i love the final battle. i remember back in the day i would refight him with different party members just to hear the battle music.
 
World Revolution is a damn fantastic piece.

They forgot to take off the vest? lol. Ah they might still live.
Oh gosh, I forgot they didn't re-equip their stuff.

Adding Ayla to the party would've helped since she and Crono would've used Falcon Hit to eliminate the arms quickly.
 
What an amazing boss theme! It's been so long since I've beaten this I've forgotten. I stopped my ER inspired run, but this is making me wanna finish it up for sure.
 
Like with any other RPG in existence, they have a couple elixirs and megalixirs saved up at this point so it'll be hard for them to lose.
 
So then what is Dragon Quest?
I knew I should've bought that issue of Retro Gamer I saw today! :lol

It took a lot of influence from Ultima and Wizardry, but Toriyama and Horii knew each other, and Toriyama was asked to do the character/monster art to distinguish the DQ games from other RPGs and make it more appealing for the Japanese audience and ordinary game players... as opposed to Ultima, for example.
 
I'll admit... they really have come a long way since the first few episodes.

I still maintain that Chrono Trigger is a good implicit learning tool for beginning RPG players. Much like Megaman is a good teaching tool for run 'n' guns.

Edit: Also, watching them play this live feels better.
 
Seriously. Jeff finds them abhorrent for some reason but you could tell Patrick had a shitload of fun with this, Ryan too. I don't see why this has to be a seldom used feature.
It's by far the most compelling (free) content on the site along with the QLs. If Jeff doesn't want to do them anymore himself, that's fine.

Let Vinny and Dave, or Patrick and Brad do them.
