You can just paste the rest of the photos in a comment. Lemmy can host it locally or you can link to something like imgur.

I will do it right now I'm on mobile so it's kinda meh but I have some screenshot from the first area that I need to clear up a bit

[โ€“] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

You can do it, we believe in you!

[โ€“] Afflictedlife@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah the bug muck. I once made it to the Greek area before moving on to seiken densetsu 3 which I also did not finish because I went back and played through chrono trigger again even though I've finished it like 5 times on multiple platforms. Why some games never get finished is a mystery. It's not a bad game for square usa's first game.

[โ€“] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean, chrono trigger is chrono trigger after all.

[โ€“] Afflictedlife@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yes very magnetic, very hard to resist. Let us know when you reach the new area eh?

[โ€“] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The alchemy system is really unique.

[โ€“] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

It's more interesting than the magic sistem in secret of mana, and maybe more balanced. Secret of mana is the closest game to this one in terms of mechanic, but there's a certain tiger boss that is required to unlock the magic system and it's something else entirely.

[โ€“] Afflictedlife@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago

But I liked chain casting infinite moon mp drain and damage spells to kill lock every boss.

[โ€“] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

That tiger in SoM is so awful.

[โ€“] jimmux@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I always wondered why Secret of Mana gets the attention, and Evermore is largely forgotten. It has a doggy companion!

[โ€“] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I don't feel like the story telling was as good in Evermore. Secret of Mana grabbed me a lot more with it's characters and it's difficulty, and I always loved the plot despite some pretty obvious flaws. The music is still one of the best ever soundtracks too.

I think Evermore also got completely overshadowed by Chrono Trigger being released just 2 months before in the US.

[โ€“] jimmux@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

It was a very basic story with a self-insert character, probably intended for a younger audience. That worked very well for me at the time. I think it was my first RPG so I really enjoyed getting lost in those environments.

[โ€“] asmoranomar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Evermore also had a lot of bugs. I remember getting softlocked so many times in the game. SoM had a few bugs too, but I didn't recall being softlocked as often.

[โ€“] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Iโ€™ve beaten them both a few times. Iโ€™m not sure you can get softlocked in mana, but yeaahhhh getting softlocked in Evermore is brutal!

[โ€“] 0li0li@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

More pics please

That's wild, I was just thinking of a replay. Do you know about RetroAchevements? The achievements kind of give me goals which have helped me actually finish these games.

Edit: I wanna add that I was thinking it'd be good to play with my 3yo, I don't think she can mess anything up playing as the dog lol

[โ€“] taiyang@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like quite a few completionist achievements, too. Totally my thing (with a guide) although people who don't wanna grind for a day at endgame might just want to go for the "beaten" status. Lol

[โ€“] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

I forgot about this game but I LOVED it as a kid

[โ€“] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Looks a bit like the ending of Earhbound.

[โ€“] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have never played this game but I legit feel like I have. Like it's been in a dream. Mind if I ask what it's like?

[โ€“] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's an action adventure rpg where you whack enemies with ever more powerful sticks and weapons that takes place in a fully different location known as evermore, accessible through the lab of a secret scientist from some American town named "podunk" in the 60's. Especially the lab, it feels eerie enough to be an end game area. The town of podunk is basically the setup so you don't get to see much, but it's cool to see a modern day location in an rpg that isn't earthbound.
