The game starts with an FMV of a tower surrounded by statuary of dragons. We are introduced to Razzly, Kid, and Serge. This may not be your group. The third member other than Serge and Kid rotates. As things start, head to the right. The left side just shows a power crystal. (your goal) Continue down the path and follow the left side of the screen until you reach the outside door. Pass up all of the side trips. Go straight to the back of the room. Your goal is to turn off the gem and transport from the circular platform in the middle of the room. Transport up to the upper platform and we are treated to a cinema. Arni Village, In The Beginning.. After the dream, Serge wakes up in his room with none of the oomph that he had in the tower. Oh well. Pilfer his savings, which are under the bed. Then head to the left to find a Tablet Element. Leave the room. Serge's mom berates him due to his sleepiness and the fact that Lenna came by looking for him. He was supposed to meet her earlier that morning, but before you go running off to your girlfriend. Head left when you leave the house. Talk with the fisherman near the swordfish, chose the second option and he will give you a kodomo scale. Continue left and talk to the old man. He will smack you around a bit in a training exercise. This will get you aquatinted with the combat and element usage in this game. Poshul is here too; he can be recruited now if you wish. I chose to pass this up right now. Since you can gain him later. Afterwards you can continue to the left and learn about the Records of Fate. (save points) Return to the main area of the village and head up to the pier. Lenna rags on you for now showing up and breaking your promise to her to help find the Kodomo scales. She wants you to get 3 Kodomo scales for her. (Note giving her ones that have been given to you wont work. She can tell) So leave and inspect the huts in the village. The first hut to your right is the fisherman's. Talk to the old lady she will give you hints on how to get those Kodomo pups. Then head down into the basement and talk to the guy there. He will give you a shark tooth and a story. Leave and go to the next hut and head to the back and into a smaller room inspect the bed and the chest. The bed will give you a Hekran bone (you can use this for Poshul if you want) and the chest will proffer an Ivory Helmet. Take note of the kid in-between the huts you can give him a Kodomo Scale that the sword fisher gave you. He will give you a treat. You can find a "Custom Frame" at the cart in the middle of the village. The Frames are little extras. It refers to the window that appears when any conversation takes place. Now leave the village. ~ What a Boy Will Do For Love ~ You will be on the world map. You can save your game now if you wish. Head down to the peninsula on your left. Lizard Rock -North- Push the rock out of your way. Now you can do many things here, you can explore this area and clear the monsters and, collect the chests. Or, you can confront the Kodomo pups as you go, and pick up chests on the way. I chose the latter. Take the middle path at the entrance. You will scare a kodomo with your movement. It will run into a passage, block it in with a rock. Now head to the upper path but before you do defeat the monster to the right and open the chest. You will receive a Fireball element. Now take the upper path. This will scare the Kodomo and, will trap it in the passage. All you will have to do is walk in and attack. Defeat the Kodomo Pup and you will receive your first Kodomo Scale. Now return to the main path and head down. You will run into another monster. You can run past it if you wish or attack. Continue left, you will scare another Kodomo pup. Head up to the fallen tree and defeat the monster on it. This clears the area and allows you to head down the path the creature was on. Walk to the very edge of the ledge. You can jump from here, but you need to time it just right to get that kodomo. There is a bit of a lag on Serge's part. Defeat the Kodomo and get your second scale. Go to the left and down past the monster. You will see a rock and a sunken chest. Push the rock in and the chest will float up. The chest will give up a Silver Loupe. (raises you Hit %) Continue up the left path to the next area. In the water, you will see a chest there are some steps on the outcropping near the bridge. Get the chest and receive a Tablet. Get back on the path and head up and, then to the left. You will soon bump into another Kodomo pup chase him around the path. You will soon catch up to him. Defeat it with physical attacks save your Elements. After you kill the Kodomo pup you will receive the wrath of the mother Kodomo! Use your Elements on her! After her defeat you receive your third scale and a Star. Boss Battle Kodomo mother Female Blue Innate Foes in this area Kodomo Pup Sand Squirt Beach Bum Male Male Male Blue Innate Blue Innate Blue Innate Now there are two more chests these are a bit tricky to get. Head to the left and down form the path you have been chasing the Kodomo around. You'll see a hole in the ground inspect it and you'll end up on the other side. Get the chest (Bone) defeat the monster and head out through the tunnel towards the top. There you'll find another chest (Ivory Helmet). Now leave the way you came. Head out by the left path. Now you will be at Opassa Beach. Save your game if entitled. Enter Opassa Beach and Lenna will interrupt you. Give her the scales. She will talk about a promise and other such things. Serge hears a voice and experiences a FMV. Then promptly passes out on the beach. Walkthrough Chrono Cross Disc 1 Part 2 Everything is not what it seems, Hey doesn't anyone know me? Opassa Beach / Lizard Rock Serge finds himself alone on Opassa beach. Except for the old lady from the village. Who does not seem to know him. Leave Opassa Beach and return to Arni, but you must pass through Lizard Rock again. This time there are different monsters. You can clear this area but I passed it up. Just take the lower path then head up past the lower area (where the fallen tree was.) and head back to Arni Village. Foes and Items in this area Chests Opah Fish Feather Male Ivory helmet Red Innate Bone Arni Village [Another] You will find no one remembers Serge. Head out to the pier to talk with Lenna. She will mention Cape Howl. Head back to the village and go into the first hut to the right. (Remember the fisherman's hut) Head to the Basement and try to give the man there the Shark Tooth. Inspect the idol that is in the mantel. Now leave and look into your old room. The lizard will rape you of 100g for sleeping. Behind all of the junk, you will find a Magmabomb Element. As you leave a woman enters and tells you to beat it out of her house. Look around in the restaurant. In the back room is a curtain where the chest was open it and voila the chest is behind it with a Tablet for you. Afterward head out to Cape Howl it is at the upper left of the map. It is just above Opassa Beach. Cape Howl Head up to the cliff; pick up the chests as you go. Chests: Bone, ElectroJolt Element Continue up to the top and inspect the grave.

  • Fall 2014 Concert Series
    Fall 2014 ConCert SerieS NIGEL HORNE, MUSIC DIRECTOR LAURA STAYMAN, CONCERT LEADER Saturday, December 13 - Herndon, VA Saturday, December 20 - Rockville, MD [Classical Music. Play On!] WMGSO.org | @WMGSO | fb/MetroGSO about the WMGSo The WMGSO is a community orchestra and choir whose mis- sion is to share and celebrate video game music with as wide an audience as possible, primarily by putting on affordable, accessi- ble concerts in the area. Game music weaves a complex, melodic thread through the traditions, values, and mythos of an entire culture, and yet it largely escapes recognition in professional circles. Game music has powerful meaning to millions of people. In it, we find deep emotion and basic truths about life. We find ourselves — and we find new ways of thinking about and expressing ourselves. We find meaning that transcends the medium itself and stays with us for life. WMGSO showcases this emerging genre and highlights its artistry. Incorporated in December 2012, WMGSO grew from the spirit of the GSO at the University of Maryland. About a dozen members showed up at WMGSO’s inaugural rehearsal. Since then, the group has grown to more than 60 musicians. The WMGSO’s debut at Rockville High School in June attracted an audience of more than 500. Also in June, the IRS accepted WMGSO’s appli- cation to become a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, opening even more opportunities for the orchestra to grow. adMiniStration Music Director, Nigel Horne Chorusmaster, Jacob Coppage-Gross President, Ayla Hurley Vice President, Joseph Wang Secretary, Laura Stayman Treasurer, Chris Apple Public Relations, Robert Garner Webmaster, Jason Troiano Event Coordinator, Diana Taylor Assistant Treasurer, Patricia Lucast supporters From securing rehearsal space and equipment rentals, to print- ing concert programs and obtaining music licenses, we rely on the support of our members and donors.

It is the world’s first collegiate ensemble to draw its repertoire exclusively from the soundtracks of video games. The ensemble is entirely student run, which includes conducting and musical arranging. In February of 2012 the GSO collaborated with Video Games Live!, for the performances at the Strathmore in Bethesda, Md. The National Philharmonic per- formed the GSO’s arrangement of “Korobeiniki” from Tetris to two sold-out houses.

Along the way, Crono teams up with people from across time including a noble knight who was turned into a frog, a sentient robot from the future, and a powerful warrior woman from the Mesozoic era.

Characters Crono – A young man from the village of Truce in 1000 AD.

Without Crono’s intervention, Lavos surfaces and destroys nearly all life on the planet in the year 1999 in order to prepare its “children” for their eventual departure to continue the cycle on other planets.

    “You Need Love and Friendship For This Mission!”: Final Fantasy VI, VII and VIII in generic and social context Ben Hourigan Department of English with Cultural Studies The University of Melbourne [email protected] 10 September 2004 Contents The Discourse of Videogames as Social Pathogens 1 The Videogame World as Novum 3 Some Comments on Genre in Videogames 5 Videogames in Social Context 6 FFVI-VIII in a context of perceived social malaise 13 Conclusion 23 Bibliography 24 The Discourse of Videogames as Social Pathogens For most of videogames’ public history,1 discourse about them has been marked by bouts of civil and governmental anxiety concerning their sup- posed ability to induce psychologically and socially pathological behavior. Some claims that the early coin-operated videogame industry was linked, however tenuously, to organized crime, have bases in fact (Kent 75-7). Yet some popular and academic commentators have attributed a mysterious, corrupting power to videogames, often oblivious to the actual details of 1I take this to begin in 1971, when Nutting Associates began shipping Nolan Bushnell’s Computer Space, the first arcade videogame (Kent xii). 1 their form and content and of their cultural contexts (see Squire). Where characterizations of videogames as social pathogens hinge on reference to actual instances of violent behavior allegedly inspired by specific games, they are frequently accompanied by unwarranted generalizations about the medium as a whole. Such generalizations have gone on to shape serious academic discussion of videogames. This essay offers a generically situ- ated and socially contextualized analysis of three games from the Final Fan- tasy series, to highlight the diversity and specificity of individual games.
