i guarantee you crono would have been less cool if he spoke

Chads don't get killed by big bad.
Thomas Bell
Adol.

I like to imagine he wasn't planning to chase after Marle. He just wanted to grab the pendant to hock and Lucca misunderstood.
Robert Hernandez
Guilty.
Jackson Kelly
Super saiyan God goku sucks
Nicholas Ward
Doing everything "wrong" makes Crono a much more interesting character.
Benjamin Kelly
If only Chrono Cross didn't take a big shit on the Trigger characters, I woulda liked it more.
Levi Morales
That's Gohan, dude.
Luke Rodriguez
Nathan Gonzalez
Do people actually get upset over that?
Jeremiah Murphy
Tyler Wood
I love Reisen!
Jose Brooks
I've played through that game six times and I still can't figure out exactly what happened. "Lynx killed them" seems like the most likely implication but it's super unclear. The more retarded part is that it presumes that in 20 years the sleepy town in the south where you bought jerky and taught the mayor to be generous suddenly raised a giant fuck you army.
Kevin Hernandez
yes. why wouldn't they? people like to imagine that people who risked their lives to save the world got a happy ending, not literally get shit on by FATE because they saved the world.
Elijah Myers
that's not wrong

Elijah Rodriguez

Sorry Terry, you lost all credibility, you're still not Andy at least.
Xavier Nguyen
That’s the logic of a child. I mean yeah, it’s sad, but how does that make Cross a lesser story?
Isaiah Powell
>Manlet
when will they learn?
Aiden Long
Andy is based as fuck, he bangs Mai and then flees to the mountains when she starts nagging him, just look at his reaction in the baby intro between the two
Parker Hughes
What's irritating is that it feels like edgy fanfiction. There's no real reason it had to happen. It's not even especially plot relevant to what Cross is about. The tone shift between Trigger and Cross doesn't feel natural at all.

I could stomach Lucca and Robo being killed through the story, but there was no reason why Crono and Marle and the entire kingdom of Guardia had to die.

Oh Christ. Everything they added to the DS port was dumb.

Nah. Crono as is had exactly 0 personality or character. There's nothing more uncool than 0 character development

dalton as a bonus boss who became extremely powerful after becoming lost through time when you defeat him and throw him into the golem dimension
after you beat him he laughs off the defeat and says he'll go raise an army in porre to wipe guardia off the face of the map and escapes through a portal

Ken is in the chad section, that’s Ryo from Art of Fighting.
Christian Sullivan
Two extra post-game areas that add a bunch of repetitive fetch quests to a game that originally had none and an extra final boss that's supposed to link to Cross and implies that Magus actually IS Guile but lost his memory and Dalton ended up in Porre and is responsible for raising the army as revenge.
It's like they openly acknowledge the two games don't match up properly and patched the holes up with tape and bubble gum.
Michael Hill
You wish, faggot. Get over it.
Joshua King
It's the logic of people who invested emotionally in story.
The passive agressive bitch move of the punkass hack who that out that immature navel gazing trash story in cc or s childish.

Nicholas Richardson

Asher Davis
This image is older than most nu-Yea Forums posters, Jesus
Charles Fisher
That's because it was originally a piece of shit called radical dreamers.
SE knew it wouldn't sell so they forced the team creating it to make it a CT sequel.
The passive agressive destruction of CT story and characters is the result.
Backlash must have been bad in nipla dbecause I didn't know it was a sequel to CT till a lot later.
Landon Barnes
Rance doesn't rape girls, he shows them love they never knew was there to begin with. He's a feminist who values women more than anyone.
Face it, you're just jealous of his massive harem.

Landon Price
The dream devourer is fucking stupid and if it didn't fucking kill the fucking wisemen or lavos for fucking with some then why go after work the CT crew?
Owen Garcia
>Terra
>only relevant in WoL
She is hardly relevant in WoL either. She is completely passive and just spends most of the game going 'muh amnesia' and doing nothing.
Colton Robinson
Samuel Jones
the dream devourer is lavos, stupid, and it literally killed the most advanced robot in the timelines to turn it into a metal puppet
Adam James
>Crono is a fucking chad
By that logic any video game protagonist is a chad by default, since they all stand up to overwhelming odds.
Anthony Martinez
What do you think he wears a mask for?
Luke Green
He started a bloodline of Chads leading to the hero of the first game, who can valiantly live up to his Chad heritage by knobbing the princess and a random fangirl at the same time, and his eventual descendants, the heroes of DQ2, are the heirs to three separate kingdoms. His Chadnessence spreads across the world.
Come to.think of it most (if not all) of the DQ protags are pretty high on the scale of Chadness.
Camden Bailey
silent protagonists provide better immersion in role-playing games
you don't want the character you play as to think for you, you want him to be you
the fallout games and the elder scroll games get the right idea though, with having dialogue choices for your silent protagonists
Camden Nelson
FF protagonists are all over the place in terms of plot relevance. Bartz and Vaan were literally just a couple of hobos who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Kayden Russell
When did Yea Forums start celebrating normalfaggotry again?
Easton Wood
Dylan Ross
the difference is crono actually lost. implying he wasn't fueled by protagonist destiny bullshit. you can beat the game without him if you want.
Caleb Rivera
Yes faggot.
I know.
The way you phrased your post made me think that you were also saying that the dream devourer should be a sperate entity.
But if it's still Lavos then it attacking the CT gang for fuckign with time as if it's some kind of fucking god or protector of time is the most deeply fucking stupid ludicrous idiocy I've ever fucking read.
The story and you are fucking stupid.
Jacob Evans
Brody Rogers
>takes Ayla as his bride, impregnates her and wipes Marle from existence
utterly based and chad
Liam Hall
lavos is not attacking you for fucking with time. it's literally just throwing a big fucking tantrum that it got killed and is doing everything it can to fuck up the human race which killed it, which includes time-warping shit because fucking with time and dimensions was a power it had since it was alive.
Connor Hill
>a terrible opinions followed by listing fallout and elder scrolls as good games
Never has an opinion been so obvious to ignore
Jace Morales
nice headcannon
Brayden Gutierrez
>silent protagonists provide better immersion in role-playing games
Ah yes, nothing is as immersive as having NPCs talk to you while your character just stands as some autistic mute saying nothing.
Eli Reyes
With a silent protagonist you can never be disappointed by their reaction to something, but you will always be uplifted by a cool thing they do.
Blake Adams
Which would have actually been cool. But everything about Lavos is strangely tangential in Chrono Cross despite being the last boss. Most of the game you aren't really working toward a principal goal, you're just jumping from character problem to character problem and only at the very end do you get a giant info dump that supposedly explains everything the game is actually about and occasionally running into deus ex machina solutions like a random alien that gives you the ability to fly to Terra Tower.
William Moore
>That
>"""anime""" """pretty boy"""
Go ahead and move to another goalpost if you want.
Owen Morales
Chicks dig the red, long and thick nose
Colton Young
>headcanon
yes user i'm fucking aware that the canonical route is that you rescue him from the brink. my point was that the game doesn't railroad you into having to do it and even offers different endings for doing so. it does suggest you bring him back if you desire but ultimately it was up to you.
Connor Wright
this is it right here, maximum Chad, everyone else can go home, thread's over
Alexander Brooks
>can't even form an argument
lmao
Yeah that's why Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas are highly regarded among gamers despite having a silent protagonist while people shit on Fallout 4 for having one
Christian Fisher
>god's messenger boy
yeah he is such a chad
Ryder Martin
*people shit on Fallout 4 for having a voiced protagonist
Grayson Howard
Wait a minute....do you actually think "silent protagonist" just means there's no voice acting or are you trolling when you call fallout protagonist silent?
Jonathan Carter
I stand by my post.
CC was just a big stupid goddamned clusterfuck and the "dream devourer" was a stupid as fuck last minute addition to the fucking story.
They even went back and fuckign changed what schala looked like so she could fucking look like the kid character from radical dreamers for fucks sake.
It's a piss poor wordy stupid story with a lot of dumb goddamned bullshit that made no sense and went out of it's way to spit on the CT story while it clung to it's name for relevance.
Alexander Morgan
Patrician. What's more Chad than basically creating the entire world and nurturing humanity, then saving the world again?
Josiah Rogers
>Yeah that's why Fallout 1,2 and New Vegas are highly regarded among gamers despite having a silent protagonist while people shit on Fallout 4 for having one
>being this retarded
Fallout games never had silent protagonists. Just because their dialogue isn't voiced doesn't mean they're silent, otherwise pre-Tidus Final Fantasy protagonists would also be silent protags. Fallout 4 protag is hated because his dialogue responses are worse than the previous games.
Landon Garcia
>fallout 1, 2, NV
>silent protagonist
Retard
Kayden Green
radical dreamers was pretty cool
Nolan Jenkins
>he didn't get it
oh my sweet summer child
Jaxon Thompson
by that logic crono isn't a silent protagonist because he can say yes/no to things
Jose Cooper
but the soundtrack is a masterpiece so that is enough to make it better than Trigger this is unironically the reason I've always heard apologists defend Cross
Grayson Watson
>hurr they're not silent because muh dialogue choices
that's like saying that Isaac from Golden Sun isn't a silent protagonist because he can respond with Yes/No to certain questions and even affect the story at some point
Carson Evans
somebody didn't play Soul Blazer
Henry Gonzalez
>by that logic crono isn't a silent protagonist because he can say yes/no to things
>continuing being this retarded
No, because "yes/no" isn't a meaningful response, it's not even real verbal communication, since Crono is just nodding his head, not actually speaking. A Fallout protag can insult npcs, give inspirational speeches to party members, talk the final boss into killing himself, etc.
Justin Torres
and crono can have his integrity judged for actions committed outside of dialogue trees
Christopher Ortiz
>talk the final boss into killing himself,
fuck off baka boyo you know even in WRPGs that is a rarity and you just stole that quip from sseth review of Arcanum
Isaac Jackson
oh sht, i thought his belt were little skinny feet kek
Nolan Edwards
Benjamin Campbell
>crono doesn't make moral decisions
>he doesn't know about the trial
Bentley Bennett
Listen I'm not even insulting you or shitposting right now, but you genuinely have the definition of "silent protagonist" wrong. This isn't a difference of opinion you're just actually using it incorrectly. It does not apply to fallout protagonist
Juan Bailey
>SNK Heroines
>Canon to anything
Benjamin Smith
YOU JELLY?
jrpg wins
Landon Rivera
Not as Chad as the swole one.
Robert Bailey
Isaac can literally tell his village elder that he won't save the world and the game will just end right there. If he can still be regarded as a silent protagonist then this applies to every Fallout protag too.
Elijah Bell
Andrew Morales
>and crono can have his integrity judged for actions committed outside of dialogue trees
What are you referring to? The trial? The part of the game where you get locked up no matter your actions, meaning your choices in Chrono Trigger are just fake and have no meaningful consequences? That's your argument to defend Chrono Trigger with?
You are genuinely retarded. What, do you think it's noteworthy that there are extremely limited sections where the game judges you for actions committed outside of dialogue trees? E In Fallout you can kill freely attack and kill any npc you want. Chrono Trigger doesn't even trust its player with that kind of freedom.
What are you even arguing against? No, Chrono Trigger does not speak. Why would you be in denial about this?
Christian Reed
No user, silent protagonist has an actual definition and fallout protagonist does not fit it. There isn't a debate to be had or any opinion to discuss, you're simply using the term incorrectly.
Jackson Clark
You get healing items if you're not a bad person :)
Nathan Reed
>moral choices
>you get locked up no matter what you do, so what morality?
>moral choices
>you can freely barge into people's homes and steal their belongings throughout the entire game
>but suddenly, during the fair, it's a crime to do that
The trial is just a dumb gimmick. You must be very easily impressed.
Michael Flores
>Isaac can literally tell his village elder that he won't save the world and the game will just end right there. If he can still be regarded as a silent protagonist then this applies to every Fallout protag too.
That's not real decision making you mongoloid, it's just a non-standard game over. You get a game over then precisely because Isaac is a silent protagonist, and he can't make any choices that would alter the plot.
Nicholas Powell
>HURR THE TRIAL WAS NOTHING SPECIAL
hindsight is a bitch user. also you're confusing zelda with CT. most chests were time locked in peoples houses
Eli Gutierrez
>you get locked up no matter what so what morality?
you get an early glimpse into a plot point regarding the state of the chancellor later on. the first boss you kill in 800 AD ends up having a descendant who wants your ass dead for killing his dad. he is the chancellor in disguise until you free him in the side quest near the end of the game.
Sebastian Gonzalez
>The best SSJ transformation sucks
What did he mean by this?
Blake Baker
>calling it SSJ
fuck off spic
Jack Cox
You're just making excuses for the game now. There were other ways to foreshadow the chancellor being secretly a fiend in disguise without writing illogical plot turns. Heck, why would he even bother with Crono, who's just some random kid? That would only draw needless attention to him and jeopardize his evil schemes.The whole things falls apart under the slightest bit of scrutiny, just like the rest of Chrono Trigger.
Adam Ortiz
>Heck, why would he even bother with Crono, who's just some random kid?
>because killing him would lead to suspicion
>That would only draw needless attention to him and jeopardize his evil schemes.
because killing Marle would lead to NOTHING SUSPICIOUS
Michael Miller
>wojakspamming
why though. i thought you were better than this wrpg-kun.
William Powell
Strawman much? Who said anything about killing anyone? The Chancellor didn't even have to arrest Crono to begin with, that was my point.
Parker Phillips
Adrian Howard
Brayden Russell
Ahahahha this nigga said “flees” in a real sentence
Nolan Smith
>The Chancellor didn't even have to arrest Crono
the king had a warrant and the chancellor had an easy target
James Scott
>the king had a warrant and the chancellor had an easy target
Target For what? He could've easily allowed Crono to explain the situation, that he went back to save Marle, and none would be the wiser about the chancellor's true nature. Instead, he drew attention to himself by putting up public trial that was a blatant sham and had a fucking dragon golem march openly on castle ground.
Pretty much everything about Chrono trigger's story is complete nonsense.
Evan Sullivan
