There's a much shorter FrontPage about it but this is the purer experience and I'd recommend it.

There was the griefing thread which is very sagas-like. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2886637

Took a bad turn before being shut down, if I remember correctly.

i put a bunch of links in the op.

Thanks.

Going to risk this one, but I've already posted in this thread so I'm on borrowed time anyway.

There once was a forum for comments, questions, and suggestions. It wasn't some place I posted, but often was a source of great amusement for me. That wound up getting closed for a few months and replaced by a really wild ticket system held up by load-bearing admins.

Well, those admins weren't very numerous or engaging, though a few of them really did try. After not too long, they decided to add a bunch of IKs to the forum so that posters could post and vent and admins could (mostly) ignore things again without (quite) as much animosity.

One of those IKs decided to speedrun the experience - https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4026833

Jeff gave a thumbs-up to the thread, so now I don't have to live in constant fear of retribution for posting my remembering.

"Hey Harold, hold my beer." Less than 4 hours for a mod to go from admin -> poster, an incredible new record.

chrono trigger's impressive in a lot of ways for the snes just nothing in it really clicks that hard for me besides magus's whole bit and crono dying being a neat twist, the rest is kinda whatever and i find the combat pretty dull even by snes jrpg standards. i didnt play it until after id played stuff like ff9 that were way more my thing so maybe thats part of it

Mods please add spoiler tags here, thanks.

Edit: gently caress, beaten.



IK Edit: added spoilers as requested
