A playable Schala for Chrono Trigger? Man, that'll upend Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross, if they'll exist at all.

Well, Chrono Trigger does well enough that there SHOULD be some kind of sequel. But yeah, OTL's Chrono Cross is probably completely butterflied. Whatever sequel emerges will be unrecognizable from OTL, at least in terms of plot.

Yeah but again people ITTL have been more experimetal, so maybe if we Dream Project 2/Chrono Trigger II would be completely original, again that is pretty long away in the future to see it.

And remind me...that leave a good [CENSORED] as some butterflies will flap hard inside Square....
 
I hope that Chrono Trigger still gets a squeal in this timeline.Do you think it would still be possable to make a squeal with a theme of parallel worlds.
 
Reading it over, I wonder if Chrono Trigger's audio is actually compressed streams instead of actual Redbook audio (playable on CD player). You have 50 recorded songs, good number of them have to be shared between the two discs, as well as 47 minutes of cutscenes.

Final Fantasy VII had 40+ minutes of cutscenes spread between three discs.

Man, I don't care what TTL's sequel's about as long as it isn't full of hypocritical environmental bullshit that makes absolutely no sense. Those fucking dwarves and fairies, ugh. Also, no Korcha. Good grief what the hell sort of thing was Korcha even.

UGH.

UGH.

I'd argue it's due to Masato Kato being pretty much the only one in charge of Cross's direction, while he was only one of several people who overlooked Trigger's development. Considering the Dream Devourer addition to the Trigger's DS version was all Kato's doing, along with the unhappy end to Guardia...
 
Great update, nice to see saturn price cut.

Major hazard sounds pretty interesting, I still need to play chrono trigger and this version sounds pretty interesting.

By the skin of their teeth, they make it to two discs. I imagine there's some compression but it's barely noticeable.

Pretty much this, remember from the quotes that Masato Kato is convinced to allow Schala to be saved by the other writers. As for a potential sequel plot, I actually have something in mind and it DOES involve parallel worlds and dimensional travel, no spoilers yet obviously. :)

Somethin help is differen tech, as the game is mostly 2D and generated by game engine, rather prerendered stuff like FFVII or Resident Evil, and they compressed pretty well, that will be handy for next system.

Again if we got Chrono 2, will be much different, at least Kato ego will be in check, again, that is when time come.

(Now noticing, Nobuteru Yuuki art in cross was awful, his Tenshi no Uta II and Seiken Dentestu 3 was far better, cross is just uncanny sometimes)

Well, there is 45 minutes of anime videos in the game, that would be the biggest memory hog but I still see it squeezing in at two discs.
 
So would TTL's Chrono Trigger look something like this? http://youtu.be/Gn_jXf7FHGA

Also, what is going on with the emulation scene ITTL? Will the 650 MB iso files be a deterrent to piracy in the age of dial-up?

I think that opening cutscene would stay but with a few changes (Schala would be added plus a couple more scenes). The graphics of the game itself though, no, it would look more like this:

(The basic battle system stays the same, just imagine characters, backgrounds, enemies, etc. with the same level of sprite detail and animation as OTL Legend of Mana.)

As for the emulation scene, vanilla SNES and Genesis would just be getting going (though with more popular Japanese games coming over and not as many great games on the SNES, there's not as much demand). Mega Charger ROMs could also be pretty easily made and downloaded, though I imagine Mega Charger emulation would be trickier than Genesis emulation. I imagine that it would become pretty easy to transfer SNES-CD games onto empty discs, so we might be seeing PHYSICAL piracy actually more than IOTL, while digital piracy of SNES-CD games has to wait for widespread broadband to become a thing.
 
Trying to get into a festive spirit as today is the 20th year anniversary of the saturnday announcement and I see people in here talking about the Saturn's price cut and the return of the Genesis does Nintendon't ads. I only feel slightly better . Also, I never played chrono chross is is really that bad?

E3 was 20th year ago already? Damn time got fast nowadays,xd. Did you buy a saturn at launch? here you would own one? which game you'll have for now? And nice our timeline is having that good effect,xd.

Chrono Cross, i've played but never finished(CD scrathed... and my pc have issue emulating anything post SNES.) but in macro level...for me and others...should have been his own IP, theme, art(not offense Nobuteru Yuuki but toriyama art was far better) and gameplay is far more different that trigger, so for me if was his own IP, would have sold less but being better recived.
