In this episode we take a look at some facts, secrets, and history of Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger is an RPG developed and published by Square for the Super Nintendo. Chrono Trigger‍'​s team included three designers that Square dubbed the "Dream Team" (Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, and Dragon Ball artist Akira Toriyama). Chrono Trigger was critically acclaimed across the board, and the Chrono series as a whole has sold over 5 million units.

It's interesting how little there is of Chrono Trigger aside from the original game. You'd think it'd have launched a massive franchise, but nope. Kinda makes it even more special.

[@RandalfElVikingo]

Chrono Cross is prove that is easy to fuck up the story when you're planning to expand the CT lore. They should've done a Final Fantasy move and create more games with different stories.

[@starmancrusader]

How come it didn’t become a big franchise like Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest?

[@mirotrevino9662]

@@starmancrusader Chrono Cross is partly to blame. The game was solid for what it was but it was a poor sequel to a game as well regarded as Chrono Trigger was. Not only that but the events that happen kind of makes some of the old characters look like cowards who let their kingdom be destroyed and straight up kills another og cast member without even telling you it did so in some people's opinions it trashes the legacy a little. Also Japanese companies have a weird way of thinking when it comes to older series. For example, the ds version of Trigger didn't meet expectations and neither did the mobile or pc releases of the game so they probably think there is little to no interest in a sequel or remake of the series. A good example of this kind of marketing can also be seen with Capcom and Darkstalkers Resurrection. Since it didn't sell well they decided to scrap any plans on a Darkstalkers 4. What they don't understand is that gamers mostly want fresh and new experiences and not just the same game rehashed 20 different times but oh well. Hopefully we get something someday

[@Pyrobaconstudios]

[@XiongGou]

tcrpgfan I think that is the beauty of having an opinion. I personally feel that Mitsuda’s body of work is much more memorable and has stuck with me a lot longer than any of the Zelda games. His work on Xenogears, Chrono Trigger/Cross simply put are some of my favorite game soundtracks ever. You can’t deny that he is extremely talented.

[@TheLowBrassDude]

Toriyama naming characters after condiments is similar to how many of the characters in Dragonball are named after vegetables.

[@FormlessBody]

The character concept designs also remind me a lot Dragonball character designs.

[@EbefrenRevo]

JammyGuyStudios Really ?? Sir you really have a great eye !!

[@terrrific7600]

+JammyGuyStudios u trollin

[@thesterndragoon9159]

Toriyama used WAY more than just vegetables in the DBZ characters' names. In fact, each subgroup of minor and major characters has their own category of name puns. Almost EVERY name in DBZ carries a pun or direct reference. SAIYAJIN: Vegetables Kakarrot - Carrot Raditz - Radish Nappa - <this is an asian cabbage> Vegeta - play on the word vegetable Tarble - The second half of the word "vegetable" Bardock - Burdock roots Broly - Broccoli Turles - rearrange katakana (japanese phonetics) for "lettuce" (Re-ta-su) NAMEKIANS: snails Katas - based on the first half of the Japanese word for snail Nail - sNAIL Muri/Murray - the second half of the Japanese word for snail Dende - half of a kid's Japanese slang word for snail Cargo - play on "escargot". GINYU FORCE: Dairy Ginyu - "Gyunyu" is Japanese for milk. Burter - Butter Guldo - comes from the katakana Japanese word for Yogurt (yo gu ru do) Jeice/Jeese - Cheese Recoome - messy anagram for "cream" FRIEZA FAMILY: Cold containers Freiza - Freezer Cooler - beverage container MAJIN WIZARDS AND BUU: Reference to the Disney Cinderella song "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo" and other "magic" words Bibidi Babidi Buu Dabura - abra caDABRA Puipui - Japanese nonsense incantation word "Chichin puipui"--basically "hocus pocus". BRIEFS FAMILY: undergarments Bulma - slang for "bloomers", a kind of old-fashioned women's underwear Trunks - boxer shorts Briefs - self explanatory Bra - self explanatory SHAPESHIFTERS: Tea Oolong - <this is a kind of tea> Puar - Puerrh, a kind of tea Hercule - his Japanese name is Mr. Satan and his daughter, Videl, is an anagram of "devil". SCHOOLKIDS (GREAT SAIYAMAN SAGA): School supplies Erasa - eraser Sharpner - sharpener And this is stil barely half of the name puns!

[@Darmani2MB]

Yeah. Shit got too serious during Android's saga to have any puns, well, except for Trunks

[@SamuraiMujuru]

Square needs to pull their heads out of their asses and make a new Chrono game.

[@DarthJoshReturns]

Because the last time they made a sequel, everybody unfairly compared it to the original.

[@hawkmanz1620]

Josh Sinclair Actually, a lot of people praise Chrono Cross and how awesome it is. So, it wouldn't be bad, but if you want a sequel there was a game called Crimson Echoes but it got shutdown right when it was at 97% complete. all of it is on KZbin though.

I'm so excited to play it but I have to wait for my seasonal job to end cause I'm balancing 2 jobs right now, I don't have much time for myself.

[@connorjennings5852]

The cease and desist for Resurrection is so sad. I never played Chrono Trigger because it was a bit before my time, but from what I've heard, and what was shown from Resurrection, I would have picked it up in a heartbeat. I suppose Square Enix had nothing to gain from it, but they had nothing to lose either. They should reward the creativity of their fans, like Valve did with the Black Mesa people

[@JazGalaxy]

+Connor Jennings They obviously had something to lose. 1) A remake hurts their ability to make a remake later. 2) It puts them in completion with some 3rd party who is using their own work against them. 3)People giving away free games hurts the game market as a whole. Whatever YOU do for a living, how do you respond when someone else gives it away for free? 4) As personal artwork, they are having someone else portray their vision and dream in a way they are not involved or in control of. (There's nothing stopping them from making some side quest where Frog becomes a mass murderer or Crono and Robo have weird sexual relations) 5) They lose the right to have a copyright on their work when they don't defend the copyright of their work.

[@Z7Games]

+JazGalaxy *1) A remake hurts their ability to make a remake later.* The fact that there is a game out there it doesnt change theyr ability at all, in fact it gives them free advertisement by making people aware of the game existence. *2) It puts them in completion with some 3rd party who is using their own work against them.* Again, theyr ability to make game DOESNT CHANGE at all if someone else does a HD version of one of theyr games, and this people is not presenting any kind of competition as they are clearly not in the market (the games was for free) *3)People giving away free games hurts the game market as a whole. Whatever YOU do for a living, how do you respond when someone else gives it away for free?* Are you joking? Look at League of Legends, Dota, Team Fortress, they do nothing but make the videogame market a way better economy by making the game accesible by default and only charging people if they want speciall features, i dont say that this should be the norm for every game, but it doesnt hurt theyr oposition at all. *4) As personal artwork, they are having someone else portray their vision and dream in a way they are not involved or in control of. (There's nothing stopping them from making some side quest where Frog becomes a mass murderer or Crono and Robo have weird sexual relations)* The Chrono Resurrection was just an HD Remake, they even said it will be little to no changes, and even if they did change some things, that will NOT hurt the charachters or franchise at all, there is like a billion fanmade Mario games and yet it doesnt hurt Mario at all as a charachter because people have a brain that can diferentiate between original and fanmade. *5) They lose the right to have a copyright on their work when they don't defend the copyright of their work.* They dont lose any right of anything, if the game goes of and they dont notice they can reclaim whenever they want. Please inform yourself about marketing/laws and the Chrono Resurection game, before posting untrue claims about it. Like +Connor Jennings said, look at companies like Valve, who instead of going against theyr own fans, they congratulate them, the only think that inspires Square Enix to people like me its to NOT buy theyr Chrono Remake, as i dont think they deserve the love that the fans give them, when they act like childs.

[@FluxSonic]

+Connor Jennings I thought Resurrection was not an actual remake, and just a test for the engine the developers were making. They were using the Chrono IP to advertise and build hype around their engine, which is why Square came down on it.

[@00half]

+Z7Games You do realize that everything you stated is wrong right? Everything Jaz said is true, with the exception of his last point maybe, if they came out with an HD remake of CT after Resurrection everyone would be like, "Why would I pay money for that when this one is for free?" And don't even try to pretend that's not how people think, because it is, thus taking away possible money they could've earned themselves. The reason why Mario isn't affected is because there are so many Mario games out there, that everyone has a good idea of who Mario is, we've only seen one game that actually has all of the Chrono Trigger characters in it. Also giving away free games does hurt the market.....in a sense. Sure there are games like LoL that charge people if they want certain things, but this game could in no way charge anyone for anything, it would've been a completely free game, and it also goes back to my first point of in the end it would hurt SE's sales if they ever decided to do the same thing. Square has become super protective of this franchise, and I think that's because it's their sacred baby, and they won't allow anyone to touch it unless they are the ones making it. A lot of people hold this game in very high regards, and if anything was put out associated with Chrono Trigger that was terrible, it might not sway anyone who has played the original, but for people wanting to see what this game is all about, it might put a nasty taste in their mouth thus making the whole franchise unappealing to them stopping any possibility of them going back and trying the original. I am super sad that this remake never came to fruition, but I can also see why Square did what they did, however I do believe they should've hired those guys on to do an official release sometime later....which will probably never happen either, but one can hope.

[@tssf]

+Connor Jennings No one on the team blames Square Enix for what they did. We were all humble, in fact a bit proud that we gained enough traction to have them shut us down! It was a bit unbelievable. Still, was a very fun project to work on. It was still great seeing how much traffic came from the square enix japanese domain on our website, though when the trailer launched.

[@steve9094]

This blew me away when it came out. The presentation was gorgeously refined. From the first moment that Chrono's mom opened his bedroom curtains to let the light in, I knew it was something special. It's amazing that it still holds up today, unlike dated stuff like FF7. Seriously timeless.

[@garrus125]

I always loved how distinctly "Toriyama" all the characters are.

[@makhyusnimakhyusni401]

This is the first game Made by Square and Enix before they merged

[@randocalzonian4756]

I'm going to have to vote for the Tales series. I've only ever play Tales of Phantasia, but I still have very fond memories of it from long ago. Man, I need to replay that sometime...I'll be right back.

[@highking1328]

did you know tales of series

[@DeathByHentai]

Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu leaving Square-Enix is the greatest tragedy to have ever faced the JRPG genre. It makes me unbelievably sad to think about what games we, the players and thus the world have missed out on because of those unfortunate events.

[@Romess1]

Not to mention the false hope and promise of Mistwalker which was supposed to incarnate their spirit but only sparked a line of mostly forgettable Japan only mobile games. I've been sad for their departures but also mostly thankful that their genius spirits saturated us with so many classic titles. We were kinda spoiled to begin with I guess. Same as with Studio Alex and the Lunar series.

[@LethalBubbles]

Chrono Trigger: *has a literal motif of light and darkness, from the magic system to the use of lighting in the background designs* ProJared: "a balance of dark and more lighthearted story elements!" ... well yeah it does

[@JamesEK801]

I really wish they'd make another Chrono game. While I felt like Chrono Cross had incredibly beautiful graphics (and I just played it a year or two ago), I felt like its real downfall was its ridiculously huge cast of characters. Like I only really felt a connection to Serge and Kid. Someday I'll probably go back and finish it off, but for now, I think I'm fine with letting it sit unfinished on my shelf.

[@nintendosega100]

Do the Tales Of Series!

[@MarcusRaven]

Loved this video! One of my all time favorite games. I would love to do VO for an episode! Do you guys take applications? ^_^

[@gxsliver]

I am a big tales fan and would love to see an episode done on that series

[@MavHunter20XX]

Too many finaly fantasys, not enough Chronos....I'd like to see the DBZ artwork back as well.

[@NeomDrac]

MavHunter20XX well for a final fantasy they really over extended the final part

[@WCCXtra]

Toriyama for character design and Mitsuda for the soundtrack are absolute musts. As much as I'd love a proper sequel, I fear Square wouldn't do it justice.

[@RhythmGrizz]

MavHunter20XX play Dragon Quest

[@bigbootay5035]

Spit Dragon naw. I died when they let Nomura do more than just his shitty artwork

[@nathanbyberg]

Bring Chrono Trigger to the Switch!

[@mattwo7]

1:07 I like how Nobuo is basically a floating head with arms. Mostly because he only really does sound-related stuff.

[@anon7596]

oh man that music...... instant goosebumps all over!

[@lostn65]

This game was Square during it's glory days. It's a real shame what they've become now though. The western studios they acquired make much better games than what's left at Square Enix. Those western studios are the only thing keeping Square relevant these days.

[@albinobob14]

Tell that to FFXII and FFXIV, the KH series, Bravely series, and the new Dragon Quest entries. :/

[@benjamimcarvalho0]

Two words: Bravely Default.

[@azuritereaction]

+Benjamim Carvalho Hey, I was actually on the QA & English localization team for the English version of the game, spending months poring over every single line in the game, whether it be battle, dialogue, backstory, or anything else in between. In doing so, I found out a wide number of practically unknown secrets and interesting trivia about the game, enough to fill up multiple videos without breaking my NDA on the game. I'd love to provide DYKG with the trivia, so if you want, let them know you'd want me to supply them a bunch of obscure trivia about the game!

[@wizardif]

+azuritereaction BULLSHIT

[@azuritereaction]

+WizardIF lmao not bullshit, I can provide proof easily if you want it

[@ryanamberger]

Did You Know Gaming: River City Ransom! Please?!?

[@ryanamberger]

Featuring me of course 😎

[@notoriousbigboss]

+Ryan Amberger No

[@ryanamberger]

+Julian Bustillos wow I didn't know you were a content creator for this channel. Dipshit McGee.

[@notoriousbigboss]

And I didn't know you were a 12 year old

[@thetruebause3122]

+Julian Bustillos 12 year olds get such a bad rap. I know a lot of smart, mature 12 year olds. But their age is forever linked to immaturity, blatant idiocy and John Cena. Agecism!!!

[@janambro8919]

Didyouknowgaming? your videos make wanna play these classic games that i had never the chance to enjoy

[@ivanllanes3607]

Soiso, Mayone and Binegaa! Oh my God! That made my afternoon. That right there is the naming hand of Toriyama.

[@OtaGamerKorin]

Could you maybe do an episode on Lab Zero's new game Indivisible? It's a 2D hand-drawn RPG they're kickstarting right now. Ooo, or you could do an episode on Skullgirls! I'd love to see the whole history of how it was made.

[@linkyboy123]

+OtaGamerKorin Very much in support of this!

[@brownbaggingpodcast1691]

+OtaGamerKorin I'm pretty sure there is so much to say about Indivisible and Skull Girls because there is so many characters and culture and lore. It would also help the Indivisible campaign a lot!

[@PsychoticBeverage]

+OtaGamerKorin That'd be cool!

[@Andrew-yu5do]

+OtaGamerKorin There is so many characters and culture behind this there would so much to talk about. Oh that Skullgirls idea is also good. Just recently played that and even the colors are different people from other media. There would be so much to talk about!

[@guterman500]

+OtaGamerKorin I'm pretty sure there is a lot about the development of Skullgirls that people can talk about. Hell even the Indivisible campaign has already had some interesting things to talk about.

[@Sonicserge]

do chrono cross one day plz I like it way more than trigger

[@liateRdnalkcoB]

I honestly never had the chance to properly play through Chrono Trigger (I have vague memories of the game, but I doubt I played it fully). However, I played Chrono Cross to hell and back. It was one of my most memorable games for its time, and I definitely would love to see a full video on the tidbits about it. I had so much fun in it.

[@enraversadi2903]

Never played it.

[@DAVE477]

my favorite game of all time :)

[@DJGodaryD86]

+MegaScience - Chrono Cross is huge, lots of dialog, tons of characters, different paths and by it replay value. It would be an interesting subject for a video. I as well played Chrono Trigger, it was among the first games that really brought me into actual gaming since everything before that was not enough interesting for me. I played it through once and that is it, I don't remember much about it but Chrono Cross was something I played through and talked about with friends numerous times. For me personally it's the best game ever.

[@bossmanham]

+Sonicserge It's bigger, but the fact that they only made it tangentially related to the first one is bothersome to a lot of us Trigger fans. I can appreciate it in its own right, but I really wanted to know how the original crew was doing. And I know the end of the game reverses it, but killing off Lucca off screen is just dumb.

[@Slick76jakers]

My vote is for the tales series. I'd love to learn more about the franchise!

[@pippo17173]

I just started playing this game and need go back to it. Seems like it gets only better as it goes on.

[@BurninatorXIII]

Okay, wait. Is it "Mar-ley" or "Marl" for Marle? I always said "Marl"...

[@N3rd_House]

+GalaxyUpper--G I always said "Marl" too. Just sounds better.

[@Mellion555]

+GalaxyUpper--G I always pronounced it Marl as a kid, but then I made a friend named Marle and she pronounces it Mar-Lee. So now I say it Mar-Lee too. I think it's one of those preference things, like you can say either or.

[@JimPanzeeEsq]

I always said Marl & Majus, like Mage-Us *shrugs*

[@ThePondus430]

english pronounciations dude there is no correct one... i thought it is marl-ay before...

[@Mellion555]

jimu _ Magus' pronunciation is probably even more grey: it could be Mage-Us, Mag-Gus, May-Gus, May-Jus... These old-school games and their ambiguous names... XD

[@feminazi2542]

I dont know shit about chrono trigger other than that it has a sick soundtrack and i really want to play it, can i play it with my 3DS?

[@ShurikenMight]

Cyndicl yeah u can

[@feminazi2542]

Shuriken Might good

[@Jesse9Lee]

the ds version is good because they added more things to the game

[@NeomDrac]

Jesse Lee anime cutscenes *cough cough*

[@joelnogueira7692]

Deluxxe So, have you played it already?

[@daltonriser1125]

that screen where you are loked in the time travelling sreen i want that as my scree saver

[@F3nres]

oh man the nostalgia trip you just took me on.

[@damnyousalazar]

Ayla's original design straight up looks like Android 18 lol. I like her final look more. Not only does it set her apart from 18 but her hair looks more natural/wild.

[@symir547]

DYKG Secret of Mana

[@CaitSith592]

Love to see a video on the Tales of series.

[@SkaiCyan]

I've only been asking for a Did You Know: Tales since this channel started. :S

[@petero5931]

Tales of series PLEASE!!!!!!

[@Linkmaster2010]

"Don't worry, there's no spoilers" Except the part where he has a huge spoiler warning and spoils the ending

[@Jaydove2387]

Only one of thirteen endings

[@rockit3817]

Awesome been wanting to see this for a while!

[@ZackRToler]

Well I finally went out and got Chrono Trigger and started playing it. Wish I got this on my SNES when I was a kid

[@dukespubber741]

Tales of Series, please.

[@civilchicken5407]

Bravely Default FTW!

[@DAVE477]

yea :)

[@GanRPG]

The Tales of series is dead anyway and wasn't even that good.

[@Yazuka83]

I'd love to see you do one on the Tales of series.

[@luismartins3785]

WOW ! Thank you for the Chrono Trigger Resurrection WINK in your video, made me smile : ) Cheers !

[@Apophis324]

Ah, so Chrono is gonna be in Sm4sh next, huh?

[@kungfuhusler]

+Apophis324 I wish! lol! him and his party as part of his move set.

[@slythyis]

+Apophis324 there are a few possibilities. Chrono, Bayonetta, Shovel Knight, Shantae, and Wonder Red are all in the running, as I understand it. Two protag's from Platinum games in there.

[@Apophis324]

+Elijah Jacobs Is Sm4sh really ready for voluptious women like Shantae and Bayonetta? I mean... Not only are they well curved, they're also... stylishly underdressed, so to speak. I'd love to have Shantae as part of the team, but I think Nintendo is gonna get a lot of complaints from women who don't know their cultures, who only see a cute, yet sexy, hip swaying ehm... well... "pleasure lady"... As for Shovel Knight, I know he's gonna be in there, I just don't think Nintendo should... It's not a Nintendo Exclusive game and doesn't Nintendo have more than enough third party characters running already? Wonder Red.. Now that is indeed a wiser idea.

[@Apophis324]

+kungfuhustler Oooh, fun!!

[@slythyis]

+Apophis324 Well, the shovel knight amiibo has the ability to function with smash, it just doesn't do anything yet. Which would obviously imply that it will be for his future character. However, I think they'll release a different one for smash regardless. As far as the ladies go, Pelutena has pole-dancing taunt and have you seen zero suit samus? There's already been controversy over sextualization in that game, and Nintendo clearly doesn't care what those people think.

[@n0isyturtle]

2:12 it's pronounced *_OLD_* Man

[@DovaSqueakiinsGaming]

+noisyturtle he said it right....i dont see how you can mess that up.

[@n0isyturtle]

Xanderstrife No, you're not listening. It's pronounced _Old_ Man. Not Old Man. _OLD_ Man

[@DovaSqueakiinsGaming]

noisyturtle i dont care if its more capital....the way you say it doesnt matter. Get over yourself.

[@n0isyturtle]

Xanderstrife You'll never rescue the princess with that attitude.

[@thatguyiknewinrwanda342]

+noisyturtle No, I'm his brother, *old* man.

[@tvheadd]

shout out to Luis the editor - great job, bro!

[@cooltrainergamer]

Please do an episode on the Tales series please!

[@ImDemonAlchemist]

So, Ayla originally looked almost exactly the same as Android 18. Toriyama sure reuses designs a lot.

[@AFKei]

[looks at comments] Uh...I'm gonna do as the video says and vote for what we want to see next and be on my way... [votes Tales of Series]

[@AM-el4iv]

The music developer said he heard the themes of the game in dreams? Yea, he might've been Rick Rolled in a dream because that's the theme of Robo.

[@AMVMaker26]

chrono cross and trigger are two my all time fav games
