Talk:Chrono Trigger

Ways you can help, with this and the Final Fantasy VI book I've been working on:

Motivations for having a Wiki guide

 * Completeness. There are a great deal of FAQs and guides which cover most information about the game but very few that present a detailed summary of all areas. There has been analysis covering the algorithms, equipment, colliseum, and other areas. Having a guide which can be edited means that if we forget any secrets in the game they can be added easily, so our guide should be able to contain all information about the game.
 * Organization. This is a benefit of having an HTML guide rather than a giant pure text walkthrough like GameFAQs offers. You should be able to link to any section and find the relevant information or advice needed easily, by following a link to a section or within a section.
 * References. All the information should be strongly related. For example, in the main walkthrough, if it talks about finding the rainbow sword it should link to the appropriate section in the equipment page and vice versa. When talking about Lavos the page should link to an identifier for Lavos under bosses. The information should be well-referenced and connected so users can trace different elements and their relations.
 * Images/media A boss template like the one for FF6 wouldn't hurt, or just a few general images. Another benefit to an online guide is using images to clearly identify gameplay elements, bosses, and locations which may be hard to find. For example, showing the location of each location on the world map would make things much easier for navigation, and having a giant map where each portion linked to a particular location would be ideal. And in general, the more pictures which are referenced to different parts, the better.
 * Formatted Tables/Lists Lists of items, enemies, and stats which are formatted and easily read would be very helpful.
 * Rpgclassics.com has a quite complete shrine devoted to chrono trigger.

 * Fill in the walkthrough section. The organizing element I want for this guide is the name of the saved games, it determines the ending and seems a useful way to divide up the game between bosses. Some info in parentheses may also be helpful, e.g. Chapter II: We're Back! (1000 A.D. second time). It'll probably be filled in as I run through again from scratch.
 * Add more images
 * Improve references between the sections and add them for monsters, spells, and equipment when feasible
 * Fill in as many lists or missing information as possible, possibly even crediting other sources, see if anyone knows about algorithms.
 * Editing may be necessary although difficult, I'm writing all the chapters myself and haven't gone through in much detail.
