Did he have an actual personality? or was he just fully a self-insert?

Did he have an actual personality? or was he just fully a self-insert?

he seemed like the usual brave and kind hearted JRPG protagonist

In your case, he would have no personality AND be a self-insert.

The selfiest of self-inserts. If you you are a dick at the festival then you get called out during the trial.

He was a loser who collected cats while living with his mother, carried around a wooden sword despite living in peacetime, and his only friend was the weird inventor girl no one else cared for.

So other than having a female friend, I guess he was a self-insert for your average gamer.

I don't play any game that is purely self-insert. Most ATLUS protags, though silent, have some form of personality (sans P4 which is why I never really like Yu)

>literal selfinsert mc
This game was so bad

>I don't play any game that is purely self-insert. Most ATLUS protags

do you think he fugg'd Luca???

Nah. Lucca makes better toys than Crono can compete with.

do you think Lucca fucked Robo?

I meant that as SMT protagonists but you're still wrong.

Probably. Lucca also fucked Ayla once, but that was the alcohol talking.

CLANKED

It's supposed to be you.

I love toriyamas designs

What is the symbolism behind Chrono dying and whether the player chooses to revive him or not?

I love golden age Toriyama's designs. Today's designs are all a bit underwhelming.
He still can design Monsters and machinery, tho.

The MCs are used as self inserts but most of them at least have some personality
>Jamal is a fucking wall
>Joker is the quiet twink who turns into a cocky smug nihilistic prick when he puts on the mask

>Discovered emulators back when I was 16
>Would look up all the games to play
>Chrono Trigger was at the top of every list
>This fucking annoyed the shit out of me because I wanted to hear something besides "Hurr Chrono Trigger, Super Metroid, Mario World" for every list
>Get so fed up I try it out
>Ended up being one of my favorite SNES games AND JRPGs of all time

I don't love it as much as my friend who plays it every year with a different team, but fuck me this game is so goddamn fucking good.

DS version is the best because you get all of the shit the PS1 version added, but without bullshit load times, AND a new dungeon and boss.

>Persona Protags aren't self inserts
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH ITSSA SPICEY WEEBBALL

>>Jamal is a fucking wall
That's... not a personality.
It's like saying Red from Pokemon is mysterious and dark because he speaks in ellipsis.

Pay attention to what's being said. They're self inserts in the modern sense, but besides Yu they're not entirely blank slates for you to project yourself onto. They have personalities, to a degree. You're just supposed to insert yourself into that fantasy.

But it's still a personality. If I knew a dude who went around barely emoting and shit, I'd say he had a personality, just a weird ass one.

>They have personalities
>FATlus's actually believe that
OOOOHHHH ITSA SO SPICEY

did you learn your lesson to not be a filthy contrarian memer user?

Look at you, you pathetic waste of space. You want to know who really doesn't have a personality? You, you fucking redditor. You're a thief of jokes and memes.

>MFW you hit the nail on the head and the Weebs get butthurt

I still wanted some actual goddamn variance, though. I ended up torrenting every single NES, SNES, and Genesis game there is for my Wii after I modded it. Something like 900+ NES games all by itself, if you include all the rom hacks I got.

It's a pretty neat thing for when friends come around. If we can't think of something to do we just boot up my Wii that has literally fucking everything on a 32 GB card.

Which came first, Chronos or Trunks?

Because it seems like one inspired the other.
Time travel, the sword, pretty similar appearance.

Chrono.

>tfw I played this for first time last year.

Did you ever play Arena? Yu has a personality in that.

>Chrono Trigger
>1995
>Future Trunks
>1991

Pretty sure it was juice they were drinking that night.

I just got to the flying city where I activated the pendant

I am getting a bit bored...
still I agree it's a great game

btw I'm almost 30

why would he play a noncanon entry?

Some people like fighting games? Isn't enjoyment more important than canon?

>"RPG"
>game lets you name character
>character has "personality", full voice acting. and backstory
>only similarity it has to an RPG is stats
does this shit get on anybody else's nerves?

A proper self-insert would let me romance Lucca.

I understand completely. There were so many better games on these systems yet every time I read articles or see people who are into video games asked what's their favorite video game they always reply with the same tired cliche Zelda response. I dare you to find a top ten list that doesn't have that game on there.

don't play jRPGs then
most would be better off as anime tbqh

I know good and well that game is definitely not on my top ten.

I'm playing DQIV and just got through Rosehill's boss fight. Where the fuck do I go go? Is it wrong I'm using a guide to get through the game? Will I need a guide to play through later games?

>implying I was describing an RPG of the japanese origin

alttp is overrated shit

Oh user, you so innocent

A proper self-insert wouldn't suggest I marry Marle of all people. Literally who would marry Marle over the qt nerd?

Yup. Nice, fermented bowls of juice.

Hit the nail on the head with what exactly? You didn't make a point, your reply to him was a grade A shitpost.

...

...

Fine, don't play Eastern European RPGs then
I wouldn't know, RPGs in general seem to be bad games in general

Is it Crono or Chrono?

chrono
it means time in greek

Chrono.

In the game it's Crono but I think that's because the SNES version only allowed for the name to have five characters.

DS version is Crono too.

Krono

Yeah but they probably kept it because that's how it was in the orginal version.

But they added a space so you could fit in Chrono if you wanted to

>t. Person with a five letter name who was forever doomed to be "Rand" unless I used my middle name

Shit fucking sucked back in the day

>not abbreviating it to Rndy

>And here he is, the great hero Rndy

I was already pissed off enough that my retarded child self constantly named the Zelda hero LINK for years

>My perfect 100% save file on my SNES cartridge is LINK
>Same for OOT and MM

Rand is infinitely better than Randy Bobandy.

Since I've already revealed myself anyway you have no fucking clue how much of a fucking nightmare my senior year in high school was when that shitty family guy joke happened

I guess it's better than being Randall from Recess

>mfw there isn't a single cool Randy/Randall in any work of fiction

I mean Randal from Clerks is pretty cool

At least if I use my middle name I get to be the fucking guy from God Hand

Just because it's all upper case letters? You are me. You have no idea how things like that bother the hell out of me.

P-Plague?

Yup. I forget what it was but I remember a few RPG games that do not let you use lowercase AT ALL.

I think it was the original Genesis Phantasy Star games.

>Did he have an actual personality
No.

I like to think that Kino is a cuck, Ayla fucked Chrono at the party and in the reptite ending, Ayla was mind broke and raped by the reptites

Marle's breasts

kys lolicon

What are you the time police?

maybe I am, kiddy diddler

Meet me at the Ocean Palace 12,000 BC at 10 a.m. and we'll take it from there.

*SNIIIIIIIIIIIFFF*

Please stop. I'm more handsome than both of you.

You think norstein bekkler is a citizen from zeal?

ahahaha
