Somehow I totally overlooked this back there. I'd be remiss not to mention it, so let us now correct this injustice!

A look back in time with Chrono Trigger

For Chrono Trigger fans, the Chrono Compendium is the best site on the net today. On top of their comprehensive game guides, character data, sprite sheets, scripts, and lively forums, they even have an impressive scan archive from books, magazines, soundtracks, and interviews from any number of regions.
I hope someday Mega Man will have a site as comprehensive and definitive in its coverage. Of course, Mega Man also has a ton more games and materials than the Chrono Trigger franchise... but, hey, can't hurt to dream.
As a fan of Chrono Trigger, the early rough sketches from Masato Kato caught my eye. Featured in the book Chrono Trigger Ultimania that was published in 2009 for the DS version release, it's interesting to see how Kato's early ideas compared to Toriyama's finished character designs. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you can check out the two pages translated by me here and here.
Thanks again to the colossal Chrono Compendium for the scans!

You probably wouldn't know it just from playing the games, but Duo is a space cop on a mission of interplanetary justice. Or so Keiji Inafune and passages like this one have suggested.

August wasn't my best month for blogging.

Sorry about that. Things got hectic, and I told myself I'd break until I could return to regular updates. Does this mean regular updates are resuming? I guess we'll wait and see.

I couldn't stop smiling.

One of my favorite costumes I saw at Otakon. I was only there for 20 minutes though, so undoubtedly I sampled only a very small selection of what took place there. It looked like hell to walk around in that getup, especially after the fire alarm went off.
Hats off to you, whoever you are.
There were really tons of people in impressive costumes. It looked like a lot of fun. I wish I could have spent more time there.

This was going to be Duo week, but I haven't had time to finish any of my plans. Maybe I'll have a duo of Duo weeks.
Yatta!

Hey guys. No, I didn't forget about blogging for two weeks in a row. Not me! I actually had something I started on last week, but I didn't finish it in time. Instead, enjoy this picture of Rock and Duo by Ryuji Higurashi. I do believe this was from before he started working for Capcom, and thus was only fan art at the time. It looks pretty sweet though. No wonder they hired him!
