ah sim... o clássico dos clássicos dos clássicos. um dos primeiros RPG's que joguei na vida. cá estou jogando pela quinta (?) vez. um exemplo ótimo pra mostrar pras pessoas a importância da memória e como isso deve, e é, repassado. gosto muito de como passe o tempo que passar, esse jogo continua sendo lembrado e nunca deixa de aparecer nas listas dos melhores. espero que a minha geração (Z) e as futuras continuem essa tradição. existem muitos jogos que estão começando a ser esquecidos, muitas franquias que não são citadas e se ofuscam pela histeria coletiva gerada com o "novo". o capitalismo não apenas é rejeitado por mim pela imbecilidade do que se propõe, mas também por todas as tragédias que desenrolam para que ele possa "funcionar". Chrono Trigger, pelo menos, parece ter encontrado seu lugar. pra mim, é um exemplo de resistência da nossa comunidade que ainda não percebeu o quanto é bem politizada.
gostaria, inclusive, de aproveitar para deixar aqui algumas tímidas palavras de homenagem à um dos trabalhadores desse projeto que, não só transformou o mundo, mas também deu vida à esse que é um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos:
em um mundo onde somos vistos apenas como trabalhadores, meros consumidores, reduzidos à servos dos interesses da classe dominante, não posso deixar de, mesmo em morte, agradecer ao mestre Toriyama. as lágrimas e a melancolia que escorreram de mim quando vi a notícia foram, até então, a última vez que me senti um ser humano. muito obrigado.

I know they tried to fix and make the visual look decent with this port attempt. In some sort of ways it works, on the other...stick with the console versions. The filter they propose here sucks.

Wow, what an incredible game this is. I honestly can't believe I hadn't played it sooner, but damn am I glad I got around to it— in many ways it really does feel like a time machine, truly transcendent beyond its era, yet also a nostalgia capsule in equal measure. As it's practically a sibling to one of my all time favorite JRPGs, developed at roughly the same time as and sharing a lot of assets with Final Fantasy VI, I always knew I was gonna like this one, but not until playing it did I internalize just how deeply it would resonate with me. Chrono Trigger is a deeply sweet and sincere game, home to some of the most gorgeous art, music, and storytelling of not just its era (for which it was totally revolutionary of course), but the gaming medium as a whole.
For one, the time traveling narrative is brilliant not just for its uniqueness, but also for its simple execution. Instead of bogging you down with the boring intricacies of fictional physics and technology, it is no more than a fun gateway into all manner of wacky, aesthetically distinctive time periods. Going in, I thought these were just going to be the middle ages and the present day (which would have been more than cool enough might I add), but you can also visit an ancient magic civilization, a technologically advanced but desolate future, and even dinosaur times, 65,000,000 BC (though I don't think Jesus is canon in the game's universe lmao). All of this is of course accompanied by one of the greatest scores in gaming, as well as some fantastically fun art direction by the great Akira Toriyama (may he rest in peace). It all adds up to be such a cozy, endearing little adventure, and thankfully, certainly not one devoid of darker themes or stakes.
The only nitpick I have is with the game's combat: While the battle system is admittedly really fucking cool (and I GREATLY appreciate the lack of random encounters and grinding), I don't think it's quite deep enough or its animations concise enough not to wear out its welcome like halfway through the game. Even though there are only so many of them, the battles still do get monotonous after a certain point. With that being said, they FAR from ruin the game, and the fact I can still confidently give it a perfect score in spite of them should really speak to just how strong its strengths are. While personally, I think I still marginally prefer Final Fantasy VI over Chrono Trigger, I'm so happy to be able to place it directly behind it on my list of favorite games. To pass up such a masterpiece would be a colossal mistake.

I've been delaying finishing this game for more than 20 years. Started it a couple times, never got past the middle. Toriyama's death, however, kickstarted a new playthrough, and I meant for it to finally be the one where I actually finished the game.
I'm very happy that I did.

je viens de commencer le jeu et je peux déjà venir lui mettre 5 étoiles c'est dire à quel point le jeu est excellent.. (je reviendrai pour éditer la review une fois le jeu terminé)
edit : ce jeu est impensable... COMMENT ILS ONT FAIT COMMENT ILS ONT FAIT
Que Dieu le bénisse
edit 2 : bon... je reviens 2 semaines après, la tête reposée pour faire une critique un tout petit peu plus constructive.
Ce jeu est divin, il a absolument tout ce qu'on pourrait lui demander : des personnages incroyables, une OST à en tomber dans les pommes, le jeu est fluide (l'histoire avance bien et vite, tout est toujours très intéressant et t'as aucun moment où tu te dis "ouais, j'aime moins cette partie du jeu"), le fait que le jeu dispose de plusieurs fins est limite overkill, les cinématiques sur la version steam... l'impression de regarder un petit épisode de dragon ball, le gameplay est super fun, le voyage dans le temps sans déconner quel plaisir, les quêtes secondaires EXTRAORDINAIRES. J'ai du mal à me dire que ce jeu a presque 30 ans..
J'ai omis de mentionner encore plein de points positifs que je préfère vous laisser découvrir
Et je dis ça sans aucune nostalgie, j'ai découvert le jeu en 2024 et je vous conseille à tous de foncer pour profiter d'un des plus grands JRPG de l'histoire, bien meilleur que la fraude FF6 auquel il est souvent comparé

This timeless classic of an RPG was made a reality by the absolute biggest "dream team" of Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, RIP to the GOAT), Yuji Horii (Dragon Quest), and Hironobu Sakaguchi (Final Fantasy). The plot and characters of this game hold up fantastically several years later, both having a lot of depth to them. For an old SNES game, it has a lot to throw at you. It's amongst Square's best yet for a damn good reason!
