3.1 - Lucreto,
I recommend you get an SNES just to play Chrono Trigger. Yes, it's that good. I would say get an emulator but you need to experience it in all its glory on a TV (although I'm aware you can connect your computer to a television).

Luca Blight himself what an honor. I am a part of the Luca Blight Army on Gamefaqs;)

I don't have a SNES but my Aunt has one but the game was never released in Europe.

3.3 - Chrono Trigger was never released in Europe?!
Wow, that's crazy. To me, that's kind of like if Metal Gear Solid was never released in the US. Anyway, you owe it to yourself to play this game!

On another note, I was pretty psyched when this username was actually available on n4g. I love that game (as you probably figured out from the Suikoden thread we posted on yesterday)!

3.4 - Lucreto it's a RARE game to find though
I think I see it around for $90+, yeah it's one of those classics.

I bet you(if you like Jrpgs) you can play that game and forget that its a 16-bit era game, The story was good, the music was excellent, and it has different ending, I mean during the time Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and some others were it.

I was 15 when this game hit, I so remember the commercial. But Square has been falling off, Personally.

If you want to play chrono trigger, but you can't afford that D-bag trying to jack you on Ebay, just get the Final Fantasy Chronicles, it's about 20 bucks, you get FFIV and Chrono Trigger on PS1 discs. I did because I lost my chrono trigger to a yard sale :( Stupid mom and her yard sales...

Thanks Pornlord for the advise but its still a problem I will have to get a US PS1 to play it. I have hope that it may appear on the PS store or wait for this game to appear on DS and order it off Ebay.

What about a PS2? Those are probably easier to get ahold of now than a PS1.
Heck, buy FF Chronicles and just nab a PS1 emulator for the PC and run it that way, Sony isn't bringing in anymore new revenue from the PS1 hardware as it is, since most likely the only actual PS1 systems you're bound to find will be used or a refurbished model anyhow.

I can't bring in a PS2 Customs are on alert for claiming VAT and they will notice a PS2 coming into the country and I will have to pay a lot more. Most online shops won't sell electronic stuff in Ireland because of the WEEE tax we have.

I can't run an emulator because my PC is on its last legs at the moment.

I wonder if all the stuff that was missing from the original will make it in this one. OMG if so, this will make me shut up about Square for a while.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who appreciated Alundra!
Anyway, yeah, now all I need is Xenogears on PSN or DS or something.

7.1 - Sphinx,
Yeah, Alundra was a great game and definetely one of the most challenging yet rewarding RPGs I've ever played (I even thought the rather cliched ending was great). I'd love for it (and Xenogears) to come to the US PSN, but I'm not going to hold my breath (although the JP PSN is getting/already has both).

Bubble to any fellow Alundra fan!

A Couple of years back, before the DS came around (I'm thinking 2002 but I cannot exactly recall) their was an article in, what I believe was GamePro that had rumors of Chrono Trigger coming to the GBA, I'm actually more excited now that this is coming to the DS instead of the GBA, this may mean the potential of Co-op battles(doubtful but I can dream right?) if not that, I'm sure they'll have other good use of the Wifi. Chrono Trigger making its way, legitimately, to a handheld has me wanting more info badly.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

It's been a while since I've played on my DS. Last time was for Chrystal Chronicles: Ring of Fate.

CC & FF4... Now all they need to do is remake FF6 for the DS =)
