@@benkirkmeyer4817 It matters even if it doesn't seem like it. Even Glenn as a frog, being just as good if not better than he was as a human was shunned and didn't get the recognition he deserved because of his appearance. But that didn't stop him from being good. You should be that way because you believe it's the right thing to do, not because of how others react or whether or not it gets recognized.

@@benkirkmeyer4817 If you tried, you didn't fail. Even in the worst case, your efforts will inspire those who come after. The game is only over when no one is trying anymore.
I'll never forget playing thru this scene on my SNES back in 96. I still get that ASMR feeling when this song plays. The great thing about Chrono Trigger is EVERY playable character has a great power up, emotionally transformational moment on the game. None of them are as epic as Frog's, but they all get stronger by overcoming thier past. Quite a remarkable story telling mechanic used to perfection in this game. You don't need over the top fireworks and absurd power levels in a game, you just need to feel that your characters matter and that they are stronger not due to some random Mcguffin thrown their way, but by truly bettering themselves in an emotionally impactful way. It's a truth most game makers and Hollywood script writers forget.
Well said brother, I feel like this game has caused a new evolutionary phase in those who have played it. I can't quite find the words to describe it but I just know anyone who has experienced this game must understand my sentiments.
@@Kingzylo I had a similar experience after watching the full run of Gurren Lagann..there's something really special about the idea that you can overcome any challenge, no matter how absurdly difficult if you just keep trying.

@@wojtektaracinski7977 the concepts are all by akira toriyama but I doubt he was responsible for the pixel art interpretation; which is also in a class of its own lmao

More or less, i would rather say its Trunks thou. That smirk and the eyes are more of Vegeta/Trunks than from Goku tbh. (WE STILL NEED THAT ANIME OF CHRONO TRIGGER! WITH THE VOICE ACTORS FROM DB!(Yes i am aware that Vegeta is basicaly a Frog for like 90% of that series then, but he already wielded the pacifier of doom so...))
@@christianresel8051 Gleen seems more like TRUNKS...Chrono is all about GOKU! Lucca have BULMA's vibes...and MAGUS remind me a mix of VEGGETA + PICCOLO.
Honestly that doesn't look like Goku or Trunks or Tapion etc. That's just AT's legendary art style. Even though he has those db like features, he looks like his own character. That's the real magic
I am eternally grateful that Square and other jrpg companies realized in the early-mid 90s they had all of the hardware necessary to go from a console generation where it was mostly refining and bringing to homes what people had been doing in the arcades for the past couple years, to making full ass stories with fleshed out characters and music that ended up sticking with me into adulthood. Hell yeah.
28 years later. Here I am, searching google for "next chrono trigger remake". This game is a legend in my memories. I was in 6th grade at the time. Man, was it great not to have to worry about work. Go home from school to playing this was the best.
RIP to our heavenly brother Akira Toriyama 🙏 Long live his work. Chrono Trigger definitely helped keep me sane when I was in the Army. Thanking sensei Toriyama for that 🙌 🕊
@@Salidin111 Actually, if you really think about it, Chrono's mom is the hero. Gave him life, woke him up in time and gave him money for the millennial fair. GOAT mom right here.
That whole translation is a disaster. It makes Janus seem like some evil Chucky doll of a kid and not the confused, messed up child with a potential for good that he is.
Yea, I still prefer the original SNES version translation. The re-translation they did with later versions is weird. I remember playing the DS version a few years back to try to see the new extra content and like half the item names were changed, and usually not for the better.
God this game is such a fucking masterpiece! When I was 6 and played this the first time this scene gave me goosebumps. I'm 34 and I still get them when I watch either version lol such a great game with the best soundtrack.
Little fun thing i discovered just now (sadly just now): Finn and Nagi from Evertale are bascialy CHRONO AND FROG. Their SSR versions can carry their respective weapons AND their personality is near 100% that of those 2 (thou seeing Frog/Glenn compliment everything that is female, even when it would be a trap, would be somewhat hilarious tbh.). Nagi = Frog, can wield the Greatsword/2 Handed Sword , while Finn = Chrono, can wield the Katana. Their movesets are also more align with chrono trigger on SSR rank sooo dont ever even tell me Evertale is bad when it has those 2 hero's in it! (and Nagi is a fucking FROG btw. wich makes that even more awesome, thou finn does not look like a badass hero sadly..)
What sucks is that the marketing for the game is trying to attract the horror game crowd where if it instead tried to attract the RPG/anime crowd it would be liked 1000% more. Imagine if instead of the pokemon horror ads we currently have they switched it to anime-style adaptations of moments in the game's story. The game's sales would be through the roof and it wouldn't have any bad reputation, allowing people to see it shine for what it is
Glenn and Cyrus reminds me of Cloud and Zack. Living Legacy. I'm sure ff7 drew from Chrono Trigger and added their own touch. They stood on the shoulders of the greatest giant and became giants of their own.
Just as Cyrus is Roland and Glenn is Oliver, the slicing of the mountain is a reference to the Gap of Roland (also called Roland's Breach), a stone formation that was supposedly created when Roland tried to destroy his sword (Durendal) in order to keep it out of the hands of his enemies by slashing the mountainside.
Dude even with the load times, the PS1 version was great due to those cool little animated cutscenes! Just be glad you got to experience such an epic game!
And that's how it should've played out in the actual game. Instead, all of the cinematic scenes are ruined by the game then immediately playing the original scene, showing us what we just saw again. The fade to black we see here should've immediately transitioned into being inside the cave.
Honestly I didn't understand most of waht was going on as a kid. Between their translations and my attention span, good luck XD I got the gist of it. But did they leave out a scene with magus killing cyrus and mocking glenn?
You get that slightly earlier in the game before this whole cutscene. I think when you first bring the sword to him in his frog pad and have the sleepover party. I was hoping to talk about cute frog boys and do each other’s nails instead of going into our childhood traumas but he’s still a homie
Man, Frog is so much better than most other „inspirational“ anime characters. Let’s compare him with All Might for example, after some training he gained One for All, basically the ultra OP bs power in the MHA universe, and quickly becomes a catastrophic hero. Not only does he fully rely on his power to do everything for him despite looking humble in the outside, but he also makes everyone rely on him and doesn’t even suggest any ways to improve Japans villain pushing society, which later on caused it to collapse when he retired, great job, idiot. Frog on the other hand got turned into a… frog, but even then he never gave up and instead did his best to make his fallen ally proud of him, even going as far as to spare the life of the man who did all those terrible things to him. We know All Might or Deku wouldn’t have done that, they would have just given up the literal instance they lost OFA in their frog form, either that or they would have brutally killed Magus because they’re too stupid to see past the constructs of heroes and villains
RIP Akira Toriyama, your art style will forever be unmistakable.
Yeah
Rip rest in peace may your artwork be continued in your legacy ❤❤
I think he was kinda if dickweed
Especially since all his characters look the god damn same. Making it kind of hard to mistake.

It wasn't the sword that cut the mountain in half. It was Frog. His new found confidence made it possible, not the sword.
25+ years later and this is still my most favorite character theme music in a video game.
I wholeheartedly agree. And probably my most fondest video game moment of all time. It never gets old ❤️
Olympic theme
I exercise to this cover by ferdk, should check him out.
@ANTHONY thanks man you really educated me. Make sure you tell your 1 or 2 friends about the guy you burned on a video game comment.
Yeah me too and Cygan in FF6
Toriyama.. I will never forget you.. Thank you. Dragonball wasn't the only thing I will always be grateful for. RIP sir.
The day Cyrus died was the worst day of Frog's life, but for Magus....it was Tuesday.
That is why Magus deserve to die to Frog and his Masamune.
