I wanted to write children’s books when I grew up, partly due to my parents’ influence. But I also loved games, and I wanted to do something that would make other children happy. I first started playing games in 4th or 5th grade, with things like Arkanoid and Tennis. Then, when I was in middle school, it became possible to play games at home, so my family bought me a computer. I would manually type out the code from game magazines and play games that way.

Dreams in Terranigma

Have you noticed that the game begins with a dream (the Continental Souls getting entrapped in the Five Towers) and Ark waking up, and ends with Ark going to sleep and another dream?

Ponderables: Ever Wonder Why?

  • On the title screen, what place is that?
  • Where does Ark get all that gel for his hair?
  • Isn’t it boring in Crysta? What do people do all day?
  • Where to all the people in Crysta sleep?
  • Why can’t Ark hand the cooking lady the pot she asked for?
  • How come Ark has to equip his clothes at the beginning of the game? Is he naked?
  • Why can’t Ark carry more then nine of each item?
  • And why can he buy more than one of each spear or armor? You never uses more than one!
  • Why are there incan statues on the Underworld towers?
  • Why do monsters explode?
  • Are Cadets male or female?
  • Why didn’t the fortuneteller or the merchants in Crysta freeze?
  • For that matter, why did only humans and chickens freeze? What about the butterflies in the snowglasses (or whatever those tiny things are) or the pumpkins or the trees or even the grass? Aren’t they living beings? Haven’t they got a soul?
  • Why doesn’t anyone notice that half the city is frozen?
  • What is Elle weaving for the Elder in Chapter 1?
  • Why hasn’t anyone left Crysta before Ark? I mean, they could go through the forest… or go down the river…
  • In the continent ressurection scene, there’s a part where the screen zooms out of the world map… Well why is everything just a little bit different? And why is Mu there, if it hasn’t been ressurected yet?
  • Who tied the rope that leads to the King of Kingbirds’s nest?
  • How does grass grow so quick in Zue?
  • Why are the nomads so paranoid with not talking to strangers?
  • How do cities expand so fast?
  • Why don’t the pictures in Sylvain Castle match their description?
  • On the ship from Litz to Freedom, where does the crew sleep?
  • How does Keinz get to every town before you do?
  • How does Ark navigate his boat and fly his plane without a crew?
  • How does Ark use the 3-Part-Rod like a normal everyday spear?
  • Why does Mosque have an airfield?
  • Why didn’t the monsters in NeoTokio die from the Asmodeus?
  • Why didn’t LEIM die from the Asmodeus?
  • Why didn’t Dark Gaia save Beruga?
  • Did Royd and Fyda survive the airship crash?
  • Why does Ark say, in the ending sequence, that Yomi came with him on his entire journey if he only had that Yomi (Light Yomi) with him on the last chapter?
  • Why do they call it a “Time Bomb” if it’s switch-activated?

Here is a map of all the places in Terranigma and their real world counterparts. I made this with information from the game, Google Earth, Wikipedia and various forums and fansites.
