Crono Trigger Ultimate

[TLDunn213]

I've been replaying Crono Trigger and ran across a thing talking about rebooting and expanding the game.

Not sure what they have in mind or how far the idea has gotten. But it inspired me to come up with my own ideas about things I'd like to see done with it.

Who knows maybe my ideas will drift through the internet and make their way into the game. And maybe I'll find a winning lottery ticket the next time I go shopping too. Odds are probably about equal. 

Anyway I'm brainstorming here so things are going to be messy and disorganized.

First up Magus.

Not too many changes here. Just wanting to see some double techs and maybe a few more triples. As well as adding some singles that match with the abilities of the new characters I'm wanting to add. 

Next Schala (Magus' sister) 

In the Steam version you get these Dimensional vortexs after beating the game the first time. I want to have them appear after you get Crono back.

And the shades you face be of the three that make it up Death Peak to get him. After completing these dungeons have the gate at the End of Time connect to Time's Eclipse and a 4th Vortex Dungeon where you face the Shade of Crono. After all that you unlock the fight with the Dream Stealer version of Lavos. Beat the outer shell to gain Schala with Lavos running away and having to be chased and locked down in time by multiple teams before you can have the final battle with his other forms.

This way you get her early enough to use her and level her up also makes getting the other new characters necessary as you will need 4 teams to corner Lavos for your final battle with his other forms.

Schala (finialy talking about her.)

Magic type Dream. (Yes, I'm adding several magic types) heavy on protective and healing stuff. 

Such as blocking MP Buster, Life Shaver, and similar effects, Dream Sheild. Also Revive and Haste effects. Including a Triple with Luca and Marle that gives everyone Haste, Barrier and Sheild. 

Not sure what attacks, if any, to give her. 

 

Next Rex.

Building off of the Lost Santaum side quests for the Reptites. After beating the original Boss fight in the monster's lair beyond the dark cave. Unlock a Hidden Laboratory Dungeon where Dalton has been creating monsters.

Gives an origin for the Fiends.

As to how Dalton is here. He copied Luca's Gate Key and tech from Epoch when he had them during the Blackbird Dungeon part of the game. 

Rex 

Race:Reptite.  Magic type: Nature.

Vine Crush and Spore Cloud. As examples. With a II and III version that targets multiple enemies. 

Vine Crush: vines spring up doing damage and holding target.

Spore Cloud: causes random status effects.

Claw Slash, Tail Smack, and Venom Bite; For physical attacks. With Venom Bite causing the Status Effect of Posioned. 

 

Wing: 

Race: Fiend. Magic type: Wind.

Another rescue from Dalton's experiments. Basically a birdwoman.

Not sure which time I want to put this Dungeon in. Probably Antiquity.

Need to look at attacks from flying monsters for ideas for her abilities.

 

Rock and Cyber

Will both be from the Future.

Rock being a human infused with Lavos traits by Dalton 

While Cyber will be machine based, possibly a creation of Mother Brian.

 

I want at least one of these new characters to have Drain/Syphon abilities that allow regaining HP/MP by stealing it from the monsters they are fighting.

More about the new characters and locations later.

 

Some other ideas

Add a food seller/vendor to the Millennial Fair and a few other places in the game. There are a few reasons to do this. The first being to save time later in the game. Hardy lunch, Spiced jerky, Sweet banana, ect. If you already have them you can just give them rather than running back and forth.

Also have monsters drop food items.

Teleport Toadstool and Phantom Fungus being a couple to use out of combat to get to places you can't otherwise reach.

Other food items restore HP/MP and remove status effects. Can be bought/sold at food vendors and some other shops.

Yes. Potions, Eithers, Elixirs, ect. Already exists in the game and this is a bit redundant. But it adds a bit of flavor to the game. Food items where the other stuff isn't available. And the Lost Santaum side quests had monsters dropping food, so I'm just building on that. 

I think that you were originally supposed to gather stuff and take it to the Reptite to get a Lunch for the Nu. 

Anyway this is just brainstorming notes for now. Someday I might try to make a novel out of the Crono Trigger Ultimate story thread I'm spinning here.
