@max3000: I just got it on the other video that just came up. I figured it'd be best not to try it on the one EVERYONE is going to look at. Heh.

Yep, but it was a great one. Maybe the best cutscene on 16-bit consoles, and it was great to see it unfold in front of two(?) unsuspecting players.

I never understood how the Twin Golems fight works either. I had Brono and Bucca's last techs so I just exploded them a lot. I hope they figure out this prison break part quickly, like I didn't.

Wasn't expecting that.

So glad I'm going into this ER cold (I think I did the part up to the future before but that's it). Loving it so far. Don't understand the people who said CT would be a terrible game to ER?

They trip up on things that require basic reading comprehension, but they easily figured out the hardest enemies in the game?

Alright! Things are picking up. Holy fuck, the shit really hit the fan in this episode! What a great game; that cut scene was awesome, the SNES could crank it out. I especially like the tidal wave effect. A mix between a porcupine and a vagina? Is that why Ron Jeremy is called "The Hedgehog"? Vagina dentata... Me no rickey; that little girl's got the jones.

Finally, Bucca's back! Let random chaos reign. I like how there was no warning Brono would disintegrate; it just happens, deal with it... Cool! Now I'm on board some hardcore endurance running. Destroy the kingdom of Balton!

Interesting boss fight with the Golems. It looks like they do shit for damage when they are water, so it seems like it'd be best to water them, and then start triple raiding the one until he dies. That way you are really only taking high damage from one at a time.

Maybe that won't work, I have no idea, it's been many years since I played this game. I remember relying heavily on Falcon Strike when I played through it.

Who thinks they are either going to completely miss or Murder Magus? I think they are more likely to miss him but I give it a high chance of murder if they find him.

Hahahaha I love how quickly and relatively painlessly they figured out the Golem Twins, it really does make how bad they struggled with the Red and Blue Scouts even more hilarious. I also look forward to reading the comments from the people who piss and moan about how Ryan and Patrick "aren't playing it right" as if it some personal affront to them. I doubt many of them figured out this boss battle so quickly. I know I sure as hell didn't.

Magus has to do what's right for him because it's Magus' time. Up there! Down here, it's Brono's time!

Jesus Christ, I read this in Vinny's voice, first go, without reading his name as the uploader. That...was weird.

i put armor on that gave me half back and then forced them to use those skills, brog ended up doing the whole fight himself since he used water and when they used it they healed him full each time.

I can tell they're invested in this game the way that a major character death is met with extreme apathy.

This episode is what I remember the most about Chrono Trigger; just being upset and confused after losing the character with the best gear. Everything else is a fuzzy haze.

What do you want them to do? Burst in to tears? It's a video game. Like most video games the story is kind of hackneyed and the emotional moments are clumsy, overly sentimental and cloying. If they aren't invested in the story, it's because the story isn't worth investing in.

@Neurotic: They did very little exploring, but you could have at least 3 Red Vests by this point, equip those and physically beat them down since that 5 fireball attack is fire-based, you'll be healed, in which case you can not die basically. I always used Ayla(Byla) and Crono(Brono) for this entire area, because it was too much of a pain to switch magic for the scouts, so I just used AoE physical attacks.

Good work, glad to see they figured that one out pretty fast. The Ocean Palace Incident is a pretty interesting point in the lore of the Chrono universe, so many of the links with Trigger and Cross (and I suppose Radical Dreamers) comes from that moment. Took me a while before I exactly figured out EVERYTHING that happened during it though. Such great story for the time.

Not too surprised they are confused, I didn't even fully understand everything that happened in the Incident until finishing Cross and Radical Dreamers both.
