Rating: - THE BEST GAME I EVER PLAYED
Just because you've played Final Fantasy VII(Playstation) or The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion(Xbox 360,Playstation 3, PC), that doesn't make you a true RPG gamer until you play Chrono Trigger. I like this game better than Final Fantasy II, III, and Mystic Quest on my SNES simply because it plays better, it's more accessible to the RPG-impared, and there aren't very many random encounters. I never figured this game would end up being #1 on my top ten favorite games list(especially since it's surrounded by shooters, and loads of other genres that don't include the RPG genre), but somehow won over me and I grew to love this game with a passion because it's so f***ing amazing. I have never experienced a game this epic before in my life, which is another reason why you must buy this game(Either for SNES or PS1). And like the fans of Final Fantasy VII demanding a remake of the game for PS3 and 360, Chrono fans demand a remake of the series for the same platforms(With maybe the possibility of releasing Chrono Break). Come on Square Enix, what the hell are you waiting for ?!
Rating: - Best Game ever
I remember gettin this game when i was like 8.. Been playing it ever since.. All the rpg games now-a-days started from this.. great fightingstyle.. great story that starts out wit chrono and marle as she dissappears back in time to 600 ad.. as you try to save the world from the almighty lavos, you are joined by other characters.. first game that uses combos specials wit fluency.. i definitely recommend this game.. this game is very rare..
Rating: - Best RPG I have ever played!!
Since I was very young, I played the first Final Fantasy for Nintendo. It was a bit corny at the time (since Super Nintendo was already released) but I enjoyed it a lot. I have played almost every Square RPG released. Even after all of them, including Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger is still the greatest game I have ever played.
The main character in the game is YOU. YOU are Crono, many people thought he was mute, but in the game you talk for him. The depth of the ALL characters are amazing. The dialogue was superb.
I personally don't think any other game has a plot better than this one. Crono's death was far more moving that the death of Aeris in Final Fantasy 7 (although that part was pretty sad!). Bottom line, even by today's standards, the story is incredible.
Unlike many other RPG's, even the smallest action could lead to a different ending. Depending on what you choose to say or do, the outcome can be different. The ending for Chrono Trigger is the best game ending I have ever seen!! Not to mention there's over a dozen endings.
Another great feature, the fighting engine. It's not like the "random battle" fighting engine that always aggravated me Final Fantasy. You can actually see the enemy before the attack you. In some parts of the game, you can even do stealth kills (when Crono is put in jail, when the team is captured in the Airship in 12000 B.C.). Also, each character had their own specific abilities. It made them all unique, which was great. I much prefer this idea over the whole "materia" concept. And the team actually works as a TEAM!! There are magical AND physical skills than uses two or even three members of the team working together. If you have a game with a lot of characters fighting together, doesn't it make sense for them to work together?
This is the most under rated game ever made. It was quite popular in Japan, mainly because the creator of Dragon Ball Z (which was still hot at the time and not in North America yet) had a big part in the game. If you decide to play it now, the Playstation version is ok, since it has cool video made by the great Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball Z). The graphics are lousy, but way ahead of it's time considering the age of this game.
Too bad Square Enix, or whatever the hell they're called now, has no plans to do anything with this franchise. Seems all they can do is ruin them. This game was royally screwed over with its less than worthy sequel Chrono Cross, which I never intend to play. I tried once, once is enough.
I know most people first RPG experience from Squaresoft was probably Final Fantasy 7. Compared to Chrono Trigger, FF7 is weak, VERY weak. Final Fantasy 6 was the greatest of the series, period. And Chrono Trigger was the greatest game ever made!
Rating: - A Pinnacle
What more could one possibly add? Chrono Trigger rocks in any epoch.
First, you've got a somewhat easy plot--time travelers attempting to avert apocalypse--but then thrown in is the fresh and startling idea of an omnipotent stellar parasite. It's amazing what imagination gets packed into these 16 bits. The end of time. Zeal. Mystics and Magus. Twists and turns shake out as personalities start reappearing in different guises, chunks of backstory from each character. The battle system is heavenly, typical RPG ATB plus a new added geometric strategy. Everything's streamlined, from the tecs to armor shopping. Graphics are beautiful and somehow simultaneously fun, sound effects spice it up just right.
The soundtrack is a model of the video game score, and Mitsuda's tunes are rightly among the mainstays of the genre. The quartal fanfare of the main theme, the gentle town melodies, the truly haunting overworld tune, the ghastly Magus dirge, the trial background, Robo's electropop track, and Frog's tripletty song, all simply marvelous.
The game remains as fun as it was when debuting.
Rating: - Great Game, but can get it cheaper.
I must say Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest RPGs ever. I didnt even get into RPGs until Chrono Trigger came out. One thing that baffles me though is why people consider this game a rare find and sell it for way too much for a SNES game for these days. Under Game Review Mag and Nintedo Magazine, its considered a "common" game to find. I found the game at a local nostalgia game store for $8. But with that, if for some reason you cant find it outside of online for a cheap buy, you might as well on here because it is recommended as a great game for any price/
