However, here are my reasons for choosingġ. The Japanese character used for Crono’s element can be rendered as Sky or Heaven in English. Regarding the change of the element icon ‘Lightning’ to ‘Sky’ and then to ‘Heaven’ in my version: I have strong reasoning for doing this. You are expected to provide your own legit copy. I will not provide you or tell you where to get an illegal ROM image of Chrono Trigger. Hopefully, you’ll find it to be an enjoyable experience. I aimed not so much for a literal translation, but localization, clear and easily understood text, and the inclusion of any missing elements left out from the US version due to Nintendo’s censorship policy from back in the day. In the end, here are the fruits of my labor. The resources they provided pointed me in the right direction to complete this. I want to make it clear that, despite not enjoying their version, I would not have been able to do this without Chrono Compendium’s retranslation forerunners I acquired all the necessary tools to begin doing my re-retranslation.

Of complaining, I decided to take action. I soon discovered I was not the only one who felt this way. No, discredit to them, but I felt much of the text was incoherent and/or awkward. When I discovered that KWhazit, ZeaLitY, andĬompany had finished a new English retranslation, I immediately applied it to the game and started playing. Late in January of 2008, I had a desire to play Chrono Trigger again after having not played for at least 7 years. Normally, I’d be wondering the same thing. Doubled both Offense and HP of Uber-Mutants, M-Machine, Queen Zeal semi-final and final, Yakkra XIII, Super Slash, Flea Plus, Great Ozzie, Son of Sun, Flame, and Lavos final boss.So, you’re probably wondering why a great game that already had a decent translation and a recently released retranslation from fans would need anotherįan translation.Doubled HP of bosses and normal enemies in prison scene.Made all normal enemies in Magic Cave and Magus Castle have 16 Water and Shadow Defense (except where stat was already higher than 16).Doubled Offense of normal enemies until the Future and quadrupled Offense of normal enemies thereafter (except those with an Offense of 1).Here’s a precise breakdown of the changes.

Applying to a non-headered ROM will result in corrupted enemy data and an unplayable game. NOTE: The patch requires a headered ROM.This is a hack that simply makes Chrono Trigger more challenging (albeit not to an extreme degree), and thereby more fun (according to the author!)īecause Chrono Trigger was already pretty well balanced, this was an easy hack to implement compared to the other Platinum hacks which took the author literally years. The author figured that someone ought to rectify this!

Chrono Trigger is rather easy for most of the game.
