A Matter of Time

Now that I've finished Final Fantasy IV DS, I've started in on Chrono Trigger DS. Whereas FF4 DS would probably be classified as a remake, due the the redone graphics and all that, Chrono Trigger DS is more of a port. The sound and graphics are the same and really the only thing that's noticably different is that the UI has been updated to make use of the DS' unique features. The translation does also seem to have gotten a bit of polishing, but the only noticable thing (though I've not played Chrono Trigger in a while) is that Magus is now referred to more generically as the "Fiendlord" in the early parts of the game.

I plan to do a tongue-in-cheek style summary the way I have with the Final Fantasy series so I'll leave most of my comments on Chrono Trigger in general to whenever that gets posted. For now, it suffices to say that, even though I haven't gotten very far yet, I've already got a healthy dose of nostalgia and am remembering how much I love the game. It was an awesome game when it was first released and it's still awesome now.

Also, for this playthrough, I have named Crono "Lulz" and so far the name choice is giving me many lulz.
