EPTDefinitely don't want to ruin it for those of you who haven't played the game. The talk about emulation in this thread makes my skin crawl. Buy it, you cheap mofos. Someone up there mentioned the PS1 version... which sucks. Loading times in my Chrono Trigger? BAH! The DS version is the definitive version, because it has all the cutscenes and everything. It's worth buying a DSi just to play this game. Seriously.

I certainly agree with the people who requested an FFVI write-up, that is if your passion for that matches your love for Chrono Trigger :-). | ||

sitenote : the fighting/exp system rules, the character design rules (Toriyama), the music rules and you can go on and on like that. It had a sequel named Chrono Cross on PSX which was a pretty damn good RPG but nowhere near as good as CT. | ||

lol j/k, I absolutely loved this game, and I only played through it a year or two ago. There aren't many games I enjoy nearly as much. | ||

Same here. The soundtrack is just that phenomenal! If you think that, then I failed in my writing and I should work on that. My point was that the game is really good despite incidentally having elements that are typically a solid indication of it being crap. Moreover, logic failure is always a good way to take me out of the game, read: "Without the nostalgia goggles, Chrono Trigger is a Japanese RPG about teenagers saving the world. They pose their way through danger, acquire magic powers from a Furby, bring hope to the people of a dying future through sheer unbridled optimism, and battle an eldritch abomination. Oh, and the main character is a mute." and "Still, in the case of Chrono Trigger, it's not about horrible characterization, never-ending ineptitude, or characters being obviously superfluous to the story. It's just that at no point in the game does the Old Man at the End of Time go, "You know what? This is getting a little too rough for you kids. Maybe we should find some ancient cyborg ninjas to battle the endless minions of evil. I mean, this is the fate of the entire world we're talking about, right? Hell, the mental stress alone must be overwhelming!"" That was the point. And then I made the point that, while I logically have a problem with this, it didn't detract from the experience for me, be it because of nostalgia or because the characters are simply entertaining (which I claimed, going against your argument that I think these elements are always horrible). The tirade against Final Fantasy was because of the horrible characterization, endless logic failures, and all the other stuff I complained about in my retrospective. If you took something else from it, sufficient to attack me out of an erroneous belief that I think these elements are always terrible (they aren't, but it heavily depends on the genre), then you either misread or I was unclear. Only reason I can think of for you to take this so personally is that you misunderstood me... which the rest of your post backs up. So there we go. My point was that the game is really good despite incidentally having elements that are typically a solid indication of it being crap. It's like, this is repeating exactly what I said. | ||

I was late to the party in my little group of friends regarding CT. They had all played it way before I even found out about it. Needless to say, it was an incredible RPG despite how simplistic it was. | ||
