Does anyone think that Chrono Trigger is really good?

honestly they shoud have made the cutscenes completely replace the scene they're inspired from rather than play the same scene twice, once animated, once in original sprites, but still keep the option to turn them on or off... as far as NewGame+ you will lose all your key and story items but everything else remains... there were 10 main endings on the SNES version with some varients on certain endings depending on things like fighting Magus at North Cape, and 12 on the PSone port with same variences, not sure bout the DS version since they never released a Strategy Guide for it that keeps stuff like that in tidy little tables, and i haven't beat it enough to know yet...

Well, the two new endings from the PS1 version were just extensions of the main ending. The DS version has one new ending as well as all the endings present in the PS1 version. The new ending is acquired by completing the Vortex of Time optional dungeons (available after you beat the game the first time). It apparently a new ending that once again ties the plot to Chrono Cross much like the extended animated ending in the PS1 version.

I got stuck on twin golems . I must say the only thing that annoyed me about the game was the silent protagonist and the general lack of character interaction. It just gave the game a very surreal feeling when nobody seems to care after going through a time machine and stepping into a pre-historic world.

It's an enjoyable, well-rounded game that's earned most of its acclaim, but it's still got its downsides (sound quality, fluctuating difficulty, shaky replay value, load times/slowdown on PSX version, etc). Personally, I like Chrono Cross a whole lot more but as far as Super Nintendo RPGs go, it's definitely top-shelf material and definitely one of those "play this before you die" games.

Chrono Trigger is definitely one of the best RPGs ever created and it's hard to understand why. The characters have no development and the story is rather lame. CT is all about the atmosphere. The way the music blends with the maps is beyond perfect. In terms of atmosphere Chrono Trigger is the best game ever created, imo.

i'm stuck on the last boss...i sold my copy as a kid and didn't realize how much it'd be worth..seriously, like last time i checked on ebay it was 1000 sealed. although i have it for the ds now and....as previously stated, i-am-stuck-on...THE-last-boss..

[Greatermaximus]

Watch youtube and/or a more dedicated site on a tutorial how to beat Lavos. Speed Demos Archives anyone?

Isn't the hardest game but I agree about the great atmosphere and plot.

I forget who already, but someone mentioned both Secret of Mana and CT were the reasons they got involved in jRPGs. while i was growing up, as most younger brothers do, i basically worshiped my brother as an idol and everything he did was just simply the coolest thing ever to do, in the history of the world. And he played SoM. so i lived, breathed, and bathed in that game for many years. i think ive beaten it perhaps twenty times through from scratch.

I, unfortunately came to CT much later through emulation on my lappy. it was the original SNES emulation, so i got the original stuff. For me translation has never particularly bothered me, and graphics never have expectations. SoM and TC have been deep rooted favorites of mine for the SNES. as for all RPGs, I need to bow my head to Xenogears for having an original idea for battle play (which CT kinda did as well) And such a complex and compelling plot. Im replaying it right now and am currently in Solaris, bringing down the "monarchy" of Cain...

You obviously don't understand the mind of the hardcore gamer. One will play a crappy game, no matter how terrible, multiple times, if only to find more about that game that they hate.

Or because people accused them of not giving the game a chance so they played it all the way through out of spite, knowing that they then had every right to turn around and say "Yes, this game still sucks."

This is exactly the reason I beat Resident Evil 4; simply so that when I tell people that it's a steaming pile of monkey poo they can never pull the "well, maybe you didn't give it a chance" line.

Also, yes a lot of people think Chrono Trigger is really good, myself included.

I spent the summer of 1998 beating this game over and over repeatedly.

CT is probably the game I've replayed the most ever. It's designed to be that way sure, but if it wasn't so great I certainly wouldn't have continued playing!

Krelian. I'm replaying that game right now too, I just cleared out the transport ship with Billy.

it hurts my head to even think how someone can not like chrono trigger........speaking of which...will i be hated on if i say i'm pissed at square for ending the CT:CE project?..looked damn good to..;/

[Elly]

nope most people got pissed about S-Es Cease & Desist Order on the Chrono Resurection team, especialy since it doesn't appear that S-E has any plans of making an updated 3D CT themselves...
totaly forgot about Crimson Echos since i was never really interested in it...

[Khimbar2775]

anyone ever find the petition to remake ffvii as well for ps3? i signed it lol.

CE??? never heard of it till now, sounds (or i guess sounded) super awesome
