Sequence Breaking Chrono Trigger Has Bizarre Effects | Sequence Break 

In defense of Magus, nobody can properly interact with Dalton. That man is a walking disaster.

1:38 That transformation from Magus to Ayla is pretty cool, not gonna lie.

The music hits hard every time man...that's so crazy.

Absolutely thrilled that you pronounce all the characters' names the same way I do.

Man, the modders behind Chrono Trigger + must have had quite a few of these instances to deal with when they allowed players to do some things out of order. One of the things you can do, is instead of leaving the End of Time to go to the Middle Ages, you can go straight to 65M B.C. to do the Red Rock quest. It lets you recruit Ayla right then, instead of having to wait for your second trip back when you tackle Tyrano Lair. Which means you can fight Masamune with Ayla. So they probably had to deal with her flying away at the start. You can also sub Chrono out of the party before the end game, which probably opened up even more broken events to fix or rewrite. Loved the video btw. Its always nice to get a peek behind the curtain, and Chrono Trigger is one of my fav games of all time.

5:00 Crono is in contempt of court!

I swear, the more I learn about Chrono Trigger the more I love it.

That's extremely interesting the developer organized character palettes so consistently, I never would have thought palette swapping between the characters would end up with such good results. Seems like hair color, skin and such share the same indices between palettes!

always had a soft spot for palette swaps and such. :) fun times.

Awesome, I was actually waiting for this series to come back believe it or not❤

Once while deactivating an instant-battle-victory Game Genie code in ZSNES it caused a weird glitch where I was able to equip any weapon on Robo, and he'd do full attack animations. This leads me to think that before they decided on giving him "arm" weapons he may have been intended to be able to equip anything. I remember giving him one of Magus' scythe weapons and he did a proper animation for the critical hit attack. However, it may be possible that like with the sprites this is something where certain sprites are simply chained based on a predetermined sequence and that they exist natively for all characters. In any case, it was kind of wild when it happened.

Aahhh...chrono trigger. Those tunes TOTALLY take me back.

5 years didn't feel that long.

Okay, but I genuinely want those palette swaps as available options in a mod or something similar now. Those're just too cool to never see again.

Goth Ayla is something I didn't know I needed.

funfact square commonly does their sequences like this. ff7 is a big example of many triggers always being active meaning huge chunks of the game are skippable if you can find ways to get to them. examples being sector 7 to sector 8. cosmo canyon skip. you can actually get vincent during nibelheim flashback (crashes game). which is a good thing they do this since if you were to actually skip chunks of gameplay some times you'd be locked out of going back to continue such as sector 7 to 8 of ff7. you can also see sequences breaks in ff10 such as skipping djose won't get you ixion but you can just go right on to shoopuff ride if you find a way to do it. not sure on other square examples at this moment though.

now THIS is the kind of stuff i originally hoped for with this series alongside normal in-game sequence breaking, messing with the game's data in normally impossible ways to see what it does in certain scenarios.

YES YES YES! I love Chrono Trigger so much, thank you for covering it, especially with Akira Toriyama's recent passing. It's good to come back to this classic masterpiece

Two things you missed. #1 What happens on Chrono's resurrection scene when you don't pick the characters that normally interact with Chrono. Such as Magus only, or a party without Lucca, Marle, and I forget the third person that interacts with Chrono. #2 Second, when visiting the rainbow shell in Guardia's basement, Marle has dialogue with the party members who remind her of something. What if only Chrono is in your party? Fun fact, if you bring Magus and Chrono, Magus' dialogue plays because Chrono never talks, and he calls Marle an idiot lol #3 Thirdly, and you somewhat covered this, but when Melchior makes the masamune, normally the game wants Lucca to be the one to help forge it, so she takes precedence over Robo. The only way to see her dialogue commenting on the completed masamune is if you do not have her in your party and have Robo instead. But when Robo is taken away, you specifically have to switch Lucca back in your party before going downstairs. It's cool the programmed Lucca's dialogue to be there. I discovered this many many playthroughs in.

The chancellor is gonna have a field day with the fact Chrono was also a warlord in charge of an invading superpower back in the year 600.

So, fun fact about the character swapping, making characters change palettes: that can be done in the vanilla game. In a later section where Robo is forced into the first character slot, he has a one-on-one boss fight, and after that fight, when your party is restored, note which characters are in slot 2 and 3. As long as you don't leave that screen, swapping them in the menu won't change their positions. Then when you go into the next encounters, one of which being that dungeon's end boss, those two characters will swap palettes with each other. Just...don't try this in the DS or any later ports of the game, as it'll just crash instead. XD

I always wanted a new Sequence Break, i never knew i NEEDED another until i saw this

Chrono Trigger is SUCH a great game that even though I've never even played it myself, it's still one of my favorites. Thank you for the videos as always!!

So _that's_ why it's called Chrono Trigger! 'Cause you need him to "Trigger" so much stuff.

HELL YES SEQUENCE BREAK IS BACK!

Please continue working on sequence break! An oft under appreciated topic, but one of my absolute favorites.

Sequence break is back!! I absolutely loved this series back in the day so it’s great to see it again!

Vinny is going to love this episode

I remember using Game Genie to do the walk through walls and it was glorious

"Kino just walks through it like a Boundary Break Episode" 😂

I beat Chrono Trigger for the first time a few weeks ago, so it's cool to see this video while the game is still on my mind.

My favorite thing I found while walking thru walls in Chrono Trigger was that all the Skyway/Land Bridge rooms are connected together as one big map.

“Walks through the door like a Boundary Break episode” hehehehe

Very glad to see this series return! Love the channel and all the unique series it brings!

Commenting for engagement. Keep posting, Shesez!!!

Chrono trigger was one of the first games that actually designed IN sequence breaks!! It's amazing development. How many endings? Lots... And MANY different ways to get there

glad to see sequence break back. would love to see more games!

One of the essential games of all time. Love it. Thanks!

The court! 🤣 “Well, he’s not here. Let’s just pretend he is!”

The greatest return I could imagine!

Glad to see a new video! Love this channel and all the sequence breaking/out of bounds stuff!

Hell yeah ! New episode in the series, and it's about one of the best games ever

Thank you for doing this. CT is my favorite game of all time and any time I can see it in a new light it brings me great joy. You did a wonderful job!

I'm soo glad you are doing more Seq Break episodes... unless this is an exception but either way awesome. Dude Ayla looked amazing with the Magus Palette swap.

7:45 In your defense and mine, they did not put an accent over the "e", so Masa-moon is how any western language speaker would pronounce that.

Happy to see Sequence Break is back. I always find palette swaps interesting, was definitely my favorite part of this video.

I just want to say "You got whacked cause you're weak"

Ayla turning into Launch made my day!

Already loving this “oops did I rhyme?” lol good stuff

Rest in peace, Toriyama

Omg my favorite series is back

5 years!? Great to have it back

SEQUENCE BREAK! Hell yes, so glad this is making a return

Love this Video!

Good video thanks for the hard work

Super cool that you brought this series back! :)

It's back!! Really glad to see this series return.

1:18 I didn't know this game was compatible with the SNES mouse ;)

I'm pretty sure the Lucca model that assists Melchior is a custom model not used anywhere else (I don't remember ever seeing that shaking-of-the-head animation anywhere else), which is why she'll always be loaded into Melchior's basement.

New sequence break all is well again

After having played Chrono Trigger vanilla for nearly three decades, I played through my first Jets of Time Randomizer version of it a few weeks ago. It's definitely interesting to see how a _real_ sequence broken playthrough of CT would look like instead of a carefully crafted one! :)

Great video! Fun Fact: A lot of these bizarre effects can be intentionally enforced in a lot of modern Randomizers for Chrono Trigger.

Im so glad i checked my subscriptions tab today!

Finally, after 3000 years...

Fav episode in a while! thanks!

In the prerelease version, Magus does have dialog on the Blackbird. So he was intended to be there at one point in the game's development.

That pallet swap stuff looks real cool

11:13 Ayla is just reaching out to the future audience and suggesting ppl to play FUGA

I swear even with the bell on it always takes a couple days before i get a notification about your videos. Glad to see sequence break again though.

amazing find :)

9 days late, but good!

Love this, keep them regular please 💛

Love sequence break, welcome back!!

If you clip through the sewer to Balthazars Lab in the future before your supposed to your able to talk to him and his Mu assistant.

Color palettes are awesome!

I hope this does well for you. Chrono Trigger is an awesome game and it's really interesting to see how the game handles certain triggers and checks. @10:22 - OK, that got a giggle out of me. Well done sir. Well done.

Shesez do really be playing Chrono Trigger Randomizer today

Wow, great!

That was interesting to see. I like seeing sequence breaks! I'd love to see Legend of Legaia sequence broken one day! Thanks for another great episode, Shesez!

If you use a walk through walls cheat, during the flashback with Lucca to save her mother, you can leave the house. I don't remember the exact specifics to what happens but I do remember there being quite a fair few side effects on the game. Might be something fun to check into at some point!

Wish you showed all the pallet swaps. Rest in piece Akira Toriyama.

The fact that he said, "Chrono gets to be a Super Saiyan" totally makes things come full circle, when we all know that Dragon Ball's creator drew up the artwork of the main cast, with Chrono having a strong resemblance to the franchise's cast of Saiyans. RIP, Akira Toriyama.

Perfect timing! I'm replaying Chrono Trigger right now

First time seeing a Sequence Break episode. It was great, would like to see more!

Glitch at 7:47 cracked me up XD

Totally need to play through this again someday soon

Sequence Break finally back!

Welcome back Sequence Break!

Trying to play Chrono Trigger without the Trigger for Chrono 😂

I don't know anything about Chrono trigger, but I love this video anyway! So fascinating! Thank you for all of your hard work!

i love watching these videos at night

Magus with Robo's color pallete looks a lot like Granolah from DBS

Perfect game to renew Sequence Break!

I like the concept!

Just started playing this a few weeks ago! About 30 hours in and it is truly a masterpiece!

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time too and I didn’t know any of this! Thank you for this fun look

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time also.

What a great episode this was. Thank you for your that.
