Chrono Trigger is my favorite game, an RPG with a great premise, combat, music and of course characters by the late Toriyama
#ChronoConcept is a concept project for an imaginary remake of the game

So lets start with Crono! Male and Female versions!

Thoughts in the al text!
#artpost #fanart 🎨

Crono, posing with his trademark katana and smiling. He looks a bit more boyish than in the Toriyama design and overall looks like a less polished samurai in training with wilder hair. Hes a samurai fanboy that lives in the sticks with his mom so I wanted to make him look a bit less polished than his original design

Crono, but now in female form. I really wanted the player to potentially have a choice in gender and then I wanted each one to have a different flavor. Female Crono is also a wannabe samurai but this one is more by the book, a bit more studious and maybe more into the proper sword forms. The hair is different but still hits the same vibe which is a mass of flowing red hair

Since female Crono is a very new concept I wanted to explore her further so this sheet shows some expressions and poses for the character. These poses show a confident, playful person who enjoys life in a big way but can still be a badass when needed

Its upsetting to hear of the passing of Tomonobu Itagaki. A flawed, competitive, game making genius. A complete cult of personality that burned as bright as possible to reach his goals. Its tragic that he didn’t get his chance to close out his career the way he would have wanted. RIP

OK so this is officially out. This pic was sent to me by a bestie who got his copy. I wrote the majority of this w the help of two homies (I know what I know and Sailor Moon ain’t it, so I recruited help). I took every single screenshot in the book and it’s packed with interviews.

This shit matters to me, I DO NOT like the 360. A console so unlikable that it came with a “we broke it” function. I still have mine and Id rather play the WiiU, at least that console had a better personality than J Allard wearing a hoodie over a sports jacket and Mountain Dew

PS6 in two years would cement the PS5 as my least favorite Sony console
PSX: the revolution, affordable, versatile
PS2: arguably the best console ever
PS3: weird motherfucker with a redemption arc
PS4: a mix of the PSX and PS2, almost perfect
PS5: cynical, greedy, arrogant and wheres the games?

All these Silent Hills and Resident Evils and other cool horror games and Im like, here, wanting to play them but with zero interest to actually play them because horror games somehow make me freeze on the spot

Id love to make one though

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 6d

I’ll probably play GTA 6, but to be honest I feel like the whole genre kinda peaked with Sleeping Dogs and I havent had the urge to play another game like that since

I dont think I have an anger problem, its more like an anger equation

I believe the fucker is senile as shit.

That being said, my dad is 81 and gets his blood tested every couple of weeks. His hand looks just like his.

For the London tabloids, Trump's mental illness is a major, front-page issue. For the US media, it's something that urgently needs to be swept under the rug. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

New conspiracies over Trump’s health swirl after CNN text interview

The president famously does not use email and is not known to frequently use text messages

Its crazy how much they fit into it. In my mind they just do the basic premise but they go DEEP into a bunch of storylines that really set the show apart.

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 10d

I just learned that one of my favorite Lupin movies, Wings of Death: Albatross, is NOT a movie, just a couple of episodes from the Lupin show and Im having a hard time processing this

Like, that shit is incredible, its peak, and its just there, season 4 of Lupin the Third, randomly

How powerful is Richter compared to Simon, Trevor, etc? Always felt like he was "supposed" to be the strongest but maybe just because of 90's vibes.

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 10d

Its not even a "git gud" thing. I kicked every bosses ass so far, no real problem. Its just fucking annoying.

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 10d

Heres a game design tip, having a quest where I have to traverse through 4 maps in order to deliver something with both time AND HP constraints is not fun, its a fucking put off and causes a flight response.

The flight response is the nearest available GOTY candidate which is also dope as hell.

Silksong is doing the same annoying shit Hollow Knight did in keeping a ton of content out of reach until I do some godawful fucking quests, so till then I get the "normal" ending

Like, its annoying, and Hades 2 is right there, so I started playing Hades. Its great.

Hey congrats! Looking good 💪

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 11d

Thats a crazy achievement! This feels like it went by incredibly fast, congratulations!

Xavi @ragingspaniard.bsky.social · 12d

Im gonna have to institute a new rule that if Im playing a new game and I already bought the next game up (Hades II in this case) then Im not buying anything new until I clear some room

Ghost of Yotei? Sorry, gonna have to wait.

and I dont mind that much tbh, lets the game get some patches ;)
