Ocean Palace is right after you fight the guy with the hands that heals the head you were playing them a few days ago

how many hours have you logged dsheinem? I'm 8+ in my game, though I've bounced around to other games too as you know. Kind of curious what a normal playthrough tends to take? I must say, I really like Chrono Trigger -- but it's far from being a favorite 16bit RPG to me. I don't know. I guess there's a lot of things I really like about it, but then there's things that just don't do it for me. I feel like it's VERY GOOD but not this amazing, earth-shattering game I always heard it was supposed to be.

yeah I'm sure it was. I don't know. I'm not complaining. Like I said, I like it. I just haven't quite fallen for it yet. This might be hilarious, but I think I genuinely hated the cavegirl so much, and hated the writing in those 600 BC parts of the game so much that it kind of killed the momentum for me. I like the Frog stuff a lot though. Was the English localization the same across the board for all ports of the game, or was the cavegirl less annoying in another version?

I am about 17 or 18 hours in, but haven't played in a few days. I think it will take me close to 25. It keeps getting better, I assure you. You've basically seen the first act and maybe some of the second. There's much less caveman stuff later too.

[noiseredux]

is there a way that I could just murder all the cavemen, or would that stir up some Butterfly Effect shit and leave me with spoons for hands?

one of the caveman might be your ancestor, it could ruin your existent.
