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

@chrisbg99 The fire related badges were super helpful. I like the little snow effect that appears when you attack while wearing the one that makes you do more damage to fire enemies. And Sushie's tidal wave attack is awesome. I have a few more games to suggest. Arc Rise Fantasia (Wii) [This one looks good] The Last Story (Wii) Opoona (Wii) I know I'm putting a lot of games out there. This is because I'm feeling open and laid back about what we decide and it's better to have a lot of games to choose from rather than a few. If I'm listing too many, please let me know. |

A bit of a panic before I started this week; how many Seeds should be planted already?? I have 3...but we're in Week 5 and the Week 5 guy doesn't give you anything, so that suggests to me "you should have 4." Uhhhhh... I don't know how I would've missed the dude. Did I miss something? Also, before taking The Big Tuna, is there anything that we should take care of? I made my stops by Home, Koopa Koot, Rolf, the Magic Box, traded a new badge for Star Pieces. Anything I missed that you guys can think of? I don't believe that Watt opened anything obvious that was previously closed off (as a better Hammer or someone else would unlock), so yeah. Just proceed as usual? @Hero_Of_HyruleIs Mario RPG to the WII (or Wii Mode), or the WII U via Club Nintendo? @Hero_Of_HyruleOooh, Arc Rise Fantasia. I own it, played a bunch of it (while being VERY thorough) before my Wii went down. Didn't finish it, and I don't believe I hit the halfway mark, or even close. I enjoyed it very much though. I think that game flew under the radar after getting harpooned by some windbag critics for voice acting issues. GOD, turn the volume down or change it to Japanese w/ subtitles.. -OR- hack it, because IT ISN'T THAT BAD.I'd love to play that one sometime, I honestly wouldn't mind if it was next. (I STILL GOTTA FINISH BREATH OF FIRE II -- SOMEBODY DOES!!) |

@Hero_Of_HyruleI've talked about "ARF" on here a few times, I think I oozed a bit in the ARF Discussion thread. I really liked a LOT of things that the game did, things that I've never seen in another RPG (until Bravely Default kinda bit part of the battle schematic; in Bravely Default its like "WHOA!!" in ARF its like "PASS." Stinks, man. Consoles get no respect, saw the same Bullsh with Fire Emblem games, until Awakening came out and it gets tagged with BEST GAME EVER from everyone.). Games like Dragon Warrior force you to "Defend" or Attack for 1 Damage with your White Mages in a non-healing situation, while Arc Rise Fantasia allows your White Mage-ish characters to pass, allowing someone in your party to attack twice, or save up for some huge attack on the next turn. Also, there was some pretty B.A. CHAIN attacks, which we sorta saw in Xenoblade in a sense. Theres also powering up of weapons via a Resident Evil-like attache case thing. You can put as many attributes on weapons as you can so long as you can fit 'em, and if you fill the whole thing out, your weapon gets even stronger (I THINK, ITS BEEN A WHILE). Just totally cool stuff. I remember this having like THE best in-game Beastiary I've ever seen, too. --Oh, and I'll be finishing Week 5 tonight. I fell asleep twice while playing earlier in the week, and woke up on my couch this morning at 7:50a instead of playing around 2a as intended and then sleeping in a bed like a normal person. |
