Chrono Trigger: Brink of Time. original Pixel Art by me
Chrono Trigger (Or, more correctly, Kurono Torigā) is a 1995 Super Nintendo Entertainment System Japanese-style Role Playing Game (Or SNES JRPG for you SFJs).
Featuring a richly layered plot, time travel and an innovative battle system, it is considered by many to be an absolute classic.

I'd love it if you took a look at my art and my PATREON!
this was a mature response
good work
Unity is pretty good.

also, mazzyx, i was talking about the director's cut version.

you know, even compared to its contemporaries, gameplay-wise it wasn't that great...
But it comes together really well, IMO.

It is probably the very best JRPG ever made on any platform. Nostalgia doesn't prop this game up. It has some of the nicer visuals ever for a sprite/16bit era game, a well written soundtrack, and a good cast of characters who are all interesting and strong in their own ways.
But it hews so very close to the formula that is the JRPG that if you do not like those kinds of games, you might end up hating it.

Ck2?
you guys meant well and i know that
it was just a combination of your enthusiasm and my sensitivity and insecurity about this stuff
it didn't go well
Because they don't feature choices really, except like waht sword do i
But damn chrono trigger. It just had a magic to it. The time travel was amazong too. Time travel is always amazong.
I had nothing planned.
It was kind of cool going back in time and doing a thing, then going forward in time and oh shit stuff is different

I disagree with you there...
FF6 is better IMO. I wouldn't say FF6 is the best, but it's definitely better than CT in my humble opinion.
It's still a fantastic, fantastic game I would qualify as a must-play for fans of the genre... but the best of it all? Not really.

Its a absurdly impressive snes game, I think it would of been well received other then how expensive it would of been
I don't like the font.
My iMac didn't qualify for Handoff.
It is butts.
That is not a problem I often have in JRPGs...

Final Fantasy 6 was the best Final Fantasy. Hands down.
And I would not begrudge anyone for picking it over CT - both games came out very close to each other with a lot of the same talent behind the scenes.
Chrono Trigger's more layered plot and time-based stuff, along with the ability to avoid or take every encounter as you go (seriously fuck random battles) pushed it over the edge for me.
But both games are spectacular.

I generally dislike Western RPGs because they basically offer choices I don't want to take.
They tell a story poorly that I don't care about and force me to pretend I do and largely only give the illusion of choice.
And I have to run around talking to people I hate.
What are we?
Mature, adult human beings or nerds?
We need to pump up the vitriol when discussing games! :razz:

- they are not RPGs in any real sense. You aren't making choices that impact the story and your character is almost never, in any way, a mechanism for you to impact the world or even for self-expression through aesthetics. They are called RPGs because the earliest ones mimicked D&D dungeon crawls, which were the only parts of D&D that computers of 30 years ago could do justice to.
- The combat also tends to be weirdly, bizarrely abstracted from the fiction. I've mentioned this before in chat, but it's so common in JRPGs to be - for instance - trying to escape the evil empire's cyber-police station and you're running around in a map that looks like a cyber-police station and there are imperial cyber-police going "stop, you kids!" but then the screen goes BLORP BLORP and suddenly you're in a battle against three flowerpots with panther's heads coming out of them, and a butterfly that casts APOCALYPSOR or something that looks like a meteor hitting the earth and does 9999 damage. And then the fight ends and you're back in the cyber-police station and nobody ever remarks on what happened in that battle. Was it real? Was it a drug trip? Are PantherPots and DeadFlyX39s so common as to be beneath even mentioning?
- But all this is potentially okay IF:
- the non-interactive story that I am sitting still for is entertaining and fun (I'm not going to turn up my nose at a good story just because it's only a good story, I'm not a fucking goon)
- the gameplay is interesting on its own terms and presents me with an interesting set of tactical choices or challenges.
Unfortunately, I just feel like too often, one or neither of those ends up being true. A lot of the stories either feel like earnestly-felt but badly-done nonsense ("we have to believe in the planet!") or just outright cynical manipulation of the audience's prurient interests ("Kiwi-chan, we can only get out of this if you dress up like a stripper now!"). And the trend with gameplay seems to be to mistake opacity for depth: rather than giving me an array of interesting options that I have to weigh, I feel like so many JRPGs I have played give me a series of featureless black boxes whose purpose is only apparent if I have shelled out $40 for the Prima guide.
Add To Library: The monthly free PlayStation Plus games will have an ‘Add to Library’ button in the PlayStation Store. This button will add a game to a PS4 owner’s library without downloading it – saving space on their hard drive.
Content Area and Library: PS4’s Content Area, which shows the latest games and apps a PS4 owner has used, has been redesigned to help make it easier to quickly find and access content. It now shows 15 of a player’s most used apps or games, and additional items will be added to a player’s Library. The Library on PS4 has improved filter and sort functions to help organize contented by type (game / app / TV & video), name (a – z or z – a), recently used, or install date.
yay finally.
now give me all that sweet media player support the xbone just got
Handoff is weird. I have two computers - one can handoff and one cannot.
I know that the other one COULD handoff if they used an older bluetooth profile, but it would be mean to the battery on both the mac and the iPhone to do that so they decided against it.
The font will fade into the background after a few weeks, just like people who thought iOS 7 looked awful don't talk about that any more. It's change. Change can be rough.
Thankfully, the changes Apple did are not things that completely break how you use your computer or make it feel alien and unfamiliar after install (coughcoughwindows8).

"This is me. I was born in space and am an awesome space commander. Or I was born in candlekeep to a God. This is still Greeper though. I'm this person going and doing these things."
JRPGs make me go:
"Okay, this is someone else. What's he doing? How can I help? This is someone else. Look at the choices this other person's making. Oh, ok, strange alien god. Let's go kill it."
I still wish Safari was more comfortable to use than Chrome. It seems that given the closed-system aspects of Apple's mission, their flagship browser would be a lot more friendly than it is.
but, nope. it aint.
All the fucking money.
What aspects are giving you friction? There are a lot of settings and things you can do to make it play the way you like.
After all, Chrome and Safari on the desktop are p much the exact same browser with a different frontend and cloud service.

to this day I can't decide what the hell was up with it.
but it was pretty cool in a weird way.
Safari never seems to fill my screen with content unless I use zoom on every page, which is annoying. And the trackpad reads too accurately, shuddering the page unless my scrolling has basically swiss precision.
They frequently offer a fairly high degree of character skill customization which can be more meaningful in terms of core gameplay(combat) than their western counterparts.
The character customization and developing are fairly akin to... Certain modes of tabletop gaming.
i... are you actually talking about dark souls 2?
your levels don't have anything to do with your weapon, and there's no reason you'd have to start over again (there are even respec items throughout the game)
Have you played the dark cloud games?
