Chrono Trigger

The story is a work of art, and obviously a lot of thought went into the various subplots and determining how events affect each outcome. Throw in some fun mini-games, a bunch of enjoyable side quests, and some pop culture references, and you have one of the most enjoyable RPGs ever made.

Needless to say, this a must-have game for any RPG fan, or any adventure fan. It is a tragedy that it never saw a European release, however it should be sought out in any way possible. This one is timeless.

Chrono Trigger is another satisfying and superlative game from Square. If you've finished FF III and are itching for some fantasy field work, pick this one up. Thankfully, the fantasy isn't final yet.

Czego zatem Państwo oczekują od gry? By trzymała w napięciu do samego końca? By posiadała sympatycznych bohaterów, z którymi można się identyfikować? By grało się w nią lekko i przyjemnie, a jednocześnie by czas przy niej spędzony nie wydał się czasem zmarnowanym? By posiadała ładną grafikę (a ta jak na SNES jest wręcz piękna) i miłą dla ucha muzykę? By była maksymalnie grywalna i wygodna w obsłudze? By postacie zaprojektował Akira Toriyama? Byście Państwo zwyczajnie chcieli w nią z ochotą grać? Oto więc jeszcze raz przedstawiam Państwu Chrono Triggera, grę, która spełni wszystkie te warunki.

Chrono Trigger proves to be a wonderful game on many levels. The quests and dialogue keep the story moving along at a good pace and the battle sequences prove to be challenging as well as a visual delight. For one RPG standing among titles such as Final Fantasy and Legend of Zelda, Chrono Trigger proves its mettle.

The team made a game that was revolutionary in so many ways, it's hard to count. With a grand storyline, one of the best casts of characters I had ever seen, exquisite character design, a very fun and customizable battle system, an engorgement of unique monsters, awesome bosses, great graphics, a superb soundtrack, and a great replay value makes Chrono Trigger a great example of what a real classic, and game, for that matter, is and should be.

Chrono Trigger is a true classic that is regarded by many as one of the best RPGs of all time. It is my personal favorite, and I still consider it to be the greatest RPG ever made. It is the RPG by which all others should be judged by, in terms of gameplay, story, sound, and overall quality. I’ve wanted to write a review of Chrono Trigger for a long time, but I was afraid I wouldn’t do the game justice. Well, I’ve finally decided to try my best to write a review that captures the essence of this amazing game. Believe me; it's better than I make it sound.

Nearly a decade ago, Squaresoft released Chrono Trigger, to unsuspecting gamers and subsequently set up a series fan base exceeded only by Square’s other big-name franchise, Final Fantasy. From the moment Chrono Trigger was released, it was lauded by many as one of the best RPGs to date, and it still to this day occupies prime real estate atop many a RPG gamer’s favorites list. Chrono Trigger even transcended the genre, inspiring those evasive to RPGs to give this title a try, much like Final Fantasy VII would do a few years later. For many, Chrono Trigger was the first RPG they played, and because of that, Chrono Trigger remains a classic of the genre, and for many, an exemplar of the genre itself.

Chrono Trigger itself is the direct result of what happens when the insanely brilliant creators of both Dragon Warrior AND Final Fantasy team up to create a world-conquering super weapon. Chrono Trigger enslaves you, isolates you, and deprives you of sleep, food, and drink. It is the best RPG this reviewer has ever had the pleasure of playing - yes, it even beats out titles like Final Fantasy IV, Lunar: Silver Star Story, and Skies of Arcadia.

Square seemed to consistently produce quality on the Super Nintendo, and Chrono Trigger is no exception. Regarded by many as one of the best experiences the role-playing genre has to offer, Chrono Trigger can still compete with the games of today in spite of being released in 1995. It is a wondrous journey through space and time to a land only the human imagination can reach.

The bottom line is that this is a must for RPG fanatics and dabblers alike. Stop reading, go out and buy it.

Chrono Trigger is a must buy for every serious RPF fan especially for those who like me just can't stand the boring and repetitive fights of the Final Fantasy games! The only bad thing I can come up with is that I may be a little bit to short. It's not very short and will take many days of intense playing to complete and with over 10 different endings it will keep you occupied for some time but if you compare it to Final Fantasy 6 (which is HUGE) it's rather short.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! Chrono Trigger is an RPG that combines the best features of the FF series and Mana and puts them all in a game that easily gets my vote for RPG of the year! As with all Squaresoft games, the visuals are drawn with stunning detail and the music immerses players even further into the quest. Of course, the game's best feature is it's endearing story line. Add multiple endings to that you you've got a must-have for your RPG collection.

All in all, Chrono Trigger is a delightful game. While there may be less to it than other RPGs, and it isn't particularly difficult, it has the polish, innovation, and replay value to keep players coming back time and again.

The majority of games simply aren't this good. It stands aside from the crowd and you'd be crazy to miss it.

In my conversations with my friends who play RPGs, I was surprised to learn that few of them had heard of Chrono Trigger. Fortunately, the gaming world at large has come to appreciate just how special this game really is. The original SNES cartridge is a collector?s item and I?ve seen mint-condition versions sell for hundreds of dollars. It can also be found for the PlayStation at various outlets (see sidebar). Either way, Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest RPG?s of all time, albeit one that is not without some appropriateness concerns.

Chrono Trigger really has everything a gamer could want from a game. Superb graphics, great soundtrack, unique characters, and an unforgettable story. Once you start playing this time-traveling epic, it just might bring you to thievery amongst your friends. If you haven't played Chrono Trigger, go check it out. It truly is a timeless classic.

Chrono Trigger is the newest in an increasing number of quality RPGs to come out in the past year. Coming on the heels of games like Ogre Battle and Might & Magic III, Chrono Trigger could easily have paled in comparison. Instead, Squaresoft has brought us another reason to hold onto our SNES.

One of the best SNES RPGs released, and maybe even one of the finest RPG creations of all-time. It’s just a crying shame that us Europeans missed out on not only the SNES version, but the PSX port as well!
