I just played Chrono Trigger for over an hour.

anyway i'm replaying final fantasy vii in a fucking PAL copy on an original playstation so i don't even know

i never would've gotten through Earthbound without the skip key- i doubt i would've made it all the way through if i had a hold of the original SNES cart for more than a rental back in the day. the grind in that game is nuts towards the end

i feel like this is actually more of a waste of time on some level

Yeah! so otm

i totally get that attitude, but it's like sometimes you gotta get through the badly-designed parts to get to the good stuff, i'll give up the badge of honor on certain games, especially the older i've gotten

I am enjoying this

fave thread

Are you disturbed? Someone ban this freak from the thread. You're a piece of work. It was YOU who started this stupid ass discussion. Now you're saying this shit? Slimy m.f.

Goggles on I'm going ALL CAPS. IM PISSED. talk of 'technical virtuoso' is just so DAMN STUPID. With RACIST OVERTONES. Since when does it have any factor on whether you can CREATE GREAT MUSIC.

Were any of the BEATLES virtuoso on their instruments? Obviously NOT. DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? OBVIOUSLY NOT.

Was BLUES MUSIC created using 3 simple chords? YES.

IS QUESTLOVE THE MOST TALENTED DRUMMER IN THE WORLD? IS HE IN THE TOP 500? NOPE. DOES HE UNDERSTAND MUSIC? YES. DOES HE MAKE GREAT MUSIC? YES. IS A VIRTUOSO? NO.

JIMI HAD THE SAME SHIT THROWN AT HIM BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. WAS JIMI A GUITAR VIRTUOSO? NOPE. IS HE RIGHTLY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS EVER? YUP.

Can PRINCE play bass like BOOTSY? NO. Can he make BASSLINES funky? OBVIOUSLY YES. DOES IT MATTER? NO.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID UP THREAD, JAMES GADSON FUCKING PLAYED THE SUGAH DADDY BEAT ON HIS THIGH. THOSE ARE HIM SLAPPING HIS THIGH. RECORDED. OH BUT MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BEST THIGH SLAPPER IN THE WORLD, LET'S JUST POINT THAT OUT.

IS HE A VIRTUOSO THIGH PLAYER? NOPE. I'M SURE THERE ARE 100 OR SO VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPERS OUT THERE WHO CAN SLAP A THIGH BETTER THAN HE CAN. THEY'VE PROBABLY HAD THAT GIFT SINCE BIRTH. THEY PROBABLY SPENT 30 YEARS SLAPPING THIGHS.

JAMES GADSON ISNT A VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPER.

BUT STILLADVANCE IS A VIRTUOSO FOOL.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID UP THREAD, YASUNORI MITSUDA FUCKING PLAYED THE TYRANO LAIR BEAT ON HIS THIGH. THOSE ARE HIM SLAPPING HIS THIGH. RECORDED. OH BUT MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BEST THIGH SLAPPER IN THE WORLD, LET'S JUST POINT THAT OUT.

On January 4, Trump's official inauguration committee received a $100,000 donation from a limited liability company named Wings of Time. The inauguration committee filings list an office tower in Los Angeles as the address for Wings of Time, but there is no individual's name associated with the organization.

Luckey has a separate company, Luckey Arms LLC, registered at the same address as the one listed by Wings of Time in the inauguration donation records. And California corporation records list another corporation as the manager of Wings of Time LLC, an entity called Fiendlord's Keep, Inc. Luckey is listed in the records as the sole officer for Fiendlord's Keep. Luckey and his attorney did not respond to requests for comment.

And for those who are curious, Wings of Time and Fiendlord's Keep aren't random names. They're elements from a popular video game originally for Super Nintendo called Chrono Trigger. According to a 2015 Forbes profile, Chrono Trigger is one of Luckey's favorite games.

nooooo

we talked about it a bit in the casual sexism thread

Do we have a "time travel in games" thread? I read a good article and wanted to talk about it. this is the first one I could think of, naturally

it me

I picked up some SNES-style RPGs on the Steam sale - CrossCode and HEARTBEAT. Haven't played HEARTBEAT yet but Crosscode is fun and quick to pick up - I got an old Falcom game called "Trails in the Sky" at the same time and the intro is just excruciatingly long. I don't care how much time you spent on the opening FMV, I DON'T WANT TO WATCH IT.

FMVs suck so bad

word

heartbeat was good

trails is my favorite rpg series but i think it only really appeals to dedicated anime storygamers, that first game has about 20 hours of slow burn worldbuilding before the plot emerges. i dont remember it having fmv other than the standard anime intro movie in every japanese game

the way i feel is, if you can’t tell your story with sprites then why are you making a video game

Maybe they prefer vector graphics

No probably Trails in the Sky is not _that_ bad but I feel like games are more along the lines of what I want to play today than they were ten years ago or however many years ago that game came out, the difference between the trite repetitive dialogue and boring unskippable cut scene versus booting up the modern game Crosscode and jumping right into "Hey let's do some cool stuff" was night and day for me, I'm old and overstimulated. See also why I couldn't get into any Zelda games between OOT and BOTW, the whole "Hey before you start why don't you play a mandatory animal herding minigame and do a bunch of other stupid bullshit". Shit, you know what I will do if I want an infodump? I will read one of the several dozen books in my backlog.

play ys origin if you want a falcom game that would be more to your taste then

I'll probably get back to Trails in the Sky to be honest; it's just the whole steam sale thing where I have like seven new games and I can't play them all at once. Honestly I feel like this whole binging model is why I had 100 sale/bundle games that I never actually played and it's why I didn't buy basically any Steam games at all for the past three years and just played Civ V.

Anyway Chrono Trigger is a fun game even if Earthbound is more my jam.

you'll probably like heartbeat then, its more earthbound/pokemon than squaresoft

plus it's apparently one of those games where everybody is queer which i am all about

welp despite all this, this game's devs have been exposed as massive TERFs and are currently doubling down on it in gross ways, so i retract all my previous recommendations and C&P votes for the game

I miss Chrono Trigger.

I'm trying to beat the game again but witht the Frog ending and I just can't seem to beat Lagos - probably because I don't have some of the characters. You can go back from the end caves and grind up without messing up the ending right?

i was online shopping late last night and ordered a super famicom. sooooo excited. it comes with 5 games: art of fighting, super river fishing 2, mario rpg, yoshis island, and... chrono trigger!

coincidentally i just hacked my SNES Classic to add a bunch of sadly overlooked games, including CT. haven't let myself start replaying it yet though, what's the rush?

It so happens I am nearing completion of this game for the first time ever. I know I'm 25 years late to the party, but...it's pretty great! I don't usually have the patience for JRPGs, but this one is special.

I'm so excited for you both to be starting this excellent game. not really ready to play it again, but please report and let me live vicariously

yes!

I just finished replaying this for the first time since high school, and like, WOW.. I was worried I was too over-leveled by the time I got to the final battle with Lavos, since making it through the Black Omen and the Queen Zeal fight was a breeze. But nope, it was just as brutal, challenging and climactic as I hoped it would be. The whole game hypes up this massive showdown with Lavos and it completely lives up to the hype. What an absolute masterpiece of a game.

Except for the extra Lost Sanctum dungeons in the DS version. They really suck.

Lavos is really fuckin tough. also, lol at the OP

my own GZeus-styoe claim is that Wind Scene was my most played Spotify track for two years running, and probably will be again

style

The GZeus really made an excellent contribution to this website with that opening post, didn't he

this is a jam

I’d love to have my kid try this out and like it one day. Terranigma too, but Chrono Trigger seems more likely.

a memory card failure and other mishaps have prevented me from ever having finished this game. does anyone know if the PC version is acceptable now? or is an emulator the best way to play if i don't have a console its been ported to?
