It's not a coincidence. It was admittedly done on purpose.

only today would I notice this, before I wouldnt why? because I didnt kno of these bands except maybe RedHotChiliPeppers when I played this.

reply

Back in 1995 when i 1st played Chrono i didnt really get into music much so i didnt know about those musicians, but when i got more into rock and metal and what not i started to realize this as a coincidence. Rock is kinda a big thing in Japan anyway, lotta awesome guitarists even tho they dont do it for fame really. Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai do a lot of successful concerts over in Tokyo. So no, i dont think this is a coincidence, i dont think anythin is a coincidence in any video game to tell you the truth lol

Some good points. Although the problem is that those names were put in Ted Woolsey the American translator of Chrono Trigger.

An equation for me has no meaning unless it expresses a thought of God.

reply

That was actually done on purpose by the English translator. In Japan, this is what they're called:

Ozzie: Vingear
Slash: Soy Sauce
Flea: Mayonaise

reply

definitely not a coincidence... and I'm suprised anyone would even suggest it is. They obviously did that on purpose.

reply

Localization, not translation. There's a difference.
