I went through a replay of this game about 3 months back. Was as good as I remember it.

How're you getting on? I've never played it.

Regular new game, I'm using Phoenix's FAQ on gamefaqs.com, and I'm at the cathedral just after you go back in time for the first time. Basically, early beginning.

...and zSNES in case anyone's wondering. I own the original game, but I like the higher resoulution and audio frequency.

It's awesome, you should play it.

 I thought Chrono Cross was a really good RPG.  I fact, I thought the game was better than many of the current JRPGs of the 15+ hours I played on it.  I never beated it sadly but I will start a new game after I beat CT

Ok, just started the first future portion of the game.


Anyway, did you guys know there was a Secret of Mana 2, which is supposedly better than the original Secret of Mana. Never came to america, but this dude actually spend several years of his life translating it.

It's called Seiken Densetsu 3.

Check out its wikipedia entry, and the gamefaqs reviews. It's got like a thousand guides on gamefaqs, based off the translation, and a lot of those guys tell me its the best SNES game I've never played.


I also scored:

Earthbound, which I never played. Reminds me of Fallout, lol.


and


Final Fantasy VI Advance. I have been wanting to check out the GBA port of FFVI, cause I heard they improved the visuals, script and modded the gameplay, and I've got to say, the game is looking pretty amazing from my first inspections of it. Definately beyond its SNES original version. Looks more like the characters are part of the background, and donsn't have that early SNES look where the numbers kinda look like they were added from an excel spreadsheet, but are more styalized. They look like they represent damage, rather than pen and paper role playing, that's the only way I can explain it. Much more modern.


Anyway, back to Chrono Trigger. I'll give you a personal screenshot, in a few, lol.

There ya go, fresh off the playing.

Better to just look at it through that link, lol.

Chrono is getting a little buck on those things heads, atm. Back to the game, lol. 

Oh man, good luck^^ and definitely have fun :3 I'd join you but I want to finish up FFVI before I forget where I'm supposed to go (again) and I have a bunch of other games on my list^^; but I'll be rooting for you and watching for progress reports :3

Edit: Oh yeah, you said you have Earthbound but haven't played it yet? I say you play that when you're all done with Chrono Trigger, awesome, awesome game.
