i feel like there IS an ending where chrono bones ayla but tbh i don't remember too many of them

I gotta aim for that one, then (btw I have no idea how to trigger different endings and will studiously avoid looking it up so as to ensure maximal surprise when Chrono marries Robo or whatever)

i wont spoil any of them, i'll just say that the mechanics for getting them are all the same - basically just choosing to jump ahead & fight the final boss at different points in the game's story, which is an option u get in new game+

pretty sure theres one where lucca comes out as a lesbian but its hard 2 get~~~~

I hope there's one where Chrono IS Lucca, Smokey Is The Bandit-style.

i loooove the idle animations on the world map screen - also i love when you leave robo w/fiona to replant the forest and every time you go back to 600 AD he is doing a different agricultural ass activity, like wearing a bandana and planting seeds or turning into a tractor and shit

beat it
somehow it is even more amazing than ever... japan really shoulda just packed it in after this one
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 11:52 (fourteen years ago) link
I made it to the Lavos fight last night, beat the series of "Lavos changes his attack modes" and then got wiped out on the next battle by surprise; I guess I hadn't healed enough and so one of his big attacks took out everyone all at once. Blah. Should I just aim at one side first?
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 11:54 (fourteen years ago) link
is that the one with the giant arms? i liked to do full screen attacks w/that one... they regenerate, so dont worry too much about killing them off, just get them out of the way when u can
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 11:56 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah like blast with luminaire? I thought I was doing fine until BLAST fuck what happened? I guess it was cool to see the world end.
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 11:57 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, luminaire is your daisy cutter anyway - i'm never not using it when crono's in my party
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 13:19 (fourteen years ago) link
when i beat it just now my party was magus/frog/lucca, so i would do dark matter w/magus and the firefrog double tech w/frog and lucca (forget what it's called, the one that's a giant ass frog that is also on fire)
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 13:20 (fourteen years ago) link
i prefer ayla / robo / frog for the final battle because their triple tech can take out the left lavos bit in one blow, and cure wave is the best way to keep your party in shape. and also because they are my favourite characters.
― orange (yeah thats right), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 15:16 (fourteen years ago) link
I won! This has a terrific ending, too. I think I'll play again, though maybe not until tomorrow.
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Tuesday, 4 August 2009 18:32 (fourteen years ago) link
okay, now that i got the robot, i'm starting to get in the groove a bit here. wish i could carve out some multi-hour playing periods.

tempting
― im a fucking unicorn you douchebags (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 04:39 (fourteen years ago) link
lol I started another game last night b/c I can't quit Marle...and b/c I read some walkthroughs and apparently Magus has a bunch of spells that I never got! He only has 3 spells, Lightning 2, Ice 2, Fire 2 (I think), but apparently he can get a bunch more. And Ayla evidently has some great spells but I didn't use her enough to get them (I won with Chrono, Marle and Lucca just blasting the fuck out of Lavos). And I think Robo has more too. So I'm going to focus on Magus, Ayla, and Robo. It's funny replaying it because obviously I'm walking through all the battles that were tough at first, but it's still taking time to do it because of loading time etc.
What's the earliest point I can fight Lavos at? I guess I have to get to the End of Time at least?
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:24 (fourteen years ago) link
hahaha nope.
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:27 (fourteen years ago) link
let me put it this way, don't even consider it until you've finished New Game + at least once
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:28 (fourteen years ago) link
(trying to get to/beat Lavos before End of Time)
yeah I'm just level 50 now so that's prob. right
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 06:30 (fourteen years ago) link
magus has HIDDEN TRIPLE TECHS that u need special items to use... it owns prettty hard
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 07:01 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah I think I have the special items now (bunch of gemstones) but I don't even have Dark Matter! Which according to walkthroughs is a pretty fine spell.
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 07:02 (fourteen years ago) link
hell yes
― Nhex, Wednesday, 5 August 2009 07:06 (fourteen years ago) link
you have to equip it on one of the party members who can perform the triple tech, and then have all the ppl in ur party i think
― a narwhal done gored my sister nell (cankles), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 07:07 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah but I also have to have the right max spells for each party member to allow triple techs, and that's what I don't have at present.
― wide swing juggalo (Euler), Wednesday, 5 August 2009 07:08 (fourteen years ago) link
aaahhh right-o

Superfluity, Thy Name is Lost Sanctum
Parish criticizing the new sidequests added to the DS version, then goes into a general anti-padding rant. Sounds like they're not worth the trouble, and it's not like the game really needed more content, but it doesn't seem like they usually succeed in these remake additions.
― Nhex, Saturday, 8 August 2009 00:54 (fourteen years ago) link
Huh. I think I skipped the Lost Sanctum on my first playthrough. Maybe I'll try it this time (I'm playing on DS). S/he's right that the game is short enough to make a second playthrough worthwhile. I took about 25 hours on my first playthrough. The Black Omen was a pretty badly designed dungeon I thought, way too much walking through vast boring empty spaces. I guess it showed how cavernous the ship is, but for little payoff. And the combat was dumb by that point too, because I could kill everything in it without magic or healing.
S/he makes a nice point regarding the lengths of contemporary RPGs also. I got burned out on Oblivion, because I have completist tendencies, but after 120+ hours I'd had enough of fetch quest and weak plot (by then I'd long dispensed with the final quest). It was a pity because the assassination quests were actually interesting (relatively speaking) but I just didn't want to be in that universe anymore by then. Plus my 360 started locking up on one of those quests, both the first time and on further reloads from save. So CT's brevity was a virtue I appreciated.

Okay, I'm officially quitting this as I'm just not enjoying it. Glad I gave it a college try but it's just not quite doing it for me.
