1.) Release information

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chrono Trigger is copyright Square Enix. The Japanese script was extracted by JLukas. The three column format was arranged and presented by

ZeaLitY, who also edited and released the final products. Kwhazit translated the Japanese script and edited it for clarity and meaning. The script

prepared with the intent of preserving all original Japanese meaning. Interesting notes, important information omitted from the English version,

and certain difficult or strange lines are all annotated in the fourth column by Kwhazit or ZeaLitY. A comprehensive article covering major

differences can be found at http://www.chronocompendium.com/Term/Translation_Differences . Two versions of the script are available. One

marked "Dialogue Packet Edition" presents dialogue as found in the ROM. The "Game Order Edition" attempts to present dialogue as naturally

encountered in Chrono Trigger.

Please note that this edition still only uses lines once, regardless of how many times they appear in-game. This will make certain endings and

other areas (that rely on stock lines, such as "Not enough cash") seem to be empty.

Release

This project is dedicated to all Chrono Trigger fans, who can now experience a new translation that is free of the space limitations and errors

present in the original script.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
