A lot of them are essentially cut from the same mold, yeah. A few of them stand out as unique enough to be good, though.

Yes it is super weird and hypocritical of me to enjoy a product that excises pretty much all the boring and bland parts of the games I dislike in order to innovate how strange!

The closest to a generic medieval fantasy setting RPG on the SNES is FF4, and that's kind of a point in its favor because its story is basically a classical opera. And airships and giant robots aren't exactly generic in my book.

The Colonel posted:something can take place in a pretty common setting and still be cool and fun and afaik that is what chrono trigger does Well yeah duh any medium can transcend its limitations but that's only if the creator is actually interested in doing so and Square was so intent on hitting the same notes in every single game that they started doing weird poo poo like Parasite Eve and Xenogears and putting Final Fantasy in a ridiculous cyberpunk world just to try and avoid stagnation.

Lufia 2 and Illusion of Gaia were the best RPGs on the console and I won't ever hear otherwise The former had some laffo-degree bugs and the latter had a seriously  translation, I wish Tomato or one of those groups would redo that so I could have a better grasp of what the gently caress just happenedBut still, best SNES RPGs by a country mile

I look at a screenshot of Lufia 2 and immediately see dudes in armour, a four-person party, a magic system, stone walls and floors and giant enemy sprites. Also the main character has a shield and sword and there's a green-haired lady with a scepter. Wow so unique and interesting!

I got halfway through the Game Boy Color Lufia and remember it being a pretty neat game.  Maybe someday I'll check out the rest of it.

60~100 hour thing didn't become a thing until like late PS1, early PS2. I'm pretty sure I can go through CT in like ten hours. Like Star Ocean 1 and 2 took me like 30 hours put together, but SO3 was like 90 goddamned hours.

Wow so unique and interesting! are you just going to ignore anything anybody actually says about how the plot plays out so that you can snark about how the screenshots of the game look generic i've never even played lufia 2 and don't really have any interest but i'm going to assume there are reasons people like it

I like it but it did not have a very good randomly generated dungeon system, which was its selling point. Really drags it down for me. Lufia 4 is just horrid. Apparently Natsume wanted to prove they could make a Lufia game without the Lufia team and boy did they drop the ball.

Lufia is another gaming regret for me since I had friends who were super into it and I could have borrowed it on SNES but I was "trying to focus on school" at the time. Should've been less of a loving nerd.

The Colonel posted:oh, so the newest harvest moon game wasn't the only time they tried that You know the Sinistrals? Yeah, they're not in that game. And you know how Lufia has protagonists with very strong personalities instead of the empty shell a lot of them are? This one's mute. And those are just the surface issues with the story elements. There are a host of gameplay problems too. It's quite pretty but god drat does that game blow. bloodychill posted:Lufia is another gaming regret for me since I had friends who were super into it and I could have borrowed it on SNES but I was "trying to focus on school" at the time. Should've been less of a loving nerd. Lufia 2 had an entirely optional side dungeon that was a 100 floor roguelike. You were reset to level 1 and went in with no gear. You could bail out and keep some of the specially marked gear every so many floors but if you died it was all over. It was super radical.

As much as I love the game, every time I think of Lufia 2 I remember that puzzle near the end with the growing vine stalks and having to cut them down with flame arrows That loving puzzle made me have fits as a kid I tell you what

My stomach has hurt all day guys and I am grouchy and irritable and I want to eat this banana but I know it will only make it worse. So stop fighting in the video game chat guys. This should be the place for the best tips and the coolest tricks to be discussed and celebrated with joy in our hearts. So I'm going to play Enslaved: Odyssey West and kill more robots in this janky rear end gorgeous game and everyone is going to get along in the meantime!!! P.S. I can't beat Earthbound, I keep dying in the fire cave after the dinosaurs

The only thing remotely steampunk about Chrono Trigger is the Dragon Tank and I posit that the steam it expelled was because it is a dragon and thus filled with fire, which powers it. It's practically a sci-fi game, just with the modern day being a kind of slightly quirkier early lat 19th/early 20th century.

Even if this was true (it isn't) switching out one tired genre setting for another doesn't exactly make a case for how special and interesting Chrono Trigger is.
