Talk:Crono

Name debate
Despite the fact that people will commonly state the "5 character limitation" as the reason that Crono is not named Chrono, this is likely a misconception. The only evidence pointing to this is the similarity of his name to the title. Obviously, if Square wanted the ability to add another character to a name, they could have programmed it into the game. If one looks at Chrono's Japanese name, written in romanji the characters come out to be "ku ro no". Obviously, as Chrono and Crono are pronounced the same, this could mean either of them could be correct. It's not a completely solid conclusion to assume anything...
 * I own the original (english) game. The instruction booklet refers the hero as Crono. -- ReyBrujo 03:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

Official Japanese merchandise romanizes his name as "Chrono." It hardly to stands to reason that the developers would have altered the game's code -- a bigger undertaking in 1995 than it is now -- for the English release of a Japanese game when they could simply strike a single letter from his name without altering the pronunciation.

I prefer the spelling 'Crono' personally. The 'H' makes it look weak. And if the instruction booklet uses 'Crono', I'm not gonna argue (even if the promotion material contradicts that). User:CronoDroid

Well, either way, the english version of the game romanizes it as such...discrepancies with the merchandise aside, if the game itself is romanized to that, Crono seems more valid...but then again, it's not exactly a definitive conclusion.

I say we redirect "Chrono (Chrono Trigger)" to this articles, as the book says its the Cr combo. After we go for some pie, my treat, what do you say? Ash link 19:46, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

General CVG character
This article is currently a testbed for a unified computer/video game character infobox, General CVG character. It uses a series-specific subbox, Chrono Trigger characterbox.

Input on this infobox would be appreciated; note that the addition of things that would be obvious to readers unfamiliar with Chrono Trigger (such as what game is involved and the character artist) is intentional. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That is similar to what is being used in the Sonic article. As far as I see, it seems pretty useful. I may suggest collapsing the in-universe information, though. -- ReyBrujo 03:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Collapsing it in what way? It's intentionally kept separate from the real-world information, to separate the real from the fictional. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Adding a Nav section to the in-universe so that it could be kept hidden. Just a touch that may be useful if there are spoilers in the infobox. -- ReyBrujo 03:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Augh, those end up looking horrible, and that would mess up layout being at the top of the page with text flowing around it. If you can think of a good way to do it, go right ahead, but I don't think it's a good idea. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:21, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Apperance
It's stated in the article that Crono's apperance reminds many of Goku. I disagree. His hairstyle is more like SSJ1 Pre-teen Gohan. And his hair and eye colors look more like SSJ4 Gogeta. I feel the inaccuracy should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.254.66.184 (talk • contribs).
 * I believe that is just an original comparison. -- ReyBrujo 19:52, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I think He looks like Tapion from the DBZ movies, but that doesn't mean that many people think so. I suggest that the comment be removed. Eric Straven 19:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
