Description
What begins as a carefree day at the Millennial Fair for a young man named Chrono turns into his ultimate adventure. When Chrono meets a young girl named Marle, little does he realize that this young girl, his best friend Lucca's invention, and a mysterious pendant will thrust him into the ultimate trip through time and space, encountering new friends, defeating the forces of evil, and encountering the one who would destroy the flow of time.
Chrono Trigger utilizes the ATB (active time battle) combat system from
Final Fantasy games, adding to it combo attacks, which you gradually learn by putting different characters in your party and letting them fight together for some time. There are no random battles in the game, as all the enemies are visible on screen. The game allows you to face your ultimate adversary at different points of time, which leads to several different endings. There is also a New Game+ option, which allows you to carry over your powerful characters to a new game, and adds even more endings to the already existing ones.
