Hack description

The "Magus Unmasked" patch modifies Guile's model, weaponry, tech descriptions, and portraits so that he more closely resembles Magus from Chrono Trigger.

As for dialogue and storyline changes, we defer to Masato Kato's judgment that it is "...impossible to portray the relationship between Magus and Schala adequately in this game [given] ...such a huge number of playable characters." This by no means suggests that a complete Guile - Magus storyline conversion will never come to fruition; it merely means that a hacking project of far greater scope than this patch will be required to do justice to a Chrono Cross involving Magus.

An interesting concept, but needs more work.	phantom_with_a_rose	2018-12-17	Version 1.1
While I like the idea of making Magus a playable character in "Chrono Cross", his character design here still mostly just looks like Guile with a few minor tweaks. I would love to see an updated, improved version of this patch that makes the Guile sprite represent Magus much closer to his original counterpart seen in the anime cutscenes of the PSX/NDS re-releases of "Chrono Trigger". For now, this patch release is decent, at best, but if you can, please try working on it some more.
