Any good RPG enthusiast knows the moment you utter the words Chrono Trigger, you are speaking of legend. Back in the days when Square didn't make six sequels to every game, this epic adventure engaged many a gamer with its unforgettable characters and remarkable storyline. In a testament to the title's lasting impact on gamers, the Chrono Compendium has lovingly retranslated the entire game, opening up such goodies as the Japanese-only ending art.
This ought to be exciting news for major Chrono Trigger enthusiasts, especially if you cannot read Japanese. A complete list of the differences in the two versions is avaliable at Chrono Compendium if you want to check out what you're getting into. As we know from the unforgettable All Your Base, those few mistranslated words can make a huge difference.

Nice translation.
I remember when the game first came out my family was going on a trip to disneyland, so I packed up my super nintendo and spent most of the vacation in the hotel room.
I was tempted to get the Playstation remake of it but something about increased load times leaves me just plugging up my SNES and enjoying it there. I need to get a Wii.
Fucking Weeabos need to get a life.
If a new CT game comes out with the original cast and battle system I might as well give Square my wallet and tell them to take what they want. If there would be a game that makes me buy a PS3 that would be it. Even the remake some people were doing made me shit my pants before they got cancelled by SE, so a new game would be... I don't think there is a word for that.
Hmmm why did I get hyped like this again?
In the retranslation you can clearly see certain things were kept pretty close to their original counterparts, but some things had massive changes, such as the characterization of Frog and several other major characters in the story, not to mention particular scenes. Most things aren't nearly as important, but for big fans of the game, finding out what was really going on is often important.
Discovering the true intention of the creators and writers isn't being a weeaboo. So, take a chill pill and stop jumping to conclusions.
