Добро пожаловать в мир с совершенно иными законами природы. Континенты здесь вращаются вокруг планеты на разных уровнях. Над головой проплывают настоящие линкоры, а во тьме рыскают пираты-мусорщики. Ядро этой планеты – биокомпьютер, управляющий созданиями своего повелителя.
На верхнем уровне, именуемом внешней оболочкой, ведут роскошную жизнь древнейшие избранные. Они потребляют много энергии и сбрасывают отходы на нижние уровни. Избранным стало известно нечто важное о своем мире, и они начали спускаться к ядру, устраняя тех, кто встанет у них на пути.

I just discovered there is a fan made sequel now in English- Septerra Core: Dream About The Past.

I adore the original game. It's the only western style JRPG I've ever discovered. It's such a unique game full of character. I highly recommend the game to anyone who enjoys Final Fantasy. It's both nothing and everything like that series.
I played this game to completion a long time ago when it first came out. It is fully voiced, which at the time was amazing instead of the norm. It is a very lengthy game; think Final Fantasy. There is an in depth and complex battle system. Everything about this game is fantastic, except for one thing.
The pacing is very bad. Everything takes just a bit longer than it should. Animations are lengthy and can not be skipped. What is worse is there isn't really anything you can do, it's a couple seconds, but it is a couple seconds all the time.
If you enjoy SRPG games you will probably be fine with the animations. I just can't shake the feeling that the game is wasting my time for no beneficial reason.
Even with that glaring problem at the price gog wants for it I think it is worth a try.
This is sure one of the best games of the last 20 years and I was really happy to find it here again, but it is unplayable. I've allready tryed the fix with the old quicktimeplayer, but still the game is to slow. My mouse dissapearse and I have to move it veeeerry slowly. When I start the game I see the Intro and then it is impossible to speak to uncle, so I really can not play the game. Please help me to solve this Problem.

Yeah, a bit of a negative review coming, but you may want to read all of it, as it's not all doom and gloom.
So, Septerra Core: A new take on CRPG, moving away from D&D and typical console JRPGs, while still playing remarkably similar to Chrono Trigger. Combos are performed with cards here, and they can be powerful indeed - don't skip out on the cards if you play this game! Buffs are IMMENSELY helpful. While playing, it was apparent to me the developers went several extra miles to create a credible game world.
But where to properly begin?
Gameplay
The characters are sprites, moving around on an isometric prerendered backdrop. Contrasting with... just about every game out there, the sprites have been granted a rudimentary physics emulation - if you run in one direction, you are NOT going to turn on a dime! This can be annoying, but there's no real penalty besides disrupting your pace - it's simply literally impossible to rush through this game. There doesn't seem to be a purpose for it, either, though, except as a means of making you think of the characters as... well, more substantial than sprites. In combination with the sprites stopping when they touch a boundary in the walkmesh instead of sliding along the edge...
I mentioned the combat system in the preamble, and I don't really have anything more to say about it that you can't read in a manual or a guide on GameFAQs. It's pretty smooth, though, and rewards experimentation and cunning - beam attacks tended to put a wiiiiide grin on my face sometimes. This also holds true for the Fate Cards.
It should also be noted that you absolutely have to use every party member at one point or another to progress in the story - you're not going to have just one set trio from start to finish. Level progression isn't an issue, though - everyone gets the experience reward, active party AND reserves.
Another thing to note is that some of the items you need to carry on are sometimes VERY well hidden, often out of the way, and it's rarely clear where you're supposed to use them, or how. Fortunately (?), the items' icons get an outline when you hold them over the spot where you're meant to use them. There's no way to get stuck by missing a key item, or using it at the wrong place, as far as I could tell.
Conversations are carried out by clicking icons in the bottom bar. Using key items with characters will sometimes lead to conversations as well.
Equipment follows two paradigms: There are characters that you equip in typical RPG fashion - new weapon, armour, whatever - and then there are those who get to keep their weapons (assault rifles, sticks) from start to finish. They purchase upgrades and extensions to their gear - similar to the Gears in Xenogears (yet oh so different, of course).
Graphics
Well, obviously 'dated' is going to be an apt description, so I'll just skip all that (although the sprites are impressive, considering the technology). Cast Cards and summons might be a bit on the lengthy side (yet nowhere near Knights of the Round or Eden!), but the animations are fine in my book.
The movies (Bink video) suffer quite a bit from compression, but that shouldn't come as a surprise.
One thing that came as a surprise to me, though, was the UI design, and visual design (art direction?) in general. The GUI design is - in my eyes, at least - simply bad! Questionable choice of fonts, particularly unpleasant borders around the buttons on the main menu (New Game, Continue, Quit), cluttered background in the element where we're supposed to read... This is easily the game's weakest point. Which, I suppose, is a good thing.
The credible gameworld comes back as a double-edged sword even here. You remember what I said about items being placed a bit out of the way? Well, what if several key items are NOT in chests, and lying out in the open on the field maps, amid the richly decorated (if not always decoratIVE) backdrops?
As for the backdrops, they aren't all that, either. It's not always apparent where there's a doorway (a further incentive not to rush, I guess), and the only cues you get about area transitions are a cursor change (hover on exit gives you a really groovy one) and a yellow zone on what passes for an in-game map screen (hit Tab). The level design seems to be based on tiles - the related criticism people might have for Neverwinter Nights (1) applies here.
The biggest negative point about the backdrops as experienced by me: The viewpoint is too close to the sprites - it's difficult to navigate efficiently. The combination of inertia, the occasional long corridor with lots of visual goings-on (pipes, hoses, debris, corpses, busted droids, lockers...) you might actually WANT to run through, having to watch the walls intently in case you miss your exit, and the physics quirk I mentioned earlier... This could have been done better. And was, as I recall, in Crusader. But I digress.
Sound
Pretty good, I'm tempted to say. (Though dated, again!) I don't remember how games sounded back then, but the sound effects pass muster. I had an issue with poor synchronisation, but considering I'm using an onboard soundchip, you might not have the same problem.
The music is surprisingly appealing, despite its glaring MIDI-parentage - yet there is so little of it! Maybe some of you remember the criticism Xenosaga I took for not having 'ambient' music, only bringing out the Mitsuda for cutscenes and dungeons? This game beat them to it. There is music on the seven world maps, in combat, in some cutscenes and FMVs, and in the main menu, but most of the rest of the game is only populated by ambient sounds. Drip-dropping water, roaring flames, sounds of war, beeping computers... I actually kind of like it, but this is as far as that concept should be taken. Really.
The voicework? It has nothing on Mass Effect (then again, what does?), but it's not bad, as such. Mediocre, I'd say, with some bright moments.
Story
This is actually pretty good. The finest point of the game, unless you're really into combat engines. The efforts in crafting a credible world really shows here. Uh... Well, as credible a world as you can get with seven shells in orbit over a gigantic computer, connected by a mostly organic spine, but you get my drift. No references to inventions in the real world (shame on Shining Tears for the reference to battery-powered toys in a fantasy setting!), all the lore you can shake a stick at... AND: Your party members tend to have different things to say about things, often fleshing out their backstories. I'll leave you to discover this for yourself - I highly recommend going back and speaking to residents with different characters in your party.
I won't spoil the story for you, but I'll swear to the absence of anime tropes. Ok, true, religious crazies, swordsmen seeking revenge, nutty pirates, a sacrifice or two, but the efforts towards that credible world balances this out. A relatively solid construction - though it does have some... chinks in the chain. The end, however, was over much too soon - which is also the case for many FMVs. For better or worse, Square-Enix never touched this game. I think I actually fought the last boss, saw the ending, AND watched the end credits in less than 15 minutes. I just sat there thinking '... That's it?' Somewhat beautiful though it is, it really needed to be longer.
Conclusion
In all: This is actually a bit of a work of art. Sure, I've had plenty of bad things to say about it, but I can attribute most of it to poor art direction and testing. An innovative title, to be sure, with a ton of lore built around it, though the art style is really not for everyone. That said, it is difficult to be enthusiastic about playing this game. Sure, the game in its entirety takes some smarts to finish (or a good guide, which I was unable to find; GOG's maps are almost crucial, though the pictures need to be renamed before you can use them with confidence - I spent a lot of time browsing through them to find what specific map I was actually at), which is a welcome sign of respect, but you can't get away from the fact that, outside of the combat, it's simply a bother to play.
Chrono Trigger + Riven + Fallout with iffy art direction.
Septerra Core was the first PC RPG I played as a teenager. I remember buying the boxed version and getting lost into the deep world of the shells, Maya and her friends, and the deep mythology. There' s a lot to unpack here and it's a great storyline. As for the port, this game runs perfectly and I haven't personally had any problems with it. It's well worth the price to play through the storyline alone. The gameplay may not be anything innovative or fast-paced, but you'll stay for the character interactions and as the narrative unfolds. This game has stayed with me since it's original release and I love that it's formatted and available on this site!
