Without exaggeration and without nostalgia clouding my judgement because I just played and finished this game now for the first time, I have to say It is one of the best rpgs ever!
+Bruce Wayne Welcome to the glorious world of Chrono Trigger. I just beat it today for probably my 10th or 20th time and have been playing since I was a little boy. Happy you've seen the light.
+Bruce Wayne Same here, I'm playing it right now for the very first time as well and I'm about 15 hours into the game and I'm amazed. What a beautiful game, the soundtrack, the graphics, the characters, everything simply fits together so well.
+Bruce Wayne interesting i'm playing it again and in this run I named Robot as Bruce, lol! You'll play this game again many times, believe me. In 3 years, 5, 10 years, and you'll always love it as the first time!
Agreed, this was also the first RPG I ever completed without a strategy guide or help of any kind. The final battle with Lavos is a true test of your skills as a gamer. It has also aged remarkably well, and anyone I meet who has never played it I strongly suggest it as a 'must play.'
***** I was talking more about personality, but I could see Marle's blonde lightening Lucca's hair to a lighter blue. Fun fact! Bulma's hair is actually originally purple in the manga.
Masamune unleashed will forever be my favorite cutscene from this game. I love Frog as a character, and the scene just shows off some of the best aspects about him without needing to be overly long or use any voice acting.
growing up in the 80s and 90s and playing some of the greatest games in history when they were brand new i have to say that no others series like the chrono series, final fantasy, the mana series, and metroid could capture your imagination and make you wish you could really be right there with them on a true adventure. nothing touches my childhood more than hearing the chrono theme start up, or the harp prelude in final fantasy or bloody tears in castlevania. Im glad I had a slightly older brother who bought me every new rpg that came out brand new. I still have them all and now my children love them too. i apologize for the lengthy reminiscence folks, i needed to expound
I appreciate your comment, I can't play games made in this generation because of my PC specs, and high prices on Console's games. That's why I decided playing old-school games, and time after time I realized these games are awesome, and they should have sounded even more awesome when they were brand new. They had way less resources than nowadays, but they still made such masterpieces... I wonder what would happen if we get back to the past, before CT was launched, and bring Dream Team to our present, to develop their game using the resources we got now. Just imagine it...
Extremely relatable friend. I was a 90s kid and only learned about the other side of gaming when I was 8 and my brother rented FFVIII for PlayStation. I loved my Mario, Zelda and DKC games but thanks to him I got a deep interest in "lesser" known and more adult IPs like Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Secret of Mana, Lunar, Castlevania, Lufia and other games that required deep emotional investment and in return rewarded it with the greatest stories. Fond memories and Im thankful that these titles have been made and I'm still able to play them today ❤️ tl;dr nostalgia, a hell of a drug
There was really something about Toriyama's animation, RPGs and DBZ back in the 90s that cannot be replicated. They just had a certain feeling and energy that I can't explain but still exists when I go back and watch videos like this. I guess its just nostalgia but I feel like it goes beyond that.
+Vladislav Kusmin Chrono Trigger is my most favorite game ever. I play it almost yearly still. I do wish someone would make a rpg in the style or essence of Chrono Trigger, possibly build on all the elements that make it so great. I also dislike most rpg's my favorite game series are all platformer MegaMan games, so ChronoTrigger definitely transcended my normal genre comfort zone. Fuck I want a first person 3d chrono trigger so bad!!!!!
Okay can we all just agree on this being one of the best games ever made and in almost desperate need of a remake? because I'd buy it, i'd buy the shit out of it
I don't know, with the way things are done nowadays, the remake would almost certainly be made into just another "cinematic heavy action" crap. If the remake was exactly like the original (except the graphics obviously), then yeah, I'd buy it as well.
Chrono Trigger as a game is still great even now. If any game needs a remake, it's Chrono Cross. If you've played that game you know about the rushed ending and the cancelled Magus and Guile connection. I think a remake would greatly benefit that game.
I finished this game today and It was awesome. I just wish I had discovered it when I was a kid or a teenager. But Since I have no nostalgia I can say that this is one of the best rpgs I have played, it is absolutely impressive how ahead of his time this game was. Truly a masterpiece. I wish an anime version of this was made. Using all the stories from the game I am sure you can get at least 40-60 episodes. Also if it is done by the same studio that worked on the tournament of power of dragon ball super that would be great. A man can dream, sigh.
October, 2020. 0:00 best part. Seriously, for someone who haven't touched the game for a long time, that music box while looking at the whole gang's picture brings back memories of the journey we took back then with all of them. Hey! Who left the onions here?
Back here watching after hearing the devastating news of Akira Toriyama's sudden passing, he was one of the amazing minds behind this amazing game! The world got a little darker with his passing......R.I.P. Akira Toriyama
They took one of the greatest JRPGs, then re-released it with cutscenes in the style of legend himself. RIP Mr. Toriyama. You made our childhoods awesome.
He made Blue Dragon (Xbox360) sometime ago and while its first part isn't perfect, I can assure you that the game is beautiful and you should play it if possible. =)
Arathorn Elendill played the blue dragons 360 and Ds and watched the first season of its anime it was cool and what not felt like Chrono Trigger was more worthy of an anime my opinion tho
When I saw the cinematic a long time ago as a kid on the ps1 in the intro I admit it made me a little jealous as I thought it would be awesome to do that go on a adventure though time and make friendships that transcend the very laws of time itself. Just would make for a killer story to tell in life if it could ever be believable that you faced eons of opponents and forged alliances even with hated enemies. Wish they would have kept magus in the picture he is awesome.
I don't get it, why is this game so powerful? Like no matter how much times I see these scenes my eyes tear up, and I start shivering like crazy Still haven't played any game/jrpg that tops this one :P you would think all these years+better technology we'd get more masterpieces like this game
Yeah, I've never seen these cutscenes before and though I've been hearing from all my hardcore gamer friends for years that Chrono Trigger is a classic. In the first few seconds of this trailer, it doesn't take a genius to see that Akira Toriyama did was all over this. I sure do miss his 90's animation over the new style of DBZ.
***** If your comment is toward when I said, I sure do miss the 90's animation. My friend, no offense but you truly haven't been paying attention. Due to technology, the animation is more done through a computer where back than, like the old disney movies, the simpsons etc, they were hand drawn. If you watch the simpsons during the 90's and now, totally different. As far as DBZ, the old animation had much more detail than now. So though they can finish a episode a lot faster than they were able to, the detail suffered so to speak because of it. The animation now looks more cartoonish.
***** Lol, dude, I'm a artist but whatever. I'm not going back and forth with you, cause you seem like the typical youtuber who will do so. So whatever helps you sleep at night because everyone else for the most part complains about this. As I said they used more than one artist back than instead of this generic look to finish episodes faster. If you think the animation now is better and more detailed than the artist, links below(just to name 1 of his many)who did the episode when Gohan first started fighting Gotenks Buu and Goku started fighting Kid Buu by himself, 1, you need glasses and 2, don't know animation. Differences(my point), with the new animation, darker doesn't necessarily mean more detailed. True detail or realism is when you see movement of something which shows separation from that thing and the characters body, for example, hair, clothing etc. As well as the movement is far more fluid and natural. In the new, you see none of this(unless its something that has to move like Piccolo's cape), everything blends in, as well as with the background like a flat surface/i.e cartoonish. Like a tattoo, this is why certain colors and shading is used only on specific parts to make the tattoo look like it is actually popping off of the skin/the background, that is the old animation. Of course this is something mostly a artist will only see or know or in your case, take some art classes dude. Old ruclips.net/video/2s9xVr3ckHw/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jacBtF-nLXg/видео.html New, Case Closed. ruclips.net/video/RmyBsjhOpYY/видео.html
Anyone else notice grandpa Gohan in the final marriage scene? Very obviously put in for no reason than a cross reference. Much love to Akira Toriyama, he made my childhood amazing.
Anyone else feel like Chrono resembles a character from DBZ who's planet's population was nearly annihilated by a huge monster thing and defeated it with a legendary sword, not to mention a resemblance in hair color and clothing. ( it's Tapion).
Yep. That is why Chrono Trigger was known as being made by the so-called "Dream Team", the other two directors were the guys who made Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior. Which is probably why Chrono Trigger is one of the best games of all time.
I will never stop loving these cutscenes but when I see the cutscene of the gang finding a completely wrecked Robo and Lucca whips out that tiny ass screwdriver I can't resist going 'bitch what good is that gonna do'
Crono = Goku Frog (Human) = Vegeta Magnus = Piccolo Young Magnus = Trunks Marle = Chichi (I would say Bulma is Luca wasn't the tech girl) Luca = Bulma Ayla = Launch
for all my life my favorite anime art style will always be the one that reminds me of Dragon Ball Z...I just love the sharp details it has and how most of the facial changes revolve around the eyes ....I'm always surprised that this didn't get an anime adaption cause it deserves one...had all the right elements for a great anime
I really want a full remake of this game in modern FF style but the same combat. I would do so many things just to see some of the triple techs fully animated.
I don't think that would be a great idea man. Nowadays the only thing they can do is mess up classics. It would break my heart if they F*ed up with this one.
germa9090 All I feel this game would need would be a remastered musical score, and maybe HD, hand drawn sprites and backgrounds. Just a visual/ audio facelift so to speak, and leave the game otherwise as the original.
Frog = Captain Ginyu lol Frog's Masamune = Gohan's Z Sword Ayla = Launch and that kid with her is Gohan(Cell Series) Robo = Giru Luca = Pan Marle = Bulma Magus = Piccolo Chrono = Goku Lavos 2nd Form = Cell Incomplete Form Lavos 1st Form = Maybe Cell when he came out of Trunk's time machine?
I don't think I've ever seen someone as frightfully gleeful about engaging in life-threatening violence as Ayla. The bloodlust is strong in her. She's clearly a sadist too with how she handles poor Kino. Also, Lucca, I wouldn't be smiling if I had to repair a sophisticated robot with a lone flathead screwdriver lol. I hope it's actually a sonic screwdriver. Seriously though, this video is pretty cool.
No more rubbish! Ayla head explode! (If you haven’t played the game, or didn’t have Robo with you when you met Ayla, then that joke probably makes no sense....) Anyway, Ayla’s a primitive human from a warlike tribe that values strength above all. Every reference she makes throughout the game is “strong this” and “strong that,” with the word “strong” often replacing words like good or right in sentences where those words normally belong. The only time in the game where she uses the word “good” appropriately is when fighting Lavos, where she says that the creatures of this world are good, and she’ll fight him because he’s an outsider, once again, a primal, tribal, notion of good and evil, based on in-groups and out-groups. Her character is, in some ways, complex in her simplicity. For instance, I wondered why she puts up with Kino throughout the game, given her ethos and how much weaker he is than her. A number of scenes throughout the game and the ending cutscene above make it clear though that she basically sees herself as so strong that she doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone (It would be justified. Ayla is the only playable character in the game who ever does 9999 damage.) and so just chooses the mate she likes best without letting peer pressure or social norms play into it. Now, why does Ayla speak english, much less broken english, that is another question entirely. Lucca, of course, has other things in that bag. How she can repair a piece of tech from 1300 years in the future though, is another question that can only be answered by video game logic.
Damn, that's a pretty thorough analysis. She represents a darker side to human history that still dwells within each of us. Which is probably why we're attracted to video games with violence. Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever made and Marle is more my ideal girl. Soft, playful, adventurous, and actually shows compassion for you when you get brought back from the dead.
***** Lol, Lucca for me. Though I think Ayla is the most physically attractive of the bunch, Lucca seems like the kind of girl who you could play video games with. Besides I like smart girls, glasses, and tomboys...and Lucca fits all three categories lol. Marle is, pardon the pun, a bit too much of a princess for my tastes. As for chrono trigger being the greatest RPG ever, I actually have a hard time disagreeing with that statement. I know I’ve easily replayed it more than any other RPG and it somehow never gets old. Probably why I still overthink the character development of a 20 year old game lol. It’s just that good.
***** Lol, I imagine she’d be a popular choice amongst fellow nerds. Besides, she’s the only woman on the team who isn’t blonde. I am actually surprised that Ayla isn’t the more popular of the three, but then again, she’s kind of scary. I’m pretty sure that just about anyone would end up getting smacked around like Kino in that relationship and I, for one, would have no desire to take a 9999 punch for leaving the toilet seat up. What is AGDQ btw?
Guys one of the producers of this game was Akira toryiama which is why it looks and sounds like dragonball Z. I never knew Akira made this until I looked online (he is one of my favorite anime creators)
Not exactly by him. Toriyama only makes the artwork for the game. The cutscene are surely made by the directors from Dragon Ball. The same guys that makes the episodes from the anime.
Yes. I understand you. But no. Akira only made the artworks. He's not an anime drawer. He draws manga. That's different :-) It's like DB on TV. Not even 1 episode was drawn by him. Akira made the manga. Anyway, that's his style and still awesome in Chrono Trigger.
What are you talking about? Akira Toriyama does the "anime drawing." There is no difference between the art of manga and art of anime besides the animation in anime. If you knew how anime was made then you would understand.
Oh, phew. Glad to see the first starts at 2:42. The intro obviously references Marle's grandfather paradoxing, and I was afraid that the several other cutscenes also had fully animated scenes, too.
It's "internet slang" for LEET, as in Elite, or the best. When a gamer says "1337 gear" or something along those lines, they are referring to it being really good. It's mainly something younger gamers do, and I'm getting a bit old so it might even be outdated now, but it's something I and most other college-age gamers grew up hearing daily.
Will you stop saying chrono trigger resembles DBZ, it's toriyama 's art style so they will look alike,so enjoy the video and let's feel the nostalgia. :')
The feels in this game. Every cutscene I remember what point in the game it was from. Goosebumps watching this having never played the PS1 version and only played on SNES.
Gus Buster Glenn is not vegeta, he is Yajirobe; he's the one who dealt the final blow to vegeta (magus) who was the prince of the race attempting to destroy the humans.
12:20 Animation Director is not "Naoyoshi" but "Tadayoshi" Yamamuro. He worked on Dragon Ball Z serie and movies as Animation Director (since the first movie with Broly and newly on Battle of Gods). Thanks for the video ;)
I think Crono looks like Teen Gohan, Magus= Super 17, and Frog I don't know XD, but to me the character who actually looks like Piccolo is Slash, even though he is not featured in an anime Cutscene.
One thing I loved about this was Toei Animation's anime scenes added to this amazing game. Sadly I hated the PS One version but at least Square Enix made up for it, on the DS version! I even edited theses on my SNES playthough too!
Gracias Akira ésto es un a joya, ojalá algún día puedas hacer un crossover de tus dos grandes obras Chrono Tigger y Dragon Ball, tus fans te lo agradecerían =D
This game has the potential to become a great anime
you are right if it was turned into anime it would do good
+SetsyPiano I kinda feel if they did an anime and gave crono dialogue, it would kill his coolness.
+Dustin Barlow I agree cronos more of a bad ass being silent
***** lol
***** Your pointless opinion has been noted. Thank you ever so much for adding nothing to the conversation. You are an inspiration to us all.
I love Lucca's expression in the Robo scene: "I got a screwdriver! That should be enough to fix a robot over a thousand years beyond my time."
+kyoku1982 screwdriver ftw!
Huh? I thought she was working on the Telepod?:o
XD Just like how they came from 1000 A.D and they can name a computer
"I hope you at least brought a basic power-drill."
"Power what?"
***** it's over 9000!!!!
Without exaggeration and without nostalgia clouding my judgement because I just played and finished this game now for the first time, I have to say It is one of the best rpgs ever!
+Bruce Wayne Welcome to the glorious world of Chrono Trigger. I just beat it today for probably my 10th or 20th time and have been playing since I was a little boy. Happy you've seen the light.
I understand your obsession with the game. It was absolutely flawless, I love It dearly as well!
+Bruce Wayne Same here, I'm playing it right now for the very first time as well and I'm about 15 hours into the game and I'm amazed. What a beautiful game, the soundtrack, the graphics, the characters, everything simply fits together so well.
SkullRaven Don't forget the ridiculously ahead of its time encounter system. Beautiful battle system and almost no random battles!
+Bruce Wayne interesting i'm playing it again and in this run I named Robot as Bruce, lol!
You'll play this game again many times, believe me. In 3 years, 5, 10 years, and you'll always love it as the first time!
i dont recall this season of dragon ball
Gabriel I didn't know you liked CT, lul.
Kkakakakakak Very funny
the art director to chrono trigger is the arthur for dragon ball
The Dragon Ball Z sound effects are awesome
I would call them the "Toei" sound effects. They're present in One Piece as well
el creador es akira toriyama de los 2
+caleb354. e nao
It's the designer.
And Supreme Kai as the antagonist.
20 years man... 20 years, and still the BEST rpg i've ever played...
Doctor Doom um yea it was
Agreed, this was also the first RPG I ever completed without a strategy guide or help of any kind. The final battle with Lavos is a true test of your skills as a gamer. It has also aged remarkably well, and anyone I meet who has never played it I strongly suggest it as a 'must play.'
Try Nier:Automata it is another masterpiece. One of the best RPGs yet.
Yes. EarthBound might be my favorite game ever, but I admit Chrono Trigger is a superior game AND a superior RPG, imo.
@@RockBottom7626 Uh... okay, but what about JRPGs? More specifically 90s JRPGs? Do you have a favorite? :)
Wouldn't it be funny if they were flying alongside Trunks while traveling through time?
What if Lavos is actually Cell's fat cousin
Bulma's pod with Trunks or with the Cell cocoon inside for just a blip would be an excellent Easter egg.
I'm pretty sure if Lucca and Marle did the fusion dance, they'd become Bulma.
Cameron Moore Where do they get the blue hair? Marle has blonde hair and Lucca has purple/pink hair.
***** I was talking more about personality, but I could see Marle's blonde lightening Lucca's hair to a lighter blue.
Fun fact! Bulma's hair is actually originally purple in the manga.
Chrono’s reaction to the Epoch was perfect. He’s like “YOOOOO IVE ALWAYS WANTED ONE OF THESE!!!”
And also; where the hell he learned how to drive it so easily?! ^^ He's from 1000 A.D ^^
Héritage Kébèk same thing with how Lucca could fix a robot from centuries after her time with only a screwdriver
Masamune unleashed will forever be my favorite cutscene from this game. I love Frog as a character, and the scene just shows off some of the best aspects about him without needing to be overly long or use any voice acting.
RIP Akira Toriyama. This was imo your best work in terms of character design.
in my top 5 for sure

Best JRPG on 16 bit platforms. May be even best JRPG ever.

I love the cut scene of Crono trying to slay Lavos, but failing. It is touching. The end scene is amazing too.
When I saw the cinematic a long time ago as a kid on the ps1 in the intro I admit it made me a little jealous as I thought it would be awesome to do that go on a adventure though time and make friendships that transcend the very laws of time itself.
Just would make for a killer story to tell in life if it could ever be believable that you faced eons of opponents and forged alliances even with hated enemies.

I don't get it, why is this game so powerful? Like no matter how much times I see these scenes my eyes tear up, and I start shivering like crazy
Still haven't played any game/jrpg that tops this one :P you would think all these years+better technology we'd get more masterpieces like this game
I know right! I feel the same.

Anyone else feel like Chrono resembles a character from DBZ who's planet's population was nearly annihilated by a huge monster thing and defeated it with a legendary sword, not to mention a resemblance in hair color and clothing. ( it's Tapion).
Thank you!
The characters in Chrono Trigger were designed by Akira Toriyama, a Dragon Ball manga artist.
You mean THE Dragon Ball artist?
Yep. That is why Chrono Trigger was known as being made by the so-called "Dream Team", the other two directors were the guys who made Final Fantasy and Dragon Warrior.
Which is probably why Chrono Trigger is one of the best games of all time.
Peter Feng It's the hair... so many posers now trying to steal Chrono's palm tree cut.
I will never stop loving these cutscenes but when I see the cutscene of the gang finding a completely wrecked Robo and Lucca whips out that tiny ass screwdriver I can't resist going 'bitch what good is that gonna do'
The cutscenes are absolutely breathtaking for the ps1. That opening got me hyped to play it right now lol.
Anyone else feel like they're watching DBZ?
the artist kinda suck. he knows how to draw only one face.
The artist is Akira Toriyama. He always uses that style so that you recognize that he's the one who drew it.
Nope, I felt like watching Dragon Ball....yeah, you know? There's a first series with Kid Goku. Since 1986.
Yes, lol. Goku was always smackin that pussy.
Robert Chambers Holy fuck I almost forgot that! LOL
Crono = Goku
Frog (Human) = Vegeta
Magnus = Piccolo
Young Magnus = Trunks
Marle = Chichi (I would say Bulma is Luca wasn't the tech girl)
Luca = Bulma
Ayla = Launch
*****
Finally after few months someone notice. ;)
Here have a cookie!
+Achille12345 just admit you made a typo :P
TheDiego908
NEVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
i'd say frog and magus would be switched though
+Achille12345 what about robo?
for all my life my favorite anime art style will always be the one that reminds me of Dragon Ball Z...I just love the sharp details it has and how most of the facial changes revolve around the eyes ....I'm always surprised that this didn't get an anime adaption cause it deserves one...had all the right elements for a great anime
This is brilliant. I didn't play the ps version as much as the snes, but those remastered soundtracks are spine chilling!
they’re on the DS version too, which is easily the best version of Trigger to date!
@06:45
Janus' foretelling of the prophecy as the remixed Schala's theme fades in...
To this day it still gives me chills.
My favorite game of all time here! thanks a bunch for this
I really want a full remake of this game in modern FF style but the same combat. I would do so many things just to see some of the triple techs fully animated.
I don't think that would be a great idea man. Nowadays the only thing they can do is mess up classics. It would break my heart if they F*ed up with this one.
germa9090
All I feel this game would need would be a remastered musical score, and maybe HD, hand drawn sprites and backgrounds. Just a visual/ audio facelift so to speak, and leave the game otherwise as the original.
You guys wanna see something like this? Look up Chrono Resurrection. It was a fan project to remake the whole game, but SE shut it down
i think there should be a chrono trigger anime
Jack Jenkins Ok, if it is ONLY that. Then I agree.
Such DBZ noise. The animations, to the jump noise, to the energy blasts. I LOVE IT!
Chrono = Goku
Luca = Bulma
Frog = Vegeta? Green Vegeta?
Magus = Piccolo
And the kid beside the amazon is Gohan
Robo = Giru
victor hugo Palomino More like eighter.
victor hugo Palomino Nah. Giru is too cowardly to act as Robo. :|
Frog = Captain Ginyu lol
Frog's Masamune = Gohan's Z Sword
Ayla = Launch and that kid with her is Gohan(Cell Series)
Robo = Giru
Luca = Pan
Marle = Bulma
Magus = Piccolo
Chrono = Goku
Lavos 2nd Form = Cell Incomplete Form
Lavos 1st Form = Maybe Cell when he came out of Trunk's time machine?
Frog's human form looks like a mix of Zoro and Vegeta
I would say more like teen Gohan with green hair (ie. Baby when Goku first finds him).
I can see Gohan, that was my first thought, but he definitely resembles gt vegeta.
+Batlas Same thought.
The Best RPG of all times, a awesome work of the best creators team of RPG
Chrono Trigger is perfect!
Akira Toriyama + Square = Epic.
JUST GIVE US A DAMN ANIME SERIES !
2021 maybe... plz?
Knowing how much I'm a fan of Akira's work, I'm just expecting to Crono learn the Kamehameha at one point.
The fact im not a jrpg fan yet i freaking love this game is a true testament how good this really is!
Oh look it's goku holding a sword
**Gohan
It's sorta a Tri fusion
Trunks gohan and tapion
Oh look it's Goku without a sword... At least Crono have both. Magic and a sword ;)
@@toast1tv545 thank you bro, its gohan not goku
I really liked the tie in with Chrono Cross at the end there. That was a nice touch.
When they added these cutscenes to the PS1 version it made me wish they had made a short animated series too.
Chrono is the legendary Super Saiyan.
Would've been a great show.
Games Ancient
Final battle
Goku vs Chrono
1:37 i feel like this is arale and slump in an alternate universe
This game was what truly got me into anime!!
Since I only played the SNES one I had no idea these existed. It's awesome!
first played this back in 1998. I was 13. Me and a neighborhood friend used to always play rpg's together. Another kid had it and let us borrow it.
I'm disapointed that after all these years, not a single animation cel has been found for Chrono Tirgger. I'd buy one in a heart beat.
I don't think I've ever seen someone as frightfully gleeful about engaging in life-threatening violence as Ayla. The bloodlust is strong in her. She's clearly a sadist too with how she handles poor Kino.
Also, Lucca, I wouldn't be smiling if I had to repair a sophisticated robot with a lone flathead screwdriver lol. I hope it's actually a sonic screwdriver.
Seriously though, this video is pretty cool.
No more rubbish! Ayla head explode! (If you haven’t played the game, or didn’t have Robo with you when you met Ayla, then that joke probably makes no sense....) Anyway, Ayla’s a primitive human from a warlike tribe that values strength above all. Every reference she makes throughout the game is “strong this” and “strong that,” with the word “strong” often replacing words like good or right in sentences where those words normally belong. The only time in the game where she uses the word “good” appropriately is when fighting Lavos, where she says that the creatures of this world are good, and she’ll fight him because he’s an outsider, once again, a primal, tribal, notion of good and evil, based on in-groups and out-groups. Her character is, in some ways, complex in her simplicity. For instance, I wondered why she puts up with Kino throughout the game, given her ethos and how much weaker he is than her. A number of scenes throughout the game and the ending cutscene above make it clear though that she basically sees herself as so strong that she doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone (It would be justified. Ayla is the only playable character in the game who ever does 9999 damage.) and so just chooses the mate she likes best without letting peer pressure or social norms play into it. Now, why does Ayla speak english, much less broken english, that is another question entirely.
Lucca, of course, has other things in that bag. How she can repair a piece of tech from 1300 years in the future though, is another question that can only be answered by video game logic.
Damn, that's a pretty thorough analysis. She represents a darker side to human history that still dwells within each of us. Which is probably why we're attracted to video games with violence. Chrono Trigger is the best RPG ever made and Marle is more my ideal girl. Soft, playful, adventurous, and actually shows compassion for you when you get brought back from the dead.
***** Lol, Lucca for me. Though I think Ayla is the most physically attractive of the bunch, Lucca seems like the kind of girl who you could play video games with. Besides I like smart girls, glasses, and tomboys...and Lucca fits all three categories lol. Marle is, pardon the pun, a bit too much of a princess for my tastes. As for chrono trigger being the greatest RPG ever, I actually have a hard time disagreeing with that statement. I know I’ve easily replayed it more than any other RPG and it somehow never gets old. Probably why I still overthink the character development of a 20 year old game lol. It’s just that good.
It's all good, I know most people prefer Lucca apparently. She got voted for "the hug" at AGDQ lol.
***** Lol, I imagine she’d be a popular choice amongst fellow nerds. Besides, she’s the only woman on the team who isn’t blonde. I am actually surprised that Ayla isn’t the more popular of the three, but then again, she’s kind of scary. I’m pretty sure that just about anyone would end up getting smacked around like Kino in that relationship and I, for one, would have no desire to take a 9999 punch for leaving the toilet seat up. What is AGDQ btw?
I can never watch this without being bored This touches the heart.
I love to see a real Chrono Trigger anime universe or even a crossover with Dragon Ball that be sick...
Ayla’s sprite animation is oddly cute in my opinion
The baby lucca found at the end is Kid, right?
Thanks for uploading!
the characteristic toriyama style :)
Guys one of the producers of this game was Akira toryiama which is why it looks and sounds like dragonball Z. I never knew Akira made this until I looked online (he is one of my favorite anime creators)
simplesmente o melhor jogo de RPG já feito !!!! T_T
História é 10
Gráfico é 10
Trilha Sonora é 100000 !!!
Oh, I remember playing Final Fantasy Chronicles for the first time and seeing all of these cut scenes. So awesome!!
All these scenes were drawn by Akira Toriyama, the guy who drew the whole DBZ series!!!
Not exactly by him. Toriyama only makes the artwork for the game. The cutscene are surely made by the directors from Dragon Ball. The same guys that makes the episodes from the anime.
Um...if you read my comment i said Akira Toriyama DREW the cutscenes. I didn't say make.
Yes. I understand you. But no. Akira only made the artworks. He's not an anime drawer. He draws manga. That's different :-)
It's like DB on TV. Not even 1 episode was drawn by him. Akira made the manga.
Anyway, that's his style and still awesome in Chrono Trigger.
What are you talking about? Akira Toriyama does the "anime drawing." There is no difference between the art of manga and art of anime besides the animation in anime. If you knew how anime was made then you would understand.
RyoFenix Yes, you are right, but can I ask what's the name of the person who drew the animation art?
Oh, phew. Glad to see the first starts at 2:42. The intro obviously references Marle's grandfather paradoxing, and I was afraid that the several other cutscenes also had fully animated scenes, too.
i have finish this game like 30 time and there still something bothering me. who is the baby lucca find in the forest?
I think it was a tie-in to Chrono Cross, but I'm not 100% sure.
Kid from Chrono Cross
Yeah, that's Kid from Chrono Cross.
help. why is kid in chrono trigger. why is she abandoned in the forest?
Pretty sure it was part of Balthazar's plan.
Woah, that was enlightening thanks a lot!
This would
make a Good Anime "IF" Serge and Chronos could "SPEAK"
The Two Stories tied together would add to it's Alluring Splendor.
Man,this is so cool!
Anyone else notice the time for such an epic game's video is 13:37?
It's "internet slang" for LEET, as in Elite, or the best. When a gamer says "1337 gear" or something along those lines, they are referring to it being really good.
It's mainly something younger gamers do, and I'm getting a bit old so it might even be outdated now, but it's something I and most other college-age gamers grew up hearing daily.
I love how part of the ending is like ''oh look, a baby, I'll take it''
Will you stop saying chrono trigger resembles DBZ, it's toriyama 's art style so they will look alike,so enjoy the video and let's feel the nostalgia. :')
Jun Kazama It's more fun to consider Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Blue Dragon etc. to exist in the same universe as DragonBall.
JCDentonCZ DQ characters appear all the time in Dragonball's background, so probably not that off.
Scott Mackinnon Please tell me that you saw that in DYKG DQ
I did watch that, but no, I just read the DB manga and like looking at backgrounds.
What's wrong with chrono trigger resembling dbz?
What's wrong with someone saying it resembles dbz?
I say the same thing and enjoy both
My god, these DBZ and DB sound effects are great.
the frog is zoro
The feels in this game. Every cutscene I remember what point in the game it was from. Goosebumps watching this having never played the PS1 version and only played on SNES.
Simply Ecks where did these come from? DS remake? Are they on phone?
Yes its from the PS1 version and the phone version has the cutscenes as well and i believe the ds version has some too.
if Crono is Goku, Glenn is Vegeta
Nope , Glenn is Gohan.
Magus would be a fusion between Vegeta and Piccolo.
***** i would say picoloo magnus is vegita lucca is bulma
the hairstyle of glenn is similar. Magus is definitely piccollo-esque
Gus Buster Glenn is not vegeta, he is Yajirobe; he's the one who dealt the final blow to vegeta (magus) who was the prince of the race attempting to destroy the humans.
Gus Buster I would say Crono is more like Trunks
Man, sound effects... top quality.
The boss Akira Toriama!!!!!
Dragonball without all the stalling. Short and sweet. Love this compilation.
So I can see that Frog was actually Super Saiyan Green Gohan...
Give us this remake damn it!!!
I hope they’ll one day remake this in the style of dragon quest XI
As long as they keep toriyamas art
this game will never die.
would square do more with this franchise already! They've only made two games. I want more Chrono!
12:20 Animation Director is not "Naoyoshi" but "Tadayoshi" Yamamuro.
He worked on Dragon Ball Z serie and movies as Animation Director (since the first movie with Broly and newly on Battle of Gods).
Thanks for the video ;)
So Crono is Goku, Frog is Vegeta and Magus is Piccolo? Huh..
***** I'm going by appearance rather than storyline.
Matt Layne Chrono = Gohan Frog = Vegeta magus=Piccolo No Goku there.
I'm thinking more Crono=Trunks, Frog =Piccolo and Magus=VegetaTho Magus got that Piccolo swag*swoosh*
I think Crono looks like Teen Gohan, Magus= Super 17, and Frog I don't know XD, but to me the character who actually looks like Piccolo is Slash, even though he is not featured in an anime Cutscene.
Frog is Gohan and Magus is Vegeta and Piccolo wearing the potara
We NEED a Chrono Trigger anime! Right now!!
Crono = Goku ; Marle = Chi Chi ; Lucca = Bulma ; Glenn(Frog) = Gohan (Adult) ; Ayla = Lunch ; Magus = Vegeta ; Melchior = King Kai ; Mini Robo = Giru
Absolutely epic. I'm extremely pissed this isn't an anime
I just noticed Marle looks a lot like Launch from DRAGONBALL
The one who reminds me the most of Launch is Ayla, tbh.
I was hoping Crono would perform a Kamehameha at Lavos at the end.
One thing I loved about this was Toei Animation's anime scenes added to this amazing game. Sadly I hated the PS One version but at least Square Enix made up for it, on the DS version! I even edited theses on my SNES playthough too!
For fucks sake, why am I tearing up?
they all look like dragon ball z characters
That's fitting, seeing as the characters were designed by Akira Toriyama.
+Kojiro Yodobashi sure do, and the sounds are ripped too
Akira Toriyama was the character designer in this game so...
I never played this game. But I do see that the characters had to be created by the same person. Seeing the comments below I was right
Ikr
Gracias Akira ésto es un a joya, ojalá algún día puedas hacer un crossover de tus dos grandes obras Chrono Tigger y Dragon Ball, tus fans te lo agradecerían =D
