I will say the sub-plot with Nikki, Fargo, and the whole "saving Marbule with a song" is kinda strange. Granted not like everything you did in CT was central to the main plot or anything, but it is still a STRANGE portion of the game.

Got the Fiddler Crab and saw the Masamune and going to grab Garai's Einlanzer to counteract it!

Critic average is 7.4, hrmmmm

It feels weird to see a Hollow Knight clone

You can clone worse things.

This thinking will continue to never make sense to me

This. Free games are free.

Never played, but if it's anything like Monster Boy and The Cursed Kingdom I'll definitely love it. Can't wait.

Cursed Kingdom is a spiritual successor.

Anyone watching Digimon Ghost Game? Doesn't have awesome reviews but I do like myself some Digimon content...

what is the secret of his power?

He turns into different monsters which have different powers in a game that is kinda a Metroidvania before the term was ever coined

I love how Serge's mom believes that her son is now in Lynx's body. Also the little bread crumbs about the Sea of Eden and the change that happened in your dad when he washed up there during a storm some 14 years back!

Biggest disappointment ever. Ever.

You are free to have that opinion. I think CC is brilliant and more importantly, a fantastic game in its own right.

Body swap! It blew my mind as a kid. I love that Kid figured it out right away too, but not before Lynx could stab her right in the guts. Also the change to Serge's character picture when Lynx is in his body is just so damn cool.

Also, the weird painting world you enter directly after Lynx tells you to go to the Sea of Eden? Fucking gorgeous!

uhh... the shit storm of the plot is dumb as fuck.

It gets a little convoluted but if you pay attention it pays off especially well.

And Lynx stabs General Viper in the back... as one does.

I've always loved the visions of Serge stabbing Kid. As a kid it threw me for a loop.

College degrees would likely indicate they are educated enough to get the fuck out of Arizona.

Frosch is such a weird looking character that it's fine it looks weird in Pop Figure style.

Alright Pop Figures... you finally got me with one.

You can't handle the penis!!

No, that is the "Time Egg"

Crono is the Chrono Trigger

Note: I realize these wiki's can be wrong from time to time, but that was my understanding of it.

Wait, what?

Crono in CT was literally the Chrono Trigger

It is the egg used to bring Crono back to life. It isn't a person, it is an item.

Lynx calls you the "Chrono Trigger" in Viper's Manor like 2 hours into the game.

Eh, it doesn't make sense for a person to be the "Chrono Trigger" in context of what you know from CT's plot. While he does use the word, it almost feels like it was a mistranslation.

Going back to Other World and running into Mt. Pyre quickly brings you back into the immediate stuff going on rather than the CT influence as you have to fight the other Acadian Dragoons (though they are a cake walk at this point) and go through that dungeon. Love the little peak at some sort of monster you can talk to or fight or whatever later, plus the little fight with the mini dragon.

Finished up with the Water Dragon. First things first, fucking love how it looks. A weird amalgam of different aquatic creatures, it doesn't strike you as a "dragon" at first. However, when you later understand how the dragons came to be and what they symbolize, it is just cool.

Also, the first true link to Chrono Trigger starts right in this scene where you find out that Kid was adopted by Lucca, but also knew Marle and Chrono. She was kidnapped by Lynx and never to be seen again. Paints a pretty dark picture for it being a sequel to CT for sure, but it does let you know that yeah, it's the same universe. Or lets you THINK it is the same universe. But if you played CT you know you were fucking with time and there were like a dozen different endings so which ending are you now playing the sequel in?!?!

Likely to play more tonight! Headed back to Home World and gonna go see the Water Dragon.

Do you find out who saved Kid with this route?

Nobody else following me into despair with Made in Abyss?
