WOO new reupload! Everyone's favorite, right?? This was actually the first video of mine that EVER trended on RUclips! Pretty ironic seeing how it was also the least viewed "Brief History" I ever made for the Theorist channel. Anyway, new "Brief History" next week! Love you
That Matpat monologue at the end was pretty great lol. Great job again with this video. I never enjoyed Chrono Trigger myself because I have watched so much of it ;-; but I hope that one day they will make a new game and I will get to enjoy it for myself!
This one stands to me as one of the best episodes you've done. I know RUclips comments are usually negative or people take things for granted, but I just want to say that I really like your style. Music is catchy and consistent, all years are represented by albums, etc. It's all very well done. Good job, man.
Apperently Frog didn't even need his help, since he was bound to rescue her anyway. Just relax Crono. Find a time warp to right before 1200 BC, kill Leene as a baby, then never allow her to empower Lavos. Done and done.
@frozennaorta: yes, but the problem was that Frog would not end up saving her because of Marle being mistaken as Leene. When that happens they killed Leene, thinking she wasn't the queen and they kipnaped the wrong person. That is why Crono and Lucca had to go save her.
Chronoic You're missing the point. Yes, these things are simple in game points made very clear. But what I'm saying is that Frog DOES still show up. This is the paradox of Chrono Trigger. What prevents Glenn from saving Leene? Clearly he was already headed to the cathedral to do what he was going to do...so wtf? Most all of the "problems" that Crono "fixes" along the way were things that were going to happen anyway. The rise of the Ocean Palace/Black Omen is the first real impact his party has on history. The rest was written exactly as it happened.
Fun fact: if you find some of the original concept art-work for the game, you'll see that Aayla was originally drawn with straight hair and looked almost identical to Android 18.
I love you and Mat because you guys take so much of your time of and just work on these historys and therious! This inspiers me to do my own one day magbe about fnaf 7. Thank you for the inspection!
Foot...this is my favorite video you have done...I started watching the film theorists YEARS ago because I typed Chrono Trigger into youtube...this gives me both Nostalgia for old game theory, but also joy that both you and him have grown as creators on this channel...thanks for all the joy.
HOPE HAS COME MY FRIENDS!!! In an interview, When asked about Square's Plans for the Switch, they said this. "We base our development resource allocations on the unique attributes of each platform. In particular, Nintendo Switch makes it easier for us to leverage our back catalog of assets and expertise, so we want to be proactive in creating new IP and *rebooting past titles* for that platform." Chrono Resurrection anybody? (bad joke is bad)
I think you guys should have mentioned that when Chrono Trigger was first developed it was a big deal that Squaresoft and Enix were separate companies, especially since this is supposed to be a history video.
Chrono Trigger is the game that tricked me into loving RPGs. As a very young child, I didn't exactly have a concept of genres. I tried Breath of Fire 1 and Lufia 2 (now one of my favorite games of all time) and was like, "Why can't I see enemies before I fight them? And why am I just standing here letting them hit me?" CT's merging of overworld and battle scenes helped it click for me. RPGs have pretty much been my favorite genre ever since.
Great job guys. We all want a sequel. MatPat, if you started a petition for a sequel (or a remake) of CT, it could really sway things man. Your voice can help.
I figured they were going to mention Lost Sphear because it came out today and is the next game from square and tokyo rpg factory which is clearly trying to make games with the Chrono Trigger aesthetic
As I recall from my dozens of runs in my teenage years, even once taking the time to investigate and write them down, there are 10 main endings with multiple variations of the last, and 1 "bad" ending. Endings are categorized by "when" you beat Lavos in the timeline. The variations of the final ending depend on the little and no-so-little things you did while questing: did you kill Magus? did you destroy the Epoch? did you save Lucas's mother from the accident? etc.
Also notable, the game includes a literary reference. The character of Ayla (the cavewoman from the prehistoric era) shares a name with the protagonist of the _Earth’s Children_ series by Jean Auel.
I imagine rising production costs and the need for manpower is what made Square hesitant to continue the franchise in later years. When game development started to become more and more demanding, companies usually focus on their more safe labels rather than pour a lot of resources into risky ventures like lesser known IPs. CT is unarguably a classic, but it is not as well known as US gamers think as the game didn't get a worldwide release back in the day (its DS port was the first version to be localized everywhere rather than just the US). Cross still hasn't seen a release in regions outside of JPN and the US too. This makes the label really underexposed and thus a gamble to continue (in a manner worth of continuing the series, anyway).
I was gonna post this on an animation video...but...I'LL DO IT HERE!LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! But you know what we'd really love...? A BRIEF HISTORY ON SWOOZIE AND DOMICS! C'MON, THEY'RE THE GRANDADDIES OF ANIMATION VLOGGING!!! C'MON, FRIEND, DO IT!!!P.S. Love your videos--been watching them since you were on the Game Theorists and came back here! :D
One day, they'll come back to the series, then you'll see Chrono Trigger 2, Chrono Trigger 2-2, Chrono Trigger 3, Chrono Trigger 3 Remix, and so on. They'll probably turn it into a first person game at some point.
please can you do A Brief History of Battle For Dream Island/ huang brothers (creators of BFDI) or a Brief History of the object show community in general or A Brief History of SMG4/hobo bros or a Brief History of Total drama. i would at least love to see 1 of them please
What if the Chrono developers didn't make any proper sequel to Chrono Trigger because they're afraid they might disappoint the fanbase because the game not meet their expectations?
I was very annoyed by the fact that the Steam port although has the new content from the 3DS version but was missing two of the cutscene videos from the PS version.
...And here we are 2 months later and Square releases yet another port for the PC, and then all of us Chrono fan boys and girls are sad pandas (or Frogs, or Robos....) :-(
WOO new reupload! Everyone's favorite, right??
This was actually the first video of mine that EVER trended on RUclips! Pretty ironic seeing how it was also the least viewed "Brief History" I ever made for the Theorist channel.
Anyway, new "Brief History" next week! Love you

That Matpat monologue at the end was pretty great lol.
Great job again with this video. I never enjoyed Chrono Trigger myself because I have watched so much of it ;-; but I hope that

So, um...Crono doesn't save Queen Leene *from* Frog, but instead *with* Frog
Yeah, that part jumped out at me right away.
Apperently Frog didn't even need his help, since he was bound to rescue her anyway. Just relax Crono. Find a time warp to right before 1200 BC, kill Leene as a baby, then never allow her to empower Lavos. Done and done.

Yeah.
Toriyama was part of chrono trigger? Is that why crono looks like a Saiyan?
Lol yea
Fun fact: if you find some of the original concept art-work for the game, you'll see that Aayla was originally drawn with straight hair and looked almost identical to Android 18.
You have to see the musical of this made by Man on the internet. Thus first song of it came out today. It's really cool!
Ayyy the MOI fans made it over here!
MOI FANS UNITE
Yeah!
I love you and Mat because you guys take so much of your time of and just work on these historys and therious! This inspiers me to do my own one day magbe about fnaf 7. Thank you for the inspection!

I’d be “game”. *rimshot*. #NotSorry .

YAY CHRONO TRIGGER
No mention of the amazing music?

I love these brief videos and your quick wits in them.
This game also has one of the most ICONIC soundtracks in history. World Revolution is still one of the best boss battle songs ever.

Great video!

*Slow Clap* Nailed the Names
2:24, with the release of Chrono Trigger on DS, onward, the endings are now 13 where it was 12
Yay! It's back! Now let's hope the Earthbound one will be home soon!
Also notable, the game includes a literary reference. The character of Ayla (the cavewoman from the prehistoric era) shares a name with the protagonist of the _Earth’s Children_ series by Jean Auel.
You know I can see a lot of Son Goku and Bulma in two of the characters

What if the Chrono developers didn't make any proper sequel to Chrono Trigger because they're afraid they might disappoint the fanbase because the game not meet their expectations?
I'd never finish this, the true Lavos was to difficult. And Magnus/Janus was my favorite character to use
Um, Dragon Quest VII was not released by Square. Enix was the developer of the DQ games, until about 2003 when the two companies merged.
Can we get a brief history on Austin "Mr Science" ?
How did you get these popular RUclipsrs on here? It's crazy.
I was very annoyed by the fact that the Steam port although has the new content from the 3DS version but was missing two of the cutscene videos from the PS version.

What if square enix won't make another chrono bc they want Akira Toriyama to be onboard but he won't do it? Just a wild guess idk
Two words: Crimson Echoes. :)
Toei is the animation crew of ddbz
I'd rather it just be ported to infinity and beyond than a 3D remake or sequel
Yoheer there’s a sequel already.
I heard that elements of Chrono Brake made it into FF XIII-2, but I can't confirm if their source was correct or not. Which make me even more upset!
didn't even make the cut for SNES mini lol
Chrono Trigger was a legend, Chrono Cross was a mistake.
the DS, iOS and Android version of the game have 13 endings
...And here we are 2 months later and Square releases yet another port for the PC, and then all of us Chrono fan boys and girls are sad pandas (or Frogs, or Robos....) :-(
1:21 grade a under a refernce
