Can The Future Be Saved? The Lore of CHRONO TRIGGER! (pt. 1)

[@dudepool7530]

I used this game to teach my little cousin how to read, after his school failed him. Started off not being able to read the word "was". By the time the phrase "space-time continuum" popped up, he had no problem. It all started when he was watching me play and said "my big brother plays better than you!" "Who do you think taught him?" I played the game so much as a kid, I found all endings unintentionally. Wasn't until my 5th playthrough that I realized what was going on with that 😂

[@marklastes312]

Glenn is my favorite character of all time. He overcame his fears, his insecurities and believed again. Frog is a fantastic member of the party, so strong and powerful. That scene where he splits the mountain is amazing..

[@dudepool7530]

And how about the fact that time travel, and futuristic technology were no big deal for him. "Oh, you came from the future? Cool story." "A walking, talking, thinking machine? So, as I was saying..." Most medieval time travel involves the person from the past having some sort of breakdown, even for a moment.

[@SECONDQUEST]

Glenn is such a boss. Definitely one of my favorites. He's just a chill dude who, with a little nudging, has an insatiable drive for what he believes is right.

[@DM_Dad]

Especially with that music!

[@MsKeirasha]

@@DM_Dad His dong is my absolute favorite❤️

[@Maniac_987]

Magus is my favorite and the real main character as far as I’m concerned. Magus lost everything when he was a young child. His home, his family, his whole world. His own mother tried to kill him as an adult though she did it know the “prophet” was her own son. He is more complex than just the evil bad guy. He actually is not evil. He is a just a talented and tormented black magician with his heart set on getting revenge on Lavos for destroying his family and home. When you complete the game with him as the party leader, you kill your own evil mother who tries to kill you and get the revenge. However, his sister could not be saved, unfortunately.

[@Jopeth23]

Fun Fact: Ozzie, Slash, and Flea (named after rock legends) is named in the Japanese version as Soyso, Binega, and Mayone. Very Akira Toriyama, right? :D

[@DeadCatX2]

Soy Sauce, Vinegar, and Mayonnaise XD

[@enomiellanidrac9137]

Certainly certainly sounds like something he would do, tough he is not the only Japanese Manga writer to toss weird non Japanese word as name in his work he probably does it more than any other.

[@dudepool7530]

I met Akira Toriyama once. When I unlocked the secret ending on SNES back in the day 😂

[@TheGreatPizzaMasterpiece]

I like to see Ozzie as Ossman of the Ottoman Turks

[@plurinerdideas]

RIP Akira Toriyama

[@TuxedoMagnum]

This is my favorite RPG of all time, and my wife's, too. Thank you for covering this! The lore of that game is rich, and the pacing of the game is very tight. Already looking forward to part two!

[@RedRoninGM]

May I say that your storytelling skills are amazing?! That game, since 1995, remains one of the best RPGs of all-time! I really hope to see one day a remake of the full series: Trigger, Cross (yes, it is a sequel), and the cancelled project, Chrono Break.

[@SiliconSlyWolf]

I like how the lore of your video is clearly based in part on the combat events of a specific play through

[@Yorabasura]

SUPER excited for your take on this series! Your talent for telling stories is unreal.

[@JackJohnR]

Chrono Trigger has some best time travel loops!!

[@Gabes_Game_Cave]

Lavos was such a great villain. The idea of these parasitic monsters traveling the universe devouring worlds is just awful and terrifying.

[@MrTalonias]

Clocking into work and this comes up on my recommended? Today is gonna start off great! This is one of my favorite games of all time and the amount of story and character development in it is amazing! LET'S DO THIS!

[@xPhoenixAshx]

Hello. I watched part two before watching part one. Thank you for this Chrono Series. You captures the spirit of it well and provided a wholesome week of content for me in these two videos. At a time in my life when I am plagued by chronic pain from disabling injury, you have provided comfort and motivation at once with this. One of the best things I like is that you assert some subtle things that is not explicit in the game, but could be implied (and is applied wisely) to the situation. I don’t have an specific example, but it was common enough that you should understand what I mean. Thank you again.

[@ericcalm9924]

I see Corno has made it into your playthrough 😂

[@judahtownsend2195]

Working that Raziel quote into your narration was 🤌🏿🤌🏿🤌🏿

[@vegaskullkid4503]

Aye! New lore that, based on the title, would be utterly confusing if I tried to understand it myself. Also gets even more points for anime cutscenes which I am almost certain were drawn be Akira Toriyama

[@Jopeth23]

It's Akira Toriyama alright. The character designs here are clearly derivatives of those in Dragonball Z, characters looking similar to Son Goku, Trunks, Bulma, and even Piccolo.

[@federicomostert1307]

I don't post often but your channel of combining not only lore but how the lore interacts with the games story aided by your own skill as a storyteller are amazing! I get excited everytime you drop a new video.

[@someguy4844]

"History abhors a paradox" when of the best character quotes ever

[@justincrowley8787]

I just thought of something that would be cool. Being able to change out the doll for Chrono during Luca's demo. And instead ending up with Chrono being at early game level and needing to prepare for Lavos.

[@dudepool7530]

I dunno about the DS version, but you can run up on Lavos almost right off the bat. If you go to the other teleporter pod, not the one you're supposed to get on, there is a shiny spot, as if there were an item. When you grab it, you're teleported straight to the endgame. Don't even have to break through the shell. It's awesome for new game +. No one knows you saved the world 😂

[@nickyboi4237]

Finally me and my Dad's favorite RPG! Thank you so much Mrs Lady Of Lore, keep up the amazing work!!! (And thank you again for doing this game because it's such a big part of me and my dad bonding when he was home from work)

[@kode-man23]

Absolute GOATed game. I'm so happy that I finally took the time to play it. I obviously had massive expectations given it's reputation, but it more than exceeded them.

[@Gruntbucket]

Oh yes! Played this one forever ago... But never fully understood it

[@Flareboxx]

I love your lore videos! I'm adding this to my watch later playlist since i haven't played Chrono Trigger yet, but it's in my backlog! I'm glad I have this to look forward to after I finish it 😃

[@SilortheBlade]

One of my top 5 games of all time. I remember buying this back at launch when I was 19. I've played it a dozen times or more since. Thank you for this wonderful retelling.

[@arglebargle42]

Back when 'turn based combat' wasn't a dirty word. Thanks Tiptoe for the nostalgia trip, and your exceptional delivery.

[@wardstyle9184]

Loved the ATB system with the bar.

[@jasondolph2785]

Lots of good turn based games still, just indie titles.

[@arglebargle42]

@@jasondolph2785 True and I have been grooving on Aetheris and Caves of Lore but I cannot ever forgive or forget what Square did to my beloved FF7. Final Fantasy was always meant to be turn based, and ATB was the ultimate form of this. Can you tell I'm really effing bitter?

[@ShadowProject01]

@@arglebargle42that is kind of not true. Ff has been moving toward action based for years. I grew up playing 6 and every entry same as you (I assume if not longer) but staying stagnant in an ever changing industry is a recipe for falling into obscurity. Every major FF entry has always brought something new to the table. They still make turned based games, and no disrespect to turned based aficionados, you are not the majority of ff players. The system doesn’t appeal to the majority and that’s just the truth of it. It Square’s flagship franchise is gonna stay afloat it has to innovate and change. I am sure they will eventually move on from action based and do whatever is in vogue when the time comes. And this same argument will repeat with another generation. Can we try and appreciate the product’s achievements and not hold on to nostalgia? Even if you decide it’s not for you can we not ruin it for those of us that actually like what they’ve done?

[@Ashamanknight]

[@VerianMinaith]

I really forgot this one so thanks for the trip down memory lane. I hesitate to say but there were some good stories on the SNES. I would love your telling of Final Fantasy 3/6 and maybe Paladin's Quest. Nostalgia almost certainly flavors them but they still have a place in my memories. Thanks for the content as always.

[@eddiegesch6299]

I finally got the good ending to chrono cross where you save schala.

[@Jish-Abides]

[@altgus6501]

My first RPG ever! I am so happy its getting some attention on youtube again

[@reaching4zen13]

Love your lore videos keep up the good work ❤️

[@Kodalith]

This game is a classic for a reason. That reason is the narrative. It's utterly breathtaking. So glad to see it get coverage of this caliber. If you dig this, try Final Fantasy VI.

[@FalenDragmire]

An interesting little factoid that most people either didn't realize (because the original English translation on the SNES wasn't clear about this) or because it was glossed over with just a throwaway line (as it is in the modern English translation) is that even back in the day when Frog was still human and only known as Glenn, he was still the better swordsman. Out of the two of them, Glenn and Cyrus, Glenn was actually the better fighter but Glenn didn't have tenacity and charisma that Cyrus had in order to be a knight and hero.

[@fetteredfey]

Yes!! I can't wait to listen to it. One of my favorites,I love your lore videos 😁🖤🖤

[@Oogieeiko]

Love your work! You did say Fire Lord instead of Fiend Lord at the bridge section, which made me laugh. Avatar kribbed plot points from Chrono Trigger!

[@dudepool7530]

Actually, back in the day on SNES, Magus was not called the "Fiend Lord". Watching this video, I'm noticing a lot of differences between DS and SNES. Even the combat system interface is totally different.

[@JJbro3]

It would be amazing if they remake Chrono Trigger with the same combat system and updated graphics as the FF VII (2020) remake

[@Jopeth23]

I would prefer it as cel-shaded 3D graphics to maintain the signature Akira Toriyama design of the characters.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

No.

[@nessadvantage9447]

Not every game needs to be a copy paste of kingdom hearts. I'd rather they leave chrono trigger alone than give it the ff7 remake treatment.

[@reaper_panda994]

Chrono trigger and Chrono cross are some of my favorite games

[@TerryB01]

Oh cool Chrono Trigger. Never played it so this lore video will help me finally get what the plot is about. Thanks.

This series, coupled with Josh Strife's latest video on Chrono Trigger, might be the best 6-months-too-early birthday gift I've ever received.

Funny you saying that. “The game's development team included three designers that Square dubbed the "Dream Team": Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Square's Final Fantasy series; Yuji Horii, creator of Enix's Dragon Quest series; and Akira Toriyama, character designer of Dragon Quest and author of the Dragon Ball manga series” Source Wikipedia.

[@RaxiazRedux]

chrono trigger is one of those games that a remake just would do a disservice to it i think.

[@SonJazrin]

I always wondered what happened to the fiends after 1000 AD. I'm guessing they all died off? Since they don't exist in any other time period after that.

[@andersgemeint498]

Can someone tell from which of the various releases of the game the more modern looking animations are from? They look pretty good and I would love to play the game with this animations again. Any help would be appreciated.

[@Viryl_TV]

The cutscenes? I believe the Nintendo DS, PlayStation 1 and Steam versions have the cutscenes. Her lore video was completely from the Steam version though.

[@dudepool7530]

Okay, this is weird. I've never played the DS version of this. It's like seeing an alternate dimension version of the game. The graphics. "Fiend lord", the text boxes, even the location of the health bars. Not gunna lie, the SNES version looks way cleaner.
