It happens... but never underestimate we nerds and our fixation on pronunciation! You monster!

Lol I'm so excited you've started Chrono Trigger ⏳ This has been my favorite JRPG since I was 10 so I really hope you enjoy this one 💙

This game is a masterpiece

For your next playthrough promise me you'll play Super Mario Galaxy. It's one of the cutest games I've ever played and the baby lumas REEEEEEEEE

That check mark is really beautiful 😏❤

gooble gobble one of us, one of us

Who doesn't like this music, or really anything about this game.

@@mage1over137 the worst thing about the game is that ayla has no sidequest. Why.

@@gachalibra9243 yeah the had one planned but they cut the extra dungeon in the DS was based on it and used it's music.

F YEAH BOIS

Same. I have seen quite a few playthroughs and that almost never happens without help from either a guide or having prior knowledge.

I also got not guilty

I just finished ALL endings on ePSXe, and not even once i got not guilty, WTF!

@@TheNemesisXt You have to behave like a typical JRPG Protagonist to be guilty. Taking anything that isn't nailed down, going for objectives and not talking to folks, picking the funny options, getting impatient and wanting to go at your pace, not the NPCs', etc. Basically, if you're role-playing Crono as a Good Dude, you're fine, but if you play it like it's a game meant for you, it'll getcha.

I got guilty for the first 3 times 😄. By the fourth I finally figured it out 😄.

I could do without the HP bars and little graphic changes as well, but Frog's dialogue just feels off now. I suppose these nitpicks wouldn't be an issue for a brand-new player.

@@rafetizer Yeah, maybe that's just OG player nitpicks, but I hear ya.

@@AceCorban "Too much soup, sleep like stone" "Rawboot? What you say? Make no sense Ayla head go boom"

I feel some of the changes were warranted because they "unchanged" certain contextual shifts that the original translation unintentionally introduced. For example, Frog's _ye olde speake_ gave the impression that he was a very proper, respectful, polite person. But in the original Japanese, he's actually much more brash and "when in doubt, hit it with a sword". He uses "less than polite" speech with most people, except *very* few individuals like the Queen. But then, when you fight Slash in Magus's castle, they treat each other very respectfully as fellow swordsmen and are each honored to fight (and, afterwards, Slash is honored to be beaten by) such a skilled opponent. But, in the translation, Frog goes from uncharacteristically polite to uncharacteristically insulting to a fellow warrior; instead of respect, it's an exchange of flaming banter. And the flashback scene to Glenn's childhood, when Cyrus chases off the boys messing with him, it wasn't that Glenn was afraid of *being* hurt. He was aware of how strong *he* was and knew that if he fought back, the *other kids* would get hurt. But that didn't really come across well in the original translation because calling someone a "marshmallow" tends to come off as "physically sensitive" rather than emotionally. But then, on the other hand, there were quirks of the translation that were not only good enough in relaying the meaning, but they also became _iconic_ (but you're still hungry). Changing those to a more literal translation gained nothing, but lost the iconic feel of the lines. So I approve of the changes that brought a better picture of the original context and avoided _unnecessary_ changes. But I don't like the changes that not only didn't do anything to provide a better or more true translation, but also lost iconic charm in the process.

@@rafetizer you mean the dialog feels correct? how is you wanting the game to be worse a "nitpick"? its straight up dumb the correct translation holds way more weight in scenes i dont see how having some cringe incorrect translation would make the game better apart from if you're blinded by nostalgia the modern UI is ugly though

the theme is quite... timeless...

It's crazy because I played this game later in life but all the music sounded so familiar and nostalgic

And the game. Seriously it’s all good. Anything the same people who are Dragon Quest do is gold. Yuji Horii and Akira Toriyama to be exact.

@Zangyaku Diluc it was the FX Chip design customary for the SNES. Super Mario RPG and a few other games had it that came towards the end of the SNES’s life.

@@JMartini810 It's insane, isn't it? I get emotional and nostalgic like nothing from my childhood can get me, but I played it for the first time in my 20s!

Yasonuri Mitsuda is ALWAYS a win *ding ding ding*

You and me both buddy

Those two are still my favorites of all time!

Me too. I was born in 1980. Ff6 came out and I got it shortly after I was in a bad accident at 14 years old and got me through that. Not to mention years later in my life. I'm 40 and I still pick up FF and CT about once a year

@@chrischandler889 turning 40 this year. ;) totally feel you. Best games ever. They ruined me for more 3D stuff. I had such trouble adapting to flying mobs later on. XD

not these games for me but I def feel that

Top 2 rpgs ever imo. Hate to say it but i think chrono trigger beats out ff6

I'm with you broski

41 here. Sadly I missed out on it when it was new but I discovered back in the early 2000s when I was into emulation and roms. I remember just listening to the music without doing anything cause it was so good. Its amazing how this game, its cast story, etc. can still affect people.

Same, except I'm 41. This was the first game I ever paid for with my own money and one of my all time favorites. Watching someone else experience it for the first time is definitely very impactful.

Im 43 and I got it for SNES on release day. This video was a shortcut straight to “manly tears”! I need to play this again soon

OMG I’m not the only one! Lol. It’s so good to know I’m not alone. They sound of this music makes me so happy I tear up. Best game ever created.

Yes exactly my thoughts

The enlightened ones it's like the after life theme song. .if there was one.

It wasn't "olde English" as much as it was bastardized wannabe King James version of English. It was hilarious and incredibly inaccurate.

@@TheDancerMacabre oh, wasn't it? i ain't familiar with the specifics of stuff and not an expert with the language but it looks old english to me with words like "thou art" and "my guise doth not incur thy trust". at least that is how movies portray old english. but, thank you for enlightening me, kind sir.

@@irwinvillanueva1308 Yeah it was pseudo Early Modern English. And yes, you read that right. "Modern" English. Fun fact: Shakespearean/King James English is not Old English. If you actually tried to read real Old English, you probably won't understand anything except the conjunctions, which remained relatively the same :D Also, am I the only one who found it weird that Frog was the only character who spoke that way? Everyone else from his era spoke like normal. And SPOILERS to anyone else reading-- Heck, even the people from Zeal spoke in a much more modern fashion than Frog despite being 12,600 years before him. Frog is my favorite, but dang he's quite the oddball in terms of his speech mannerisms.

@@FirstNameLastName-oz5ij cool info and i have to admit i haven't read any old english literature myself. hahaha. gotta check them sometime. and if i remember correctly frog in the original japanese version did not speak with the "thou" equivalent (i think like gozaru?). instead it was just a proper manner like how the ds ports are.

​@@irwinvillanueva1308 Correct regarding Frog's speech in the original. You can probably find the full script on Chrono Compendium still. That said, I think the translation team eventually wanted to make everyone speak like Frog does in the SNES translation, but for whatever reason, wasn't able to make that a reality prior to release. It's been a while, but I don't think it was supposed to be "Proper," but more like a... I guess "Samurai" cliche? If you go to Chrono Compendium and look up the Translation Differences page... "Frog was radically changed in the NA version from his original characterization; he did not speak formally and was not the cookie cutter white knight, instead having more of a activous tone. The horrible Elizebethan English of the NA game made Frog seem somewhat of a flowery buffoon; the transition to real dialogue makes him much more serious and real. He was also not afraid to call Magus a pale-faced bastard, or Ayla an idiot for believing him a meal. A good example of his attitude is found in the End of Time dialogue. "Frog: Nothing's going anywhere if you don't have a guy who's good with a sword, right?""

I mean,feels trips hurt but they good

I agree they add to the experience and nostalgia of the game. To say yeah this game made me feel like I did playing such and such. Forever cementing their memory in your mind.

listens to music in 600 AD, "I LOVE THIS" yes so did i when i first heard it, all i did was roam around the little place you could just listening to the music in 600 ad

bruh i never watched this anime opening of it. didn't know.

@@unlimited971 think it only came with the later releases. Ive onlyed this on my snes

@Twice is the Worst Girl Group you know what, that's a huge compliment coz i'm 35

Lol that was the 1st thing I thought as well!

@@Laggylaunty but she still got a good trial. I was surprised she got all the stuff from the people. :)

good thing she didn't steal the dude's lunch

@@sarafontanini7051 Yep. I did that on my first run through lol

@@FirstNameLastName-oz5ij I'm sure almost EVERYONE did back in the day

I know right this is my favorite game of all time

@@parkerlarson6692 The best RPG of all time

Get off your high horse 🐎 lol

All about you, huh

@@applied__science yes it is.

Think my favorite is undersea palace

what the....why have i never realized this..

Are you saying Chrono Trigger rickrolled us in the 90s?

@@eccemono6534 yep

Here's a quote from Yasunori Mitsuda regarding it from I think 2008 "It certainly is the first time I've seen this. I'm surprised! That's the first time I've heard of Rick Astley, and it's interesting that such a phenomenon is happening in a different country"

Now the song is stuck in my head 😂

Thank you!!!

@@SarahKey your welcome and I love you

One of mine, too!

Ya ff6/CT/Secret of evermore etc

Dude this game is still to this day the #1 game in my opinion. Number. One.

@@Johnny-dj4xe This game is the peak of all video games ever created still to this day.

@@bachelorsensei9437most people don't understand how this was way ahead of it's time. The 90s was sick

One of my all time favourite game i like all the story in the game 😆

🤘🏽👉🏾👃🏼👃🏼🫁✨🌬💨🎆

I just got 2 star on a strong character's magic. She was my last one. Our mage was the last character to reach level 99, aka 2 star

I know! It's awful how it was just cut out in favor of the pointless PS1 CG in so many of the re-releases.... IMO those PS1 cutscenes only exist as a way to tie the game to the story of Cross, which is a game I appreciate the merits of, but do not regard as a real sequel or cannon or truly connected... it was certainly something aesthetically exquisite and fun and worth playing, especially when it first came out, but it does such a disservice to the original in fundamental ways, that I can't ever think of it as truly connected... more like a trippy dream to check out if one is curious nowadays, whereas Chrono Trigger will be a classic forever. I can't believe people used to serious debate about this when Cross was more relatively new... and hell, I know that feeling of wanting the new album from your favorite band to be as great as the others, and you can even convince yourself it is for a week or two... it feels so shitty to realize that something you expected to be wonderful and magical is merely another flawed creation of flawed people, and the perfect masterpiece that happened to appear previously was a rare gift, not something to ever take for granted... and eventually, it makes one's appreciation of those rare as-close-as-it-gets to perfect things that much deeper for it. Didn't mean to go on so long sorry lol

Agreed, SNES opening was better.

Where is the stream for this? I take it she doesn't archive them?

@@VirGnar Yeah, unfortunately. She does keep certain ones over on Twitch, but she didn't keep these ones, sadly. But, at least we're getting videos here.

Every JRPG is just a contest to see how fast Sarah gets the feelz =D =D

Agreed. A modernized version would wreck what makes it work.

As is Masato Kato.
