Chrono Trigger Script As I shuffle through the mass of literature that is Chrono Trigger sections will be added as they become transcribed. Chapter specific notes will be provided but as a general rule I have endeavored to show all possible dialogue a player may encounter, especially from all non-playable characters. As this will undoubtedly be a monumental undertaking it is well within the realm of possibility that I may make an error or miss a quotation. If this happens, or if you have any questions regarding what I have submitted, please contact me. I fully stand behind my work and ensure the following is exactly what is said in the game to the best of my knowledge. All punctuation is left as intended by the game, rampant commas and all. To accompany each quotation I have provided a sprite image depicting the character who stated it as well as their posture or expression at the time. This will allow not only for the statement’s full meaning to be known (such as the added knowledge a line should be interpreted as hostile if the character is shown in a menacing stance), but it will aide those who wish to seek out a particular quote during their play through of the game as it will be obvious which character to look for. For this I wish to express my gratitude to Video Game Sprites for their gracious allowance of these images.   01:  The Millennial Fair link to script Covers:  game's start to Crono's disappearance to 600 AD  Notes: It may be noted I excluded the explanations of all NPCs within the Truce Mayor's Manor as they solely serve as a tutorial of how battles, items, and other mechanical features of the game operate. Since there is nothing of interest concerning the plot it was omitted. So, too, was the line of the clerk running the strength game at the fair since he only stated what button to press to play the game. I also did not wish to include Bekkler’s statements since his explanations of the mini-games’ rules are likewise irrelevant. 02:  The Queen Returns link to script Covers: Crono's arrival in 600 AD to Lucca's arrival to the era  Notes: Exluded here are the nun's comments in the cathedral. Since they continue to say the same thing until chapter three, and considering the cathedral is a required area at that point, I've chosen to include the statements in the next section. 03:  The Queen is Gone link to script Covers: infiltration of the cathedral to the group's departure from 600 AD                                                             Notes: none 04:  We're Back! link to script Covers: return to 1000 AD to just before Crono's arrival at Guardia Castle                                                            Notes: Since the majority of the NPCs say the same things as in chapter one there is little to add here, which makes this the easiest to transcribe yet! =) 05:  The Trial link to script Covers: Crono's apprehension at Guardia Castle to the group's departrure from 1000 AD  Notes: The hassle accompanying this chapter is enormous as the course of the trial is decided both by Crono’s answers and his previous behavior at the fair. This results in many routes the questioning can take, all of which must planned for to see the full script. By playing the chapter multiple times in which different answers were given and acts performed I believe I have accounted for all possibilities. The line of questioning regarding ransom was the trickiest as the Chancellor will only drop the subject if Crono behaved flawlessly. In the end the combination of actions which most closely results in the provided script (and incidentally a guilty verdict) is: 1) not speaking to Marle first after bumping into her but grabbing the pendant immediately, 2) denying her the pendant when she asks for it back, 3) agreeing to Melchior’s request that she sell it, 4) eating the man’s lunch, 5) returning the girl’s cat, and 6) pulling Marle away when she shops for candy. 06:  Beyond the Ruins link to script Covers: arrival in 2300 AD to the completion of the jet bike race  Notes: Crono’s party members will make various comments inside the Sewer Access but this will only happen during the first visit to the area. The section is at present optional and if the player explores it now he will thusly miss the quotes given by Robo, Frog, and Ayla that might otherwise be seen had he waited until a later chapter to visit the sewers. Since the area is first made available now I am including here but will also include the other characters’ comments to avoid duplicating the scene later. 07:  The Factory Ruins link to script Covers: arrival at Proto Dome to departure from 2300 AD  Notes: The player can only choose one of the girls to bring to the factory, therefore text will be missed for the girl who is left behind. Since the only difference is a matter of three lines I have chosen to include both Marle and Lucca’s statements into the conversation where appropriate in order to avoid having to re-create the entire scene for the other girl. Just remember to read only one of the girls’ lines during the dialogue with the R-Series since this is how it is handled within the game. Also, the serial number Robo gives as his own slightly differs between the two releases of the game. In the Super Nintendo version he’ll state R66-Y whereas in the Playstation’s Final Fantasy Chronicles release it has been changed to R-66Y. The latter follows the same format used by the other R-Series and so it is what I regard as correct. 08:  The End of Time link to script Covers: the group's first arrival at the End of Time  Notes: There seems to be another slight change of dialogue between the versions in this chapter as well. After being told only a party of three may pass through a Gate the player is forced to leave one character behind at the End of Time. In the Super Nintendo version if Marle is chosen she will say "Decide, Crono!" which seems odd since the choice has just been made. In the Playstation release her line was changed to the more accepting "See you around." Also, this chapter marks the first in which the player can venture to the Prehistoric Age. Going there now will yield additional information from villagers in the Meeting Site. This part of the script will only be available until the end of chapter 11 and is often missed by players. By the time the quest for the dreamstone begins in chapter 12 the area will be closed in preparation for the feast and it will be impossible to read the villagers’ comments. The remaining villagers will continue to say the same statements now as in chapter 12, so I will postpone including them until then. 09:  The Village of Magic link to script Covers: arrival in Medina village to the group's departure at Leene Square for 600 AD  Notes: none 10:  The Hero Appears link to script Covers: return to 600 AD through the meeting with Frog in the Cursed Woods  Notes: none 11:  Tata and the Frog link to script Covers: exploration of the Denadoro Mountains to the discussion of the Masamune with Melchior  Notes: none 12:  The Rare Red Rock link to script Covers: arrival in the Prehistoric Age to the soup eating contest during the celebration  Notes: to come soon 13:  Footsteps!
