First time playing and game seems pretty boring?

[󠁳⁧⁧breadbug]

Lackluster gameplay, bad graphics, yawn inducing story. No offense, I would really like to enjoy this game but it's just not up to par.

[ʕノ•ᴥ•ʔノ[SULLY]]

This has been another action-packed episode of "Troll Gets Banned". Tune in next time for more knuckle-dragging wit. Same Bat-Time, same Bat-Channel.

The SNES version has a much more interesting and exciting script. The NDS / mobile / Steam translation is very dry, sterile, and dull.

The graphics also look better on other platforms, using a bilinear filter, when available. The image wasn't designed to be pixel-perfect, as CRT TVs had their own blurring effect that made things appear smoother. But the filter option graphics in Steam CT also look nothing like a CRT TV, and they look hideous. CT looks much better played on a CRT or on another platform that provides a decent filter (I like just a simple bilinear filter and think it's the most accurate to a CRT).

It's too bad the Steam version doesn't have the original SNES translation or a decent graphics filter. The Steam version is a very lackluster and sloppy release.

Yeah I noticed that too about the translation. The NPCs have less character with the new translations since the DS version, and the game loses a lot of its charm.

this is a Legit One of the Greatest game of all time but i bet you are one of the younger generation of Gamers maybe get a refund now or try it some other time if you are are really into JRPGs. I literally played this and finished more than 10 times on my lifetime on different platforms since SNES in 90s

[princesskiah]

What were you expecting? This game is from the 90s and you would've seen the photos before purchasing. Most people buy it for nostalgia and for the love of og square games.

If you're 30 you should be aware of the graphics. It was like this even when I was a kid, and I'm 10 years younger!

It's unfortunate the Steam version doesn't have the best translation and it DOES keep crashing but that's on Steam. The story's still good.

vac banned weeb, hahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahha

[JoeBob Riggs]

Seems like a very bad troll post. The game isn't for everyone. There has never been anything in human history that is for everyone. If you don't like it, refund it.
Playing something for the first time that is 27 years old and not liking it is pretty normal. It more or less seems like you are just asking for a fight by the third post. I can't stand Chrono Cross and people absolutely love it. Each their own.
Move on. This version of this game is a pretty bad port.

lol VAC banned!

No it doesn't. Ted Woolsey is basically the 4kids dub guy who changes Brocks onigiri to donuts. Also the censorship was absurdly strong back then before people dared to do more risque games that weren't E rated.

The SNES translation of Chrono Trigger is definitely better than the NDS version which gutted all the character and charm from the characters and dialogue. Additionally, the NDS translation of CT is extremely clunky and jarring, and all the characters speak as if they're the same personality, whereas in the SNES translation, they all have clear unique personalities. There's far more emotional intelligence in the SNES version of CT, which is much more coherent and vibrant in general.

The censorship in the original CT was extremely, extremely minimal and not in the least concerning anything that mattered ("cider" instead of "beer"... OK). There's nothing in the NDS version of CT that is risky. But there's a huge amount of charisma that's loss My impression is that you haven't played the SNES version of CT. Because, if you had, you'd know how not-reflective-of-reality your argument is.

Yeah your anti-japanese charm sucks. Ted Woolsey is a contentious figure and weirdos praise him because "lol spoony bard". It's so obnoxious and it's only because fans have their nostalgia blinders on, we didn't know what we had was bad

You aren't speaking for this fan or many others. There's nothing anti-Japanese about having an English translation that is actually coherent English and not wonky, sterile, and stilted phrasing that can't be called fluid or skillful English.

There's nothing about the SNES translation that is nostalgia. It's just more intelligent, clever, and emotionally rich. Plus, the fact that each character in the SNES version talks like their own character, rather than just like all the other characters, does a lot to convey the impression that they are actually different characters.

I recommend you play the SNES version so that you'll know what you've been missing out on. I think that you just don't know that what you've played, the NDS version, is bad.

[frowningmirror]

The SNES version is my first experience. It is by far the worst version, some of it was not his fault, he was given 30 days and the games coming to the US had to be seen as childrens toys, because censorship was far stronger with conservative groups getting television spot light. In FFVI he removed topics like teen pregnancy, suicide (even faked suicide), the mention of death at all... Chrono Trigger they took out a lot of occult reference (fiends are mystics) and a line about breastfeeding, can't even have alcohol be alcohol without it being soda pop.

Ted Woolsey changed things under his time constraints, sometimes he'd make a bad choice. A good example is wind slash being just called slash in the original Ted Woodsey version. In the game, NPCs tell you about how wind can cancel out the whirlwinds in town, when you fight the boss and the fiend children say they're the wind, you're supposed to remember this so you can use Wind Slash to cancel them out, but with "Slash" as a move it doesn't make much sense

The change of Grandleon/Grand-Dream to Masamune....is just strange even for Ted Woolsey. Its bizarre beyond belief, does the opposite of the Americanizing hes known for, and has caused a lot of nonsensical errors in the future translations.

Frog is the only one in 600 AD to talk like that, its very weird that people find this charming
