This is a general enhancement hack for Chrono Trigger (US).

For details check out the Readme file, but here are some key features:

• Some dialogue changes and most tech descriptions use a compromise of community sources, paraphrasing, and the original text (NA).

• The “6-Letter Name” and “CronoNick” patches have been applied. [see Readme file]

• Certain enemies are challenging, but most normal enemies are still easy.

• It’s no longer Uncle Sam mode. $ rewards have been reduced significantly.

• This hack is designed with no-levels and low-levels games in mind, so LLGs can be completed legitimately.

• A wallet is hidden in Porre, if you want to play a NLG. Take a few rides on the ferry to reveal it.

• Most of Spekkio’s forms can still be reached, even at low levels.

• The Octorider enemy makes an appearance in NG+.

• All of your Fair stuff carries over to NG+.

• Some SPC songs from the pre-release game have been added, without having to replace existing ones.

• There are now two versions of Magus (the castle fight). One is for NLGs, LLGs, and average Normal games, and the other is intended for NG+ levels.

• Some scripted treasures have been hidden in places, to give the game a little bit more randomness.

• The final fight with Lavos can be replayed after you lose that fight, IF you are at low levels, and also as a bonus for NG+ playthroughs of this hack.

• Filename Chrono Trigger (USA).sfc
