… are there any old jrpgs that like… actually do a fake out ‘big party for quaint place’, but its like, the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd act, but makes you think its just the end of the game?
Closest I can think is trials of mana. I think you got everything you needed then you go to the final area and then you find out you had to revisit all locations or something like that? Again, been a while so I might be wrong
Hmmm did golden sun have a ceremony at the start? Been so long
I think so, basically?
I know Chrono Trigger does… and Dragon Warrior 3… either you’re meeting with the King, or it’s like an actual formal ball or something?
Tho chrono trigger didn’t have everyone in the village dying. No idea about dragon warrior.
Dragons dogma has everyone dying but no ceremony either

Chrono Chross kind of was like that… The intro wasn’t in a peaceful village or anything. But it put you in a later game area with a full party.
Not everyone dies in dragon’s dogma, Grigory basically destroys like a house and marks you then fucks off.
I dont think we get to know all the nameless npcs that die but in theory its a pretty big battle but yeah, not everyone dies
That’s exactly the one I thought of!
