[Let's Play] Chrono Trigger - Chapter 25: The Fated Hour, Part 6: Geno Dome
Posts
Get a guy to say his lines completely oblivious to context and character... then apply liberal amounts of cheesy vocal effects. Gold!
I always forget how fucking cool Zeal is.
I think it's my favourite part of the game. It just feels so magical. Like any other game would have been happy ending before you get to Zeal, and still be proud of itself. But not Chrono Trigger. They save somewhere that is badass and nothing like the places you've been before for towards the end.
When I first played Chrono Trigger, I had no idea how it would progress. I figured I was going to save the princess and that would be it. Cool game. But then I end up in some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland. And then I have to go back to stop Magus. And then, and then, until it climaxes at Zeal. There really hasn't been an rpg approaching the storytelling of Chrono Trigger.
Plus, my cousin and I would always sing the Gato song just like you do SimBen, so that brought back memories.
I haven't decided if that's a good thing yet or not. ;-)

Also ironic was the fact that you misspelled your name during name-entry. A suitable diversion while I try to get my SNES working again. I'm in dire need of new controllers, and a Chrono Trigger cart with less Years of Dust on it.
Looks like this'll be a case of waiting till tomorrow afternoon.
Akira Toryiama and Square should have made a Chrono Trigger anime. It could have followed their adventures after the game.
Or hell, just convert the whole game into an anime series. It's been one of those geek wet-dreams I've had since forever.
Speaking of everyone's adventures after Chrono Trigger...
Well, not an anime series, but maybe an OVA. I'd even forgive them if they had Crono talk.
But yeah, some info about it available here:

As quoted from the site:
'Ah, the Chrono Trigger OVA (a.k.a. the Chrono Trigger anime). This was a 20-minute special released exclusively at a Japanese trade show sometime during the 90's. The anime is a spoof poking fun at the game. It's really cute! ^_^ I recommend viewing it. Take note that the Chrono Trigger anime has no relation whatsoever to Chrno Crusade or the anime sequences included in Final Fantasy Chronicles.'

Being that this one stars a Kilwala, a Nu and possibly a frog (I'm not sure anymore), it epic doesn't count. It doesn't count in a way that makes Radical Dreamers look canon.
Saying this counts as canon is like saying the Smash Bros. board the platforms minigame counts as Metroid canon.
No.
Stage6 has been iffy all over for the past few days since it got hacked. I haven't been able to upload, either. Give it a couply more days.
Well, nothing's gonna happen until I get back home at around 4 anyway, so I'll see then. Dailymotion is pretty much out of the question because of its stifling filesize and video length limits. Hopefully Stage6 will work by then.
My brain just blocks it out whenever you say it.
The lack of updates is disheartening. Too many Let's Play's fizzle out without any warning after just a few updates.
He's recorded at least 2 new videos, he's just waiting for Stage 6 to stop being gay.
HAVE FAITH!
If there's one let's play I want to go all the way, it's this one.
Most of the time if someone quits an LP, it's due to the author thinking nobody cares. This is why if you watch an LP, please post in the thread. It's very disheartening to someone if they're going through all the work of recording and it looks like nobody cares. This LP is not suffering that problem though so I doubt anyone needs to worry about this being abandoned.
Also, don't expect an update every day or every 2-3 days. For most normal let's plays, once a week is a good schedule. It's not very common to get an update every day.
Although to be fair, I think the Final Fantasy 6 Let's Play also recieved quite a bit of attention but it stopped suddenly.
I got kinda busy yesterday, and when I realized Stage6 still didn't work, I just kinda gave up and split the rest of my evening between playing Killer7 and watching Prison Break and Terminator. :P
Annnd now I'm at school again till 3:15, and I can't even LOOK if Stage6 now works (it's blocked from here). I'm still pretty reluctant to use Google again considering it murdered my baby back there. *sigh*
And I'd just like to say, thank you all so much for your support, you guys are the best! Gilder's totally right, I was very nervous when I started this that nobody would care, but this is obviously not the case, and in fact, here we are up to 9 pages with only 3 videos up... I guess I just picked a universally beloved game to LP. :P
EDIT: I mean 10. 10 pages.
Fun fact: in Japanese, Magus is named Maou, which means Demon Lord, and it's treated more as a title than a name. I guess you could see his English name as such, too.
That makes sense, since
(fairly large spoiler):
Exactly.
I actually only thought about it recently that Mah-gus was incorrect. May-gus makes a hell of a lot more sense, especially as a title.
I still haven't corrected myself, though. Everyone I know calls him Mah-gus, so I've stuck with that. Plus, it's hard to correct a 13 year old habit.
Magus was easy for me. I went to Catholic school for about 6 years when Chrono Trigger came out. Every christmas time, we would hear the story of the "Three Wise Men" or "Three Magi" pronounced "May-Jai". Being the trusting little catholic I was, I assumed they were right and always called him "May-Gus".
Crono was always obviously CRO-no. Like Chrono. Simple.
Your way of saying Marle is a new one, though. First I've heard of it. :P
I have always thought of it as Kurouno (CRO-no), like the Japanese pronunciation. Also, like chronometer.
I always pronounced Magus as (Mah-gus), but I just realized that I'm wrong too and it's more likely May-gus. I was going by the Japanese pronunciation again, but that's not even his name in Japanese!

Honestly, I think I randomly switch between may and mag, like maggot, for ol' Magus. Quite similar sounding to me, anyways.
And Lucca is definitely Luh-Kay.
...
Okay, I'm making that one up.
After I started recording this, I had to do a bit of soul-searching, actually... wondered if it was Loo-ka or Luck-ka.
But I realized I was being silly and it's definitely Loo-ka. :P
It's definitely LOO-Ka. I used to pronounce it has LOO-sia when I first started playing. I was 9 at the time, though, and quickly realized that I was wrong.
CRO-no is always how I pronounced Crono. As for Marle. . .I used to pronounce it MAR-lee, but, again, I corrected myself years ago to Marl.
What about Ayla? I've always pronounced it like it looks. Emphasis on the long A-la. Is that right?
My co-worker's daughter is named Ayla and she pronounces it the way you just described. That's also the way I've always pronounced it. So my opinion is yes, that's right.
Aye-la is always the way I've done it.
Same here. I tend to impose Japanese vowel pronunciation without realizing it a lot of the time though. :P
Anybody know offhand what her name was in the original Japanese version jooc?
EDIT: Fixed quote
http://steamcommunity.com/id/idolninja
I think it was Aira.
Which would lend credence to the "'ey-la" hypothesis.
I'd been pronouncing it aye-la for the longest time, but I, once again, corrected myself. :P
