Chrono Trigger DS, the failure.Follow

You can get all characters renamed near the end of the first game. The NPC is a blue goobbue looking monster in the burned remains of the prehistoric village after Lavos lands in 65 Million BC.

Considering he said Gren and not Glen I think it's a JP Rom with an engrish patch.

P.S. - Glen is Frog's real name if you never played before.

Restating what trith has said. It ain't the game's fault.

I always named Frog Glen anyway, and I always named Robo as Parts.

cos he's you know.. made out of parts

I was young, sue me

I call shenanigans, I tried just now to name my character Chrono and it wouldn't go past Chron. If I typed 'O' at the end it would just change the 'N' to an 'O' and make it Chroo.

Example1. Example2.

It should be Crono. I thought he's called Crono without the h because the game only limits character names to five letters, but that doesn't seem to be the case. In my SNES Chrono Trigger manual as well as on the box, it says Crono. Chrono Trigger as titled is named after an item that is in the game. Why would the creator of that item named it after someone he haven't met if his name is Chrono?

Anyway, I don't see what was wrong with the Frog name. His real name is revealed later in the game anyway and it gives players some curiosity about the character until then.

Ah, I thought it might be an emulator... but was confused when you said "In my DS game..." in your first post... now I realize that didn't mean an actual DS .

I "swear" my Crono is named Chrono.

I've actually run into stuff like this before; such as Digimon World DS games. The digimon have full names when they are NPCs and random battle mobs but when you try to rename one you created you get screwed over on the letter allotment. What sucks even more is that you can't keep the default name, the game forces you to rename it to a bastardized version, like the Chrono to Crono problem.

It's not the problem. Crono has been the real name since SNES :)

Of course it's rumored that it was Crono in SNES just because the 5 character limit... but that's the original name and it's been that since the start.

weird, on the copy Ive got i could put another letter and make it cronoo.

Everyone who "swears" they had their character named in 6 letters please show some courtesy to at least check again. TirithRR is right, and he done his homework. Get yours done.

What region, cause I'm sitting here with it in my DS too.

I'm using the Japanese release of the game (cartridge in the DS).

Ok, just down went and purchased the North American release from Wal-Mart.



Seems one of the only differences between the Japanese and North American release is the Japanese kept the old 5 character limit, while the North American increased it to 6.

The name still defaults to Crono in both releases though.



Edit:
In all my screenshots I purposefully timed it to show the underlining cursor. When there is an extra space the cursor is in the blank space, not under the letter. The Japanese screenshots are real and show a 5 character limit.
