An amazing game that still holds up today.
Chrono Trigger was an amazing game back when it was released in 1995. Unfortunately not many people had played it. If you were one of the people who were fortunate enough to have played it you probably completely understand why this game gets 4 and a half stars. This is a game with a great cast and a great story and great gameplay. The graphics were also great for their time and still look very sharp today. The story consists of a young boy who goes to a fair and accidentally bumps into a girl. They talk to each other and decide to meet one of the young boy, Crono, 's friend Lucca. They meet her at these teleporters which sub sequentially transports Marle the young girl who met Crono to the year 600 A.D. From this time onwards you are traveling over many periods of time and meet outstanding characters from every time. Frog from 600 A.D who talks in old english, and for some reason is the only person from his time to still speak like this. Robo a robot from the future who is incredibly intelligent for something without a brain. Ayala who is from prehistoric times who is the strong girl who doesn't speak much but doesn't really need too. You will also meet plenty more characters within this amazing story. The game play is different from most rpgs of its time. There are no random battles, you can see enemies you are about to fight. When you do get into a battle the screen doesn't change just the battle menu pops up right onto your screen and you fight in that room or area. Once you get to the end of the game there are separate side quests for each member of your party. These delve way more into each specific story line of the characters than the normal story arc itself. Then you are at the end of the game. This is where the game makes its one and only mistake, it is to short. The story is fairly easy to plow through in a bout 20 hours without doing many side quests which is unfortunate because the game is an outstanding one with a story that will suck you in. All in all Chrono Trigger was an amazing game which still holds up today as an amazing game.
