Isn’t this just Chrono Trigger?
Best damn game of all time!!!
Worth playing even today?
The game mechanics and pixel graphics (not to mention the great soundtrack) aged amazingly well. I’m super biased though
Absolutely. It is a very short JRPG that wastes no time and has no filler. I finish it about monthly.
The only discernible flaw is that one dialog box is missing a closing quotation mark.
But the world refused to change
Isn’t this the twist to Darkest Dungeon?
In DnD I believe it is called a Tarrasaque
There was a Dr who episode with this plot, but the insect inside the earth was a spider.
Also, basically, that episode about the moon.

She got what she deserved
Insect + big + magic as caulking for the highest-level plot holes, then let the geopolitics trickle down.
Bam. World created.
Fun fact: lengths of cicada cycles are usually prime numbers to minimize overlap between emergences of different species.
Somewhere in the universe, the 2^136,279,841 − 1 cicada bides its time
Honestly? Sounds like a fun campaign
Chrono Trigger is fun!
Is that essentially what that game is about? I never played it on account of the fact that it came out 5 years before I was born.
Yep. Early game, you accidentally time travel to the past. You fix what got broken by the time travel incident, get back, and go through a kangaroo court. You escape from that, find another portal, and after fighting your way through some futuristic ruins, you find out this mountain-sized porcupine-looking thing with a graboid head erupted out of the ground shooting lasers everywhere, and the rest of the game revolves around preventing that.
Celestials.
This year they came out in droves, to the point where their sound was ear-splitting and drowned out most of the cars on the major road I live on. The sound is one of the worst things I have ever heard (intense bug phobia)… so yeah, fuck everything about this.
At this point it might be doing us a favor to just put us out of our misery.
World of Warcraft fans seething right now.
