CTRP, if you play it with the new content, will have some new sidequests and oodles of easter eggs (little hidden jokes and such.) I'm sure you have some ideas for some of these!

One of the ideas I was going to suggest when the time was right if we had a mini side-quest of sorts where the team and people on the forums hid items called their names in the game (i.e. You got TheBrain!). When opened up in the menu, you could see the picture of that person.

Give us some inspiration!

I like that idea. I think it'd be cool if you could collect bromides of the characters too, like the concept arts or pictures from the CT official guide or something (like that cute comic at the beginning of the Japanese guide!) I also think that there should be a secret dev room (or dev room ending). ^^

Oh, and you could always add the Singing Mountain and Sealed Paramid dungeons back in. Maybe they could have some sort of super powerful items within them, or maybe new skills? Like a third tier ice spell for Marle, or some sort of advanced awesome sword technique for Chrono or Frog. Or maybe a secret boss who's like super powerful?

What else... You could always foreshadow CC a little better, and maybe tie up some loose ends--though I don't know if you want to go into CC's territory too much.

Oh, and maybe a collisium? Those always go over pretty well. Or an unlockable sound test?

I'll probably be able to think up some new things in a little while. O__O

Wow, Celera, those are all great ideas! I especially like the idea of the coliseum and to put in the dungeons. I didn't know about the Sealed Pyramid, it sounds very cool and UT2004 comes with some great stuff for a pyramid environment.

The dev room ending...we are definitely going to have it in some way or form. We have thought about putting ourselves with the original programmers in that ending, or making new conditions that have to be met (a good idea would be to finish the new side quests to unlock it) for our very own ending.

Keep 'em coming!

-Knives

Ohh--that's a good idea. That way they can get the original dev room ending, as well as ours. ^^

The Sealed Paramid is that thing north of Medina. I saw some pictures from the beta version of CT, and it had some underground areas, that looked like the inside of the Black Omen and Ocean Palace.

Mmmmm.... (Thinking of ideas...) Maybe you could add in some games to the Millenial Fair?

Actually, I wish we could do something with 1999 AD. I always wished that you could wander around in there before Lavos blows everything up, to get a feeling for what the world was really like before Lavos awoke. It'd be cool if when you take the Epoch there at a certain point, you could land it and enter some buildings before triggering Lavos's arrival. Then you could see the panic of the people, random building smashy, ect...

But dang, I don't even know if that counts as a sidequest. That's almost like adding to the actual game.

The future pre-Lavos, eh? Well, we could do it as an extra way to fight Lavos, so that when he pops up, you get to fight him with a cool little background that has fire raining down and all.

Oh man, that'd be so sweet. O____O

Yeah, maybe when you go to Lavos through that bucket at the End of Time, it sends you to like the morning of Lavos's arrival, and you can go to the field where he'll pop up and select to wait for him. I was dissapointed when you went to 1999 AD that way in the original and all you did was pop up at the moment he did. ^^ You could even do that with the Epoch, unless you select to ram him with it. LOL

Extra character costumes. That's what I'd like to see.

/Galidan

Oooo--that's cool too.

Add one more extremely powerful boss at a time before time, call it "The Beginning of Time" or something where nothing was created.

Since Lavos has always existed when the earth was born then maybe there's a being that created Lavos, call him "The Creator" or "The Old Ones" or something. But it would really be cool to have another extra boss. This might be the one that unlocks the CT:RP team ending ;)

OH! and if you are adding an arena, then the best place to put it will be at the fair. Make it unlockable somehow. :D

:huh: Wow I remember a similar thread from way back... okay I think it was pretty much the same but eh.

Well though I suggested this way back in case no one remembers, you could go on a hunt to find the oldest Nu, grampa Nu or ancient Nu or Wrinkly Nu, whatever ya wanna call it. It could be this Giant Old looking Nu that you have to battle or complete a quest for and he can give a tech rock that would summon him to do so screwy tech.

I like that bromidie Idea, though if you guys are still afraid of getting in trouble with square it might not be the most secure idea out there...

Theres always the do the quest for Mechlior to get that damn sword he has at his house.

LAVOS THINGY: Holy poo, do I have some awesome ideas for this. If we do this, I call rights to make the cinematic for it. I can see it now...the party standing in the middle of a city, people panicking all around them, buildings exploding, fire raining down from the sky...wow. I could have some serious fun with that!

COLLISEUM: How about in 65,000,000 BC? There's not much else to do there, really, and it could be like a training facility or something for Iokan warriors.

NU/MELCHIOR SIDEQUESTS: Sounds like fun.

Great ideas guys, give us more!

-Knives

Hee hee, I like the way you think, Knives. ^___^ Ahhh--the coolness. ^^

I definitely agree about putting the collisium at 65,000,000 BC, since that's like the most boring era... I mean, once you get Epoch, the only real reason to go back there is to change character names. I also think the Nu miniquest would be cool. Maybe you could put him in the Dark Ages (after Zeal falls) since, again, there's not much to do there once you get Epoch flying. Fighting Lavos at the beginning of time sounds cool too. I imagine the party standing on Epoch like when they fought Dalton, only the background would be all crazy and dark like.

Hee hee--I just thought of something interesting. You could always make the board members secret bosses in the collisium. ^__~

i just thought of something really kool that if the team allows for that to happen (the whole make the board members secret bosses thing), how about each board member (that actually posts and is part of this community) draws a sketch of their own boss to put in the game, and you guys can pick like the top 5 or 10 out of all of them, and put them in the game for the collisium. sounds awesome no? gives the board members a chance to create something for the game you know
and for the beginning of time thing, sounds awesome you guys should do that, like fight this humongous monster that had made lavos in the beginning of time, and like you could make it like near the ending so that when the CT party thinks of where did Lavos come from, they can choose to go there. anyways the ideas so far are great, good luck CTRP team!

:huh: I like that idea but the problem with it is that not everyone has a scanner.... Like me for instance.

It might be a better idea to have collisium in the future cause then you could have whatever creature you wanted there. And have bountyhunter missions in the prehistoric for prizes, like Alyas club, hunt monsters and rogue lizard people.

I think some more missions that have you up againts ozzie slash and flea would be good. Maybe chase them around the time line till they get stuck at the end of time, which is where you fight them in CC. Course then Ozzie's move would be a problem but I never said it was a sound idea.

The collosium thing could also be something for the end of time. I mean at evry direction from the central square there's something to do, except for 1 side.

hidden optional bosses the likes of ruby and emerald weapon ftw! o/

lol trust me your not the only one, i dont have a scanner either, but also you got to think its not like they are gonna do this within like days or weeks, it might take months, its a pretty big game, and plus they're adding to it. So hopefully it'll be enough time so everyone can get a scanner, and for the people who live with your parents and are under 18 who dont have jobs (me) beg your parents everyday for a scanner and do anything you can to get one lol, anyways i was thinking, i'm not really fond of the whole ozzie slash and flea thing, they are annoying as it is, lol, and for the collisium at the end of time, thats a good idea yea, but i dont know, you also have to balance everything together so that you wont have too much to do in just one place and nothing in another place (hence 12000 BC when the Zeal Kingdom fell) so yea

Or you could always tell us what you look like/want to look like so we can integrate it into the game's graphics. You'll all have to be redrawn in the style of CT anyway, since it'd be spooky if realistic people were wandering around such a cartoony world. ^^

yea that too, i already know what i want to look like, lol i have it pictured in my head already, i might draw it sometime today

:huh: lol ha, skinny white guy with dark hair, glasses and is in need of a shave. :lol: Just gonna have to buy me self a scanner if they decide on that I suppose.

im not doing ANY more models with facial hair, end of discussion.

Hehehe

:lol: :huh: lol :lol:

I'd like to see the saved future, that was mentioned in other fourms. Maybe more of a ingame seen, or maybe full access.

Also, how about red gates for more people? That could provide deep insight in more storyline.

Speaking of storyline, the Magus's diary idea has to be put in.

Another idea would be access to the sun keep in the zeal days. That would be awesome.


Umm...Thats all i got for now.

:huh: Don't see the sun keep one panning, it would conflict with getting the sunstone in teh future, maybe as a sight seeing tour or something along that lines.

Red gates?

red time gates*, that would be cool though, to get more people and stuff.

I think after you kill lavos you should be able to fly around with epic. Fly a little southwest of porre and there should be a little chain of islands. when you fly over them the location name should change to 'El Nido Archiplego' but you shouldnt be able to land on it or anything.
I think it would just be a cool little tie in to CC to fly around and see a new little chain of islands there. anyway , just a thought for a little easter egg.

Ya, Red Gates. Like the one lucca went into, and you can save her mothers legs if you stop the mechine. There should be more for other people. :D


And, i didn't mean you should get access to the sun stone, just the sun keep. Like your able to walk in and all the charecters go "wow" "ahhh" "ohhhh". Just thought it would be cool to gain accesss to it when it was in its prime.


I not sold on the archiplego idea, as i never really like CC. But if it was done, when the epoch rests on top island, and you access it, instead of landing, it should show the epcoh fly over the CC world map.

:huh: I kinda figured you ment as a tourist attraction.

Just flying over would probably be the best idea if they add the archipelago

I think it might be a cool thing to have a quest that describes what masa mune and doreen actually are, like there past and how they were created, or where they are from.

Yea that too, plus what happened to doreen also, no one knows where she dissappeared to...hm...

anyways, i found this picture on rpgmaker (verison i have no idea) anyways its a picture of wats supposedly a "heaven" picture but to me it looks way more like a collisium type place here it is :



well thats it, but instead of in the sky it could be either in 12,000 B.C., or at the End of time, it'll look hot though, but yea im just trying to give ideas if you guys are going to do the whole collisium concept

I like the El Nido idea, but we shouldn't do anything past the location name.

I think a lot of these ideas are cool! The Red Gate idea is the best IMO, cause t'll explain a lot more about the other's past. Like Marle's could be about her mother or something. The Sun Keep idea is also another cool idea, as well as the un0ruined future. I've always wondered what'd they'd look like.

:huh: It be cool to have the collosium in the end of time, the whole audience could be nu's of all different shapes and sizes and dressed different. "everything begins and ends with Nu" could he have been speaking of human evolution?

Does Nu (Or something similar to Nu, which it was based from) mean 'nothing'? I heard that somewhere, but I can't remember. Maybe you could see how the Nu's were created, and why they're in every time era. Lame I know, but I'm bad at ideas! :P

A side mini-game could include bowling, or using a T-rex to go bobbing for those little lizzardmen in a pit or something.

An underwater world would be interesting with some mystic ruins, that you could get to in the Future (1999) by using a submarine of some sort that launches from where the ferry would have run in the Present time.

But still I would like to play with Gato/Gonzales in the party.

Underwater ruins...I likes it :D

Topic pinned.

Umm...you could make like another secret passage in zeal to like the place where they called the healing place (not sure what its called :P) ya know the little island by itself. You could find like another character or something....OOH!~! or you could get like a little village started lke in the dark ages after zeal was destroyed... you could recruit people to like do certain tasks like the carpenter in 600 AD that fixed the heros grave where you get Frog's Updated masamune. He could come in with his team after you like take them to a gate and take them with you...or in an updated epoch...THAT COULD BE A SIDEQUEST TOO!!! you could like get the epoch bigger so you can have more than 3 in yer party so you can do like a tech where frog crono magus and lucca do a quadruple tech in which magus throws his scythe at the enemy and frog and crono do the x strike and lucca does napalm...

Well imk out of ideas...oh congrats celera for making the team ^_^

:huh: Love the t-rex idea, bobbing for lizzies ha. That underwater idea is pretty cool to, though I think the transportation should come from the sewer, maybe a tunnel or you have to jump in and swim through a hidden hole in the sewer then it pans to the overworld map to your chracters swimming underwater.

that diamond place is visitable in the present, its where you get to choose between to different items, the citiadel on the left is the sun palace where the sunstone is located.

Way to go Celera.

All are awesome ideas :lol: :D :lol:

I just remembered telling someone on here something about being able to go down to the beach in Truce and look out at the ocean. This is true, and here's a screen from Star Ocean 3 depicting the kind of look we're going for.
