Hi, guys. Just as the title says. It seems to involve time travel and, apparently, the first boss you fight is actually yourself in disguise trying to stop yourself because killing the final boss ends up destroying the world. According to him, it has to be either a genesis or snes jrpg, and he doesn't think it's a fan-translated or unreleased fan-game / bootleg rom. I'm intrigued because I've played almost any officially translated snes and genesis jrpg and, thought I know of several games with similar plot (like Elnard and the like), nothing comes to mind with that exact plot twist. This is the reddit thread he opened: https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/ ... e_name_of/ Some people has told him perhaps he's mixing the plot of several games and/or he's remembering incorrectly, but I don't know. If all this rings a bell to someone... |

Odysselya was officially translated (as "Lost Mission") but never released. Nintendo Power said the translation was terrible so maybe it would be worth translating anyways rather than waiting to see if a proto ever turns up. (I have done decompression on it, but it looks like it has some kind of scripting code that would have to be worked out to dump the text. It was maybe like the third RPG I attempted to fan-translate, so I kind of want to work on it sometime. But I'm now only coming close to wrapping up the FIRST "hard to hack" RPG I attempted, RPG Maker. Second was probably its sequel.) |

It is a game that has piked my interest since read its plot involves time travel. Also worth mentioning that he overworld map is shaped like the Earth, a la Terranigma style: http://odysselya.matrix.jp/index.php?pl ... B%B3_s.png (That island's shape to the lower right of Africa, though.. lol) It's one of the games I'd like to play someday, as well as its sequel. In the end, the guy who asked on reddit about that game with that strange ending said that perhaps his friend mixed the plot of several jrpgs in his head, so it might be that the game they're looking for doesn't really exist after all. Apart from the similar plot in Paladin's Quest that Kain611 mentioned I also remember, in Glory of Heracles III, something similar happening , but not at the end of the game. |

Glory of Heracles IV isn't quite time travel but still something. Spoiler! :
