Specifically being manipulated by gods via sword

very good call on rake having a kain-like voice. ive always imagined ganoes paran as sounding a little bit like raziel given their shared distaste for being manipulated by gods

oh no i fear you have just overwritten the icarium jpeg that lives in my mind

ive always pictured icarium as looking kinda like kain in the soul reaver games, but i will freely admit that is probably a misfiring neuron more than anything

its a bop tho

30 years later, i cannot see a rabbit without thinking that it will meet the black rabbit of inle one day

I def consider it one of the few perfect games I've ever played. Chrono cross is also worth a look- it is very thematically rich and Absolutely Freaked Out about being a sequel to chrono trigger. One of those total swerves you only get from a project trying to follow up a masterpiece

A top five doesn't even let me get all the bole brothers in

Oh my god this would fix me

“I’ve already depicted you as the inept Curdle and myself as the Competent Telorast!”
“Well *I’ve* depicted you as the foolish Telorast and myself as the wise Curdle!”
And so on for hours until Not-Apsalar tells them to shut up

God there are so many scenes like this where I feel my neurons trying to form a connection but I'm just not quite there. Happens a lot when elder gods show up and start talking to each other, I just vibe with it

Uh I guess tank controls or very unintuitive menuing are the most prevalent ps1 era annoyances i run into
