Turtles in Time vibes, I loved that game on the SNES until I had a big 10th birthday party at my house and the game grew legs…

So many childhood memories with TMNT. I don’t care how old I get. Will continue to play video games, watch cartoons, read comics, and geek out. Don’t care what people think, you only live once.

I don't think the battle system is really all that difficult tbh. It is however one of those things that is either your cup of tea or it isn't. I haven't really seen any middle ground on it - people either love it or hate it. I haven't f***ed around with Classic mode at all but maybe try that?


If you do decide to proceed with it, hop on Intergrade if you can. The Yuffie DLC is worth the price alone.




I just hope they don't go too far off the rails with the next 2 installments.

I'm 100% behind them making new installments (I don't need a pretty version of the og game, the original game is more than good enough if I want to play through it again) but it seems like they're walking a very fine line between doing something thats either going to be epic or is going to fail miserably.

It does seem like we're going to get a f*** load of game with this next one though. Going from Kalm all the way to what I would guess would be meteor being summoned is what, 60% of the original game?

If you look closely at the trailer for rebirth, I think it is all but guaranteed. Not saying it is a negative or anything... but there are going to be some massive changes.

Apparently they are already working on Part 3. So, if there are only 3 parts, this next one should take them 2/3rd into the game, I think.

Some YT speculation from MaxDood who has been right about almost everything so far and is super connected... his speculation was that it could end at a few different parts: All the weapons being summoned and your first boss of part 3 is Diamond Weapon, it could start at Junon redux or even standing at the top of the North Crater (which I don't understand as that is legitimately end game).

Oh they're 100000% changing shit. I'm still skeptical that they're going to make some HUGE changes (like a certain thing that happens in a certain city named after a race of people that are nearly extinct - I'm 99.9% sure thats still going to happen) but we're well beyond a 1 to 1 retelling of the original story.

Like if Zach shows up in a chariot and saves the day at said city, I won't even be able to finish the game but with all thats out there, I'm sure that isn't happening.

I think the call of meteor and the "rebirth" of a certain guy+ the summoning of the weapons is an easy end point if we're just looking at it from a narrative perspective, but there is SO MUCH GAME between leaving Midgar and that point. You can totally move some things around (e.g: make Wutai exclusively a pt 3 thing) but you'd literally cover the entire map aside from Wutai and Mideel by going in this direction. Lots of areas and stuff you can revisit and thats before getting into wonky timeline stuff, but it kind of seems like pt 2 would be overstuffed and pt 3 would be really light.

Oh yah. I absolutely agree on that certain thing that happens in a certain city named after a race of people that are nearly extinct is still going to happen. But I wouldn't be totally surprised if it can "un-happen" later in the game.

Honestly, even though it seems like the path of least resistance, it almost makes sense for it to end after that part. It then gives you the entire Icicle Inn part of the story as well. I'm so intrigued to see what they do with the gold saucer and chocobo racing tbh. One of my favorite parts of the game.

Saw the thread title and was not disappointed by the current responses.

I saw ads for this game a few months ago and was eagerly waiting for the drop.

For context. I have not bought a video game for myself in years. Recently bought an Acer Nitro 5 as my do-it-all laptop to replace my old Lenovo that was on the outs. Welp, might as well put all this power to good use.

Had my wify buy me two 8bitdo Pro 2 Bluetooth controllers for Fathers Day and had some fun with the kids in multi-player.

Now to unlock Casey Jones.

Another thing I love, the levels get harder, the enemies get smarter, have to rely on special moves to take some of them Down. You have to repeat levels level up your player or cannot make it past the later rounds.

My only disappointment, No Miyamoto Usagi. Lol.

Super annoying and super rewarding at the same time. Huge time sink, but it really added to the depth of the world and game for me and when you finally got the right one (with a little internet assistance and luck) it was exhilarating. FF8, my favorite FF, was just a huge chocobo disappointment (they felt it would retract from world realism which was dumb they could have figured it out), 9 brought it back with the hot and cold game which I loved.
 
I’m replaying Chrono Cross which recently came on the switch. Been a long time. I am convinced Glenn is Frog from Chrono Trigger. Even had the same name. There is even an X-Strike combo and his element is green. Come on now lol.

Sorry, geeking out there. Lol

Based , I love Chrono Cross it’s so under appreciated. And Mitsuda (the composer) is a verified genius.
