The real SNES-era debate

[metagloria]

I'll be very curious to see how this shakes out. While I'm a massive FF fan, I actually prefer CT to any of the games from that era...or most other eras to be honest. It's so good!

[Galuf]

i still stick with my oppinion of FFV. however i admit CT is a great game. i liked the music and the robot. but i never finished it sadly stuff happened before i could and my save was deleted. :(

Super Mario RPG.

[Ayen]

I haven't played CT, so I honestly can't say which one is better than the other.

Smurf it, I'm still voting for FFIV.

Chrono Trigger is beautiful and superbly crafted in every way, but it's a little thin for a 90's Square. I wish the game lasted a little longer.

[Motdrafin]

Definitely Final Fantasy IV!! Best FF ever!

[Vermachtnis]

Chrono Trigger is the best game ever.

[Mirage]

i uh... why are you doing this to me metagloria

[chionos]

I had to make a decision without thinking about it, because otherwise I could sit on the fence the rest of my life. CT is genius, but FFVI is something special. One of a kind.

[Mirage]

We have been unable to reach a consensus.

For me it is FFIV followed by Chrono Trigger, but I totally admit that my reasoning is purely emotional based. So while I personally think FFIV is better, I would also totally support one who feels CT is better than the three SNES RPGs.

Combined.

It's the greatest game of all time for a reason, people.

[Pumpkin]

CT, but its a close one

[Spuuky]

It's the greatest game of all time for a reason, people.Ah, yes, the classic "it's better because it's better" argument.

CT is really, really great. A truly amazing RPG. And slightly worse than FFVI.

[Pike]

I'm still waiting for my Super Mario RPG option on the poll.

[Loony BoB]

FFV takes the cake for me.

Paper Mario wasn't on the SNES. Silly Pikebot.

[Pike]

You seem to be implying that I played Paper Mario.

[Ayen]

I assumed you had good taste :doublecolbert:

[Egami]

I'd say Chrono Trigger takes it as it is a better rounded package than VI overall.

[Bolivar]

I forget which one I voted for, it's unfair putting a trilogy against one game because the three FFs had something different for everybody. I wouldn't be surprised if there was more or less an even split between the three of them on this forum. For me, it's rough to say whether I personally enjoyed FFV or CT more but I would definitely say that from an objective standpoint, CT is the better game.

I mentioned this when Forsaken Lover made this thread but I would personally put Dragon Quest V and Tactics Ogre at the top of the best SNES RPGs, ahead of CT and FF - by a quite a lot.

I'd say it goes FF6>CT>FF4>FF5

I never really saw what was so remarkable about Chrono Trigger. Maybe it was because I didn't play until the DS version.
While I admired how well it'd been put together as a multi-branched story, I never really identified with any of the characters and the story was fairly traditional.
FF6 on the other hand had a lot of great characters and also a much more gripping story. The whole end-of-the-world thing was done brilliantly and I loved how the pacing and structure of the game adapted to the plot (very linear and structured until the midpoint but then open and messy afterwards)

[Rez09]

I enjoy CT a significant bit less than FF IV, V, and VI.

[theundeadhero]

CT, of course.

[Sephiroth]

Final Fantasy VI
Chrono Trigger
