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

@Dark WeresYeah, we always just used the Ice Crystal(?) attack for everything, never even really used the Acid deal on anything. |

@ShadowlinkOh, it very well might change the game. That said, like Dark Weres said, once you get that Magic, you'll almost have an "advantage" in Boss Fights. Geez, I wish everyone could play with someone though.. Have Pokefreak come over! (It should be noted that when I'm Leveling Up my Magic, I am playing alone. I sometimes wander around for hours, so I do get a taste of it. Doesn't seem incredibly different for me, actually. And getting stuck on rocks or bushes or whatever, don't you guys just walk back towards them to jar them free? Ah well.)
--How are you and the Cubester doing? Are you guys nearing the end of Week 1? I know you were close, but not sure.. |

@ShadowlinkWe got by just popping him a few times with it. I don't know if Nikki got a weapon hit on him at all, though I was charging up as much as I could and slashing his crotch as soon as he made it available.@Pokefreak911We've gone to greater lengths for less! |

@Pokefreak911While I don't know the exact distance you are from Timmy;
1. NW Meetup 2011: New York City 2. NW Meetup 2012: Montreal
Hours and hours of driving / riding for just a few days. Lots of money spent to get there, and while there. Was it fun? Certainly!, but it cost a pretty penny. |

@Pokefreak911Yes, Tim should come to you, once a week. And you guys can play Secret of Mana for 4 hours straight, and be done with it. It'll be GREAT FUN.
And I don't care to see Hoppy Joe. |

@ShadowlinkHave OniLink show up, too, and then you each can play as a person.
Or, you know, Tim can ask his brother who lives with him..and he'll probably like it because its, you know...Secret of Mana.... |

@ShadowlinkPerhaps the one thing missing from your relationship is Secret of Mana. You know, kinda like when you butter someone up with something? He might love it that his T.A. distinction disappears..
How old is he? Lemme talk to him. |

@ShadowlinkKeep on him! (coax him with a candy bar or something, and then TRAP HIM; I used a Toblerone for Nikki, and a bag of Reese's Pieces) Nikki seemed hesitant at first, but we breezed through yesterday and she didn't complain once. ALSO, I caught her tapping her foot to a new tune!
@Dark Weres
Yeah, I wonder if the SoE guys are around at all in any capacity. I know they didn't have the fanfare of the SoM dudes, but it was still a competent game. |
