To absent friends, lost loves, old gods, and the season of mists; and may each and every one of us always give the devil his due.
Neil Gaiman said that.
It's a recurring theme here. It's about lost people and people who may or may not be lost but who I don't want to find, but those people are responsible for some of the lost being lost.
Allow me to address this little tempest in a teapot that's been brewing for some time now, and give my first shoutout to Meia. Last time I interacted with you, as far as I know was during an ask me anything thread in which you were one of the few people who asked worthwhile questions. I was actually thinking about saving the thread and archiving it, but the rest of the pillocks ruined it, and I don't even want to look at the thread anymore.
Anyway, after The Fall, you said that something was just what I wanted. I'm not entirely sure what that is, but I'm sure I did want it, but you did ask what would stop me from messing it up again just so I make sure. Or whatever. I'll tell you. Metastability. If things were restored like I wanted, things would fall apart at the slightest provocation, and even unfortunate gimps who want music are a provocation, and I'd have to start over again. That might just be a simple misunderstanding, it might be something more malicious. Don't act like I enjoy it, please. I don't. Nobody does. Well, I'd like to assume that, but there are people who hate the Cocteau Twins out there.

Chrono Trigger, like Final Fantasy IV, has a title screen, at which you press start and, as I learned when taking this screenshot, A or Y, but probably not select. Only Fantasy Zone did that as far as I know. |
|
|
After you've started, and I hope you figured out how to do that on your own. If you can't, then your controller was unplugged, the rabbit chewed on your cord (this actually happened), or your controls was remapped. Maybe the game crashed, but that shouldn't happen if you're using an emulator. Clean out your Super NES. |

There's a parody of Chrono Trigger made by people who think they're clever and use terms like hamtoucher, carpet muncher. Someone played The Millennial Fair but no further, and I will highlight a few differences. I won't play it, since I don't feel like playing something I just played through that has some utterly lame changes in it. I bet they didn't change anything past the Cretaceous anyway. At least it's not a Chrono Trigger Lolcats hack. Anyone who's responsible for that should be strung up by the toes and Crying Heavens'd repeatedly. They'll hav metal repicas of various murex shells shoved in various orifices while this happens if they have said lolcats call Chrono a cum dumpster. |

|
In the hack, Crono's Mom calls Crono a mute bastard and says the bell gives her a headache.
If you're wondering, he's called Crono because there's a five character limitation. This doesn't matter in Japanese, because you can even make things like Elizabeth (read: something vaguely suggestive of Elizabeth) with five symbols, but with the Latin alphabet, anyone who wanted to name a character after themselves is screwed unless they have short names. I haven't adjusted to that and will type Chrono and correct myself a few thousand times during this playthrough. |
|
|
And then she says that Crono didn't masturbate. I'm guessing the maker of this hack reached puberty fairly recently. |
|
|
Shades open, shades close, shades open, shades close, shades open. There are better ways to spend your time. Playing shitty immature hacks is not one of them. Reading through four pages of shit by immature people who don't know how to ask me good questions so I can steal their lameass slang terms and make fun of shitty immature hacks is not one of them either. Playing through the rest of this game is. |
|
|
And in the hack, she calls her a nerdy whore. Har-de-fucking-har-har. What's next, munter? Or maybe even cockmagnet! |
|
|
The game lets you name everyone. The hack doesn't bother to change the default name and says her invention is a heheh. Slang term for the genitals, no doubt. If the hacker knew how to edit sprites, Crono would be naked. |
|
|
Before we go to the millennial fair, we're going to rob people's houses! |
|
|
And show off some enemies in the forest! Hetake isn't a real mushroom, as far as I know. The closest thing I can find to it that is a Greek goddess of kindness. Yeah. Right. |
|
|
You can get 10G by doing this infinite times, but there are better ways to get money. Fighting those hetakes, for one, yields money, experience, and tech points. |
|
|
Crono seems to think acting like a chicken involves laughing. And not bending over and pecking the ground. |
|
|
The sad one is the generic sad theme of the game, At The Bottom of Night, I believe. The happy one is the motorcycle chase music |
|

Lucca's the Professor Farnsworth of Chrono Trigger, if Professor Farnsworth was young and a single human female struggling to live in a single human male's world. Perhaps the machine creates glow in the dark noses that you can wear over your regular non-glowing nose and translates things into a language so complex that there's even less hope of understanding it. Why shouldn't it? Very little is changed here. Only a line about Leene's Bell giving headaches, a fart joke, and a joke about Crono's mom sleeping with everyone in the town. How remarkably clever. |
|
|
The hack replaces pendant with penis. Ha ha ha ha ha. |
|
|
Talk to her first. Then get the pendant. It has great sentimental value. Among other things. It looks like a pendant in the hack too. |
|
|
People from all over the world come. So she has an excuse to come with you. It's umm and uhhh replacing yes or no in the hack. Which one's which? Good question. I'm not qualified to answer that one. |
|
|
You're thinking "silly twit doesn't know her own name," aren't you. There's a reason for this. |
|
|
The cat gets stuck behind walls a lot. |
|
|
This is the easiest way to get silver points. The soda guzzling contest is probably impossible without turbo and only gives five silver points. Ringing the bell is simple, but you get only one silver point. Which makes it a lot like acting like a chicken in order to get that new 60000G sword you had your eyes on. |
|
|
You fight Gato (Gonzales in the Japanese verson). He's easy. He opens up his chest and a boxing glove comes out and punches you. If you lost, it's probably because you lost health from the last time you beat him or because you really wanted to see what happens if you lose and you found something to cast Hallation on you before you fought him. Don't nosh on that guy's food, though. He's really a secret spy for the King. |
|
|
He can rhyme, but there's not much in the way of rhythm. Yang's a better rapper than Gato. |
|
|
You can watch a cat, an imp, a soldier, and... something obscured that I can't recall, but I'll tell you when talking about New Game + race. Or you can bet on the winner and use the gift man gives himself: cheating. However, if you really want silver points, just wail on Gato some more. You only get five more here, and it takes a while. Pretty soon, you'll be able to one-hit Gato. |

|
Avian Chaos is holding a bell, it just looks like he has a bell for an ass. Bugs are boring. I can't remember them doing anything except for attacking for a few HP of damage. There are some tabs here that you might want. Don't give power tabs to Marle, as her crossbow's damage isn't based on power. You can't go into Guardia Castle. |
|
|
The makers of this game want you to go here. Good news, everybody! I completed my matter transportator. |
|
|
Glasses do not work that way! Good night! |
|
|
Well, they're probably afraid of being stuck In Limbo like another game. I think they were made in the same year. The box is around somewhere. |
|
|
Taban is just as astounded as everyone else when it turns out the Transportator works. |
|
|
I mean, of course it works. And it even sticks a glow-in-the-dark nose on you. Why shouldn't it? |
|
|
Marle, concluding that glow in the dark noses are clool, is eager to try it. |
|
|
But it reacts to her pendant (which was probably made from chronotons or something) and this happens. |
|
|
Crono volunteers to try it, even though getting back may not be an easy task. It doesn't kill you, though. If it did, this would be a very short game. |
|
|
There might be cubes in there the size of school buses. And they can punch you in the nose in the dark. |
|
|
And after she invents some kind of mechanism to allow her through... what the hell happened to Crono? He looks like a Skull Kid or something. |
|
|
VOOM. I'll see you wherever this portal takes us, in chapter 2. |
