    So I'm trying to catch up to where SimBen is in the videos for maximum enjoyment, and I'm at beyond the ruins. I remember having this problem before on like my second playthrough of this game, but I can't remember how I got around it. The fucking X&Y+A thing does not work at all. I even left and talked to the rat again and did it, but the stupid path just won't open. Does anyone else have this problem? I haven't played this game in years but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time this has happened to me.
    It's L&R + A.

    That's what I meant. It still doesn't work.
    Not to suggest that you might be using some... illicit means to play this or anything, but keyboards don't usually like 3 buttons being pressed at once unless one of them is a modifier. :P
    Not that I have any experience with this or anything, but I've heard that if you hold down the two keys that represent L+R, then press the key that represents A, hold them down until you hear your computer beep, then the pathway should open. That's what it did for, uh... my friend.

    Fuckin' post a new video! Chrono Trigger is one of my favourite games of all time, definitely joint top place, and this thread completely reminded me to come back to it! It also inspired me to do a Let's play, which will start later this week. AND I've been doing a let's play of Chrono Trigger with my friend, each of us playing it while on the phone with each other, with me guiding him through all the cool stuff making sure he gets every drop of awesome out of the game,

    All because of you!

    MAEK POAST!

    I just wanted to say that I never played Chrono Trigger cuz back in the snes days I was still a bit too young to enjoy RPGs enough to sit through (what I thought at the time was) too much talking and boring fighting (oh how wrong I was). This LP has successfully shown me just why chrono trigger is supposed to be so great. Whatre the odds of this ever showing up on the Virtual Console? I suppose I'll start looking around for the PSX version.

    I heard the chances are slim due to multiple copyright holders for the game...which would probably never come together for such a thing, let alone come to an agreement.

    I could be wrong.

    I am fully convinced that if they could, given recent trends, they would've re-released this thing several times over by now.

    I'm still holding out hope, though.

    Well the parties that could possibly hold a claim for the copyrights have all but merged together by now.

    Basically, you got Squaresoft, Enix (because of Yuji Horii's involvement), Monolith Soft (most of the CT team moved on there) and, on the fringe, Nintendo. But Square and Enix are now together, and Monolith now belongs to Nintendo... so yeah. :P

    Besides, Square didn't ask anyone before re-releasing it on PSX in 2001. The only thing that's preventing a VC release/DS remake is pure spite. Also, I think Squeenix just doesn't like money.

    btw, tonight's vid might arrive a bit later than I'd hoped, because I unexpectedly had to babysit my sister's boyfriend (read: play Smash with him for two hours while my sister was having girl-talk with my mom). But since there's a student strike at my school tomorrow, I don't have to worry about going to bed early. :)

    a student's strike? your little sister's "date" is not a date at all?

    SimBen, you crazy Quebecois.

    I actually did some research on CEGEP cause you mentioned it in the MM thread videos. It's very different from American school systems, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    I actually did some research on CEGEP cause you mentioned it in the MM thread videos. It's very different from American school systems, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

    CEGEP is awesome. It basically eases you into college by being about perfectly midway between it and high school in every possible way. Also, you can get into a bunch of professionnal fields that aren't TOO top-of-the-line complicated (say, mechanics or nursery or child care) for very cheap. And you can always choose to go to university later on to pursue further studies in your field if you really get into it.

    The only downside, really, is all the assholes that pretend to "care" about their education and constantly go on strike to get more funding and reduced fees from the government, which is a lost cause anyway. Under a pretense of democracy, the student union acts more like a police state by doing everything they can to prevent the anti-strikers from even attending the meetings or voting. Sometimes they'll get together and beat up some of the more outspoken proponents of the "yeah but I'm on my last semester and I'd really like to just get my degree without all that bullshit" camp. It's like Kenyan democracy, so to speak. Only it's even dumber because the VAST majority of the pro-strikes just want a day off from school.

    Oh, and also they occupy and wreck the school and then cry fascism when the police shows up and arrests them. And refuse to pay the bill for the repairs. Stupid stupid stupid.

    As for my sister's date, well they HAVE been going out for a while and the guy is pretty much an accepted member of the family... it's just that my sister basically said "I'm gonna watch a chick flick with mom, you go play videogames with SimBen".

    Except my sister doesn't actually call me SimBen, but you get the idea.

    Also this is some new footage of the Chrono Resurrection project. It seems like it would fit in this thread.

    I think there was a cease and desist at some point, but given the date of the posted video... He probably promised to never sell it and just make it a fan tribute.

    That video just shows how far along they were when they were told to stop. These guys were legally forbidden from even working on it any further.

    It was never going to be sold. Square just didn't want people to have good things.

    I mean, it'd be one thing if they were making their own remake.

    But they're not.

    True that. I remember when it got shut down, I was very disappointed...

    But I'm really not all that sure I would have played it. Seems like it would have taken the nostalgia out of the good ol' 2D sprites for me.

    Still looked like a solid effort, but you know today's society- copyrights and lawsuits galore. =-(

    I do remember that they made a semi-big deal out of it being developed for the GameCube as well as PC, and how they'd send copies to developers that could only be played on GC dev kits... that's probably the part that got Square's attention.

    Will you defeat Lavos at the start of the game, just Crono if possible but not if it's too annoying, with the best weapon in the entire game?!
