ITZ funny that almost every 'apocalyptic' situation described in a game can be somehow related to Cleve's divine prophecies.

Like for example in Archimedean Dynasty: the evil comes from a nuclear shelter in Australia, and is an effect of a nuclear apocalypse, etc. etc.



Too bad that next Spekkio's incarnations aren't as cool-looking as the 1st one (Kilwala). Maybe except the final one...

Still:

If you avoid most non important combat and arrive at a lower level at spekkio (not sure what level), he would look like one of those little frog things.


EDIT: Also after the codex meme brainwash I always read Parepoley as "Popamoley"

Under level 10. He changes form every 10 levels.

And I also read that as popamoley, even before reading your note

The explanation given for the party size limit is fairly weak, but at least there's an explanation given. I'm still pissed about the time I reached Imoen and discovered that one of the dialogue options was simply "Sorry Immy, I can't take you with me, my party's full !".

Oh yes, Spekkio, the true God of War (Kratos can go and die on a fire)


It's still a pity that after FF8 Squaresoft starting going full retard and eventually stopped releasing good games like this one (and then there's Chrono Chross, a good game on its own but a terrible sequel of Chrono Trigger).

Great update, especially the scene with Cleve.

I see spekkio-kun is as much of a troll as always.

Damn, it seems our combat ability is that of a fluffy stuffed animal...

For them to reveal the end boss that early is quite odd to me, the first time I played it. How could I resist the bucket? Seriously?

Definite incline of JRPG.

Ah the infamous CT anime that many fans hate with passion. I believe it was made after the game but I'm not sure. It's a pretty strange CT spin-off with the weird jap humor.

Why do the fans hate it, it's just a funny retarded little story, do they take CT world too seriously or something like that?

Probably because jap anime slapstick humor is a hit or miss with most people. I don't like jap humor that much myself, although the racing scene with Gato and Johnny was a good one.

The future refuses to change ? We'll beat the shit out of it until it decides to change. Now, let's see what these pillars of light are all about.

65 million B.C. :shock: Uhh, yeah we can actually go there, but we'll get our asses kicked from high level dinosaurs, so let's leave it for now.

1000 A.D. , that's our time ! Medina village here we come.

MEANWHILE :

Bob, I had left four pieces of cake on the table... Now there are only two... What happened to the other two ?!

Uhh, I have not idea darling... I just came here, I was... outside, uhh, chopping wood.

Cut the crap, buster ! You know my mother is coming for a visit and that's her favorite cake !

:mumbles: (every cake is your mother's favorite cake)

Bob !!

I swear baby, I didn't touch the cake !

Oh really ?! Then what happened to it ?! Maybe someone came out of the closet, stole the cake and then vaporised. eh ? You take me for an idiot ?!

C-Calm down darl-

Uhh... hi there.

Y-you guys, hey, what's the big idea coming out of the closet in a stranger's house ?

We're sorry... we didn't kn-

You humans are so... DERP !

(he actually made a face there, but it can definitely be translated as derp).

Where on earth are we ?

Most of the Demons who live in this village hold a grudge against humans. Be careful.

Thanks for the info, we'll be leaving now.

Ah, wait a sec, you guys. A rather peculiar old human is living near the cave in the mountain to the west. Maybe he can help you out.

Thank you for telling us !

There's no point in staying caught up in the past forever. (not to mention you saved my ass back there)

Hey, you're cool, bro !

There are hardly any Demons who think like we do though... be careful.


And here we are, Medina, Ghetto village of the demons.

As we'll soon find out though, we're not very welcome in this village...

We'll plead... but with extreme prejudice.

I'm... going to report you to the trading association !

Y-You wouldn't dare... !

Watch me as I sign this complaints form. You're fucked. The repo men will be on your ass in no time !

Bah, time to grab some collars !

Nobody messes with Crono.

That's more like it Let's see what's on the tap :

WTF ?! These prices are ridiculous !

...


That didn't go so good after all. Let's visit the village square.

Whoa, Magus ?!

400 years have passed since Magus led us Demons and challenged the humans to war. If only the god Lavos was revived...

Lavos ? What do you know of Lavos !

As soon as Magus's creation, the mighty god Lavos, awakens from his long sleep, the human race is doomed.

Magus created Lavos ?!!

Long ago, Magus, with his mighty powers of magic, caused the god lavos to be born.


Damn... Magus actually created Lavos ? The plot thickens... Ok let's enter the chief's house :

His subordinates don't seem to like him much. Let's talk to da man himself.

You don't say...

Ahh, Magus... why didn't you graciously destroy humans for us 400 years ago ? Why do I have to see their ugly faces, even here in my house ?!

Hmm, I think that's our cue to split from this joint.


We steal a couple of ability tabs from the Chief's house and leave to search the surrounding woods...

We come upon a strange crustal pyramid, but we can't find a way to interact with it. Let's leave it for now and search for that old man we were told about.

Hey, isn't that the weapons merchant we met at the fair ?

Why not. Let's see his inventory :

Niiice. We'll get the all the weapons and a couple of titanium bikinis for the ladies.

WUT ?

Uhh, this isn't the part where you bring out your "life bringing weapon" and try to rape us, right ?

W-What ? ... Of course not.

Good, because we have a world to save and places to be.

Ah yes, if you want to return to the town of Truce, you should pass through the cave in the mountain north of here.

Thanks !

Beware though, there are certain monsters that can only be hurt by magic. Be sure to avoid them.

(Good thing we are the only humans that can use magic , then )

Hmm ?

Oh nothing. See ya Bosch !

Inside the cave we find a warm welcome :

We respond accordingly :

The caves are filled with danger. Devilish pots spit out little Cthulhu monsters :

Ninja helm-shrimps (wait what ?) try to ambush us :

Rolypolys want to roll over our dead bodies...

And eventually :

What, no bad-guy intro monologue ?

No time. I'm hungry for teenage human flesh.

Eat this !!

Counter-attack !!

Be careful Crono, he's building up his power or something.

You want to live forever ? HI-YAAAAA !!

Taste my power ! Water Wave !!

Lucca, Marle, try that new Fire & Ice tech you've learned !

Sure thing !

Let's go !

Marle heals everyone...

And we continue our attack.

YEAAAAAAAAH !

...The world today would have been the age of us Demons...

D A M N !!

He went out with a bang.

I wonder, will history change if we go to the Middle Ages and beat Magus ?

But Magus was beaten anyway, wasn't he ?

If we use the Gate in the Millennial Festival square we could reach him.

(am I invisible or something ?)


Ok let's go back to the matters at hand. How are we going to leave this place ?

Hmm ?

Jump into a sinister underground pool of water ? Sure thing !

Well, I'll have to agree too. Not to mention that I'm correcting syntax errors all the time.

We're coming to the point where the LP has reached the actual playthrough. Do you want me to revert back to the original translation (as long as the saves work that is) or stick with this one for the promise of some supposedly cut explicit content ?
