      No it doesn't, look at the position of the jets in the spritework. If it was a tower-like structure then the jets would be obfuscated from the perspective of the map screen

    I don't understand why it's supposed to look like a Star Destroyer. Why did it stay in the same place for 14,300 years instead of moving or flying off into space? Maybe it could follow the Lavos spawn to other planets?

    >because Lavos is still in the earth where it's power is being siphoned by the Mammon Machine

    Not in 2300 AD when his most likely lifeless shell became Death Peak. They put the Mammon Machine in the Ocean Palace in the first place to be closer to Lavos, it materializing into the sky would take it further away.

    This game deserves a remake.
    I think the game is just okay, but a remake by the Dragon Quest guys would win me over

    They remade SD2 and 3 but not this. That boggles the mind

      More hd-2d crap? Hell no
      Remakes are also a hit or miss. See that sd2 "remake" which didn't restore any cut content and looked even worser than the original
      Game needs a remaster, one done by the saga guys. Atleast with those guys it's guaranteed the game won't get fricked

    it doesn't help that the black omen is either rarely or never referred to as a ship in the script, and when you go through it, it feels like a tower at certain points. not only that, all the DQs and FFs of the time were fricking filled with towers, so it was only natural to think "well, here's a floating space tower now"

      Apparently it is in the original Japanese one once.

        It's sort of referred to a ship in English but most people have Ayla with them at the time and her "fish become bird" doesn't fully convey the info to the player. Mostly because in either case it's obvious the Black Omen is floating. It's just the orientation that's confusing.

    Chrono Trigger's artwork is sometimes confusing because of how detailed it is. You have to remember that most of us who played it originally were using shitty hand me down CRTs over RF. So you'd easily mistake what you were looking at.

    It should have been facing south so that there's no doubt that it's a ship.

    If it wasn't next to a lot of vertically displayed objects like the mountain, trees and the settlement you might have seen it as a flat ship.

      What does "laterally" mean to you? It looks like a shadow cast by a floating object but the object's orientation is not clear from it.

        fricking dumbass look at the screenshot

        It also doesn't help that the Black Omen is positioned right next to a mountain that uses a similar perspective to convey verticality.

          That screenshot makes it look obviously horizontal to you? It's at minimum an optical illusion if not a categorical perspective failure. Especially because of this:

          Reminder that this is how it explodes so someone from the devs probably had no clue, either.

          Maybe what would have helped is a little more clarity during the actual boss fight. When you reach the platform you don't actually see the front of the ship so even in the main game view you don't get a good sense of the thing's shape.

    The most damning thing is that despite actually being a ship, it never moves from its spot ever.

    It just hovers there... MENACINGLY.

    The Ocean Palace turning into the Black Omen compounds the problem. Other than them looking totally different, the Ocean Palace looks like a stationary building. I guess it could be a submarine but you only see it for a brief moment and it doesn't give any indication that it's not sitting on the ocean floor. Plus the word "palace" doesn't imply mobility. So when it suddenly raises into the sky you aren't thinking space ship.

      you pull that number out of your ass?

      https://www.snesmaps.com/maps/ChronoTrigger/ChronoTriggerBlackOmen.html

      The entire dungeon is one large, twisty passage w/ a couple of transporters and two large elevator shafts that first go down and later travels up the same distance. So you get the sense that you're travelling down a long, winding road rather than ascending vertically floor by floor.
