New Content!
The Dimensional Vortex - Unlock your hidden potential!
The Dimensional Vortex is a zone of temporal instability that changes forms upon each visit. Grievous trials await you within, but only by facing those trials can you unlock your dormant strength. Be warned, however! The Vortex is a place riddled with danger, and once you enter, you must journey far before you can leave.
Access the Vortex from each of the three locations in which it appears, overcoming each challenge in turn, to bring about a change at the End of Time. But do not expect anything you've encountered to prepare you for what will then ensue...
The Lost Sanctum - Obtain rare and ancient treasures!
Near the end of the tale, a strange Gate appears suddenly in both prehistory and the Middle Ages. Waiting within, you will discover a people in dire need of your assistance. Complete the increasingly daunting tasks they ask of you in order to unlock the secrets of this strange, forgotten sanctum. At times, you may need to visit other eras to fulfill their wishes. But that is the only way to discover what lies hidden in the realm's deepest reaches...
The Arena of the Ages - Raise monsters and battle your friends!
At the Arena of the Ages, you can raise your very own beastly battler to pit against others in contests of strength. By sending your fiendish friend out to train and hone its skills, it will gradually grow stronger and change in appearance. Mold your monster into an unstoppable fighting machine and lay claim to the rare prizes at stake! Make use of DS Wireless Communications, and you can even challenge your friends!

PM me if you add any of these.
'Go advanced' when you edit. Or you can double click the end of the title on the main page.
And I'm still on the fence about getting it. I do already own the FF Chronicles version.
Welcome to the world on this side.
Thanks!
And yeah, this is going to keep me going through all of Thanksgiving.

That, and I hate those two stores and would love to pick up the game pretty much anywhere else.
edit: false alarm, the "soundtrack" is a 2-track CD. One's a medley and the other is the orchestral version of the theme. Kinda neat, but not nearly as cool as one would hope.
League of Legends: resipsa
Chuck is awesome though. :^:

I have to say I've been playing the Japanese version of Chrono Trigger DS and I love it, It's the chrono trigger I know and Love and I can't wait to get to the new dungeon.
I'm also really glad it converts to english makes it so much better but I can't wait to get the US version as well
Does anyone know if there will be a strategy guide?
i would love to get one if there will be just because but haven't heard anything and I can't find anything on one.
Just say you lost the present in a rare accident or something.
Anyway, looking forward to this game. I had to import it so I hope it doesn't take long to arrive.
Ordered this through amazon...though they say it won't be here until the 1st. Damned holidays...
$10!?!? Snatch that up and sell it on Ebay! Damn!

I don't see why you shouldn't go with the SNES copy. Unless of course you think that the extra content is worth $30 for you. Unless of course you're always on the road and don't want to dust off your old SNES. Then maybe you should pick up the DS version.

Just finishing my SNES copy in time for a meaningful comparison.
I'd say get it for the DS. The translation is a bit smoother (though the original was good), and it looks really good.
SNES consoles and games don't just randomly break. Hell, if you spend ten minutes popping in a new 72-pin connector, you can get a NES working just as well as it did in 1985. As long as you clean the contacts regularly and maybe replace the battery, there is absolutely no reason why a SNES Chrono Trigger cartridge won't keep working for years to come.
There are plenty of reasons to buy the DS version over the SNES one (portability, new translation, new ending, lower price), but an irrational fear of the cart or the console failing should not be one of them.
Hah, Amazon says they just shipped my copy. It's coming from Indiana and supposed to take 9 days to move one state over. Ironically, I'm in Indiana for Thanksgiving right now.
Not that I have time to play it since these pumpkin creme brulees aren't going to cook themselves.
(Please do not gift. My game bank is already full.)
