Oh Codex, you are irreplaceable.
Well, I just took a look at Planescape campaign setting and it's factol of the Bleak Cabal (Lhar). So I picture something like this going on:
Pretty much yeah. The part that you finished sets up the time-traveling thing and explains the basics of it, which will be greatly expanded in the rest of the game. It's pretty much a long tutorial. The combat does get challenging, though grinding is always an option, but the difficulty ramps up very slowly.
It's been 15 years, like I said, but are you talking about
But it's really more of a gimmick than anything else, since you can only do it in your second play-through of the game and the endings all feel like "What if?" scenarios rather than legitimate conclusions to the game. Still, I agree it's cool!
The only theme I can really deduce from my recollection is that people are too quick to fight rather than to look for common ground to make peace. But, aside from the freestanding merits of that theme (which is a little bit trite), it is completely at odds with the gameplay since the only real way you have for interacting with the world is killing people, killing people is the only way to win the game, and you never even have the option to trying a non-violent solution. Another theme, I guess, is that no problem is too big to overcome, except for

The thing you got to rememeber about CT is that it's a kid's game like Zelda. On top of that there's the fact that Nintendo of America censored stuff in their translations. There's stuff like Ogre Battle&Tactics on the system though, but most games like Langrisser 2, Front Mission and Majin Tensei got never localized.
It was 27.No Suikoden 2?
Didn't that end up being Skyway's favourite site?I remember when there were some people on this very forum saying that NeoFAG is the greatest site on teh internetz for meaningful discussions and shit
I picked up Chrono Trigger recently to see what all the fuss is about.
And tbh after playing it for about 2 hours I don't quite get it.
I don't like the dialogues, they are short as hell and fail to transport personality.
I don't like the characters, they are immature and feel like your run of the mill wapanese animu shit.
And first and and foremost I fucking hate the battle system. This is completely braindead, no challenge, no thought required, no twitch component that would make up for it being mindless. I sigh every time a new enemy shows up, and then I just keep clicking away at the basic attack to make them go away. Works very well so far. ^^
I figure the main appeal of this game is the story, but with such childish characters and dialogues I don't see how it could get any better soon.
So ... does it? Get better I mean. Please tell me that in the next chapter they will suddenly stop with the cutesy crap and start to tell a story that is worth telling. Or at least tell it coherently instead of this stenographic approach to storytelling (here's a teleportation device, hop on it, let's talk later - great introduction to Lucca)
Have to play some Mario Land or Zelda to remind me that japanese games can indeed be fun after this shit.
I don't know about you guys, but after reading that thread I feel we are Prestiges as fuck.
