    From what I remember, someone found assets for a second Zeal dungeon, but, don't remember the specifics too well.

    Hey pablo, filesharing is against the rules.

    The CD is purchasable at the usual places: Play Asia, CD Japan, etc.

    I double checked before posting it - warez and emulators/roms are against the rules. linking to audio files has been allowed many times in the past.

    however if a mod/admin wants me to remove the link, I would quickly comply and apologize.

    I was always partial to the music just outside the forest right after you start. Of course, this means that I've played the first five minutes of CT several hundred times without ever going further.

    About the Tougher Lavos Fight, been a while since I read about it so some bits may be out, but here goes, will try to keep story spoilers to a minimum but there will be some of course:
    When you first encounter Lavos in the Ocean Palace you're supposed to lose, apparently it wasn't enough for the makers that they were throwing an end game boss at you mid game (ish?), so they also massively buffed Lavos up for that one fight, he has more health, attacks for more and faster, unleashes his biggest move(s) more often, confuses you even with protection, etc, just in case you'd grinded to a point where you could feasibly beat the 'normal' version of Lavos at that time.

    Apparently that is the only time you can meet that version of Lavos, not sure on that though. As was said earlier the ending you get for beating that version is the same you get for...
    Beating Lavos at the start of a new game plus with just Crono (Possible as Crono/Marle I think), same as the normal Lavos, but you have less characters to fight with

    Anyway Great for PAL regions that its on the DS as we'll still be able to play even if they only release in US/JP.

    It would be great is Square Enix added a whole bunch of branching storylines for things like that. Imagine a whole new path for people who beat Lavos at the Ocean Palace, or other impossible shit that they would make possible.

    But they won't. This is just going to be a port with a new dungeon and a few extra gizmos, intended as a quick cash in.

    They're not going to go and rewrite the game.

    I'm probably only exagerrating a little when I say that I would kill for Terranigma DS.

    Put a copy in front of me, put a gun in my hand, bring out the guy in the blindfold and ask me to pull the trigger.

    Who am I kidding, I'd be tearing open (well, carefully opening) the box before the body hit the floor.

    My dream would be if they came out with a book/cd that had the soundtrack to trigger/cross and had concept art, and commentary about the games. I would pay $100.00 for a hardbound chrono designer's log book. Shit, that would become my permanent coffee table book. Well, next to the watchmen.

    Also, the "oh shit, we are the only ones who can save the world, lets do this thing" music in CT is the only good version of that type of song in existense.

    So the clock is more interesting than it first appeared: for the right half, each mark is a little round thing, spaced 5 minutes apart; for the lower left, the marks are more line-like, and there's 3 between 30 and 45; and for the last quarter, there are 8. They also switch from being on the rim to being on the clock-face after the 30 minute mark.

    Even if it weren't the correct aspect ratio, I'm sure it could still be done. Okami wasn't widescreen on the PS2, but they added that in for the Wii port. I don't think it's all that hard to change the aspect ratio.

    Renzo's explaination makes the most sense. The battle window covered a good 1/5 of the screen if not more. With that out of the way, I'm sure the DS's resolution should offer the same amount of veiw as the menu-covered screen before. Not like they couldn't make the battle windows smaller anyway, they did an admirable job compressing it in Final Fantasy 4 for the GBA.

    Outside of battle I wonder if the second screen might morph into a map of the current area, not unlike the Treasure Map seen in the PS1 release.

    To be fair, FF4A was a port of a port, the original port having it's own mess of problems.

    I think they got most of their footing down by the time FF6A came around.

    That doesn't matter. When porting a game, they can adjust for resolution and aspect ratio.


    They brought Zelda Link to the Past to the GBA. And that was both the wrong aspect ratio and lower resolution. Yet the port looked and played wonderfully.
