Chrono Trigger

This game deserves the name CLASSIC. Made by "the dream team" of Yuji Hori("Dragon Quest"), Hironobu Sakaguchi("Final Fantasy"), and Akira Toriyama(TV's "Dragonball Z"), this game immediately climbed the top and was loved by millions. Even if the graphics were outdated, the game took 3 years to make and a lot of effort was put into it.

Chrono Trigger... The best RPG (second to Final Fantasy III) for

the Super Nintendo. Nothing is as challenging, thought-provoking... and fun than this little devil from the gods of RPG, Squaresoft. The storyline is impressive and heart-gripping, the masterful art design of Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame astounding and the uniqueness of battle that seems to be in place.

My favorite attacks, Dual Tech. This attack is very powerful and eye-catching and adds a hint of greatness in battle. Example: Falcon Toss. Ayla tosses Crono (The hero) up and Crono slashes his sword (kamehameha style) to his enemies. Then there's Tech attacks, like Robo's Robo Tackle or Frog's Leap Slash. That's pretty darn good in attacks and stuff.

The music is heartwrenching and superb too.

Chrono Trigger will live in the minds of players and DB watchers alike. I can't wait until Chrono Trigger is re released on Playstation, Reason: NEW FMV CUT SCENES, made by Akira Toriyama and his creative crew at Bird Studios. Until then... Play some more Final Fantasy VIII.

This game is truly a classic in every respect, with the most memorable characters ever featured in an RPG and a storyline that surpasses that of any other game in its genre. Since the release of Chrono Trigger many other interesting and unique games have emerged with graphics so advanced that in comparison Chrono Trigger is almost laughable. Therefore if you're only interested in appearance then this is the wrong game for you, however if you are interested in original RPG's with a compelling storyline then I assure you that Chrono Trigger remains unrivalled.

{Warning: plot summary} The underlining plot is simplistic in that a group of teenagers stumble upon a time gate where they learn of an oncoming threat that will destroy the world in 1999, and subsequently decide to join forces to prevent the demise of there beloved planet {end of plot summary}. However the game features so many twists that the storyline is never predictable and the multiple endings available, enable the game to alter according to the players own personality. Side quests and a special New Game+ option (accessible once completing the game) also enhance its replay value.

Furthermore the characters integrate into the storyline magnificently, with each having there own side quests that allow for immense character development. The game illustrates the emotions and ambitions of each character which gives the player a true understanding of each playable character and there relationship with the others in the group.

It should also be noted that although the graphics in Chrono Trigger are now dated, at the time they were impressive in comparison to other RPG games released for the SNES. The character designs also blend in well with the personality of the characters. Therefore it's no surprise Chrono Trigger has such an enormous fan base and I can certainly say that it has established itself as one of my favourite games of all time.

This game is beyond any other role playing game that has ever existed. Even its sequels don't live up to the purest thrill of adventure and discovery that you find in this game. The story, unique and twisting, draws you in like an addiction. The characters are some of the coolest ever drawn, with personalities that will make you both smile and squeal. Magus will eternally be the coolest wizard ever. It has the potential to be very philosophical as well--the game has left me discussing time travel and physics, so that's a plus for any philosophers out there. Truly magnificent!

Chrono Trigger is one of the first real RPG's i ever played. when i beat the game, i knew that it was an amazing experience and that i would continue to explore the RPG world. after playing a countless number of RPG's since, i always return to Chrono Trigger and marvel at it's greatness. i've played tons of adventure, action and other games too, but no mix of story and gameplay etc. delivers like Chrono Trigger. this is a must play for all fans of RPG's. i also recommend it for beginner RPG players or people who want an amazing story and overall gaming experience. without a doubt, Chrono Trigger is my favorite game ever!
