Chrono Trigger TV Ad

Strange request. Does anyone know where I can view the U.S. Chrono Trigger TV commercial? I have the Japanese one but not the U.S. one.

Great site. I swear by it.

Did Chrono Trigger even have an American commercial? I remember seeing the Final Fantasy III one once when I was younger but never an ad for Chrono Trigger.

There was definitely one. I remember it well enough. It was a pretty by the books commercial with scenes from the game popping up and this announcer with a strange accent yelling at you. CHRONO TREE-GGAAAA!!!!!!

This is one of the great, lost video game commercials. I remember it well.

"Lose your luggage". Sure, when I go through time, I expect to lose my samsonite.

Frickin' awesome.

I've been scouring the net for this particular piece of videogame nostalgia but have yet to turn up a single pixel. Bah!

But seriously though. I'd be interested in finding this as well.

Before the game was released, one of the Square guys posted the commercial air times on some message board (I think it was Dr. Gamewiz - anyone remember that?) IIRC, it only aired a few times on MTV in the early AM. That would explain its rarity.

And after typing the above, I just searched through Google Groups, it turns up a discussion from 1995 on it. Type "Chrono Trigger" MTV as the search phrase. They confirm this, and mention that it was in Japanese with subtitles, which I somewhat remember as well.

Hmmm...could the US commercial be the same as the Japanese one just with subtitles?
