What an emotional ride!
Aside from Pokémon, I’ve never really been into turn based RPGs. Partly due to little exposure to them, partly due to preferring more hands-on games since I first started gaming. But Chrono Trigger has absolutely changed my outlook on the genre.
What a great game this is!
The story is absolutely fascinating! I was gripped from start to finish. I am a massive fan of time travel in movies, games and books and Chrono Trigger truly nails the concept. The way the eras all tie into each other is fantastic.
Every single one of the characters, be it the main ones or minor ones, are interesting and the game encourages you to find out more about everything and explore every corner. There are no full fetch quests here, only meaningful stuff.
Graphics, sprite-work, OST, all great!
And the final phase, wow! Has there ever been a boss that has taken more preparation than this? Has there ever been a longer, more engaging boss fight? The game does an incredible job of giving you the feeling that every decision you’ve made, every action you’ve taken, every quest you’ve completed, has all lead to this point and will decide how this fight will go. Just incredible.
For a game that is touching 30 yeas old to engage me this much is a monumental achievement.
