AHHHHHHHHHH OMG AHHHHH HEART ATTACK

CHRONO TRIGGER FOR DS!?!?! IS IT TRUE OR JUST A CRUEL JOKE, THE SITE IS FILTERED AT WORK BECAUSE APPARENTLY IT'S A "GAME" THAT I CAN PLAY ONLINES WHILST I'M SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Well, you may not be able to see this either - I can't - but it's an official Squeenix site for something about CT!

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

GHHGHAAGGGHHHGGHHHHH FOAMING AT THE MOUTH

(I am so excited yet this is still just another jab at my heart because more than anything I want FFVI for the DS!!!!! T_T They're like, "we're gonna take on a million other awesome projects before we even think about redoing FFVI, suckas")

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

(Ah, but I'm looking at it in terms of "Hey, we haven't forgotten about these old-school games that are still really fucking good, guys" which means that FFVI might be in the future.

BECAUSE, UM, LKASJDLKASJDKL. TERRA AND CELES IN 3-D. FORGIVE ME WHILE I GO EXPLODE.)

[mad-rex.livejournal.com]

Hey, they remade FF4!

They also remade Dragon Quest 4...and now they're working on 5 and 6.

Good sign, maybe? (I hope I hope I hope)

A 200-person melee at a Fort Myers gas station early Monday morning started over a pack of cigarettes: A stolen pack of cigarettes, of course. The mob violence began at, of course, a teen club and then spilled over to the “Racetrac gas station.”

Hey, I live there! I was pretty sure no clubs, let alone teen clubs existed in this town. Must investigate this matter further, so I know where to stay the heck away from when said teen club is in operation.

Oh, wait, the newspaper link explains much. Yup. Totally not surprised about what happened.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

You were part of the melee. Don't lie! XD

[pearlrose86.livejournal.com]

Totally, why not. I needed a bit more excitement in my life. XD

Also, since I didn't comment on Chrono Trigger news yet...I really need to get a DS.

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

Between the FF Advance games, FFIV DS, and now Crono Trigger, I'll pretty much die happy with my DS. (Can you tell what my gaming genre is? ;) )

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

Chrono Trigger without the DragonballZ-esque animation PLZ?

Also:

- I weep because I grew up on Molly Ringwald's movies. I know she took time off to have kids but honey THIS IS NOT THE SHOW.

- I'm so going to schedule the doctor's appointment TODAY.

- I've been reading a ton of feminist articles lately. I am so glad I don't want kids.

- Actually barcodes have a lot of info on them. They probably have things like the pattern size, which is the actual size, not the inflated vanity size that they often put on tags.

~Cendri

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

(a) Well, then, that barcode thing would be fucking awesome. Because I'm really tired of being a 4 in some stores and an 8 in others. I don't have time for this crap!

(b) I cried a little when I saw Molly Ringwald's name. Sweet merciful jesus.

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

(a) Like, my pattern size is a 10. For realz. They've slowly been lying to us about sizes, making larger sizes have smaller numbers to trick us. It's the only way to explain how I actually DID grow and still remain a size 3 (ish. I'm like a 2.5 in vanity sizing)

(b) It's just not right! Molly DON'T HAVE A MIDLIFE CRISIS. NOT LIKE THIS. YOU MADE ME EVENTUALLY DYE MY HAIR RED (which I need to do again, I miss red hair).

Also, I'm going to link this in my entry, but look what I made for Jana's Seifer costume.

I'm thinking about making some steampunk!Quistis hairsticks for you. Y/N?

Man, and here's me about to emulate Chrono Trigger.

(Should I put Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross at the top of the list?)

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I would love to see you play CT! It is a really, really, REALLY AWESOME GAME. I don't know anything about what's coming out on the DS, or when (obviously). I have the SNES version from way back once upon a time, and the PS version.

Crono Cross I am torn on. I've heard it's a really cool game, but I never personally got into it that much.

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

Chrono Cross is what got my little sister into video games. And I used an Air Force printer to illegally print a game guide for it.

I thought it was basically awesome. But it has a Harlequin speaking in a French accent, which basically makes my life (I wish I were kidding, but as she as she appeared my life was awesome).

Also, the soundtrack.

~Cendri

[mad-rex.livejournal.com]

I didn't like Cross much either...the first time. Then, years later, I heard some samples of the soundtrack, and I couldn't believe I forgot them. I ended up replaying the whole game for basically the music, and this time I liked it a lot. Still too many characters and not enough connections to Trigger, but a good story, and a neat battle system.

(And did I mention the soundtrack? Because jesus.)

[astrangerenters.livejournal.com]

ZOMG who will they hire to be Chrono's voice actor?!?!??!!

Wait...

*imagines that Lucca will sound like Velma from Scooby Doo*

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

HA HA HAHAHAHAHA. YES. PROBABLY.

Chrono's voice actor will be the same as Red XIII's in Advent Children.

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

But Chrono didn't even talk in the original!! How can they go from zero lines of dialogue to voice acting??

They should hire someone to do Chrono's voice, but he won't actually say anything. They'll record his silence, and he'll still be credited as VAing for Chrono.

[katmillia.livejournal.com]

YOU REALIZE THAT RED XIII'S VA IS KAIN, RIGHT???

I <3 Lewis Black.

And I love taking my mental health day when CT WAS ANNOUNCED cause .... yeah, that's making life awesome right now. I MIGHT BE LISTENING TO OCREMIXES FOR IT NOW AHAHAHAHAH!!

[mad-rex.livejournal.com]

Ah hah! Here's the squee I've been looking for. *grins*
They're saying Winter 2008 now, I think. Cannot come soon enough.

Unfortunately, they're also saying port...but hey, I'll take what I can get. I'd buy a copy of Radical Dreamers untranslated at this point if it was for a current system. squee!

Also, new Lewis Black book? Awesome! (I wasn't a big fan of his first one, but that sample passage is gold.)

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

I'll take a port. I've had plenty of fun playing IV, V, and VI Advance in the GBA versions... a port of CT is A-O-K with me!

[mad-rex.livejournal.com]

Plus, if it's an Advance-style port, we'll at least be getting a bonus dungeon.

And some new items.

And maybe some new double/triple techs? (like for, I don't know, Magus?? Plz plz plz)

[safety-caesars.livejournal.com]

Okay, now that I'm home and I can see the website:

WHAT A TEASE, GOD.
