TABLE OF CONTENTSPrologue: i Okami Clubii Fire Emblem ClubEpic Center: 01 Ogre Battle24 Secret of Mana39 Phantasy Star IV (cont'd) 67 Earthbound (cont'd)99 Breath of Fire II (cont'd)110 Paper Mario (cont'd)123 Golden Sun (cont'd)136 Chrono Trigger(ALL VINTAGE EC GAMES ARE CONTINUED IN THEIR OFFICIAL DISCUSSION THREADS!) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Hello, true believers! Welcome to Negative World's newest RPG-centric Club Hub, springing off the heels of the Fire Emblem Club. Way back when, Nintendo Power introduced a monthly walkthrough / in depth Role Play Game section (right around the beefiest SNES RPG era), but since they aren't around anymore to use it, Negative World will bring it out of the ashes, dust it off, and roll with it (two things of note: #1, this is not in reaction to Nintendo Force Magazine at all -- I know that because I thought of it in the shower this morning, so THERE; and #2, I just looked up "Epic Center RPG" on Yahoo, and there is apparently another RPG-based site that has that, ugh. I guess we're looking at a "Ghostbusters" / "Real Ghostbusters" thing now... Whatever..). For anyone who grew playing SNES RPGs, and were a fan of them, they surely resonated to the point where they still hold office as some of your favorite games of your entire videogame life, systems, generations, and decades later. The NW Epic Center (run primarily by myself, with the aid of some special friends occasionally) will help to expose some of those games that didn't quite get the recognition they deserved, and also to relive some of the greatest games EVER as we play through them again -- together -- and open up a whole new dialogue on these lost treasures. Next up.. Chrono Trigger is held by many (myself included) as The Greatest RPG of All Time, pun not intended. It is a benchmark title in the genre, and even after 20 years the game is discussed daily and held in high regard, even in the face of juiced-up, HD "masterpieces." Is simpler sometimes better? Sure, but we're not talking "Dragon Warrior" simple here; we're talking 16-bit perfection at its finest. I'm personally a bit worried about pursuing this game once more; it's been a long time since my last jog through it, and I'm afraid I might have the rosiest pair of glasses that any shot of nostalgia could ever produce. We find out later this month, for better or for worse. (C'mon, it's gonna be fine -- we're talking Chrono Trigger here!! THE BEST, JERRY, THE BEST!!) Sunday, August 30th marks the start of Week 1 (if you prefer to start your own quest AFTER Sunday, like Monday, or Tuesday, or Wednesday, thats fine!). Golden Sun ran 6 Weeks. GameDadGrant will be our DUNGEON MASTER for this one, and we figure the playthrough to run about the same length. Less than two months. I'm told the total quest should last you between 20 and 30 hours. See ya soon!! CHRONO TRIGGER

@VofEscaflowneDon't ignore it! Can't you play it like a sweet show on TV? Little here, little there? Theres always the GRINDING if you really want to. I know its tough for people to hold back sometimes, but yeah, I just can't understand it. Probably because I've got SOME MUCH F'N CRAP TO DO, CONSTANTLY. It'd be a few hours a week, 20-30 total (is that what I wrote up there?). Grant will have our Week 1 stuff up "soon," and we can officially start at Midnight EST. If you're specifically asking about MY schedule, I'll probably start every Sunday (Day 1 of a week), possibly DURING football, and either get it all done, or leave a little bit. Polish it off in the next couple of days, or let it roll to Friday where I'll then drop the boom on it. Its worked out pretty well for me, and you can see the myriad of games I've done up there. Earthbound and Golden Sun were a little different for me as they were on the Wii U VC, and I played "GamePad Only," but everything else has been on one of my TVs, and in original cartridge form if at all possible. (PSIV was on my Wii VC, and played on TV.) Play along, V! is it your first time playing Chrono Trigger? The journey will be SO RAD! (Do we have any other first timers? Eager to see how the TONS of hype shed off for you guys.. Earthbound crumbled under it for me, so that kinda stunk. But Lou loved it, and that was the first time for each of us. Who knows.) @Mop it upYeah, get it on Wii! 800 points! Thats how Nikki did it. HUGE advantage over the SNES, too; can't use Save States AT ALL on the cartridge. If a stage was going to take you 4 hours...you better have a lot of time to sit around. It used to take me FOREVER when I was younger, I remember only getting like 3 stages done in a Summer Day, but this time the longest anything took me was like 2 hours or so. Probably because I'M HUGE now, and my brain was CRUSHING the opposition. Seriously, my units were BONKS. Ogre Battle 64 has a Suspend feature though, so thats cool. Only two files though.. I don't know if you save A-B throughout the game (I always did A-B-C with Final Fantasy III, and most RPGs I play now. A-B-C-D w/ Fire Emblems..), but that would require both. Not sure how I'm going to DM that one since there are branching paths and lots to do. Hmm... |
