July Retro Community Playthrough - Chrono Trigger

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Same - I'm familiar with most of the game having played through 3 different versions of it, and having recently watched a speedrun that involved...eh, I don't want to mention it as it's a possible spoiler.

PSX load times can get up over a minute, and just opening your menu can take over 5 seconds. Just be prepared to deal with that possibility.

You can count me in, I am the one who made the suggestion after all.

I just don't have too much time so the ds version would be good cause its portable and I can play it in bed. Because the wife hates when I don't lay in the bed at the same time ha

Chrono Trigger while "laying" with the wife sounds pretty fantastic. Gonna have to try that myself

My wife and I have been alternating nights for a couple years now, it isn't a set rule that we must alternate her nights with me with my my alone time, but since she has so many shows she enjoys that I hate, it works out. We will lay together at bedtime one night and watch our mutual shows on the DVR, and if she passes out before me, I sneak away to play; but the next night, once the kids are in bed she will stay up and watch her shows while I play games.

If I can finish up Fire Emblem quick enough I'm definitely gonna tag along for this one. Even though I own a few different ways to play this I always have to go purist for Chrono Trigger and play the SNES version. I just can't bring myself to even try the other ones.

You can put Fire Emblem down for a month. It's OK.

Ordered a copy of the DS version from Canada as soon as I heard.  Hopefully I will get it with enough of the month left to play it.

Played this back on the SNES (I used to live opposite a video store specialising in US imports ), and it's one of my favourites.

I only have the Chronicles PS1 release. I'll try to get through this.

Fire Emblem confirmed for playthrough.

[RetroRage]

I'm playing this on my SNES for sure.

I'm already getting songs from the game stuck in my head.... I'm more excited about this playthrough than I was with Streets of Rage and that's one of my favorite series ever.

Heh btw it sounds like we're all married to the same woman

[Boshamp]

Definitely sounds like our wives would get along pretty well. If for no other reason than that they share common complaints about us and our games. ha ha ha

[douglie007]

in.. of course, now I can try and get to another ending, seen 2 so far

[h1ghw1nd]

I'm in. The PS load times are around 7 seconds for just about everything, including starting and finishing a battle. It won't be so bad

[Boshamp]

I don't want to ruin anything in the game for myself, being fresh to it, but do the endings require full playthroughs for each one, or is there a point where the game forks towards the middle or end and you can save the game there to make it easier and shorter to get each ending?
