Maetch 2008-09-12 ch 1,	abuseCompared to all your other non-Mega Man game novelizations, Chrono Trigger is still the best of the lot. You stay true to the source yet develop deeper, give lesser characters a voice without making them sound cheesy (especially the ever-mute Crono), and basically end it all nicely without forcing a Chrono Cross reference in it (I agree, it wasn't necessary to mess with CT's perfection). Just one thing... by all means, the sword (and its respective imps) should be called "Grandleon". It's not a Masamune and looks nothing like a Masamune. That's the only thing I would alter. Other than that, nothing else.
pokemon-35055 2008-08-21 ch 20,	abuseThis fic was best chrono trigger fic that I have read to date.
The Revoker 2008-06-08 ch 20,	abuseThat was such a great story! feels like bawling from reading the authors note, ignoring the random person placing a 'Kick the Emo' sign over his head I don't know what to say except you did an exquisite job with this tale. Congrats!
A Chrono Trigger fan 2008-04-08 ch 20, anon.	abuseWow, this is a very good novelization. From start to finish it was made in a very good way, and your own original changes only made it better (especially everyone fighting Lavos at the end). Also the way you make them get the optional stuff and the skills, it was good. Now to a not-so-good part. I'm not complaining, but you make Crono be the leader all the time (except when reviving Crono, of course, and your own Black Omen part), unlike the game that anyone could be the leader even at the final battle after reviving Crono. It would have been good to see how they interacted with Crono not being around (again, not counting the before mentioned parts). But, it is your story, and I did not have a problem when reading that. Just to put how I think about that detail that is lacking in this story. Now, this is more of a personal preference than a problem with the story, but after playing the game in its original dialog (Japanese), I now find it less enjoyable to me after knowing all those changes made in the translation. They are too many to mention them here, but some are to big for me to ignore (Like this one: There is no Masamune in the original script, the sword's name is Grandleon (even Masa and Mune are called Grand and Leon, respectively); makes sense, since the Masamune is, in reality, a katana). This is just a personal view so the story is really not affected by it. It's still a good work on your part to novelize it. And it can be one of the best in novelization. Not many can do that and still make it different from a carbon-copy of the original. It is a good work, that probably took a long time to make, and that every part of it is living to the potential it deserves. A really good work, and don't let the opinion of just one person (who, actually, stills find this a very enjoyable and well-made story) stop you, and keep writing knowing that many people out there will enjoy your stories. I know that you have made others apart from this one that probably are as good or more as this one, so I know I'm probably doing an unnecessary advice. Anyway, farewell, and that your future stories may be as good as your first ones.
jfr07 2007-05-08 ch 20,	abuseThe best novelisation for the best game ever. Your Characters were unforgettable (SPEKKIO!)
Plasma Knight 2007-04-17 ch 19,	abuseThis is an awesome story. I don't have the words sadly, but it rules. Well done Magus!
WhiteWings88 2006-10-16 ch 20,	abuseI've lost count how many times I have read this story, making it all the more embarrassing that I never actually wrote a review for it. Good Lord, shame on me. (coughs) Well, firstly this is a delightfully creative and well-planned fic (hard to do when there's time travel involved, eh? Hehe). I never played Chrono Trigger before reading, and I went and got the game to play it when I did (I really wish I could have all party members for the last battle like it was here so badly). It has such a great story that you conveyed very well here. The characters are unforgettable, and there's so much emotion involved. I also liked it very much how you made it that Robo had emotions in him before Lucca fiddled with his CPU, unlike how the game had it. All in all, A plus. PS After reading a little on Chrono Cross' storyline, I felt very cheated on what was said to have happened after Chrono Trigger. Makes no sense whatsoever. I share your feelings in that regard. -Angie Prime
DRew O'Connor 2006-02-07 ch 14, anon.	abuseOMFG!! THAT WAS AWSOME! YOUR CAPTURED THE GAMES PLOT PERFECTLY! GREAT STROY! THIS IS DEFEINETLY GOING IN MY FAVORITS!
Greever 2005-10-05 ch 20, anon.	abuseIn short, I love this. It's creative, funny and manages to keep the epic feel of the game. The characters still feel like themselves, if not a little bit different. Even though I've already played the game and know what's going to happen I still couldn't stop reading this. You've done something with the characters, settings and story that's not only intriguing but also refreshing. The only complaint I have is that sometimes your writing is a bit thin. Details can do a lot to make a text more interesting to read.
Miriamir 2005-10-04 ch 20, anon.	abuseOh DAMN! That was GOOD! I REALLY ENJOYED. You wrote it really nicely. I feel sorry it's alredy over. Characters were just as much, maybe even more loveable than in the game. Only couple of spelling mistakes, but you don't even care about that kind of stuff when you read something like this. Also Erico did good work at the Marle's scenes. You made many radical changes, but they made the story even better. Absolutely my favourite fanfic so far.
Lan of Dusis 2005-07-07 ch 20, anon.	abuseO.o I
shootski 2005-05-08 ch 18,	abuse"Let’s hope it doesn’t come breaking through a wall or something." ROFL part deux, even more genius.
shootski 2005-05-08 ch 16,	abuse"He went Maverick"! ROFL, that was pure GENIUS.
Dracis Tran 2005-04-26 ch 20,	abuseAll I got is that it's amazing, just like the game. I had to break out the music at times I was so excited! Anyway. I'm toasting to Chrono Break... if they ever finish it. If it's better than Cross, anyway.
Thanos6 2005-04-25 ch 20,	abuseHey, that was pretty damn good. I liked all the pop-culture references scattered throughout, and every change you made was for the better. (Especially liked Gaspar's "Side Quest Stones.")
