(Plain English: Scroll down to the bottom of the "OP" if you're lagging behind for previous weeks)
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

@r_hjortIts cool man, enjoy your other stuff! @DapperDaveAwesome! Is Zero going to yell at you for not finishing your super-awesome game? @SeVeN CDNNo race! I'll put up "goals" that you'll want to hit during the week, not really "challenges" so much as "only play this far." It should run about 8 weeks (possibly 7, I doubt 6, doubt 9). Sooo, pretty much the 2nd thing you said. Just check in after you do it, maybe share some thoughts, what you thought was cool about a certain part, something that bugged you. You can swing in before the week is over too, ask for help, etc. I'll be the DUNGEON MASTER (if you're unfamiliar with the term, thats the guy from Dungeons & Dragons who says what happens, an experienced person with the game so people who are unfamiliar, ie: playing for the first time, are able to go in fresh and experience the game at a good pace without stuff being spoiled. And yes, keep in mind that if you're one of the first guys done in any given week that some folks might still be going, and you don't want to ruin it for them, so you spoiler tags. Like this!Hope you have a good time, thanks for joining up! @chrisbg99Oh, pfffft, you'll TOTALLY finish. You're a machine!! --- Week 1 will be up in a few minutes.. |

WEEK 1 - The Destined Child
Zing zong, lets get this party starteddd!
-1.1 Start your game! Name your guy, he'll be "Ryu" if left blank. Enjoy the title screen in a little bit! -1.2 With Bow now in your party, you will accept your first job as Rangers. Complete it. -Fish at fishing spots w/ TreePole (buy Worms) for some easy dough, have Bow in front at Grass spots to Hunt. -Your Travels will bring you through Mt. Fubi. Proceed through to some Ruins. -Make sure Ryu is loaded for Bear after going home and back again, because you've got a long, lonely walk ahead. -1.3 In Coursair, you learn of an awesome Colisseum and a dude named Baba. Seek him out. -With your new secret alias, head to the Colisseum for an awesome fight. A note about pre-fight stuff next.. -After talking to Augus, you'll be shown to your locker room with a box full of 1000c. After you get this, don't talk to the soldier at all and go deposit all of your money in the bank of Coursair. Go back and talk to the soldier you didn't talk to, and the game will proceed. If you talk to the solider prior, the next sequence will be activated, and when you give your money to Rand, he'd take it all. If you don't have any, you'll still get what he gives you. Hooray for free cash! (Alternatively, you can open the chest after you talk to the Soldier -and- Rand) -With a foul plot afoot, at crunch time (!!) Ryu will have to decide to SAVE KATT, or simply let her get knocked out.. The choice is yours...save Katt.. -Returns to the Ruins per the game, and Week 1 is complete!
Should be 15 (I THINK) Treasure Chests this Week throughout. I can tell you how many per "Chapter" if you'd like.
No idea how long all of this will take. I'll try to get going on it shortly. As always, first person done (or 2nd, 3rd..), let us know how long it took ya. If this is TOO LONG for someone, let me know. If this is TOO LITTLE for someone, let me know. I'm using a Walkthrough that is broken up into sections; this was 3, and I think we'll do 3 again next week. Also, if my spoiler tags are TOO MUCH / TOO ANNOYING, let me know. I'm not nuts about this first installment myself.
For our new friends, after a Week is complete, do NOT advance the story at all (read: don't go anywhere *NEW*), but you are free to grind and get fat stacks of cash all you want. Might I suggest the fish? Ooooh, Mendy's!
I guess thats it? Good luck out there, and I hope you like the game!! |
