I do try to be like Glenn. I just keep failing. I try to be a good man. But it doesn’t seem to matter.

[@grayden8670]

@@benkirkmeyer4817 It matters even if it doesn't seem like it. Even Glenn as a frog, being just as good if not better than he was as a human was shunned and didn't get the recognition he deserved because of his appearance. But that didn't stop him from being good. You should be that way because you believe it's the right thing to do, not because of how others react or whether or not it gets recognized. You're still making the world a better place even if it doesn't seem like it and everyone else around you doesn't seem to care

[@giovanniprovost]

@@benkirkmeyer4817 It does matter, if you align your thinking to make sure it matters. I don't say this as a negative, but sometimes doing the good for the sake of good seems to be the right way to live, even if it sucks. That's my 2c and I think about what you said often as well. You are right, I am right as well, it's just how we choose to perceive the things we do and why we choose to do them.

[@Scudboy17]

I'll never forget playing thru this scene on my SNES back in 96. I still get that ASMR feeling when this song plays. The great thing about Chrono Trigger is EVERY playable character has a great power up, emotionally transformational moment on the game. None of them are as epic as Frog's, but they all get stronger by overcoming thier past. Quite a remarkable story telling mechanic used to perfection in this game. You don't need over the top fireworks and absurd power levels in a game, you just need to feel that your characters matter and that they are stronger not due to some random Mcguffin thrown their way, but by truly bettering themselves in an emotionally impactful way. It's a truth most game makers and Hollywood script writers forget.

[@KingZylo]

Well said brother, I feel like this game has caused a new evolutionary phase in those who have played it. I can't quite find the words to describe it but I just know anyone who has experienced this game must understand my sentiments.

Little fun thing i discovered just now (sadly just now): Finn and Nagi from Evertale are bascialy CHRONO AND FROG. Their SSR versions can carry their respective weapons AND their personality is near 100% that of those 2 (thou seeing Frog/Glenn compliment everything that is female, even when it would be a trap, would be somewhat hilarious tbh.). Nagi = Frog, can wield the Greatsword/2 Handed Sword , while Finn = Chrono, can wield the Katana. Their movesets are also more align with chrono trigger on SSR rank sooo dont ever even tell me Evertale is bad when it has those 2 hero's in it! (and Nagi is a fucking FROG btw. wich makes that even more awesome, thou finn does not look like a badass hero sadly..)

[@tmbcyberman]

What sucks is that the marketing for the game is trying to attract the horror game crowd where if it instead tried to attract the RPG/anime crowd it would be liked 1000% more. Imagine if instead of the pokemon horror ads we currently have they switched it to anime-style adaptations of moments in the game's story. The game's sales would be through the roof and it wouldn't have any bad reputation, allowing people to see it shine for what it is

Just as Cyrus is Roland and Glenn is Oliver, the slicing of the mountain is a reference to the Gap of Roland (also called Roland's Breach), a stone formation that was supposedly created when Roland tried to destroy his sword (Durendal) in order to keep it out of the hands of his enemies by slashing the mountainside.
