This is defenatly the best Rpg ever made, even beter than the Final Fantasy Series. Altough it lacks in Graphics compared to wahat we got today it has a very rich and thick Storyline. I played and beat this game 58 times in one year and it never gets boring. This game has nice Music but not as quality like as the newer Square Games. SOOOOOOOO!!!!

BUY THIS GAME!!!BUY THIS GAME!!!

If you dont like this game you are out of your mind!!!!

MY SWEET LOVING JESUS!

Since I was very young, I played the first Final Fantasy for Nintendo. It was a bit corny at the time (since Super Nintendo was already released) but I enjoyed it a lot. I have played almost every Square RPG released. Even after all of them, including Final Fantasy 7, Chrono Trigger is still the greatest game I have ever played.
The main character in the game is YOU. YOU are Crono, many people thought he was mute, but in the game you talk for him. The depth of the ALL characters are amazing. The dialogue was superb.
I personally don't think any other game has a plot better than this one. Crono's death was far more moving that the death of Aeris in Final Fantasy 7 (although that part was pretty sad!). Bottom line, even by today's standards, the story is incredible.
Unlike many other RPG's, even the smallest action could lead to a different ending. Depending on what you choose to say or do, the outcome can be different. The ending for Chrono Trigger is the best game ending I have ever seen!! Not to mention there's over a dozen endings.
Another great feature, the fighting engine. It's not like the "random battle" fighting engine that always aggravated me Final Fantasy. You can actually see the enemy before the attack you. In some parts of the game, you can even do stealth kills (when Crono is put in jail, when the team is captured in the Airship in 12000 B.C.). Also, each character had their own specific abilities. It made them all unique, which was great. I much prefer this idea over the whole "materia" concept. And the team actually works as a TEAM!! There are magical AND physical skills than uses two or even three members of the team working together. If you have a game with a lot of characters fighting together, doesn't it make sense for them to work together?
This is the most under rated game ever made. It was quite popular in Japan, mainly because the creator of Dragon Ball Z (which was still hot at the time and not in North America yet) had a big part in the game. If you decide to play it now, the Playstation version is ok, since it has cool video made by the great Toriyama (creator of Dragon Ball Z). The graphics are lousy, but way ahead of it's time considering the age of this game.
Too bad Square Enix, or whatever the hell they're called now, has no plans to do anything with this franchise. Seems all they can do is ruin them. This game was royally screwed over with its less than worthy sequel Chrono Cross, which I never intend to play. I tried once, once is enough.

I know most people first RPG experience from Squaresoft was probably Final Fantasy 7. Compared to Chrono Trigger, FF7 is weak, VERY weak. Final Fantasy 6 was the greatest of the series, period. And Chrono Trigger was the greatest game ever made!

Best RPG Ever

I don't know what else to say that hasn't already been said about this game, it rocks. The soundtrack is extremely impressive, the story line is excellent, the characters are awesome.

This was the first revolutionary RPG.

Ah, the Super Nintendo, the heyday of the RPG- a genre known for archaic, medieval settings and storylines and masters of swords and sorcery. However, even on the Super Nintendo, which was the Playstation of its time in terms of RPG development, there is one RPG that has always- and still does- stand out. Chrono Trigger, the revolutionary game by Squaresoft, had an epic storyline. Even now, in a whole new generation of 3D graphics and with mindless games like Grand Theft Auto plaguing our game-store shelves, the beauty of Chrono Trigger as a 16-bit masterpiece can still be appreciated. It had only seven main playable characters (one is optional and semi-secret, however), and of those, one was a robot and another was a frog. Despite the first impression I just gave, you will come to know and love all these characters, from Frog's archaic speech and quest for vengeance to Lucca's super-smart, lovably nerdy personality, to Marle's tomboysihness, to Robo's confusion as to his place in the world of humans. In addition, the magic system was totally original and is extremely fun. Your characters master a series of "techniques," skills involving both their weapons and magic. However, that is not the limit, as two or more characters can combine their techniques into Double Techs or Triple Techs. For example, Crono alone can use the technique Slash, and Lucca alone can use the technique Fire1, but together they can perform the Double Tech "Fire Sword." Similarly, Crono's Spincut attack, Robo's "Laser Spin, and Ayla's Tail Spin technique can be combined into the Triple Tech "Twister." Each single, double, and triple technique has its own unique, awesome-looking animation (try unlocking the triple techs Dark Eternal, Omega Flare, Poyozo Dance, and Grand Dream for some real eye-candy). In addition, the game is underscored by an excellent music track, composed mostly by Yasunori Mitsuda. The score includes such favorites and scene-fitting music as the uber-dramatic boss battle theme, Frog's triumphant theme music, the futuristic, racing-game-esque music that plays during your motorbike race with a robot from the future, and the appropriately mysterious and yet exciting theme of Magus, an evil shadow mage from the past. All of these tracks work to enhance the overall gameplay experience.

Overall Score:
Storyline: 7/10
Character Development: 10/10
Gameplay: 9/10
Graphics: 9/10 (for that time period, at least)
Music: 10/10
Originality: 10/10

Overall Score: 9/10 = 4.5/5 = 5 stars

A Pinnacle

What more could one possibly add? Chrono Trigger rocks in any epoch.

First, you've got a somewhat easy plot--time travelers attempting to avert apocalypse--but then thrown in is the fresh and startling idea of an omnipotent stellar parasite. It's amazing what imagination gets packed into these 16 bits. The end of time. Zeal. Mystics and Magus. Twists and turns shake out as personalities start reappearing in different guises, chunks of backstory from each character. The battle system is heavenly, typical RPG ATB plus a new added geometric strategy. Everything's streamlined, from the tecs to armor shopping. Graphics are beautiful and somehow simultaneously fun, sound effects spice it up just right.

The soundtrack is a model of the video game score, and Mitsuda's tunes are rightly among the mainstays of the genre. The quartal fanfare of the main theme, the gentle town melodies, the truly haunting overworld tune, the ghastly Magus dirge, the trial background, Robo's electropop track, and Frog's tripletty song, all simply marvelous.

The game remains as fun as it was when debuting.

One of the best games for super nintendo

I personally felt this game was fun the first time, but has no replay value and gets boring after a while.

Storyline:
Interesting, catchy, but did not really make me feel like "oh, that was a good story". It felt quite simple if you really summarized it (Lavos destroys world in future, heroes join together to defeat Lavos and save world). Something like FFT had a more unique and complex storyline, more of my type.

Gameplay:
I felt this part was quite bad. It had slightly interesting systems, dual/triple techs, but often the game felt way too easy. I couldn't feel any challenge in it, and this made the game kind of boring.

Music:
I thought it was catchy and gets you into the mood, but again, it was not "good". It was not something I would play and really feel like playing it forever because it was so beautiful, but some of the battle musics from FFT (Sweegy woods, Golgarand Execution site, 1st battle with miluda) made me feel that way. Even music from FF4 (tower of Bab-il, battle with elements) or FF6 (Terra' theme, random battle) was more appealing

Graphics:
This was the one part of the game I really appreciated, and I was overjoyed when I saw similar sprites in FFT. I do not enjoy 3-d graphics that take up memory and make the game slow, and are really annoying after a while, and quite ugly, like blocky Cloud and awkward Squall. However, I felt these sprites were perfect: something like FF 1-6 had simple sprites with a kind of blurry image, but these had clear, pleasant-looking sprites. I loved it. This is my favorite type of sprite I've ever seen. Not just the sprites, but all the graphics were great. My only complaint were the portrait-like pictures of the characters in the menu screen, but that's an art opinion, not really involved with graphics.

Overall, I thought it was an all right game, but not great.

Best rpg ever made!

Chrono Trigger is the worst game I have ever played. The game is bad. It is not worth buying...The game has horrible graphics, sound, gameplay, and has an extreamly stupid and predictable plot...
