Story

Chrono, the spikey haired hero, goes to the Guardian Fair where he runs into(literally) Marle who is the princess of Guardia. Chrono's nerdy friend Lucca has been working on a teleportation device that is being unveiled at the fair. The princess, eager to try it, jumps on the teleporter. But when her pendant reacts with the telepotation feild, it opens a gate through time to the year 600ad. Chrono quickly jumps on the teleporter with the pendant and begins his journey through time.

This is the official Discussion thread for Chrono Trigger, you can discuss the characters the story, how much you hate it, how much you love it, how much you want them to add it on the Wii's virtual console, techs and dual techs, favorite team setups, the battle system, the 32 bit graphics(highest graphic rating for any snes game), the many different endings to the game (like 6 I think), your favorite time period, Wether Chrono should remain frozen in time or not, or basically anything about Chrono Trigger...I don't know how many people are in this guild, but if they haven't played Chrono Trigger, then it would be hard to classify them as a hard core RPG gamer.

Also, I haven't seen a single post in 2 days, other than my own and you response. I am a little concerned that I am wasting my time here.

I was out recruiting for a reason. This place DESPERATELY needs some more activity and people in it.

At any rate, Magus is awesome, true, and for years, he was my favorite, as well. But recently (past year or two), my favorite character has become, believe it or not, Marle. Yes, yes, I know she's incessantly cheerful and not terribly bright. But there's something about her simple, yet completely indomitable faith and devotion that sets her apart, to me. She has ideals, she sticks with them no matter what, and she'll immediately put herself up against any foe, no matter how dangerous, just because it's the right thing to do. She doesn't worry about the consequences to her own well-being, she just DOES it. She's a constant beacon of hope and encouragement to her entire team, never giving up and never accepting something that's wrong as unchangeable fate (Lavos's destruction of the world, Crono's death, etc).

Is she smart in this? No. Are her iron-clad beliefs and hopes realistic? No. But that, to me, is what sets her apart from most other characters in RPGs, even the ones who share the "hopeful encourager" character type. Her faith, confidence, and dedication are not merely strong, they are pure. They're unhindered, unchanged, untainted by unpleasant experience and reasonable expectations. In being so intractably naive and unbending, she becomes as pure a pillar of faith, confidence, and morality as any character you can find. And so, she has become my favorite--because as great as the rest of the cast is, their personalities' worths just don't really compare to hers.

Frog was my favorite for a long time, but some time ago Robo booted Frog out of that spot when he got trashed by his six brothers, rebels against the Mother Brain, and spends 400 years regrowing a forest with Fiona... (That sidequest always tears me up, when they reunite in the new 1000 AD.)

...I'm going to have to replay Chrono Trigger sometime soon, because the plot's just one huge blur in my memories, and that's just shameful. (And all the alternative endings probably didn't help either. XD)

Patience, Corporate. An active guild is not made instantly. Creating the bases for discussions that will occur as people check in now and then is the first step, but we can't expect too much all at once.

And yeah, Robo is a really under-appreciated paragon of personal sacrifice for the sake of human love and friendship, concepts that he, as a robot, doesn't even necessarily HAVE to feel or support. He really gives his everything for others.

For the longest time Ayla was my favorite character. For a group of people who almost all have magic (even Spekkio comments that Robo's lasers are shadow-based) it was refreshing to have someone running around bashing stuff with her fists.

Now though, Lucca is my favorite. When around the group she gives off this "Mad Genius" persona and shows off a lot of self-confidence, but, during the times with Robo, you see that caring, lonely, side, treating Robo as a person instead of a machine. I can't recall much, it's been a long time since the last time I played but it seems that she was more broken up over what happens to Robo than she did when Crono, her best friend, dies by Lavos.

I think Ayla's the reason I love Hawkgirl so much from the JL cartoons, her answer to every little problem in life is to bash it with a mace. And nine times out of ten it works. mrgreen

I have no idea why, but for some reason that is the only place that I'll have Lucca Marle and Ayla running around in. It's like, that's their special little girls only adventure, using girl power to escape from Dalton and then be confronted by Magus. rolleyes
