Chrono Cross

you can stop making threads already and just use one of the other ones you already made

So I'm gonna play through this game for real now

Had to restart because I wanted Leena (permanently missable unless you deny Kid when she asks to join, wtf?) but I'm gonna not look up more info.

>>11988819
I have no clue what you're talking about.

>>11988815 (OP)
more like crumple & toss (into the garbage).

>>11988828
protip: say no to kid at EVERY opportunity even when it seems REALLY wrong to do so or you will miss out on the must ludo party member by far.

The combat system in this game is apparently a notorious brainlet filter

Can't lie it got me for a second, but it's definitely one of the better turn-based systems out there.

There's 3 party members and 6 elements, so I'm dividing characters as red/black, white/yellow, and blue/green.

Fun fact the game is 240p and the menu is 480i

Baked lighting

>>11988846
>>11988849
why cant we have nice looking UIs anymore

>>11988815 (OP)
nice image

>>11988846
>I'm dividing characters as red/black, white/yellow, and blue/green.
That's gonna bite you in the ass if you want to use summons or get the best ending. Try keeping at least one offensive and defensive spell of each color equipped to everyone, even if it's something low level.

>>11988815 (OP)
is shit

Wtf were they thinking

>>11990638
I'll now play your game

This cigar smoking pirate just killed a child wtf

>>11991194
Based coomers

>>11988828
Leena's boring and her stats are weak. Once you get ZOAH you can just tank your way through the game. Well really all the female characters have weak stats. It just pays to have Kid in your party because her stealing will help you get the stuff you need for rainbow weapons and armor. Then she becomes useless once you get Fargo who does the same but with better stats.

>>11988846
The only thing I don't like is they stop giving you exp after so many random battles in a deliberate effort to discourage power-levelling.

That's actually a great thing

Based otaku

>>11990657
this would literally cost hundreds of thousands of dollars today.
>I KNOW WHAT I GOT

>>11988815 (OP)
Remind me again why Kid should give a single fuck about Serge (you) and viceversa.

>>11992439
They want to fuck

If you wanna play a modern sequel to Chrono Cross, play Xenoblade 3

Game is gay.

>>11990638
they were based.

>>11990638
and very based.

>>11988829
trying too hard

>>11991208
That pic is older than coomers.

>>11993854
Zoomers on discord unironically cum themselves over this and ask to be blocked.

>>11991965
Leena's pretty much agreed to be the best blue innate besides Fargo and possibly Marcy, but you get them much later in the game so you'll probably still want her anyway.

>>11992894
>censored

>>11993858
>appropriating coomers as a generation thing
You're deranged.

>>11993858
Coomers are eternal

>>11993961
No one was saying "coomers" in 2008.

>>11988846
Is that a simple elemental counter system in my COMPLICATED BIG BRAIN GAME?

>>11988846
>The combat system in this game is apparently a notorious brainlet filter
>Can't lie it got me for a second
I've never heard of anyone being confused by the combat until now. Are you okay?
The bad part of the combat is the techs though, that's true, the whole Vancian field magic, outside of a few bosses, isn't worth engaging with and instead you just want to use physical attacks. Also a real shame that combo techs are so absent from the game compared to Trigger.

>>11994325
The primary problem is that they use the color motiff yet don't allow mixing of elements to create new stuff. So magic just becomes generic elemental stuff that even pokemon has more depth.

>>11994213
They stand for the same shit. Go cry in a ditch.

>>11993859
They can't because Square censored her ass in the remaster

>>11994692
how so?
enlighten me, anon. i usually ignore remasters because they always fuck something up.

Is it wrong to play the remaster? I don't have a CRT so I can't play the original the way it was meant to be played (emulation filters aren't the artist's intention).

>>11990646
>>11992890
>>11992894
Gaming these days is so exhausting. Is this just a zoomer phenomenon? Why is everyone calling this "based"?

>>11994761
remaster is censored.
emulate it any way you like.

>>11994827
How is it censored?

>>11994764
Irony poisoning, older than zoomers by far. They are trying to proclaim how they aren't like the other normalfags because they like a cartoon character who's younger.

>>11994845
no panties and dialog changed to sound less suggestive.

>>11994882
Your link says you can revert to the original character models. I'm not sure how this is an issue besides removing the reference to marital rape.

>>11994827
Shame it's still the best way to play Radical Dreamers in English since Demiforce had to fucking up the difficulty for no good reason.

>>11995168
You mean Chrono Cross

>>11995194
No, Radical Dreamers is bundled in Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition with redone translation and proper difficulty, but unfortunately the translation is realtime-patched as part of the emulator rather than the ROM.

>>11994764
They're saying that they are pedophiles and that it's good to be a pedophile. It will never be clear whether they're awkwardly making a low-quality joke or honestly expressing their actual pedophilia. This behavior arises very frequently on this site and I'm surprised you aren't familiar with it.

>>11995598
I remember when that fag tried to use "in Minecraft" as a defence in court. Good times.

>>11995168
isn't it basically just a vn? unless there's action events like in danganronpa which i doubt how do you manage to fuck over the difficulty in a vn?

>>11990638
>and this is the most powerful swordsman in the kingdom, a 10 year old girl

>>11995719
There are enemy battles and critical encounters. Demi pulled a Working Designs for shits and giggles and added more frustrating moments, like there's one early in the game where you're in a booby-trapped room and there's no way of knowing the correct option without trial and error or a lucky guess; wrong answers are just supposed to knock off some HP but it's an insta-gameover in the fan-translation.

>>11995830
>censorship good!

>>11995834
Such a fagass response. They all but had to do it because as it turns out outside of Japan sexualizing children isn't very popular. It's hardly censorship, it's practical.

>>11996495
>it's okay to censor things I don't like or male me fee bad!
Why do you hate japanese culture? Maybe don't play Japanese games if you're such a thin skinned fag that can handle the devs vision.

>>11996504
I quite frankly do not give a damn either way because I'm not forced to. I'm telling you the general public would throw a hissy fit and the game would have sold worse as a result.

>>11996504
Thanks for the heads up. I’ll throw out all of my Japanese RPGs from the past 30 years including my original Final Fantasy games. Japanese culture isn’t for people who don’t like looking at girl’s panties in full HD (SD is fine).

>>11996559
>>11996630
No one gave a fuck back when the game released for the ps1

I really wish Chrono Cross had a better ending, it's so good for 90 percent of the game, if not a little convoluted. But then the end comes and it just shits itself.

Also think the game grinds to a standstill when you switch bodies. The party members suck so much till the very end.

Still quite like it and is a benchmark for graphics on ps1

>>11989361
You can switch spells right at the end to get the best ending and best is questionable

>>11996706
Uhhh but chud, sensibilities change over time. Just like games can age.

>>11996772
It had a great ending when you realize that it was Kid's story all along, and just told through Serge's perspective.

>>11997197
I think anyone who plays it and pays attention to the plot realizes it's Kids story. Still think it's unfinished kinda like Xenogears

Also, Kid's entire story kills the cope that Cross is not a sequel to Trigger that copers love to peddle.

>>11997197
>chrono midgets
Lol

>>11997197
Serge doesn't have a perspective. He's barely there at all.

It flop like shit and Square-Enix isn't interested on making Chrono Break anyways, so i don't know why you're upset nobody wants to touch the millionth dogwater shitmaster?

>>11997463
I would never touch a shitmaster. I just think its hilarious that this one is getting shit on specifically for not showing 10 year old girls underwear. imagine telling that to literally anyone irl. its funny as hell

Was this censored in the remaster?

These enemies have a variety of random lines where they tell you their name, age, and favorite attack

One says "I like to Suck [deliberate pause] Blood"

Most of them are teenage girls, one is also a marijuana reference

>>11997463
Look, we don’t have much of a fucking choice. I don’t like it either, but you know what? I also wish it was 2000 again. I wish I had my PlayStation hooked up to a nice 20” tube TV with each disc not scratched to hell. I wish playing the original format wasn’t a backbreaking chore (literally) or required weird filters on my emulator with ROMs pirated from some Russian site. But that’s not the case. We don’t control this world, other people do, and they’re far wealthier than you and I. This is what they gave us to play. Maybe someday there’ll be a better remaster or remake.

>>11997518
they removed the pause from suckblood.
https://youtu.be/DI3siwiWi-s?t=11m19s
then again, it's on fast forward, maybe scripted pauses are removed during ff.
