I was waiting for your OP to mention Vivi so I could be like NAH BRO. NAH. JUST.. NOPE. Dagger. Freya. Eiko. MY GOD IT STINGS THE HEART.
The saddest thing about Freya is the fact that she is completely pushed to the side like 1/3 of the way through :/ Honestly, what made me make this topic was the scene where Spoiler the Silver Dragons attack, and all your friends show up. It shows how far pretty much every character has come since the start of the game
That is p feels worthy. I just felt Freya was emotionally outcasted by her town. AND ALL OF THEM LIKE DIED. Dude. Dis game.[DOUBLEPOST=1394008629][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry, I'm excited. FFIX is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time alongside Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger, Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, Mother and Skies of Arcadia
I actually downloaded the OST last night. So good, I especially love the violin stuff Though it also pisses me of how badly they ****ed over the cast of Trigger to make this game work :/
Eh, I don't think they got fucked over. They just didn't fit into this type of game. If they made the Trigger characters playable, people wouldn't play as anyone else. If they didn't include them, they'd be insulting Schala and the connection we saw Magus have with her and fans would cry foul at it being a sequel. Chrono Trigger focused on strong character building, after all, while Cross is about the world building and the scenario itself. They had to do something with them and making Crono go out fighting wasn't a bad way. It's hard to lend personality to a once avatar character, so they made him go out protecting his loved ones. Plus, hey, the DS game lends a lot to Guile being Magus.
I dunno, Spoiler Crono and Marle dying as the kingdom they spent a tonne of their quest saving falls to some other random kingdom that raises an army by a comedic relief character Frog is killed and has his sword stolen and corrupted Lucca is killed for the orphans (and apparently Gato is there and also dies?) Robo gets deleted Magus loses his memory and... does a thing... I dunno. The ENTIRE doomed future from Trigger is trapped in some sort of hell dimension The Reptites turn out to be the RIGHT choice and most of all, Lavos is STILL a thing, even after all that, and at the expense of Schala Like, I'm split on this. One half of me finds it disrespectful to the original, the other half loves just how dark it is. Like, it kinda bugs me that that goo ending they worked to earn goes so horribly wrong... but it's also morbidly fascinating
Well, you gotta consider that Cross is a game about dimension hopping. This is just the dimension where saving the world didn't work.
Mkay, I'm not as fresh on the later plot details (I spoiled the game after playing Trigger because I figured I'd never get the chance to play Cross) but Spoiler Aren't there only two timelines, because Chronopolis basically spent their time eliminating every potential paradox Anyways, this game is right up there with FF13-2 in terms screwing with the predecessor's ending to make their story work
It's been a while for me, but I'm nearly positive I remember it being heavily debated amongst Cross fans if that was the case or not due to Time Devourer.... existing.
