I could do without the HP bars and little graphic changes as well, but Frog's dialogue just feels off now. I suppose these nitpicks wouldn't be an issue for a brand-new player.
I feel some of the changes were warranted because they "unchanged" certain contextual shifts that the original translation unintentionally introduced. For example, Frog's _ye olde speake_ gave the impression that he was a very proper, respectful, polite person. But in the original Japanese, he's actually much more brash and "when in doubt, hit it with a sword". He uses "less than polite" speech with most people, except *very* few individuals like the Queen. But then, when you fight Slash in Magus's castle, they treat each other very respectfully as fellow swordsmen and are each honored to fight (and, afterwards, Slash is honored to be beaten by) such a skilled opponent. But, in the translation, Frog goes from uncharacteristically polite to uncharacteristically insulting to a fellow warrior; instead of respect, it's an exchange of flaming banter. And the flashback scene to Glenn's childhood, when Cyrus chases off the boys messing with him, it wasn't that Glenn was afraid of *being* hurt. He was aware of how strong *he* was and knew that if he fought back, the *other kids* would get hurt. But that didn't really come across well in the original translation because calling someone a "marshmallow" tends to come off as "physically sensitive" rather than emotionally. But then, on the other hand, there were quirks of the translation that were not only good enough in relaying the meaning, but they also became _iconic_ (but you're still hungry). Changing those to a more literal translation gained nothing, but lost the iconic feel of the lines. So I approve of the changes that brought a better picture of the original context and avoided _unnecessary_ changes. But I don't like the changes that not only didn't do anything to provide a better or more true translation, but also lost iconic charm in the process.
@@rafetizer you mean the dialog feels correct? how is you wanting the game to be worse a "nitpick"? its straight up dumb the correct translation holds way more weight in scenes i dont see how having some cringe incorrect translation would make the game better apart from if you're blinded by nostalgia the modern UI is ugly though

Me too. I was born in 1980. Ff6 came out and I got it shortly after I was in a bad accident at 14 years old and got me through that. Not to mention years later in my life. I'm 40 and I still pick up FF and CT about once a year

@@irwinvillanueva1308 Correct regarding Frog's speech in the original. You can probably find the full script on Chrono Compendium still. That said, I think the translation team eventually wanted to make everyone speak like Frog does in the SNES translation, but for whatever reason, wasn't able to make that a reality prior to release. It's been a while, but I don't think it was supposed to be "Proper," but more like a... I guess "Samurai" cliche? If you go to Chrono Compendium and look up the Translation Differences page... "Frog was radically changed in the NA version from his original characterization; he did not speak formally and was not the cookie cutter white knight, instead having more of a activous tone. The horrible Elizebethan English of the NA game made Frog seem somewhat of a flowery buffoon; the transition to real dialogue makes him much more serious and real. He was also not afraid to call Magus a pale-faced bastard, or Ayla an idiot for believing him a meal. A good example of his attitude is found in the End of Time dialogue. "Frog: Nothing's going anywhere if you don't have a guy who's good with a sword, right?""
The music was done by Yasunori Mitsuda with help from Nobuo Uematsu of Final fantasy fame. Also, this is the first game I ever fell in love with as a child back on the SNES, just replayed it recently myself.
Seeing it through your eyes for the first time made me so emotional. - 40 year old guy who first experienced this as a teenager. You brought me back to all the emotions I felt as a kid so thank you 😭
41 here. Sadly I missed out on it when it was new but I discovered back in the early 2000s when I was into emulation and roms. I remember just listening to the music without doing anything cause it was so good. Its amazing how this game, its cast story, etc. can still affect people.
Same, except I'm 41. This was the first game I ever paid for with my own money and one of my all time favorites. Watching someone else experience it for the first time is definitely very impactful.
Chrono Trigger is a really great game that covers many audiences if you think about it. You can avoid the fights if you are actually a hardcore player but if you're a casual player you are forced to fight them. BUT that basically forces the casual player to get stronger from EXP and leveling. So casual players don't think it's grinding they think it's part of the game. While the game gives a lot of exploration and secrets to uncover for the hardcore player.
I played through this game a couple of months ago for the first time ever. It's SO good, and the soundtrack is one of the best on the snes! Usually I give up halfway through games these days but I'm so glad I played this all the way through. So many cool side quests too
I'm proud of you for finding the dancing part of the festival. I never even found it as a kid, I was always ashamed I didn't explore the fair enough lol
I have no idea how many times how many times I have played Chrono Trigger in the past 20+ years. I played it again last year for its 25th anniversary and I still love it to pieces. The characters, the music, the locales... it is all so good. Have fun! Miss the Woolsey-isms though in the DS and Steam versions. It gives the game a bit of different feeling. At the beginning when Taban asks Marle if she wants to back out of the Telepod, she says in SNES version: "No way! Throw the switch!"
My favorite game of all time. "At the bottom of the night" my first song I learnt on the piano. Just a wonderful game, so glad you got to play it! All the voice acting and emotions were on point!
I wish you to feel the same love as I still have for this timeless masterpiece... even 26 years later, I still enjoy it. To me it aged so well. I remember when I played the PS1 version in 1998... when I saw the animated cutscenes, back in the day, I thought I entered a new dimension! I almost couldn't believe my eyes... not to mention the OST... simply perfect.
This is one of my all-time favorite games! I played it as a kid, and just a couple weeks ago, replayed it for the first time since. I was worried it might have just been nostalgia, but it was even better than I remembered it! Especially since I can better understand certain themes now as an adult than I could back then. Now, seeing someone else experience it for the first time is just as magical and emotional. I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!!
I'm pretty new here, so I'm really excited to see I hopped in at the right time to watch a reaction of one of my favorite games of all time. Hope it's a good one.
I don’t know how I came across this channel, but this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it was seriously the CUTEST thing! This brought back so much nostalgia and your reactions reminded me of how I felt the first time playing through. I hope you make more of these. You packed a lot of gameplay in one video! I subscribed. Instant fan!
Here's a quote from Yasunori Mitsuda regarding it from I think 2008 "It certainly is the first time I've seen this. I'm surprised! That's the first time I've heard of Rick Astley, and it's interesting that such a phenomenon is happening in a different country"
This game, like so many other people holds a special place in my heart and will continue to do so until the day I die. I was 14 when this game came out and it got me through the most difficult months and years of my young life. What a joy to watch someone play this for the first time. Vicariously experiencing the first time moments again was truly epic and very special to me. Words can't express. Thank you for posting this Sarah, subscriber for life.
I hope you'll love this game. This was the game that got me into JRPGs when Square was dishing out hit after hit in the 90s! There's so much that happens in this game and I'm excited for you to experience them for the first time!
I have played this game countless times ... I know exactly what is going to happen and yet, i still got damn emotional while watching this video ... The Frog scene always gets me. I'm so glad you are loving it as well, this is such a masterpiece. You have earned a suscriber, love how attached and immersive you are getting, this game is just something else.
It makes me happy to see someone play this game and experience it for the first time. I was 10 when this game came out and it’s one of my prized possessions and I still play through it from time to time even today and pick it up every time it gets a rereleased. I do wish is could go back in time and play it for the first time. As for the music, I want some of these tracks played at my funeral that’s how good the soundtrack is. Thank you for such great memories of taking me back to my first time playing this game.
If you didn't know, Akira Toryamia did the character designs for this game. That is why the feel is Dragon Ball. This game's soundtrack was mainly composed by Yasunori Mitsuda with a little help from Final Fantasy mainstay Nobau Uamatseu. Mitsuda couldn't finish the soundtrack due to stomach ulcers. 9:55 IT IS NOT SLIME, IT IS MUCOUS
I am a simple guy, I see Chrono Trigger, I hit Subscribe. Also, enjoying the pleasant voiceovers. I hope you enjoy this game, it was before its “time.”
Played FF7 for the first time 6 months ago....it was OK. Then played this for the first time....wow. What a difference. This is one of the finest games ever made. Need to play FF6 next.
It makes me so happy how much you're enjoying this. This is my favorite game of all time, there is so much love poured into this tiny game by de developers, and that can be seen not only in the little details on the screen but the world-building, the story, the characters, and even the combat system.
Alright, the videos for this are finally coming out! I remember watching the original streams. Of course, seeing as how I love your content AND Chrono Trigger quite a lot, they certainly brought me great joy, which I'm definitely ready to feel again right now. Also, congrats on reaching 100k and getting verified!
@@VirGnar Yeah, unfortunately. She does keep certain ones over on Twitch, but she didn't keep these ones, sadly. But, at least we're getting videos here.
It is always such a wonderful experience watching people playing a game I loved from my childhood. Thank you for letting us experience that again with you!
An absolute classic. One of the best games ever made, hands down. I hope you do Chrono Cross next. It's not as good, but i think it's a masterpiece in its own right.
Frog is the only frog I've ever liked. Best teammate hands down, in almost every RPG I have ever played. Healing, dope double and triple techs, and top tier offense? Game, set, and match. Im 33 now and i played this when it came out, the nostalgia and music hits hard. One of the best games ever made, I hope they remake this game. It deserves it.
This is the best coincidence ever. I just started a new playthrough 3 days ago and now you're playing it for the first time. I hope you keep this going.
Dear Sarah Key, it is so nice to know that nearly thirty years after its release, this amazing title did not lose but instead has maintained its value. Hopefully, if the rumors are true, Square Enix will remake this incredible JRPG. I wish you and your channel continued success. Have a great day!
Its all the little things that make this game so special for me...and the music of course. The dialogue changes between story beats. Hidden interactions like the curtains at the very beginning. Replay is through the roof thanks to the multiple endings and how some interactions can be changed by doing some tasks out of order or early. Like Xenogears another title that a remake is desired but will NEVER happen.
I love Chrono Trigger I played it on Super Nintendo it really reminds me of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and all of the Dragon Ball series as well but it's just so hard to play I'm just going to keep on trying.
I love love love love love chrono trigger so much!! Yes, the music is amazing and it keeps getting better. The story is amazing. You're going to love this game so much! I'm excited for you!
I know! It's awful how it was just cut out in favor of the pointless PS1 CG in so many of the re-releases.... IMO those PS1 cutscenes only exist as a way to tie the game to the story of Cross, which is a game I appreciate the merits of, but do not regard as a real sequel or cannon or truly connected... it was certainly something aesthetically exquisite and fun and worth playing, especially when it first came out, but it does such a disservice to the original in fundamental ways, that I can't ever think of it as truly connected... more like a trippy dream to check out if one is curious nowadays, whereas Chrono Trigger will be a classic forever. I can't believe people used to serious debate about this when Cross was more relatively new... and hell, I know that feeling of wanting the new album from your favorite band to be as great as the others, and you can even convince yourself it is for a week or two... it feels so shitty to realize that something you expected to be wonderful and magical is merely another flawed creation of flawed people, and the perfect masterpiece that happened to appear previously was a rare gift, not something to ever take for granted... and eventually, it makes one's appreciation of those rare as-close-as-it-gets to perfect things that much deeper for it. Didn't mean to go on so long sorry lol
Sorry, I didn't realize I was saying "Chrono" wrong LOL
It happens... but never underestimate we nerds and our fixation on pronunciation! You monster!
Lol I'm so excited you've started Chrono Trigger ⏳ This has been my favorite JRPG since I was 10 so I really hope you enjoy this one 💙
This game is a masterpiece

The biggest tragedy of this version is the change in dialog. While this version acknowledges that the developers' intent was that our heroes were actually hungover after the prehistoric party, they took away Frog's ye olde' speak, and, we also lost "You are a marshmellow Glenn".

I feel some of the changes were warranted because they "unchanged" certain contextual shifts that the original translation unintentionally introduced. For example, Frog's _ye olde speake_ gave the impression that he was a very proper, respectful, polite person. But in the original Japanese, he's actually much more brash and "when in doubt, hit it with a sword". He uses "less than polite" speech with most people, except *very* few individuals like the Queen. But then, when you fight Slash in Magus's castle, they treat each other very respectfully as fellow swordsmen and are each honored to fight (and, afterwards, Slash is honored to be beaten by) such a skilled opponent. But, in the translation, Frog goes from uncharacteristically polite to uncharacteristically insulting to a fellow warrior; instead of respect, it's an exchange of flaming banter.
And the flashback scene to Glenn's childhood, when Cyrus chases off the boys messing with him, it wasn't that Glenn was afraid of *being* hurt. He was aware of how strong *he* was and knew that if he fought back, the *other kids* would get hurt. But that didn't really come across well in the original translation because calling someone a "marshmallow" tends to come off as "physically sensitive" rather than emotionally.
But then, on the other hand, there were quirks of the translation that were not only good enough in relaying the meaning, but they also became _iconic_ (but you're still hungry). Changing those to a more literal translation gained nothing, but lost the iconic feel of the lines.

This is one of my all-time favorite games! I played it as a kid, and just a couple weeks ago, replayed it for the first time since. I was worried it might have just been nostalgia, but it was even better than I remembered it! Especially since I can better understand certain themes now as an adult than I could back then.
Now, seeing someone else experience it for the first time is just as magical and emotional.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it too!!
Aww! I love this game! One of my favorites of all time. Enjoy the ride!
I'm pretty new here, so I'm really excited to see I hopped in at the right time to watch a reaction of one of my favorite games of all time. Hope it's a good one.
One of mine, too!
Oh my god, i've replayed this game so many times during my life because it's just that good! Have fun!
I just got 2 star on a strong character's magic. She was my last one. Our mage was the last character to reach level 99, aka 2 star
Olympic in Tokyo, when they played the Frog’s theme, OMG, I’m crying.
The final boss second phase theme "world revolution" is awesome.
I don’t know how I came across this channel, but this is the first video I’ve seen of yours and it was seriously the CUTEST thing! This brought back so much nostalgia and your reactions reminded me of how I felt the first time playing through. I hope you make more of these. You packed a lot of gameplay in one video! I subscribed. Instant fan!
Every JRPG is just a contest to see how fast Sarah gets the feelz =D =D
Glad you're enjoying the game! Me and my friend started playing it on my channel a few weeks ago, this is my FAVORITE game
"The music is really pretty."
Be excited, this game has one of the best musical scores of all time.
Dude this game is still to this day the #1 game in my opinion. Number. One.
@@Johnny-dj4xe This game is the peak of all video games ever created still to this day.
@@bachelorsensei9437most people don't understand how this was way ahead of it's time. The 90s was sick
One of my all time favourite game i like all the story in the game 😆
*Robo appears* NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP-
what the....why have i never realized this..
Are you saying Chrono Trigger rickrolled us in the 90s?
@@eccemono6534 yep
Here's a quote from Yasunori Mitsuda regarding it from I think 2008 "It certainly is the first time I've seen this. I'm surprised! That's the first time I've heard of Rick Astley, and it's interesting that such a phenomenon is happening in a different country"
Now the song is stuck in my head 😂
This game, like so many other people holds a special place in my heart and will continue to do so until the day I die. I was 14 when this game came out and it got me through the most difficult months and years of my young life. What a joy to watch someone play this for the first time. Vicariously experiencing the first time moments again was truly epic and very special to me. Words can't express. Thank you for posting this Sarah, subscriber for life.
I hope you'll love this game. This was the game that got me into JRPGs when Square was dishing out hit after hit in the 90s! There's so much that happens in this game and I'm excited for you to experience them for the first time!
Ya ff6/CT/Secret of evermore etc
I have played this game countless times ... I know exactly what is going to happen and yet, i still got damn emotional while watching this video ... The Frog scene always gets me. I'm so glad you are loving it as well, this is such a masterpiece. You have earned a suscriber, love how attached and immersive you are getting, this game is just something else.
This is the most beautiful game I have ever played.
Mad props. You had all the exact same reactions I had when I played this for the first time as a munchkin. Nostalgia overload! XD
I whish I could experience this masterpiece for the first time
What I love most about games from this era is that the music lives with me to this *day*.
This was my first rpg..This brings back memories 😊
It makes me happy to see someone play this game and experience it for the first time. I was 10 when this game came out and it’s one of my prized possessions and I still play through it from time to time even today and pick it up every time it gets a rereleased. I do wish is could go back in time and play it for the first time. As for the music, I want some of these tracks played at my funeral that’s how good the soundtrack is. Thank you for such great memories of taking me back to my first time playing this game.
If you didn't know, Akira Toryamia did the character designs for this game. That is why the feel is Dragon Ball. This game's soundtrack was mainly composed by Yasunori Mitsuda with a little help from Final Fantasy mainstay Nobau Uamatseu. Mitsuda couldn't finish the soundtrack due to stomach ulcers. 9:55 IT IS NOT SLIME, IT IS MUCOUS
I emulated the game yesterday on my Android ( PSX version) and the intro alone is a whole beauty in its own.
I am a simple guy, I see Chrono Trigger, I hit Subscribe. Also, enjoying the pleasant voiceovers. I hope you enjoy this game, it was before its “time.”
Played FF7 for the first time 6 months ago....it was OK. Then played this for the first time....wow. What a difference. This is one of the finest games ever made. Need to play FF6 next.
It makes me so happy how much you're enjoying this. This is my favorite game of all time, there is so much love poured into this tiny game by de developers, and that can be seen not only in the little details on the screen but the world-building, the story, the characters, and even the combat system.
This brought back all the feels. You vibe playing this was everything!
Alright, the videos for this are finally coming out! I remember watching the original streams. Of course, seeing as how I love your content AND Chrono Trigger quite a lot, they certainly brought me great joy, which I'm definitely ready to feel again right now. Also, congrats on reaching 100k and getting verified!
Where is the stream for this? I take it she doesn't archive them?
@@VirGnar Yeah, unfortunately. She does keep certain ones over on Twitch, but she didn't keep these ones, sadly. But, at least we're getting videos here.
It is always such a wonderful experience watching people playing a game I loved from my childhood. Thank you for letting us experience that again with you!
23:00 - that dog surely loves Chrono Trigger.
Fun fact, Akira Toriama was on this project! The art IS from Dragon Ball
So great to watch you playing another of the great classics.
of course you love the music , its yasunori mitsuda the legend of xenogears and xenoblade ost
An absolute classic. One of the best games ever made, hands down. I hope you do Chrono Cross next. It's not as good, but i think it's a masterpiece in its own right.
So proud of you hitting 100k. Can't wait till 500k and beyond!
The entire reason I subbed was waiting for this game.
Frog is the only frog I've ever liked. Best teammate hands down, in almost every RPG I have ever played. Healing, dope double and triple techs, and top tier offense? Game, set, and match. Im 33 now and i played this when it came out, the nostalgia and music hits hard. One of the best games ever made, I hope they remake this game. It deserves it.
This is the best coincidence ever. I just started a new playthrough 3 days ago and now you're playing it for the first time. I hope you keep this going.
Dear
Sarah Key, it is so nice to know that nearly thirty years after its release, this amazing title did not lose but instead has maintained its value. Hopefully, if the rumors are true, Square Enix will remake this incredible JRPG. I wish you and your channel continued success. Have a great day!
Its all the little things that make this game so special for me...and the music of course. The dialogue changes between story beats. Hidden interactions like the curtains at the very beginning. Replay is through the roof thanks to the multiple endings and how some interactions can be changed by doing some tasks out of order or early. Like Xenogears another title that a remake is desired but will NEVER happen.
I love Chrono Trigger I played it on Super Nintendo it really reminds me of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z and all of the Dragon Ball series as well but it's just so hard to play I'm just going to keep on trying.
Ugh I am so jealous that you were able to experience this game for the first time. The magic of the first playthrough is incredible.
I remember playing this when I was nine in 1999 and thinking Lavos about to come and end my world lol
In all these years, I never knew you could close the curtains in Chrono's room!
I cant wait for more of this series! I cant believe this game has never been on my radar before!
"OMG THIS MUSIC" - me during the entire game my first time
Clucking like a chicken causing all the Mayor's descendants to be greedy stingy guys is wild 😂
My absolute favorite game of all time, and one of the major reasons I eventually went on to became a designer/developer myself😊 Hope you enjoy it!
I love love love love love chrono trigger so much!! Yes, the music is amazing and it keeps getting better. The story is amazing. You're going to love this game so much! I'm excited for you!
11:49 Almost choked on my coffee, was not expecting a lewd joke in this wholesome vod lmao
Sarah: *goes right to 1999 AD*
Anybody who's already played: OH NO
The SNES intro is SO much more of a hype.
I know! It's awful how it was just cut out in favor of the pointless PS1 CG in so many of the re-releases.... IMO those PS1 cutscenes only exist as a way to tie the game to the story of Cross, which is a game I appreciate the merits of, but do not regard as a real sequel or cannon or truly connected... it was certainly something aesthetically exquisite and fun and worth playing, especially when it first came out, but it does such a disservice to the original in fundamental ways, that I can't ever think of it as truly connected... more like a trippy dream to check out if one is curious nowadays, whereas Chrono Trigger will be a classic forever. I can't believe people used to serious debate about this when Cross was more relatively new... and hell, I know that feeling of wanting the new album from your favorite band to be as great as the others, and you can even convince yourself it is for a week or two... it feels so shitty to realize that something you expected to be wonderful and magical is merely another flawed creation of flawed people, and the perfect masterpiece that happened to appear previously was a rare gift, not something to ever take for granted... and eventually, it makes one's appreciation of those rare as-close-as-it-gets to perfect things that much deeper for it. Didn't mean to go on so long sorry lol
Agreed, SNES opening was better.
This game doesnt need a remake. It is just perfect, and i still playing it in 2021
Agreed. A modernized version would wreck what makes it work.
Omg, I'm so jealous you get to experience this game for the first time! It's so great!!
The music sounds so beautiful I'm so glad that you are excited to play this 😊
Marle is secretly Dexter's sister confirmed.
Ahh one of the best of all time!! You'll have to try and get all of the like 10 different endings!
