I was 12 when this game out, it was $84.99 at my local store. Back then that was an insane amount of money, but I saved my allowance for the better part of about half the year, and picked it up. It was one of my favorite experiences with games ever, but looking back at it, it’s crazy how much I spent on that one game, definitely couldn’t spend the equivalent ($164.95 in todays cash) on one game! Edit: Wow! You were 12 too?! We totally would’ve been friends, I only knew 2 other kids that had the game! That’s awesome, cheers mate!
I DEFINITELY would love to see a full retrospective on Live A Live. Also consider Final Fantasy Tactics, Octopath Traveller(1+2), Triangle Strategy, Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, Secret of Mana…
I did one on Chrono Cross that wasn't a full detailed analysis of the story but lightly touched upon themes. I want to redo it however because I know I can do it better. As for the others these are games I want to take a look at I'll add them to my list. Final Fantasy Tactics is one I definitely know I want to tackle.
I have the Chrono Trigger DS poster framed and hung above my computer. Awesome job on this man I was looking forward to this one. It’s amazing how well Chrono Trigger holds up, definitely timeless. The mythology section was great, pretty interesting stuff. Lizard people politicians would explain a lot haha. I think modern attempts to capture the golden age feel of rpg classics fall pretty flat. Though I do appreciate the attempts, they just haven’t been for me. Almost like they are imitating but lack their own identity, it’s hard to describe but I haven’t been able to get into them.
There's an indie game in development called Threads of time, that's a 16 bit visual rpg supposedly with the time travel elements and it's built like it
It would be kewl to keep the original names for some of the bosses in reference to toriyama doing that in dragon ball as a cheeeky laugh but I’m guessing Americans wouldn’t wanna fight mayonnaise
When I hear you talk about listening to your parents I want you to remember an old saying. "Youth can never know what it means to be old and wise, But the aged are twice the fool if they forget what it is to be young" My family spent so much time basically abusing me in an attempt to change me into how they wanted and to live how they wanted me to live under the excuse of "what's best for me" that they ultimately did far more damage than good. So is that my fault for not listening to their advice? Or is it their fault for refusing to respect my autonomy as my own person?
Thanks for sharing such a deep and personal comment first and foremost. That's not easy to do. My wife struggled with an abusive father as well. Obviously not every parent or adult is going to have the best interests in mind for their children. I was speaking to a scenario of a genuinely healthy relationship with parents (perhaps that was my fault). I think the a parental figure or someone who is older you look to for advice could easily apply. I would say it Isn't your fault, your parents didn't realize what was best for you or what made you happy. Thanks for leaving such a personal comment.
@@GamingWithSpoons you made me feel comfortable sharing my experience due to how you shared yours, so there was no fault to be had. There is a reason that I asked the question of who was at fault in my situation after giving the old saying, instead of giving what I felt was the concrete answer. If I said "they were wrong and that's that" and provided my feelings, I would be no better than them. The lesson I learned is that everyone NEEDS to find these answers themselves, and noone can really know what's best for you other than yourself. The mistakes you spoke of in the video were necessary to learn what you needed to even value the advice you ignored in the first place. It's almost like a time paradox, where by going back and changing something, you remove the motivation that made you time travel to begin with. So I asked the questions for you to decide for yourself. Our answers may be the same, they may be different. What's important is that they are our own. An additional factor I will include to the discussion is that my family genuinely believed they were doing the right thing. They were simply blinded by their inability to accept that not everyone has the same standards of life. The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I can say with absolute certainty that they were motivated by love and truly thought they were doing the right thing. They were wrong unfortunately, and didn't realize until it was too late, but the point is that the love and the abuse are not mutually exclusive. I thank you for engaging in this discussion. If even one other person reads this thread and gets some value from it, then we did something good for the community.
@GamingWithSpoons I never understood, how that girl father from the future, made it past that robot?or did the robot injured him & he made past the robot then died?
This is my first of your videos. Instant subscriber! I can’t wait to see what else you have on offer. Thank you for your passion and hard work!
Thank you for the kind words.

I can't believe how detailed your video is! great job

There are a lot of good ones but they do seem to have lost something
It was made by passionate men who were basically geniuses at thier crafts. Its kinda like gamings citizen kane.
That is a sound comparison actually. I like it.
The greatest game ever made.
Thank you for this video, Chrono Trigger is truly a timeless MASTERPIECE
Thank you for watching. It will always be one of my favorite video games. I had a lot of fun talking about it.
My friend from Korea gave me his original copy. He was a real

@GamingWithSpoons u should try the suikoden series. Especially 1 & 2
I need to. I've always wanted to play them.
@GamingWithSpoons I never understood, how that girl father from the future, made it past that robot?or did the robot injured him & he made past the robot then died?
Maybe the latter. That makes much more sense to me
