Need I say more?
Holy fuck we’re playing Chrono Trigger! We kinda picked this one up the other day, and have been burning through it whenever we get the time. As a result, I haven’t been very good at blogging our progress. I considered skipping it entirely, but hey, why wouldn’t I want the chance to quickly chat up one of the greatest games of all time?
Ed’s never played Chrono Cross, my favourite game of all time, even though he hears me rave about it all the time. I’d like him to play Chrono Trigger first, to get a sense for the series and enough backstory that he understands some of the subtler plot points of Cross. I gave him the DS re-release some time ago, but he never got past the first time-jump. He said it just didn’t appeal to him, and I say that’s because he didn’t even make it to the beginning of the game. After cracking off Lunar: Silver Star, his favourite RPG of all time, I decided to press for turnabout, and we started playing Chrono Trigger together. I was hoping we could play the DS verison, but I couldn’t get an emulator to look good enough to play together. I grabbed the PSX version too, but had completely forgotten about the horrendous loading times for everything. After a few minutes it was more than I could stand, so we whipped out a SNES emulator and decided to go for the classic version. It’s superior to the PSX version, in any case.
Oh, and Ed’s addicted now. We’re both loving it, and we’re using every spare minute to rip through it, so we’re… pretty far. Apologies for the lack of screenshots, I just figured out how to use the function effectively today, so most of this is just me summarizing Chrono Trigger in a wall of text, for reasons I myself don’t entirely understand.
