philosoma's Chrono Trigger (PlayStation) review

Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger puts the gamer in the shoes of an ordinary country boy, with dreams of becoming an adventurous swordsman, who ends up at the fate of time itself! Early on in the game, characters and story unfolds as you go to the Millennium Fair; a kingdom-wide expo. During the fun of the fair, you bump into a mysterious young girl who demands your attention for the duration of the festivities. After a while, you visit Lucca, a childhood friend who dabbles in gadgets and such, and try out her latest invention. Your best friend Lucca's "transporter" machine goes awfully wrong and the mystery girl, Marle, gets sucked into a warp portal, leaving her glowing pendant behind. Brave Chrono (you) goes into the warp portal after her, and the time travelling adventure begins!

This game is awesome and everybody who is a fan of RPGs should try it out. The multiple side quests only add to the already lengthy (30+ hours) main story and the game is brimmed with secret armor, secret weapons, hidden dungeons, and a secret character!

The game has some of the best music ever graced on a console; composer Yasunori Mitsuya's music draws laughs and tears to rage all the same. The game's artwork is done by Akira Toriyama; a true graphical beauty.

Do yourself a favor and play this amazing game.

You hear the phrase "Best Game Ever!!" bandied around a lot these days.  However, I am not exaggerating when I say that Chrono Trigger justly deserves that title.  It is my favorite RPG of all time, and justly deserves to be on any greatest games of all time list.  The art, characters, and story all present a charm and wonder even in the midst of the swarms of RPGs out today.  The story is engaging, as you zip around time and try to save the world (of course).  It's pretty cool to see the effect...

Chrono and friends revisited 0

I remember playing many RPGs for the Super Nintendo in my youth. I would get together with a group of friends, and we would spend hours grinding our characters, advancing the storyline, and passing the controller off to each other while exchanging our ideas about how to make progress and discussing the storyline. Alas, as time went on, I moved to another state, and I haven't spoke to these friends since. That was over ten years ago. We played many Final Fantasy games, and some obscure RPGs...
