Let's Play: Chrono Trigger

Thadius · 08-07-2008, 12:46 PM

My first Let's Play. Let's Pray.

The opening screen. Cool graphics.

I've already played it, but blacked some of it out to eliminate spoilers for those of you that haven't. Yes, that is Frog down there, but everyone and their cousin knows about Frog. Since this is a Let's Play, I choose New Game at the top.

Hmm...nah.

This is better.

And now it's time for NAME THAT HERO! First off, I try my name, but nah. I don't like it. I want something original.

This one has promise, but then again...

I figure this one should work.

A shot of the ocean. Nice. No idea why they're showing us the ocean...

Oh, there's a fair. And those are some pretty big balloons.

Five more minutes...

Gah! What is it?!

Oh. Good morning to you, too. Now let me sleep!

Gah! She opened the window! Bright light is streaming into the room! Now I gotta get up, if only to close the window.

Seeing as I just found out about it, nah. The reason I'm not sleeping well is because you're disturbing me!

Sure thing, just let me sleep.

All right, fine, you nag!

I get up and the cat runs off. I'll follow it in a bit.

And now we're downstairs. Hmm. Mom seems to be in my way.

I have an inventor friend? Sweet!

Oh, another edition of NAME THAT HERO!

Hmm...

Yeah, that'll do.

Wait, her? Something tells me a rename is in order...

Oh, okay, no problem, mom. Not like I'll be dragged into a battle for the fate of the world before the day is through. And if I was, I would at least call and let you know.

Wait...is the cat...following me?

IT IS! RUN FOR IT!

I run away from the stalker cat to the festival, which is apparently in Leene Square.

Hey look, there's an old guy over there. Wonder if he's got anything to say?

HO CRAP I'VE BEEN RUN OVER BY A HORDE OF PEOPLE!

...And apparently unharmed. Odd.

"Just ignore those people running around, they won't hurt you!"

Hmm, there's a bell here. Wonder what it's about? And why is that girl...just standing there? Is she stalking those people that ran me over?

Ah! I get it!

The wind-up...and the pitch!

...Silver points? My mission becomes clear. I must collect MORE.

Hey! Those guys that ran me over! Seeing as I can't do anything to them, I decide to talk to the old guy nearby.

Wonder what he means by that? Anyway, now for the guy in the nearby tent.

Oh. Sure thing!

Remembering the words of wisdom from the old man, I pick the cat.

And the winner is...

...The old man has failed me.

Hmm, maybe this tent has some points?

Oh-ho! I spend them here? Well then! Let's see what my point can get me!

There's...a face. With hands. That's...kinda creepy. Where do I spend my points again?

HO CRAP IT'S TALKING TO ME!

Okay, calm. Maybe he can give me something for my points?

Heck yes! I can spend my little point here!

...Damn you, Norstein. Damn you to Hell.

My mission becomes even clearer: I must collect nine more points!

In the meanwhile, I decide the sword smith is a cool guy and buy something from him.

Hey! A neat new blade! I buy it and equip it, selling off my old sword afterwards. Shing! Now I can go kill stuff!

Let's go this way. Maybe I'll find more ways to collect points.

Hey, a girl! Sweet! Maybe she's got points?

Nope, just severe head injuries. Also, Ouch.

Oh yeah. That sound was just my spine cracking out of joint. No worries.

You mean that thing in the upper right corner? The one that's only ten feet from you and you could easily go get?

While she isn't looking, I go get it and talk to her again. I figure, hey, blackmail material is blackmail material.

Mmm...Sure. I'm sorta kinda nice.

...You want to stalk me? Meh. If I say no, you'll do it anyways.

She doesn't know her name? NAME THAT HERO!

I'm bored and this is the best one that was offered. It'll be fun later on.

Fifth is picking up the girls!

Aww, she's lost her cat. Maybe we can find it?

Hey, there it is! C'mere kitty.

...Why are all cats stalkers?

Yeah, yeah. You got any silver points for me, kid? ...I guess not.

Yeah, I could do with some soda, actually.

It is at this point I cheat and use the Turbo function. Rapid A pressing FTW!

Wait...so I chug a lot of soda and get five points? I don't see a downside to this!

But I wonder what's this way. More silver points?

Nope, just dancing cavemen and other people.

Oh, okay! Let's dance!

Um...dance. Not giggle.

Um...did they see me through the monitor? Creepy.

I...really don't want to think about this. No, really, I don't.

Gah. Not once did they dance. And now I'm thoroughly disgusted. Let's get outta here.

Maybe this way will have points for me.

HOLY CRAP A GIANT ROBOT!

HOLY CRAP A GIANT SINGING ROBOT I MAY COMMIT VIOLENT ACTS ON TO OBTAIN POINTS!

BEST DAY EVARS!

You may have the power of Karaoke, but my legendary 'Beat things up until they fall down' style is invincible!

After a short battle, Gato yields XP and the silver points I was looking for.

Hey, this means...

I can play the game! Yeah! Let's do this Norstein!

Okay, the doors opened and soldiers came out.

The smelly one!

After a short while, they move around. I wonder why?

Darn! I wasn't paying attention! Um, um...you! You smell horrible enough!

Hey! I won the doll! Very nice. But now I wonder about the 40 point game...

After a short while of beating up Gato, drinking soda, and ringing the bell, I can play the 40 point game.

Oh, so there will be someone else coming out of that door I assume?

HO CRAP A CLONE OF ME?!

After a quick 'Simon-says'-esque game...

I won! Yay!

...Why does that seem creepy to me? I really don't want that thing in my house...

Hey, Pyros is ready? Cool! Let's go see!

Aww, but I wanna see the invention! Stupid Nadia making me follow her around...

Not like I had a choice. Really, I tried.

Anyway, to the invention!

A teleporter? That seems kinda dangerous to be messing around with.

Dude, I could walk that far in less time.

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because it seems kinda dangerous with all that exposed machinery? Just a thought.

Oh, me? No, no, no, I don't want to...

They really don't care what I think, do they?

So long as it doesn't hurt...

Wait, so NOW you turn the power on? If you were really waiting like you said you were, it would have always been on.

Is...he hitting it with a hammer? And does she have some sort of gun-arm like a cheap Samus rip-off? Um, are you sure this will wo-

This is where I would be screaming, except I've been turned into weird blue sparks.

The audience, sufficiently wowed, gives praise to Pyros.

Oh, okay, fine. It's really easy. Just hop on the pod and trust your life to the two deranged lunatics that operate the machine.

A valid question, but one we don't have time to answer.

"Yeah, it's not like some freaky portal is gonna open up and swallow me whole!"

"Watch as she daringly puts one foot in front of the other!"

Y'know, you could be gone and back twice over by now.

Taban shows doubts about this new technology.

...And just as quickly they are brushed aside.

They're stalling. Just do it already!

As a side-note, Pyros has been moving her glasses up and down all this time. Take them off or leave them on, I don't care! Just make up your mind!

And out come the hammer and gun-arm again.

Well, that's different. Maybe you should take it off before-

Um, electricity is arcing through the machine on the left. That's not good, right?

Nope, that's definitely not good! Get off, Nadia! Get off!

She didn't listen, and now some freaky portal has appeared and swallowed her!

DUN DUN DUNNNNN! Cliffhanger!

So. If you lot would like to suggest alternate names for our heroes, then I'll consider it and the most popular one for any person will be chosen. Until...Hmm, Sunday? Yeah, Sunday sounds good.

Ryong · 08-07-2008, 12:54 PM

Too many LPs, but of COURSE it won't be this one that'll die because the mods love CT a lot.

So, fine, go on. Names? I've no idea on names.

Azisien · 08-07-2008, 01:02 PM

Hot damn, in your opening post you got like a third of the way as far as I did before dropping it off.

I'm okay with "Fifth" for Crono as long as you name Magus "Krylo".

Y'know what? Fuck it, name Crono "Fifth" and Marle "Mesden".

Thadius · 08-07-2008, 02:13 PM

Five letters. I suppose I could go with Meddy, but that's not what you're after.

Krylo · 08-07-2008, 02:23 PM

You... don't need a picture every goddamn time you take a step.

Christ.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure about Fifth with this new rule of his about the number of LP's, so this MAY be shortly closed.

POS Industries · 08-07-2008, 02:25 PM

.......Did you do the entire Millennial Fair segment in one post and not give the readers any chance to choose the first three character names?

Yes he did.

I am gonna close this both due to we have too many let's plays and also because I feel this one could use some rethinking. And also the highly toxic current levels of about-meness.

Thadius · 08-07-2008, 02:32 PM

No, I did NOT give you no choice in the names. If you'll read the end lines, I CLEARLY state that I am accepting names for the first three until Sunday. At which point I'll do it all over again, but I will NOT replace the screenshots with the 'correct' versions. However, all the ones afterwards will contain the names you all decide upon.

So far Crono is still Fifth and Marle is Messy.
