CHRONO TRIGGER DS

Posts

Yeah, I always used Marle before for her healing abilities. This time around, I'm assigning her to bench-warming duties so that I can have a 100% pure offensive team :)
Chrono + Ayla + Robo = Good times.

I also toss in Lucca once in a while because playing with bombs and fire is pretty fun.
Whenever I'm playing CTDS I get the motivation to play Chrono Cross, but then remember the amazingly boring wait times in battles, and don't want to.

I've never beaten it. I don't think I was stuck on a boss, I just didn't have any idea what to do next. I thought I was really close to the end as well.
Ah I got this game a few days ago. I haven't been playing it much though, since I gotta other stuff to do. I've just beat the first boss Yakran. It seems pretty good. Reminds me of Back To The Future II. Bear in mind I'm not one of the people who have played this on the SNES/PSX. This is my first time playing it.
You know guys..I don't understand why you complain about the Lost Sanctum XD . it's OPTIONAL! you don't have to do it if you don't want to :P you won't lose anything from not doing it! Granted,it is just a mash up of random Chipset of other places with recolored monsters. But at least you don't have to do it XD . I did it and it's not THAT bad...it's just a bunch of fetch quest. But the other one the Dimensional vortex. Is pretty nice! Well it's better than the Lost Sanctum. And yes, the monster arena suck. That, I must approve.

Geez, this won't arrive Europe 'till Jan 6th. Stop talking about this untill then, it's tempting. :(
Never completed the game or got even as far as to have Magus. I got stuck in some cloudcity because couldn't find where to go next. Though that was a long time ago.

No, I heard it was pushed back to April!

We call the Lost Sanctum complete shit because it is. Giving it immunity because "its optional" is like protecting Big Rig Racing from being one of the worst games of all time because it was optional if you wanted to play it or not. Or calling anything ever bad since "Its not required to do it". Nobody is saying Chrono Trigger is awful because of the Lost Sanctum (I would if the Lost Sanctum was mandatory), just the Lost Sanctum itself.

I have to say, once you get to Magus' keep, it really picks up. I hate crawling through dungeons and going through mundane battle after mundane battle, but fighting so many bosses in a row was really fun. Especially Magus. That was one of the best boss fights ever.
Speaking of which, I didn't blow my chances of recruiting him, did I? Or does the chance come later?

The chance to pick up Magus
comes in 12000 BC, after Zeal summons Lavos and sics it on you. Obviously, you only encounter Magus if you lose. you'll have the option to fight him or not. fight him, and he's gone for good. don't and he'll join you.

I just save stated. now I have I file with and a file without.
I always pick up Magus because
vanquishing him with Frog doesn't really do anything but change the ending slightly.


Plus, I believe he is one of the three characters who has a billowing "something" during the intro to the final Lavos fight! (The other two being Chrono and Marle)

Also paying full price for a game made like 12 years ago with the addition of a stupid dungeon and recolors, with a slightly different ending to make it some what canon with Chrono Cross. Still an awesome game nonetheless. Only Snes game Ive played.

He also has words for Queen Zeal (and alters the boss music to his own theme), not to mention allows for the use of the absurdly overpowered Omega Flare.

I beat the game last night, and It's just so damn easy with Magus Lucca and Robo.

Lavos 2 - Omega Flare until all parts dead, heal beam as necessary. Status immunity is so dirt common; you dont have to worry.

Lavos 3 - Uzzi Punch left bit twice and it dies. Right bit drops defense, Omega flare several times. He revives bit, keep using omega flare, center lavos dies. He raises defense, then immediatley drops it to revive lavos; keep spamming the same attack and use megaelixers they essentially GIVE YOU 12 and congratulations; you just face smashed the final boss.

I think that Square-Enix should have done what they've been doing for the Final Fantasy remakes on DS... MAKE IT 3D and add new features (nothing too game-changing... Possibly what they did with FFIV).

I don't think the DS has that kind of processing power. Every "dungeon" map had battles right inside it, and it would probably be really tedious work (and maybe not even possible) to get all the movements right.

Well if you use Megalixers + Omega Flare it's obviously going to be easy (=v=)
You want a challenging Lavos fight, fight him in the Undersea Palace instead of at the endgame. He's way more difficult there. At least Lavos' Shell is. I can't remember ever having beaten him, so I don't know if the inner parts are more difficult.
The inside and core still the same, only the shell gets that super power boost. Plus you need to do stupid amounts of grinding to even stand a chance against him without a NG+. If you're looking for a challenge, fight Lavos right after the Blackbird before doing the sidequests/reviving Crono. Or try before that. You can fight Lavos at almost any time during the game after all.

I beat him first time I got to the end of time, around level 18~. Of course, I knew what he was capable of, but still. Cure wave for the win.
