Got Chrono Trigger, so far not impressed at all

[Dreddz]

Everything was good, not great as everyone said so. The only thing that really shone out was the music, friggin awesome.
I say you beat CT, its still a good game. After this, you can play CC which IMO, is alot better.

I found Chrono Trigger to be really neat because of the fact you could go forward and backward into time. How cool is that?

All I hear is blah blah blah about the story. Half the reason the game is so great is because of it's unique battle system. From area attacks, line attacks, dual techs, triple techs, magic and tech skills made the game different. Also the fact that enemies moved around made it interesting also as you could chance waiting for them to get into position to do that area attack.

The music is great, battle system is great and it also has some of the best graphics on the SNES and is one of the biggest game ever released on the SNES reach 4 MB in size...very few games ever came close to that in size and only a few surpassed it.

Another great thing about the game(as you will find out) is the side quests at the end. They are free form and all actually tell a good part of the story for each character.

Then there is new game + and all the different endings you can achieve so replay is high.

There are multiple approches to activating the final battle with the boss of the game on top of that.

For those reasons and more it is hailed as one of the best games ever.

Exactly.

I first played Chrono Trigger when it came out on the SNES, I guess I was 8 or 9 or so...since then my SNES was fried due to faulty wiring where I was living at one point, and I sold all my games to Gamestop. Huge mistake, as I now have the engineering knowledge to fix it, but no reason to. However, I digress.

I picked up CT for the PS1 after I fixed my PS2, and play through it all the time on an emulator. I can get 100% completion in about 20 hours now without New Game+. New Game+, however, is fun for having an "ongoing" game, which can continue even after beating the final boss. However, again I digress~

Chrono Cross to me was lackluster, because I was expecting something to live up to the Chrono Trigger name. I was extremely disappointed upon playing it, to find that it did not tie in with the Chrono Trigger storyline at all, and I ended up not continuing at some point. I think I was still on the first disc.

I later found out that the storylines do, in fact, tie in...but in a way more like FF4/FF9. Actually playing through it is still on my to-do list.

I guess my advice to you is just to keep playing. Try to push what the hype planted in your mind, back out of your mind. The most boring part of the game, to me, is circa 12000BC. It just seems repetitive right there. However, before and after own. Maybe you'll get some enjoyment out of the storyline.

I like trigger because of the battle system and everything in it is the best, oh and the side qeusts are hard but very cool if you do them, I got my characters really high and they know every tech and magic ( I still have a snes and that game here),but yet the boss is hard but I played through the whole story(no shortcuts through the bosses thing at the end)

I like Trigger better because I'm a character guy. Cross just had a bunch of nobodies that said the same thing in their own dialect depending on if they were in the second or third slot.

Seeing as the main character doesn't talk and the only important character is really not a battle party member 99% of the game, that sort of bugs me... But the overall plot was good. I guess I require both in unison for a game to truly be amazing to me.

That said, the battle system is my favorite any RPG has ever devised. Makes me all torn in two.

How did Chrono Cross get a perfect 10 on Gamespot ,the only RPG to get the honor. Disturbs me

CT is the best RPG of all time, not CC.

[fire_of_avalon]

I've yet to finish either game, but I do believe that CT is a lot of fun. But for me, that's really all it is. There are no subtleties or complexities that you'll find in CC, which is just as much fun. I think the large cast of characters in CC is interesting, because to me, it lends the idea of the broadness. Like, in every RPG ever you are saving the world with a ragtag group of 6-10 people. In CC, you're doing it with something like 44, all from different backgrounds, with different stakes. I prefer CC to CT, but I think they're both great games.

[Moon Rabbits]

I couldn't stand Cross, and I really liked Trigger. For awhile it held position as my favourite RPG, but that was swiped away by my second play of FFIV.

I replayed Trigger and it sort of lacked an epic feel the second time through, as do alot of RPGs I play a second time...

[Cecil_Dawn]

Keep playing it! you'll fall in love with it!

The dude to whom you're speaking was banned quite a while ago. I'm pretty sure we can let it go.
