(eventually)". Limited continues were A Thing.

Along with the realization that it's not a joke weapon, so I only spent 3/4 the time using sweet homing lasers instead of 99% of the time. The biggest problem I'd have to say the game would have for people trying it out for the first time, is the "limited continues, play it in one sitting" situation making up for it's overall short length (There are extra side stages complete with space harrier references, but the main game is 8 short stages long). So while fun to watch, a thread OP of it would essentially be "Here is my successful playthrough! Stay tuned for bonus stages!" The live action acting spliced into the opening cutscene meanwhile, has aged perfectly  This has been off topic as hell, but hey you're fun to watch playing a fun game. So it beats seeing more empty space between your updates while I remember gently caress all about the fine details of the game I haven't played in probably a decade  I played a tiny bit of Gran Turismo #??? and quit in shame Section Z fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Feb 25, 2017 |

It's not exactly "interesting" but if you want an armor upgrade it's there.

Since it's not taking place in Space, science tunnels, or robot planets with bio monsters and giant motorcycles that split into a pair of giant robots.

Part 13 - Getting Hammered with Toma In this update we cross a bridge. So Tyrel and I were geared up to have a nice long Chrono Trigger session when my pc just turned off randomly and we lost a bunch of footage. I think my power cord for my pc is wonky cause it's happened a few times before. Then, I poo poo you not, I went to load the backup save and play back to that part and the backup file was gone. Like, only the backup, my endgame save and the normal save were still there. I was excited to maybe have a more frequent upload schedule but the gods of let's play won't have it. I mean it's not too bad I guess, it's not like we lost a 200 hour elder scrolls save or something. Anyway we should still be doing the 2 a week thing, just gotta play back to where we are in the game. Just wanted to give a boring update on where we're at.

Sucks you lost the footage, and the save. Hope playing back to this point isn't too much of a chore. I've never actually managed to get very far in Chrono Trigger; I only remember up to the dragon tank fight from my original playthrough, and every time I've tried it after that I get distracted or something before I even make it that far. Kinda looking forward to seeing the rest of the game at this point. My one complaint about it thus far is, it seems like physical attacks (with anyone but Crono at least) kind of become useless after you get magic. Like in this last video, everything you used the Attack command on just kind of shrugged it off without any significant damage.

Like in this last video, everything you used the Attack command on just kind of shrugged it off without any significant damage. Oh don't worry, I would say this part of the game is still part of the magic tutorial. You would think that it would end after Heckran Cave but really it's Heckran Cave AND Zenan Bridge. Heckran forces you to use magic and just mess around with it, but the skeletons on Zenan Bridge actually introduce resistances, culminating with the Zombor fight. I don't think I clarified it in the video but Zombor introduces the concept of multiple enemies with different resistances in a single fight. His groinal region absorbs ice but his top half absorbs fire, and he's also vulnerable to physical attacks, which you wouldn't expect when the skeletons before him are brick walls. Basically I think it's a cool way of telling you, "hey, expect to see more of this down the road," while also teaching you to expect the unexpected. In short, we'll start seeing enemies vulnerable to physical again from here on out. I guess I could have just said that from the start, but drat I love the Zombor fight

Ugh, the LP curse returns for revenge. Really sucks, so I'm glad at least in this case you didn't have to redo too much off screen. Also. Get's drained of all their MP at the end of a boss fight. "We'll never run out of mp!"

I always thought he was just invincible until you beat the skeletons. Once again I've been schooled on Chrono Trigger by whitehelm. Section Z posted:Ugh, the LP curse returns for revenge. Really sucks, so I'm glad at least in this case you didn't have to redo too much off screen. Lol, we are not the brightest sometimes. Arguably ever! I believe the mp buster move is what Zombor uses when you destroy his top half. So if you go for that first it can make life a little tougher but like I said he's vulnerable to physical attacks so it's just an annoyance really. Also I caught a cold and decided the only cure was grinding out some Chrono Trigger, so we're back in business

Speed is king in this game. Robo and Lucca are basically crippled by it. Unlike the other stats Speed maxes out at 16 so those 2 points from Taban Vest are all but crucial.

Yeah it's pretty much true, but I used to use Robo for the whole game and not have too much trouble. I feel like for him his bigger health pool and healing moves kinda make up for his speed? Also I gave him a speed tab so that should help a bit. For Lucca I'll absolutely agree, but I dunno, it always seemed like you can kinda use whichever characters you want and get by, save for a few rough bosses later on.

Part 16 - Prehistoric Stanky Leg I had a version of this video where our friend Jenny showed me this song and I laughed really hard at the fact that a song about the stanky leg exists, but because of content ID shenanigans I decided to cut it out. You never know when GS Boyz are going to strike and ruin your chrono trigger let's play.

The song you were thinking of when referring to the "Numa Numa dance" is "Dragostea Din Tei", by O-Zone. The reason most people remember it, however, was because some random person (Gary Brolsma) did a lip-sync video to accompany it, which ended up going viral for a few months.

Oh believe me I know, I had a friend who was super into electronic music at that time and we jammed the gently caress out to that song at least a couple times. Then years later I got hammered with a friend and jammed out to it again while reminiscing about old crap, which at the time was fun but just sounds sad now. No stanky legs were done at that time though unfortunately

Part 17 - Tricks of the Trade A couple things with this video. I had my recording volume a tiiiiny bit high when I recorded this so I think I might be annoyingly loud sometimes? Is it annoying to anyone? If it's pretty bad I might just mix it again and reupload the video. Also, the first seven minutes is just me trading poo poo. I kept it in because we were talking about stuff but skip to the seven minute mark if you wanna get back to actual gameplay.
