So after having some strange / irrational need to play Chrono Trigger on the DS I blindly put down the cash and hoped it hadn't aged too badly after all these years. I must say, it's probably one of the truest examples of a classic I've run across in some time. It's hard to play the game and not think about how long it's been since the games initial release, but again that's not a slight against the game whatsoever, infact quite the opposite. I haven't beaten the game of course, but even after putting 14 hours or so in the game it's really astounding how solid the game is. Theirs so much depth and detail for those who want it, but the game goes out of it's way to remove some of the tedium that plagues many RPGs (new and old). It's not perfect or course, the game relies a bit too much on backtracking, but thankfully it doesn't usually require it infact, the game has fariyl good pacing and so far no need for level grinding, etc. The game is a bit hard, sure, but theirs rarely a boss that you feel like you just can't beat, which is always good. So yeah! Chrono Trigger is pretty damn, cool. I'll probably talk about it a little more if I have the inspiration to do so. :P
