There is such a vibe to it that is really hard to explain. It's not about the overall story as it's written (since it's pretty straight forward) but the experience and how all the details come together that give it more depth and make it special.
I'll just leave this here:

Playing Terranigma has been such a surreal experience, it has everything I would have wanted in a classical RPG. Ive been dying to play a magic theme based game with real time combat. I love that it starts off in a underground civilization. It reminds me so much of Agartha, the underground civilization in hollow earth myth!
Farewell studio Gainax, I still think the end of Evangelion is one of the most beautifully done animations in history so far. I'll never forget that scene where Asuka was fighting the angels. I probably rewatched that scene over 30 times because I was so in awe of it.
I think it's absolutely insane that we have people climbing Mt. Everest. People go up there to prove something but what people may not realize is that you actually are setting a dangerous bar for what excitement is if you succeed. It's a new level since you were face to face with death.
Nothing would ever compare at that point.
It was only earlier today that I was able to finally realize and admit that I do have one addiction: An extremely unhealthy obsession with trying to solve existential mysteries.
At first, one would think the thirst for knowledge of what matters most can't possibly go wrong for you as this is something I believe is innate in all humans...
...but if it's the only thing one finds genuinely fun, then you'll inevitably lead yourself towards a very creative fate. The kind that is irreversible, transformative, maybe even transcendental...
...but if you're unaware of all the forces moving you forward, you will find, only when it's too late, that though your curiosities were authentic and merited, you somehow simultaneously led yourself right back to, how should I put it (?)...
that "eternal nightmare you couldn't remember", until now.
-- Here, in the belly of eternity itself; --
And so you summon the last fuel of your consciousness to become aware that you were only on time to look back at where you came from as you ask yourself how you got into this mess.
But all you see are the last photons illuminating a mouth of unimaginable grandiosity as it closes shut on a world you failed to fully appreciate, realizing too late that it's beauty, now ephemeral to you, serves only to give weight to the suffering of knowing you'll never be there ever again.
Goodbye to your loved ones. They will miss you and suffer missing you as they'll never know what happened.
And that farewell marks the first unconditional embrace to welcome you inside.
But there is no sound, just the thought:
A simple knowing that came from your travels during your heroic quest for "deeper truths".
You know this is worse than horrible.
But you can't help but smile here in the vast open black, remembering that dreadful line, "Enter now, into the maws of the Leviathan".
The end of all mysteries.
You and God are truly equals here.
Because you're both stuck here.
And now this is your reality and all that you know. All that you are and will ever perceive.
Congratulations on getting to the end of the game, "hero".
Anne is such a adorable little hero!!! Her being herself changes everyone's lives!! She's the purest most beautiful angel ever. Im gonna see if I can get paid for cosplaying her at the tourist attractions in PEI.
@randyR_93 I've been meaning to say this but I love the set up. It's so simple but so peaceful with the plants. I'd love to see some of your playing sometime when you're comfortable!
What ppl don't realize is one of the big reasons I stand by her and guard her dreams is because of her origin story. I think anyone who knows everything that happened to her as a child would naturally feel a strong pull towards being protective and supportive of her.
So the ppl who spoke ill or wished negativity towards her years ago have no idea worse things already happened a long long time ago. That also means y'all were jealous over someone who, by the time she was in the public eye, already climbed herself out of a Hell you wouldn't be able to imagine. This was long before she even met me.
Why else would someone like me, who answers to no one and bows to no one, be here? And why would someone like me, grow for the sake of someone else?
You all have no idea.
Ppl have no idea what my best friend goes through and what she *has* gone through, so for all the unnecessary things that had to happen that added to the struggles of the adult her...
...the day will come when all that is owed will work its magic.
And believe me, a lot is owed.
I have to say that I'm impressed in every regard. Claire Obscur: Expedition 33 is so far proving to be a masterpiece.
This and Nier:Automata are two of the greatest pieces of storytelling with a drive to help us face and understand the deeper parts of being human.
Getting my fear friend @randyR_93 to pick up again his piano has to be one of the greatest things that I felt like I could have ever done for anyone. Im so happy for him!!! Maybe one day @randyR_93 you and me can write music together.
What do you mean how quickly it is to bring that up? You do realize the three of us are roommates. We're usually only a room or a few feet away so everyone hears about what happens. Criticism is one thing but hiding your intentions behind it and using it as an attack on the person themselves because of your unhealthy obsession with them is another thing. I watched Lana reply to you in front of my face every single time fyi. The only person who has been as you say "gaslighting" this whole conversation is you to yourself. You had to be blocked SO many times it's actually astounding. Think about how that looks. Have you ever asked yourself how you look to people about this? Ask anyone that isn't part of your echo chamber. They'll tell you. The amount of energy you put into shitting on someone to still jerk off to them while sharing their work like you're some kind of "hero" to your fellow "bros" is so LAME dude.
I'm telling you this because you really need to step back and work on yourself.
Oh that's cool! I like the look. Very pirate like to me, reminds me a bit of Space Pirate Captain Harlock (he's from an older anime series). I love the color of the wings because it gives it a Pirate Captain feel. I love the model too. Do you build gunplay often? I only did it one time but it was such a relaxing thing to do.
I'll watch that as soon as I get the chance.
