I take it you played the DS version and saw the ret-con?

[Anonymous No.5641141]

No I played the original version (SNES) where his golem teleports him into another dimension

I can't honestly think of a single worse way they could have done it. What the FUCK were they thinking.

IIRC, it was all because in the extended ending of the PSX version, the unknown attacker of Guardia castle used a cape. That was it. A cape. And it was only a shadow.

What got changed? I'm never going to play through either version.

There are exclusive dungeons.
Dalton is revealed to be the one behind the fall fo Guardia.
Magil (Chrono Cross) is revealed to be that version of Magus that first fights Lavos (back when he was still disguised as "Prophet"). He suffers from amnesia.

*I mean Guile, not Magil. Magil is the original Magus, that only appears in Radical Dreamers (SNES text adventure).

In Chrono Trigger, I played a group of time traveling heroes that eventually became so strong that they could punch a space god on the face and kill it. Didn't matter what I was fighting or what I was hitting, robots or T-Rex's, I took them apart with my bare hands or with magics so great they cooked everything on the screen. My party literally used time travel to bring another character back to life. Everyone went back to their lives as total badasses.

Then I played the sequel, Chrono Cross. I was super hyped.

>"Remember all your beloved characters from the first game? Remember how they mastered time, death, and magic? Aren't you excited to hear the epilogue to what your invincible old school party did after Chrono Trigger ended? "
>"They all died like pussies. Yup. They killed an extradimensional space god, but sure, a mid boss that you beat multiple times in Chrono Trigger led a band of regular ass dudes with medieval weaponry to their castle and killed them. Yup. Your party leader that soaked a space laser that shattered a continent? Killed by a regular sword! Isn't that more satisfying and realistic for these characters?! This isn't bad writing at all!!! WHY ISN'T ANYONE ENJOYING THEMSELVES!?"

Subverting your expectations

[Anonymous No.5645747]

That's why the SNES original is a well loved classic while the Playstation sequel is forgotten except by edgelord contrarians.

The funny thing about it is it is LITERALLY fan fiction writing. People had been posting on forums for years suggesting Dalton could have survived and did the 1005 stuff, then the DS port comes along and makes it official. SE has no integrity, they just saw a fan theory online, easier to just copy it rather than write their own material.

Is there any youtube video that specifically shows this new content?

[Anonymous No.5646874]

Fuck off, this is coming from the same writers that had an entire army fed, and history changed, with a piece of jerky. You're just mad at this instance because your one-dimensional DBZ time murderers got what they deserved.
