I haven't played many other JRPGs quite like this - in that there's always a reason to look out for more to do with knowing how the chronology of this game's story flows but also in how it makes you want to change up the course of history as quickly as possible. Not like there's much else to say about the game's story as we'd expect from Square Enix during the 1990's, but the entire experience is one that mirrors just about what anyone could want from even the best Final Fantasy games.

And that'd only be scratching the surface, especially when you're looking back at how much it lifts from the Final Fantasy series in order to become its own thing. From the battle system, the way it utilizes the New Game Plus mechanic to allow its players to witness multiple endings wherever they please, and also its expansive lore, Chrono Trigger is far more than just one of the best video games ever made - it's just a beautiful work of art all around.
