Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Anybody gotten Draggy early?

By that, I mean getting him as soon as you have access to Home World's boat. He's surprisingly good at that point. His element grid is limited, but is magic and attack power are a point or so behind Radius', which is pretty good in my book. He also get's his Lv. 7 tech skill earlier than the other characters, which makes him really useful during the Porre invasion scenario. Plus, there's the unintentional humour factor of killing Garai, destroying the Dead Sea and running Porre out of Termina with a overly-cute dragon baby by your side.

Maybe it's just me, but personally, I think the Compendium can do w/o the innane, bogus GameFAQs-esk crap threads like this one...

HELL YES. I consider this place to be a faily smart community, so to me crap like this doesn't fit here.

Zophar's Domain is only about the emulation community, such as the actual emulators and homebrewed demos, not ROMs.

BTW, I've already given him a site via PM. Feel free to close the topic.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / where can i buy the prerelease and how is it different?

Buy the PR? lol. Just get the ROM. Most of the PR carts out there are probably the ROM put on a flash cart anyways. :/

Back to the original subject, I recall hearing about a demo desk that allows the player to explore Opassa Beach and one of the overworlds with Serge, Kid and Glenn. That could be what this "beta" is.

For a homebrew app. it looked pretty damn good, though. It's better than most of the crap you see out there.

1) Could probably be a proportioning problem. That happens sometimes in CT.

2) Did you take any screenshots, by chance? I'm have a feeling that you're right, as from the small area you can see when you go there via Epoch, you can't see any sprites (Gaspar and the little dot that's on Lavo's bucket) and I presume the gates are sprites.

Oh, and welcome aboard.

General Discussion / Yay, a Metroid self-insertion fanfic!

« on: December 28, 2004, 06:30:26 am »

Hey all, I've got another project, but I think this one is going to work out better than the others.

I don't have all the details yet, but I've got a pretty good idea of what's going to happen in this game.

The Beginning (told in a narrative):

Sixteen years ago, Samus Aran was the highest ranking bounty hunter throughout the galaxy. She fought many successful battles against the Metroids and the Space Pirates, who strived to become the dominant species of the universe. The Pirate Armada had been weakened, and their forces pushed to one planet: SM-49. It was here that Samus once again defeated the Space Pirates. All went perfectly, until...

*shows Samus running down a hallway explosions around her*
PA System: "Self-Destruct in one minute."

Narrative: Samus had successfully initiated a self-destruct sequence in the Pirate Base, and was escaping from the resulting explosions.

*a group of metroids smash through a wall*

Narrative: The Metroids, fierce, energy-syphoning creatures, had been bred on SM-49 as well.

*Samus spins around and blasts a few of the metroids*
PA System: "Self-Destruct in thirty seconds."

Narrative: They were once no match for Samus, but they would prove a most powerful foe, even in extinction.

*Samus opens the door, and starts to run out, but there's a huge explosion behind her, and several metroids smash into her armor.*
PA system: "Fifteen seconds"
*Samus limps back to her ship, panting, and flies off, leaving the planet to explode*

Narrative: Badly hurt from the explosion, Samus traveled to the nearby Space Station, Sirius, seeking medical attention.

*Samus is in a large tank, with lots of tubes hooked up to her*

Narrative: She had recieved no physical damage, but suffered great and increasing illness.

*Shows spinning DNA*

Narrative: Finally, after a DNA test, the problem was found.

*A large piece of the DNA breaks off and is replaced by blue particles&

Narrative: The Metroid DNA had come into contact with her skin, causing a genetic mutation to rupture throughout her body. Unfourtunately, genetic reconstruction was impossible, as the cells had divided rapidly and could not be destroyed or modified in time. The condition was deemed terminal.

*Shows Samus on a hospital bed, a man in a lab coat next to her*

Narrative: Before Samus' death, the scientists at Sirius wanted to preserve some of her mutated cells to continue their research on the metroids and how to use them to better mankind. She agreed. A small mass of cells was preserved. Samus died later that day, as her mutating bodily structure could not support her any longer.

*shows a large capsule containing a small blue blob; scientists are working around it*

Narrative: The cells were kept and studied for two years. There were no significant discoveries. That is, until one of the scientists accidentally administered an electric shock to the cells. The results were amazing: The cells divided rapidly, and had an extremely high metabolism when induced to a constant electrical stream. Intrigued, the scientists introduced the cells to a constant shock.

*shows an embryo in the tank*

Narrative: Within two days, the cells had regenerated into a living embryo, and within a week, the scientists had a newborn child.

*shows a scientist holding a baby*
Narrative: The scientists were baffled. The child was male, a strange phonomonon. If this child came from Samus' cells, the child would have become an exact clone, gender as well. The child's genetic structure was studied, only to find more intriguing results.

*shows another DNA structure, half of it is blue*
Narrative: The child's DNA structure had even more Metroid chromosomes than Samus; a 1:1 ratio of metroid to human.

*scientists in conference*
Narrative: The scientists debated if the child experiment should be terminated. Some were worried he would be a wave of destruction against the human race, others argued from a observational standpoint, wanting to view the hybrid's activities. Finally, one of the lead scientists had a brilliant idea.

*One scientist standing up*
Narrative: The hybrid would be injected with a special hormonal suppressant, that would halt any activities of the metroid DNA, allowing for study without worry of the hybrid becoming inhuman. In complete agreement, the scientists built a hormone, and injected it.

*Shows the DNA, the blue turns yellow*
It worked quickly, dulling and halting all metroid activities in the hybrid's body. Without hesitation, the hybrid was adopted, and named "X", as a connotation of a cross, but to keep relations between the hybrid and humans friendly, he was given the name "Xeno".

*Screen turns black*
It has been fourteen years, the hybrid had grown up in Sirius. Unaware of the reason for the seemingly nameless discrimination against him, Xeno lived as a loner, contained in the Sirius. The only person who had ever excepted him, was Damien, the son of the lead scientist, and a powerful inventor. They could only relate to each other, and both agreed, they had to escape their prison-like lives and seek a more adventurous life-style. This is their story; my story. I am the hybrid: Xeno Aran.

*game begins*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's really a plot for a game, but who cares? There's no sex involved! This is a milestone for Metroid Self Insertioners everywhere!

Also notice that the author ignored Metroid Fusion AND Metroid Prime completely! Hurray for BS "AUs"!

Last time I had someone translate any of it was before we started hacking in, so it was just stuff from the readily available areas. Nothing really interesting came up.

From the stuff he translated, did he find anything like Gobb's House?

No, we were just looking at dialogue.

Not surprising, really. Things like dialogue were probably pruned from the ROM before it was given to dealers.
