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

@Mr_MustacheMy favourite character is also Nina, not only because I trend towards the magic-users in RPGs, but because she can restore her MP as a unique ability. Unlimited mage! I would often use her Sonic Boom spell because it had had such an effect on me in the intro when Father Ganer uses it., even if it doesn't have an elemental advantage in the game. For fanservice? There's hardly a video game character that can win against Katt. It's like she was too much fanservice for one character, so she split into Morrigan and Felicia for later Capcom games. She's the kind of progressive female character who breaks the pattern of the Japanese super-submissive, extra-embarrassed moe-girl who'd be all "Nooo, don't do that, it's so embarassing!" No, Katt throws you down and climbs on top. She loves it and she'll let the world know she loves it. The game gives you the illusion that you can pair Ryu with Katt, but IIRC, it is not to be because Dragons can only pass down their genes through bird-people or something I dunno it's been a while since I saw the end. Maybe I'm wrong! Maybe he gets both of them and they just leave it open ended as to whether he actually ends up with one of them. |

@Dark Weres@chrisbg99HA!! I had NO IDEA there was such a Katt following!! I was in before it was cool: HIPSTER STYLE I like her "artwork" a lot better than the cover of the game. Whats going on there?? -- WITH EVERYONE? --I was reading some stuff on Wikipedia yesterday, and I TOTALLY forgot about the ending, and had some pretty crucial story stuff "ruined" for me. I'd advise to stay away so you can be surprised.. again!@ludist210Noooo, haha.you can SIGN UP next week. It doesn't NEED to be "today." Starting December 1st still. @chrisbg99@r_hjort@Mop it upYou guys should totally do it! Its awesome, and uhhh, help support Capcom on the Wii U VC so we can get Breath of Fire III, or something?? Not my department, but maybe that'll help.. I'll be playing on cartridge, too, Mop! (And I'd totally snatch up Breath of Fire III posthaste if it landed there somehow..) |
