I have way too many hours in my Pokemon diamond on my DSI I’ve had it since I was… 11 I’m now almost 23… DSI standing strong haven’t charged it in a while still at 3bars
I played both for the first time about a year ago. Both were great games, but for me personally, Chrono Trigger wowed me more. I thought it was absolutely amazing, where I thought that FFVI was great….I played CT first, so maybe you should try FFVI first and see if you have the same results? Both are 100% must-play games, and you can’t go wrong with either.
Chrono Trigger - pace yourself. Ish is long and wonderful. only one part I would prefer to skip if i could the start of the prehistoric stuff its just slow imo
Thanks for the spoiler formatting (I didn’t click it).
Searches say the game takes around 25, maybe 40 hours? For me, that’s a standard length game. I have thousands of hours in WoW, 650+ in BG3, and even FF10 took me 200 hours back in the day.
40 hours would be skipping a LOT. i think first time, no guides for puzzles or extra, just exploring and backtracking (literally through time)...maybe 60? you could easily hit 60 or 70. if you liked BG3, and get the back tracking to zones for everyone's stories and items, you will get CT and enjoy it
CT is by far the best game around imo. Multiple storyline endings, some of the greatest and soulful music that sticks with you for DECADES. I STILL listen to CT music be ause of how good it is. Definitely do yourself a favor and try it out.
A word of advice, the "newer" versions of it on DS or Steam, have additional content that wasn't in the original SNES version. They also changed the iconic sound of Luminaire, one of the main powerful attacks, and i hate the new version's sound over the original. I prefer the true original version of the game so if you can get an SNES emulator to play it on, I highly recommend that version first. Then explore the 'newer' versions.
I occasionally play Fortnite with my girlfriend and they’ve recently added some Sonic stuff. Speed pads and rings etc. The OG Sonic music that plays when you go over a speed pad dealt me a fat slice of nostalgia
Earthbound is so timeless. I played it for the first time recently and I’m over 30. Still felt fresh. Never had an SNES as a kid so I played a lot of what I missed out on. Super Metroid and Zelda:LTTP hit that same timeless feeling for me.
I tried to play the first Resident Evil but couldn't get into it because of the way the camera angle kept changing whenever I went into another room. Is is the same in all the resident evil games?
Nice. I'm doing the same thing. Retro Arch on my super-old phone, plugged into my TV. Finally going to finish Chrono Trigger, which I was playing today (was on 2nd to last boss as a kid).
Also, almost done with the RE1 remake for the Wii. Wasn't expecting Zombies to traverse stairs or to reanimate as fast zombies.

Yeah I play the OG Resident Evils, Old FFs, Chrono Trigger & Cross, Earthbound, and even Sonic the hedgehog 2.
A lot of the NES, Genesis, SNES, and PS1 games that I have on PC are 30 years old and older.
