What is the best way to play Chrono Trigger?

585 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

A suggetion came in from /u/hybridfrost to create a sticky community post detailing the best way to play Chrono Trigger.

Myself, I always just play the SNES version on my PC with any random controller. This is the way I discovered the game and it will forever be the "authentic" way for me to play. What more, is I enable a smoothing filter to make the game look less pixellated -- heresy, I know.

My way of playing the game is not neccesarily the best, and there may be a lot of ways to play Chrono Trigger which I never even considered.

I would love to hear your suggestions on what information to include in a sticky post about the various ways to play Chrono Trigger -- emulators, platforms, game releases, game settings, etc.

By the way -- I am amazed at how big this community has grown! Back when I created this community, I just wanted a simple way for me to access a few OST covers and some fanart so it would be archived somewhere instead of getting lost. I was impressed when the community grew to 1k members, and now it's over 17k. This truly shows that CT is a masterpiece of a game that transcends beyond it's initial inception as a 2d jRPG of the 90's era. Few games have such strong of a following several decades after creation. Rock on :)

Edit: this post will be the sticky now until someone makes anything better and more comprehensive.

Hello everybody! It’s me Bubbly, your favorite wtf/blue Yoshi with another chrono trigger video.
Finally…the lost sanctum quests are over (I think, I hope). Loved the surprise at the top of the tower! And I feel so powerful and ready to take my revenge in the Black omen!
Kinda genius way to make you grind without you noticing and also the equipment op!
Anyways! Thank you and see ya next week <3

Help with the Steam Version

3 Upvotes

Hey, hope y'all are doing great! Basically I've been trying to replay the game through this version, because I'm planning to do a video about the game and I wanted to use this version, mostly because of the widescreen support. I've also installed some mods, CTExt and Pixel Demaster, and ReShade.

The game ran fine for quite a while, aside from a rare visual bug where some graphics would be "missing" or "misplaced", like the walls of Guardia Castle.

(Here's how it looks when it happens).

But as soon as I got to prison after the Trial, the game went haywire. Now when I walk through any door to the next area, it's basically a coin flip if it'll crash or not. It won't even give an error, it's literally: Move through a door > Fades to black > Game stops responding > Game closes to desktop.

I searched through a lot of other Reddit posts and so far here's what I tried, but the crashing wasn't fixed:

  • Verifying game files;
  • Uninstalling and reinstalling (a clean install without any mods);
  • Changed compatibility to Windows 8;
  • Installed all Visual C++ versions in the Steam folder (2005-2022);
  • Disabled Full Screen optimizations;
  • Disabled Steam Overlay;
  • Disabled Steam Input;
  • Disabled RTSS Overlay;
  • Disabled ReShade;

Additional info about my PC (don't know if it's relevant): RX 7600, Ryzen 5 5500, 16GB DDR4 3200MHz, 960GB SSD SATA.

I don't mind switching to the SNES or DS version, but I'd rather use this one for recording purposes. Does anyone know of any fix I haven't tried? Any help would be appreciated!

Four hours to color. Artist said it will look even better a month and a half from now

Edit: Because folks asked and I got approval from the artist, this was done by Levon at Five star tattoo.

Crono — Finally finished the hero of my Chrono Trigger collection!

Thumbnail

1.1k Upvotes

After Frog, Robo, Ayla, Lucca, Magus and Marle, I finally found some time this week to finish Crono.

Since I started this project, I knew he had to be one of the pieces I spent the most time on. Chrono Trigger has been one of my favorite games for a very long time, so getting the main character right felt especially important.

Everything was resin printed and painted by hand. For this one I wanted to push the base a little further too, adding grass and the lightning effects around him to give the whole piece more energy and make it feel closer to an actual battle scene.

I also decided to give him the Crimson Blade instead of the Rainbow. I know the Rainbow is the iconic endgame choice, but visually I liked the Crimson Blade much more on the figure, especially with the red hair and the warmer tones of the sword.

The lightning was probably my favorite experiment on this one. Under UV/blue light it reacts very strongly and completely changes the look of the piece.

Coming from a digital art background, this whole collection has been a huge exercise in learning traditional painting, materials, textures and finishing techniques, and Crono was definitely one of the figures I was most excited to finally see completed.

Now seeing the whole group together is getting dangerously close to the image I had in my head when I started this project.

And a big thank you to everyone who has been following this project from the beginning, commenting, giving feedback, and encouraging me with each new character. It’s been really motivating to share the progress here and see people enjoying the collection as it slowly comes together. I truly appreciate all the support.

Hope you guys like him! Would love to hear what you think.

I want to play through Chrono trigger. I have access to the Super Nintendo version, the 3DS version, the PS1 version and the Android version. Which one should I use for my playthrough? Apologies if this is a question that has been beaten to death in this group.

Selling concert ticket to NYC Chrono Trigger concert

--claimed!--

Hi all,

Please remove if selling is not allowed. Due to some last minute travel plans, I no longer can make the concert in NYC on 10/10. I'm really, really bummed about it, but I would like to post this here to sell it so some one else can enjoy the concert.

The seat is section 302 Row A, Seat 14, kind of towards the back on the hall but still should be a good seat! The original price was around $127, but I'm willing to sell it for a little more than half the cost, $70. Let me know if you are interested and I'll DM you!

Thanks!

Hello there! The long and short of this post is that due to circumstances, I can no longer attend the Chrono Trigger Symphony Concert in Chicago on October 14th. I’m selling these tickets for $70 each, $20 less than what they were bought for. If interested, DM me and we can talk. Check the comments to see if one or both have already been sold. If there’s no comment from me saying they’re sold, they’re still available. Thank you!

I still had a lot of things to figure out on this one, it was clipping even at low volumes, too muddy and busy, and I wasn't completely happy with the arrangement. But hopefully some of you can enjoy the result
