Jeff AKA Snoopy 08/20/21 4:12:16 PM #1:	I do social media for a local video game store and they recently raised their prices for Super Nintendo Chrono Trigger carts. It seems that the prices have increased quite dramatically lately. Looking at Canadian prices on eBay the average for a legit cart with nothing else is in the $320-$400 range. --- https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:957273189] in Chrono Tri...

masterpug53 08/20/21 4:41:05 PM #15:	Jeff AKA Snoopy posted... Why is that? Ymmv, but I found the DS's retranslation to be hyper-literal to the point that it sucked a lot of the charm out of the characters (by comparison, I overall quite liked the FF 6 retranslation, something I otherwise had every reason to be resistant towards). I also wasn't very happy with the Final Fantasy homogenization of numerous item names. The extra content is also very controversial. I couldn't even get as far as the main postgame quest - and thus have no opinion on that particular content - because the previous quest of running back and forth between Prehistory and the Dark Ages building a fucking rope bridge was mind-numbingly awful. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - Artwork by Wii_Shaker <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:957273988] in Chrono Tri...
