An actual site update is in the works, with the largest part being alternate endings and other additions to the Chrono Trigger page, but in the meantime, have a blog entry.
I've seen やっぱり all too often blindly translated to "as expected".
While that isn't a bad approximation of the meaning, it's frequently
unnatural in a sentence. So, that brings up the question of what exactly
やっぱり is used for. Basically, it appears when a situation is confirmed to be in agreement with previous expectations or assumptions.
