FF VI and XII came close but no cigar Chrono Trigger is still the best JRPG out there

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #1 on:** January 22, 2013, 02:01:48 PM »

No

The staff to make that kind of game isn't there anymore

Deal

These days, SE can't even make Chrono Trigger as good as Chrono Trigger.

the world ends with you is great

um, I think SE published grandia 3 (?). it wasn't great but the combat system was still really good.

Diunx · « **Reply #7 on:** January 22, 2013, 02:12:38 PM »

I think that's the second trial or one of the endings, don't remember.

there's a second trial?!?!?!

Diunx · « **Reply #10 on:** January 22, 2013, 02:15:53 PM »

I think...maybe I should have replayed this before making this thread, shit it's been more than ten years since I last finished this game

Himu · « **Reply #11 on:** January 22, 2013, 02:17:25 PM »

after googling it seems it's tied to the rainbow scale quest. this is so weird because i always get the rainbow gear. I have never done this

Grandia Xtreme is fun if you ignore the story.
Grandia III is fun if you ignore the story.

I'm sensing a pattern here.

I'm beginning to wonder now that, aside from DQ and its spinoffs, will SE ever make a good game again?

Apparently Squeenix nostalgia-fegs are having a sad this week all over the forum; sounds like a great time to play some XIII and Dimensions.

I like CT but it suffers from the same problem as lots of other JRPGs that battles outside of boss fights are completely boring and meaningless, and comprise like 40% of the time you spend playing the game.

I rank TWEWY pretty close. But let's be honest, games like Chrono Trigger don't come along very often in the entire industry. As per what Sho Nuff said, the modern Square doesn't seem to have the talent available for something like CT. Not to say there aren't people working in the company that couldn't, but that those people have basically no clout and are in indentured servitude to a bunch of clowns.

You guys should really play FF13-2. Yes, the story is a nonsense but HOPE AND NOEL are all you need regarding that.

Gameplay is ACE, it's one of the most addicting RPGs I played this year. I always ran to the next battle and I tried to do every sidequest even though I don't have time to play vidya and I generally hate fetch questing. That's how fun it was.

But then the Ending will hit you and FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF LIGHTNING RETURNS WHY I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS

SE havent or ever will make a game btter than Chrono Trigger, but Sega has in the form of Skies of Arcadia.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2013, 12:48:41 AM »

I really hope Sega has Skies of Arcadia waiting in the wings for digital release v. soon, they've re-released heaps of their other Dreamcast games, just not the one that everyone wants
