I wrote this post up as fast as I could. In fact, I haven't even had the chance to try these games out yet. That's because by the time you read this, they may be gone. Square-Enix is notoriously ruthless about taking down fan games, so get on this while you still can.
There are two games in question here, the previously squashed Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes and the newer, weirder Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity. After a few minutes of research, I'm getting that Flames of Eternity is based off of Crimson Echoes, and that the writing in both games can be a bit... off putting. Talking Chrono is particularly annoying to some fans, but hey, this semi-new, 100% free Chrono Trigger we're talking about! Only the most depressing amongst us will complain about that.

Lol, this is the internet, they're not going anywhere.
Looking forward to playing them though.
And yes when I booted it up it had Crono talking from the get go and I still cant get used to that. Its like Link, you just dont do it!
And now to immortalize them both in a single torrent. Viva la revolution!
No matter, apparently they're all over the bloody place now lol, thanks Holmes!

also what emulator can i use to play this on the pc?
I'm fond of ZNES, but BSNES is a good one as well, though finnicky at times.
I second ZNES, it's my favorite SNES emulator.
I love fan games as the better ones usually are really fun expeiences.
BTW do you play doujin games. Theres some great games to come out of C79
you really must play,
Crimson Clover by Yotsubane (A shmup and a really good one at that)
Ougon Musou Kyoku by 07th expansion (A 2D fighter looks really good)
Touhou Koumajou Densetsu 2 aka Touhou-vania 2 by Frontier aja (Castlevania clone
If you love 2D action games you owe yourself as a gamer to check em out
Its really wierd how Japanese companies allow and even encourage doujin fan games in Japan as they know its free PR. But as soon as some western fans do the same they are straight onto their lawyers.
Stinks of double standards and maybe its a case of racisim against us "gaikokujin" that commonly rears its ugly head every now and again
That would be totally awesome.
*whistles innocently*
I'm just saying... It's possible. Though who's that awesome, really?
Why not start the torrent and do something manly for an hour, like bend girders into origami or punch orphans until their DNA matches that of childless couples?
wait, its nt funny. its downright idiotic. and also we still have yet to see a console kingdom hearts while the handhelds are getting once a year!
if it wasn't for dragon quest, but thats really level-5.
