Isn’t this just Chrono Trigger?

Worth playing even today?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

yes.

Absolutely. It is a very short JRPG that wastes no time and has no filler. I finish it about monthly.

The only discernible flaw is that one dialog box is missing a closing quotation mark.

The game mechanics and pixel graphics (not to mention the great soundtrack) aged amazingly well. I'm super biased though

But the world refused to change

In DnD I believe it is called a Tarrasaque

Insect + big + magic as caulking for the highest-level plot holes, then let the geopolitics trickle down.

Bam. World created.

There was a Dr who episode with this plot, but the insect inside the earth was a spider.

Also, basically, that episode about the moon.

Isn't this the twist to Darkest Dungeon?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 hours ago

This year they came out in droves, to the point where their sound was ear-splitting and drowned out most of the cars on the major road I live on. The sound is one of the worst things I have ever heard (intense bug phobia).. so yeah, fuck everything about this.

Celestials.

Honestly? Sounds like a fun campaign

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Chrono Trigger is fun!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Is that essentially what that game is about? I never played it on account of the fact that it came out 5 years before I was born.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Yep. Early game, you accidentally time travel to the past. You fix what got broken by the time travel incident, get back, and go through a kangaroo court. You escape from that, find another portal, and after fighting your way through some futuristic ruins, you find out this mountain-sized porcupine-looking thing with a graboid head erupted out of the ground shooting lasers everywhere, and the rest of the game revolves around preventing that.

At this point it might be doing us a favor to just put us out of our misery.
