July Retro Community Playthrough - Chrono Trigger

[NeoMagicWarrior]

Not being an RPG guy in general, CT so far has impressed me a lot so far (never played it before). Thoughts so far:

--ATB was either a neat way to keep things interesting, or a terrible choice that I am gonna kick myself for.

--It seems like my choices matter way more; sorta like how Mass Effect should have been

--I still don't ever do side quests. Some things never change.

For those of you wanting to know how far I am:

 Just beat a Dragon tank after being convicted of kidnapping. Currently in some sort of futuristic junkyard.

You shouldn't be too far from the first checkpoint.

I would think that ATB would be an interesting choice, but I like to take my time planning out my battle strategies so I chose the turn based option.

Fortunately, I wasn't convicted of kidnapping but you end up in he dungeons anyway.

We can now discuss the content of Week 1. If you have anything to say about Week 2's material try to keep it brief and use those spoiler tags.

Seeing SOO many things I would consider spoilers...

[Fleach]

You can use your moderator powers to clean things up.

Nah - I'm not running the show. I know a lot of people have played this in the past, and I'm just concerned certain "interesting" things may get spoiled. Not that they'll impact any part of the playthrough necessarily, at least from what has been said currently. No ruining some of the second half.

So how should we be using the spoiler boxes properly?  Would a spoiler be considered anything passed the current checkpoint?  I think everything up to the weeks' current checkpoint should be fair game.

However you guys choose. Mid-late game spoiler below for explanation. This is your playthrough folks - just trying to level the playing field for those who haven't experienced the game yet, as this game likely has the highest participation of people who have previously played it.

I just felt the comment about naming Frog "Glenn" was a spoiler, since the game talks about Glenn as a Knight and you aren't truly introduced to Frog being Glenn until obtaining the Hero Medal. Also, the fact that you get to name Magus was a spoiler because you have the option of killing Magus vs. recruiting him later.

I think it would make more sense if we were allowed to discuss everything up to the week's checkpoint openly and everything beyond that should be in spoiler tags.  Because now everyone has moved on and last week is history.

That's what I meant.

So... based on my faux pas, content from Week 2 is fair game is open to discuss.

CHRONO IS JESUS

[russlyman]

So I def like the feel of the post apocalyptic place you are transferred to after running away from the castle. It has that Mad Maxx feel. I ended up grinding alot where you would hope onto the moto bike in one of the domes. Since you don't get the key to the bike yet everytime you touch it, it triggers an alarm and more robots come. Plus you get a good amount of gold fighting them

Just got my copy from Canada!  I am so in!

EDIT:
