Hello! My Chrono Trigger Album "Beyond the Flow of TIme" from 2021 is now being released on Vinyl! For anyone interested, it's available to pre-order on https://softboirecords.com/

Shipping is estimated for June/July this Summer.

I'm about to replay Chrono Trigger for the zillionth time. Previously I've beaten it on SNES, PSX, and DS. For this playthrough I'd like to know if there's a consensus or general way to identify the de facto best translation.

I think there are two main translations, correct? One is the original SNES translation (by Woolsey), and then later versions around the DS era did a re-do.

If at all possible, if you're able to give even one or two particular examples of why you like that translation better than the other, I would be fascinated to learn about that from you.

Secondary Question: Does anyone know of a source that has detailed notes on the Japanese writing in Chrono Trigger? I was recently reading some notes on subtleties in the Japanese writing and would love to have more information like this.

I have tried xaby, I have tried xyba, I have tried holding the l&r buttons as I input xaby, but nothing works. I'm playing the game that was made for the DS, but each time I press xaby nothing works. When I press x I don't hear a chime, when I press a I hear a chime But the text disappears, and when I press b The screen that Chrono is standing in front of turns off. I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong, or if it's something wrong with the game, but if anybody knows how to help me get past this door, please help
