good at showing things off. :)

I laughed at this because it's not the Masamune in the original text. I was sad and a bit shocked when I played the original and found that out. :saddowns:

Masamune works well in English, and the other name would just weird people out in my opinion.

Yeah the name has kinda grown into it and it fits more than the original I feel. Plus growing up with all the early SNES jrpg's the Masamune was anything from a long sword to a katana to Sephiroth's extreme compensator etc.

Plus Chrono Cross helped cement it even further.

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
The folks at the bridge will have new things to say after your victory- if you'd visited them earlier, they also would have mentioned that Frog crossed the bridge singlehandedly after he exiled himself.

The whirlwind energy quote is pretty infamous- as leavemywife said, it's important, but the Woolsely translation of it made it borderline incomprehensible-presumably he didn't realize what it was referring to.

Funny story time: when I was younger and I first did this, I talked to the guy again. As a note, I had no idea what a "bromide" was.

"Ehehehe, my very own Naga-ette pet!" or something along the lines is what he said.

That made me think we got this guy a baby Naga or something to raise.
