I'm told "Aerith" is an anagram for "I, Earth."

...THAT is probably a coincidence.

Beat the boss without taking a single hit to get the Alien Badge.
If for some reason you forget this objective, bring up the map during the battle.

Re: Chrono Trigger retrans?

Anyone think Chrono Trigger should be retranslated? I mean, in game...they call beer soda. And instead of demon they use the word "magic" instead. I bet this would be good if it was retranslated. Anyone agree? I bet you're one of those people who calls Aeris "Aerith", right? :ro...

well there were threads similarly unrelated, so I thought it would be fine, I suppose I am sorry. Nearly all of them are related to translation or hacking ROMs, or bugs that pop up as a possible result of the two. Don't worry about it though, now that you know. Anyway, GameFAQS doesn't say anything...

I still see no need or reason for a Chrono Trigger retranslation. Well, if someone WANTS to do it, that's reason enough, I guess. What people do with their free time is their business. Though I do agree, I don't see a point in it... Ah well. At least they're getting hacking practice and experience ...

I love this quote: I know some people got furious that the names were changed, but to be honest, the games were meant for a broader audience than the one which buys and plays Japanese imports.

Semantics have bit me in the arse... I meant that Japanese's kanji are similar to big words in English. I did not mean that kanji are big words in Japanese, nor that a hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic person would have an aversion to kanji. "Blaze" or "flame" are a bit longer...

It's possible to communicate in written Japanese using only Hirigana or only Kanji No. Japanese *require* hiraganas for grammatical structures. Once the context is set, there are only so many stuff you can say in a kanji or two about it, then you usually add a new element in the context, and you ne...

not really languages, just character sets. Standard uses are: Katakana - Used for names/foreign items/etc Hiragana - Native Japanese words, names, etc Kanji - Compounds of commonly used words to help identify what you mean when you speak a word. For example, the japanese word for a frog is kaeru, k...

Japanese has a much bigger alphabet + Kanji set, but the actual script should be shorter than Enlglish, because there are generally far fewer letters to a word. I'm no hacker either, but from what I've heard about text compression in hacking ("This water is cold" has more letters than &quo...

The previous incarnation of the site mentioned something about a Chinese-language mirror. I clicked the link once out of curiosity, but the link was dead.

I think.

This was a while ago, and my memory is pretty poor, so I might be very wrong about it.

If you clear the sacred passage with a low time, then instead of Quote, you see a different character at the title screen. Also, the theme music changes. If you beat Ballos with less than six minutes on the timer, you see Curly and hear the Sacred Passage theme song. With less than five minutes, you...
