I thought it said Canadians at first and I was confused.
Beware the coming of the World Canadian.
Isn’t this just Chrono Trigger?
Either that or Azeroth.
Best damn game of all time!!!
Worth playing even today?
Yes
Caveat: the graphics were fairly low-res even for its time, and that bugs some people.
Everything else though… it is made by the people who did the early Final Fantasy series, who were given the free reign to do as they pleased so this is how they wanted games to be. e.g. battles aren’t random but you can see them on the screen before you fight them, which increases the level of immersion. Most are also skippable if you wanted, though if you fight each battle once then you need do no grinding at all unlike most early JRPGs.
It is super short, but has a New Game+ feature with >15 different endings. So very replayabile. It offers very little difficulty, but that’s not what it’s for, being a story game. Especially the first time, set battle mode to “Wait” so you have all the time you want to think through things.
And I wasn’t exaggerating saying that it’s a strong contender for best game of all time - again caveat those gfx but otherwise… The reviews it got were phenomenal and as you see it has a cult-like following!:-)
Not sure why people would be funny about the graphics.
Those SNES era 2D games have aged much better than the PS1 era 3D games.
Absolutely. It is a very short JRPG that wastes no time and has no filler. I finish it about monthly.
The only discernible flaw is that one dialog box is missing a closing quotation mark.
yes.
The game mechanics and pixel graphics (not to mention the great soundtrack) aged amazingly well. I’m super biased though
But the world refused to change
In DnD I believe it is called a Tarrasaque
There was a Dr who episode with this plot, but the insect inside the earth was a spider.
Also, basically, that episode about the moon.

She got what she deserved
Insect + big + magic as caulking for the highest-level plot holes, then let the geopolitics trickle down.
Bam. World created.
Fun fact: lengths of cicada cycles are usually prime numbers to minimize overlap between emergences of different species.
Somewhere in the universe, the 2^136,279,841 − 1 cicada bides its time
Isn’t this the twist to Darkest Dungeon?
This year they came out in droves, to the point where their sound was ear-splitting and drowned out most of the cars on the major road I live on. The sound is one of the worst things I have ever heard (intense bug phobia)… so yeah, fuck everything about this.
Celestials.
Honestly? Sounds like a fun campaign
Chrono Trigger is fun!
Is that essentially what that game is about? I never played it on account of the fact that it came out 5 years before I was born.
Nah the game is about friendship and time travels. The boss is kinda irrelevant.
In fairness, the power of friendship, being the real treasure found along the way, beats everything!:-)
Yep. Early game, you accidentally time travel to the past. You fix what got broken by the time travel incident, get back, and go through a kangaroo court. You escape from that, find another portal, and after fighting your way through some futuristic ruins, you find out this mountain-sized porcupine-looking thing with a graboid head erupted out of the ground shooting lasers everywhere, and the rest of the game revolves around preventing that.
The court was one of the best moments!
World of Warcraft fans seething right now.
At this point it might be doing us a favor to just put us out of our misery.
