I took a long time to play this classic and I regret it.
This is one of the most solid and well made JRPGs of all time. The story is engaging and very well paced. The characters are full of charm and personality. The gameplay is fun with dynamic and fast paced battles and the presentation is top notch.
While this is not my favorite game ever. I can see why so many people have a high regard to it and consider it Square's Magnum Opus.

I love the fact that Chrono can be a well mannered boy that can introduce his friends and the antisocial edgelord in his group to his mother.
