PrinceWatercress plays Chrono Trigger (Super NES) - Part 70 of 70

Well, time to bring this to a close. I believe I've shown as much of this game as I can, as much as I love it to death. See you next Let's Play.

First | Previous

In this video, I do a couple of things. I show off the battle with Magus in 12,000 B.C., which is pretty easy. If you have Frog in your party, it will be Frog vs. Magus; otherwise, it will be your entire party vs. Magus. Magus will just have Lightning 2, Fire 2, Water 2 and the scythe attack. When you beat him, he will tell you about Gaspar and the Chrono Trigger, then die. The sparkle that is where he once stood is the Amulet, which anyone can equip to protect against status ailments.

I also get the Mop by Charming a Nu in the Hunting Range in 65,000,000 B.C. The Mop is even weaker than the Wood Sword, and is Crono's weakest weapon. It also has no slash animation.

I also get the Slasher 2 in this one. It is one of Crono's stronger weapons, but has no special effects added to it like increasing stats, protecting against anything, etc.

I beat Lavos with and without Magus, both times with the Epoch crashed into Lavos. The "Reunion" and "Beyond Time" endings, both with and without Magus, are similar to each other in every way except with the "Reunion" endings having the scene where Marle heads to Death Peak to get Crono back. Frog will only be in human (read: Glenn) form during the "Reunion" ending with Magus dead in 12,000 B.C.; neither the "Reunion" and "Beyond Time" endings without Magus with the Epoch crashed will not show Frog/Glenn in his human form. So you're not missing much in that department. 

Other things to mention:

The Boss Orb and Side Kick battle in the Black Omen does not let you use techs and items at all, even before Lock All is cast by the Boss Orb. The spell is just a formality and does absolutely nothing, as techs and items are turned off before the battle even begins. This is also true of the Turret battles on the Blackbird as well as any battles with Rubbles.

Azala is female. I mention it in another video, but I'm mentioning it in this blog entry. You don't get to see her pronouns in the Super NES English translation due to how Ted Woolsey had to do everything just to meet Nintendo of America standards; the DS version and beyond with the translation closer to the original Japanese text as well as the Super Famicom version do refer to Azala as female.

Ayla gets the Iron Fist at Level 72. It replaces the fist, has a different strike animation, and inflicts Chaos on any enemy upon landing a critical hit, should the enemy survive. She also gets the Bronze Fist at Level 90, which has a different strike animation and does 9999 damage upon landing a critical hit.

With that, that's all that there is to say about Chrono Trigger, which is my absolute summit of favorite games of all times. I will probably never find another game like it. I apologize for the long video, as I myself do not like long videos, but I had to do this to get it out of the way for other games. See you next Let's Play!
