Eventually, seven characters, each with unique attacks, join the party. Players take the role of Crono, a young swordsman who inadvertently discovers a gateway in time when his friend's invention goes haywire. And what still remains is an excellent 15-20 hours of RPG goodness. Anime-style cut scenes, made by "Dragon Ball" creator Akira Toriyama, have also been grafted in.īut the point of "Chrono Trigger" isn't what has been added but what still remains from the old days. New optional dungeons to explore have been added, as well as the ability to raise monsters and battle friends in a multiplayer arena mode. The game's script has received an updated translation and localization from its original Japanese. The controls now support the DS stylus, and the battle menus can now spread across both screens, allowing for more space. The DS version is almost completely identical to the original, with a few tweaks. Now Square Enix has re-released "Chrono Trigger" for the Nintendo DS, allowing a new generation of gamers to experience its classic gameplay (and letting old-schoolers revisit the nostalgia of youth). It was lauded as a breakthrough hit at the time. While retaining the epic linear storytelling of the best RPGs of the day, the game's menu-driven combat system focused on battlefield locations, area-of-effect attacks and special tag-team moves. Made by a dream team of some of the brightest minds in Japanese video games, "Chrono Trigger's" fast-paced role-playing gameplay won over a lot of fans bored with slower games like the "Final Fantasy" series. "All of the characters of Chrono Crusade are fictional characters made up specifically for the story, except Mary Magdalene, who is the fictionalized version of the Biblical character." 15 The problem with using the word "currently".ĥ I would like to use the picture of this article.Gameplay: "Chrono Trigger" originally hit the 16-bit Super Nintendo in 1995. The Mary Magdalene in the manga is a girl with special abilities that in turn caused her to lose her memory, including her identity. The Order took her in for protection and, since she didn't know her name, dubbed her Mary Magdalene. She is not supposed to be the same person as in the Bible - she's just named after her.Ĭould have been different in the anime. Not too sure myself since I only know the manga version of the story.- Blanko4 06:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC) Plot Synopsis? Įxcuse me if I screw this up, this is my first addition to a talk page. So, I can't help but notice that there's no plot synopsis for this series.

Perhaps someone can add that here? I would, except I've never seen the series.- Gunboat Diplomat, 04:21, 2 June 2006 If you look at other anime/manga wiki pages, you'll see that they dedicate, at least, a sentence in the first paragraph, describing what the series is about.

You can't really go wrong on a talk page unless you resort to senseless arguments, :P. Indeed, there is no plot synopsis for this series. It's been a while since I last looked at this page, but you can sort of gather what happens when you read the character profiles. I've just added an introductory sentence to the series, and also a plot section (stub) which someone will hopefully be kind enough to expand. If I recall correctly, the manga and anime series do branch off from a certain point.
