Just so you know

So, in my second blog, I posted about the ending of Final Fantasy VIII. It turns out that you can find these things on the internet, so here it is. The song in it is called "Eyes On Me." It actually played a fairly large role in the plot. That makes it okay. In Final Fantasies IX, X, and XII, there used some crappy J-Pop song as well. However, those songs were just there to help sell the soundtracks, so fuck those. They sucked anyway. By the time FFX came out, they had become too lazy to even translate the songs for us, so we were stuck with "Sutaki De Ne." What the Hell is that? I don't remember what song they used for XII, but everything else about that game sucked anyway.

Well, here's something very pretty. The music and the animation go very well together. After 4 discs of gameplay, this was a nice treat. Though this is actually only part of the ending, but whatevs.

So I just beat Chrono Trigger again...

This game is awesome, like in every way. Graphics, story, gameplay. Seriously. But that doesn't mean that I'm not going to nerd it the Hell up right now. Here goes.

So, you go through these time gates to specific points of time, hence the name "Chrono Trigger." However it would appear that the gates travel through time along with you, becuase if you spend a day in the year 1000 A.D. and then go to the year 600 A.D., a day will have passed in that time as well. This makes the story-telling far easier. HOWEVER, this rule does not apply to all gates. There is one in a bucket at the End of Time that will take you to the "Day of Lavos,":

Lavos is the last boss. But you see, no matter when you decide to use this gate, it will always be to the exact same moment in time: right when Lavos is attacking the planet. It doesn't make sense. Between the first and second visits to 600 A.D., Zenan Bridge is repaired, but this other gate thinks it can break all of the rules. Lame. Well, whatever. Play the fuck out of this game. It is marvelous. There's a frog knight named Frog! That's awesome!
