CA is a game mode that takes place in an alternate dimension or such. C can't be bothered to become a hero so he asks October to do it for him. The campaign is roughly the same length as the main game. CA features 3 kind of 2 new story party members, completely different bosses including a replacement for DEM, and a different final dungeon.
The other dungeons keep there old layout but I'd say it is different enough to be a fun experience. Per page: 15 30 In short, Cthulhu is a squid-headed being of unknowable evil, an ancient thing that sleeps in the sea and is particularly skilled at making people go crazy.
At the outset of Cthulhu Saves the World , this bastion of ancient might emerges from the sea only to have his powers stripped. Naturally, he's kind of annoyed. In order to get them back Cthulhu must play the role of the hero, saving the world one piece at a time in order to regain his dark power and, presumably, proceed to then destroy it.
To use a less obscurely nerdy comparison, it's sort of like if Sauron from The Lord of the Rings was forced to lead the Fellowship and planned to thwart it at Mount Doom.
Verdict Poking fun at H. Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos in the framework of a classical Japanese role-playing game may not be the most obvious choice when dreaming up a game.
Yet that's exactly what Zeboyd Games chose to make, and with Cthulhu Saves the World, pulled it off with great success. It's a surprisingly entertaining adventure, deeply respectful of its source material, and not afraid to make jokes and game design adjustments where appropriate. Though the story is always good for a laugh, the gameplay drags toward the end, and if you missed out on old Final Fantasy games or aren't familiar with Lovecraft some of the humor won't make as much sense.
Still, for its sliver of a target audience — traditional Japanese role-playing fans that happen to love H. Lovecraft's stories — Cthulhu Saves the World is a perfect fit. For the rest, it's still easy to enjoy, even if you don't get all the jokes. Was this article informative? YES NO.
