Minor editing issue, for some dumb reason I short keyed a zoom that lasts for a portion of the ep. You can see my gameplay and my commentary just not my cam . I have the same episode with the correction unlisted but found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6vbqmabjdOKZqc So Sorry!

[@MrMilesTV]

Also thank you all for the support so far :)

[@aura1654]

I just don't get it how your videos don't get more views. Your playthrough are always fun and interesting.

[@MrMilesTV]

Aww thank you! you're too kind! yeah I dunno, but i'm just grateful for any exposure :)

[@applepizza695]

Regarding your question at the end - I don't think you need to do any editing for the battles. Chrono Trigger is one of the best paced rpgs out there, since it doesn't require grinding, so the only editing that may be necessary is if there's lots of wandering around/getting stuck somewhere. but that's about it

[@MrMilesTV]

Yeah I like the pace of the game so far so it doesn't feel like I need to do that much, just like you said any running around or getting stuck I can edit over.

[@applepizza695]

You may have noticed this already, but some equipment can only be equipped by male characters, and others only by female. Also, the sight scope accessory only shows enemy HP, it doesn't affect statss. Weirdly enough, the berserker ring says it boosts attack, but it doesn't show it on the stats menu, which is a weird quirk that you'll notice with a couple more items in the game.

[@MrMilesTV]

I did not notice but, I just came from Legend of Dragoon that does the same thing.

[@BB-oi7rd]

I don't know if you picked up on it but Robo's theme is eerily similar to Rick Astley's 1987 hit "Never Gonna Give You Up." Commonly used in the Rick Roll troll meme. However, funnily enough the actual composer of Robo's theme claims to have never heard the song before and based Robo's theme off the of the 1993 J-pop dance song "EZ Do Dance" by TFR. All three have a very common bassline used in the 80s whichis supposedly why all three have a similar rhythm and beat.

[@MrMilesTV]

OMG you're right! its very similar haha love it.

[@applepizza695]

the bike race recorder is just there in case you like the bike minigame and wanna set personal scores. It's completely optional. One of Johnny's robots keeps track and gives you different rewards (boring stuff like healing items as far as I remember) with the only one that's worth getting, being a Magic Tab (or was it a Power tab? I dont remember tbh)

[@MrMilesTV]

oh thanks!

[@d.j.8059]

The Berserker Ring is an interesting item in that it's super good in a couple of areas on certain characters, but worse than useless and actually a net negative at other times. And, yes, this game has some of the best combat as far as 90s JRPGs in that you have to use the right skills at the right\ times or killing certain enemies becomes much more difficult or actually impossible. As the note for the Dragon Tank said, sometimes some lunatic just running up and slashing away with a sword again and again is the exact right thing to do....and other times it will basically do nothing.

[@MrMilesTV]

Yeah I'm going to just leave that item off for now. The boss fights so far have been real fun and engaging.

[@amandag1147]

In terms of items, what I feel from the game is that a lot are niche and can be useful in sometimes only a single place but you'll still want it for that single instance lol

[@MrMilesTV]

I'll just pick up items for specific things and then forget to use them at said thing haha

[@applepizza695]

yeaa, I'm the same when it comes to items like the berserker ring - I like having control of my character, even if it's just to use basic attacks anyway

[@MrMilesTV]

yeah I'm also still learning the game, and I think its important for me to not rely on an auto action too.

[@applepizza695]

singular heals are better in situations like that fight with the six robots. Just having Crono attack and Marle heal him up would have been faster, and also not wasting Crono's turn on healing her up.

[@MrMilesTV]

yeah good points! and thanks i'll try to fix those bad habits going forward.

[@jgamesv1375]

R.I.P Akira Toriyama :(

[@MrMilesTV]

I know it’s so sad! I guess it’s time to watch DB

[@jgamesv1375]

@@MrMilesTVYou can bet they will market all of his unpublished work. I heard that he drew all the DB characters when they were kids because that was the story he wanted to continue. That being said, it's well known he didn't like how the anime portrayed Goku and the evolution of the series. Be thankful you already bought Chrono Trigger because sometimes there is a price increase or the digital copy becomes unavailable for some reason when something like this happens.

[@Loner098]

Robo is pretty much the single best party member in terms of viability. While Robo only has weak (Shadow) magic attack and weak magic defense, Robo is still quite tanky and packs good damage. For the next part, make sure you have Crono, Marle, and Lucca out because you'll see why. Also, how often do you see a turn-based RPG with a time travel plot where you have to travel through different points in time to save the future?

[@MrMilesTV]

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic or not haha I haven’t played all that many RPGs to know! Haha but thanks for the Robo tips!

[@Loner098]

@MrMilesTV Fun Fact: During that scene where the R-series beat down Robo, you can actually move around, but if you try to get any closer to them, you'll be knocked back and Robo will tell you that they are his friends/brothers.

[@MrMilesTV]

omg i'll try to remember i can interact somewhat during those scenes.. that was a tough watch tbh.. even with it being so pixelated.

[@Loner098]

@@MrMilesTV Oh, and also, if you find a shopkeeper selling a sword that ups Crono's magic attack, you may want to buy it for a short period of time.

[@MrMilesTV]

ohhh interesting! thanks for the tip!
