Actually Golden Sun (at least the first one) spends about 80% of the game without progressing any kind of story, not exactly interesting. Combat also gets boring after a while, but still requires you to press a buttload of buttons just to skip through all the messages. It really felt like an annoying chore. Plus Sakuraba made better music for other titles. | ||

Good gameplay doesn't get outdated, and while CT might be "simple" by todays standards, it's still a great game. The combo system is still fun and oddly enough still lacking in modern jRPGs. The bossfights are good and kept interesting throughout the game. The system with ultimate weapons/gear which is found during sidestories which flesh out the character in question is great and while similar ideas have shown up in much later jRPGs (FFX for example), I still feel it was made the best in CT. The majority of jRPGs STILL haven't understood that non-random battles are far superior. So yeah, it's not innovative anymore since it was innovative in 1995.. but the innovations it did generally aren't matched even today. | ||

I still love Chrono Trigger, it's a pretty good jRPG of the golden age. The story isn't that great, but the multiple endings and a quite dynamic combat system still do it for me. And some songs are damn good - even if Chrono Cross is on another level in term of music. If not for that New Game+, it would have been a good game, no more. On Snes, I still prefer FF6 (for the story, or 5 for the gameplay), and Terranigma, played like 5 years ago and i was amazed by it. I don't think nostalgia is really the point here. I still find the game more creative than a lot of the jRPG since 10 years. Edit : can't agree more with Tobberoth. :p | ||
