Let's Play: Chrono Trigger Crimson Echo's -rom hax game

[queenzelda]

*NOTE: First off this is a FAN MADE game. Thus the only way I can play it is via emulator. Also I say that this is a 'kind of play though' as I'm not going to be screen capturing the whole game; that's nuts. I plan to screen cap just enough to be able to talk about my playing this title though. ;3

Being new to emulator gaming it took a few tries before I was able to figure out how to finally get the game to work on my netbook; but it started to work great after I had set up the control scheme for the game on my pc.. But this is my first experience with an emulated game. ^^; ;3

---

Ok now onto some stuff I screen captured of my playing this 'game' and already my head hurts.. D: (I'll post more as I play through the game.)



First off: Crono (who I named 'Eran') is a MUTE! He doesn't SPEAK.. And yet as you can see.. *face palms self* He's speaking with Marle..

---

Hehe meeting are boring Crono.. (Btw: I named Marle; Marin) But no seriously Crono isn't a kid! I'd be one to think he's worried about why they're still living with his mom; they got married in the PSX and DS version (good ending) so um.. Explanations plz?

---

In the original game if you bug Crono's mom she eventually gives Crono some money. But does that happen here? Hellz no! *sigh* Crono's mom denies your shaggy arse some coinage! xD

---

Ok so the area there filled with monsters inside that forest area magically moved in under the span of one game? Wow Lavos sucks major arse if he was able to pull this crap off. o.O



Well at least they remembered to keep Fiona's Forest in tact in the game. Ok; now to head in..



*Sighs even deeper* Come on now seriously; is this really a fan made game? I want cold hard evidence! I call foul! <.<;; 

Eh screw it I'm heading back to Guarida Castle. *Heads into the castle*



Ok let's go and check out Marle's room. For those of you uninitiated; just head to the left of the screen here..



Say WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Oh come on! Just because Crono and crew blew up the bridge leading into the prison is no reason to turn Marle's bed room into the 'new prison area' that's just mean! You big jerk! >

Else where in la la land..



While in the original game the prison's real location was just up the stairs to the right there; just behind Marle... 

*Sighs deeply* 

....Come on some one tell me this is a huge joke and it's really a huge laugh that some gamers are having at us h-core Chrono Trigger fans. What's that you say? It's seriously a fan made game? *sigh* *Grabs head and shakes it in disdain.*

So far I'm unimpressed with it. I mean yea I'll play it cause I'm a h-core CT fan.. But some things should still be stuck to.. And come on they even got where the prison was located from the original source material incorrect! I know that I'm nit picking here but I'm allowed to; being a huge CT fan I'm sure other CT fans will nit pick it worse then I just have! *Sigh* 

-This next screen cap was the first screen cap I made before making a new file for myself with out getting the chance to be able to rename Crono-


*sigh* 

I have a feeling this is going to be one long game...............................



Welp looks like the two deuces have arrived. Yey for that I suppose.. xp



One guy introduces himself as Ingrus.. Ok wait.. Just who the frack is Ingrus? This guy wasn't in Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross at all. 

Ugh.. Just get me past this scene already. Reads some more bull crap how these guys are after three things; one being the sun stone.. Another is their wanting access to Fionna's Forest.. And the third is a blank, ya don't care moving on.. When the 'horse' guard speaks in all caps asking to be excused. Wait what? I thought he was horse from yelling as explained in a scene earlier? *Sighs* What ever lets move on...



Hmmmmmmmmmm.. I think I'll go with the first choice given to me here..



Ha, suck it King! xp 

So yea after that the group decides to follow after those two bozo's. Not that I blame them, and after they leave.. Guess who shows up! -Spoiler alert!- 

Spoiler

So after that scene; your made to follow Crono and their crew who run after the two 'dignitaries' down to the basement where there in the original Chrono Trigger the rainbow shell was kept. As the group over hears these two bozo's plotting...



Wait what? It's an assassination attempt; who saw that coming? Oh wait it was me. xp

And then... Dun dun dun!

Spoiler

XD Oh come on now the Chancellor is a pussy cat. XD

---

I kind of wonder if Jing (my husband) is right in thinking that less then one person worked on CT: CE and from what he told me if it wasn't more then one person working on the game: it's never a good thing. :s


Back to the game..(as it were.)


Um.... I kind of wonder why these two haven't noticed that some one might be listening in on them by the time the above scene comes up.. xp

And then of course Crono and crew once they heard enough move in to question these bozo's..



Ok... Wow.. Here these guys are talking about killing off Marle's dad and there's no emotion shown here. Wow.. Just wow..



HA! Good luck with that, as many bad guys have all tried and all have failed. >:3

Thus when the time is right Crono makes his move and slices the guy with his sword; as Queen (aka: Lucca) states how awesome she is in this next scene:



After that the caps lock guy runs off; running into Lucca (who I named Queen for the playthrough) and the group goes running after him onto Zenan Bridge. Where there the group takes a minute to catch their breath:



<.< Crono.... Is... Still....A....MUTE. >.> -breathes in and out- Ok I've let it go.. For now.

To make a long story short the group follows the (robot a duh) guy towards what looks like a mountain location where there the group is told by Lucca (Queen) that her time egg (which was also used in the first game) is acting funny after getting it back from the guy who ran off, ran back grabbed the egg.. And then Lucca shot at the guy; who dropped it as she was able to get it back; but it starts to spark and fizzle.



She tells the group that she's been creating a time egg with the help of Melchior but isn't too sure how powerful it is.. (Eh he)



And thus warns every one that it's probably going to 'blow' soon. Meaning; explode. Of course it does and Marle (Marin), Crono (Eran), and Lucca (Queen) are all sent forwards to Robo's time period.

There's a scene with Keno and Ayla; with Keno telling Ayla to run and get away while he fights the monsters off. Then another scene with Frog who goes to get the Masamune from a cave it was sealed in as a soilder comes to tell him the King has sent for him & they walk off screen.

Eventually there's a scene where Crono and crew are dropped off into the future; right at the spot where Robo is doing some research (apparently) with Belthasah; who approaches them..



The scene then changes to the intro; or what passes as an intro for this title. <.< *Sigh*



I honestly don't care to ever finish playing this game. The plot is shotty & the 'movie scenes' are abysmal: at best. If your looking to play this; don't it's very headache inducing & isn't that great of a game. Even if it tries to explain what happened during the times between Trigger & Cross, it just isn't worth playing impo. Play something else, ANYTHING else. Just not this is my advice.
