MY FAV RPG OF ALL TIME!!!!

Chrono Trigger is simply the best RPG ever.
Why?
The storyline draws you in and captivates you (once it gets going). Time travelling and altering events in the future is just cool. The battle system is so unique, with the combo-techs!! I can't get enough of that Dark Eternal attack!
So, it's an old game, I never reviewed it, but here it is. I am ONLY reviewing Chrono Trigger.
Why did I not give it 5 stars? Well, I would give the SNES 5 stars, but one thing that irritates me about this game, is because I played it on the SNES, I'm not used to these stupid load times. It's ANNOYING!!!! So, that's why it's knocked down to 4 because of those load times that I myself am not used to. If you haven't played the SNES version it probably won't bug you.
Otherwise, go get this game. It's simply the best RPG ever. If you plan on playing Chrono Cross, and never played the PS version, you should. It makes Chrono Cross more understandable, because I picked up Chrono Cross, and played it and I was just like....HUH???? WHAT IS THIS???
Then I played the PS version, and one CG event, makes so much difference.....
old school games

It may have 24 bits, But for those that grow up with nintendo and super nintendo like this style. But still like the new stuff. I can spend hours playing both games. its got a good story line.

I played chrono trigger 10 years ago, but never finished the game. A few months ago I found out about the P S re-release. What A time trip I played through the ten years later, and it was like the game had not aged one day! Truly some of the most memroibal characters and story line of any game movie or book for that matter. Today's RPG s don't even come close in terms of game play and story. Final fantasy X is a total piece of crap compared to this gem. Immortal.
One of the best RPGs I've Plated (CT)

The only problem with Chrono Trigger was the long delays in loading the menus (a few seconds going to and from the menus)....otherwise, one of the best RPGs I've played.
Great Deal

Since the Original ChronoTrigger was on Super Nintendo, this is a oldie but a goodie. Great graphics and excellent story lines.
Great game and not a bad price

I liked this game. I mean Final Fantasy VII is still the god final fantasy game but this was ok. I mean it also comes with chrono trigger. if you have played chrono cross and got confused that means you never played trigger.
Yes FF IV was the one with Sir Ceical the "Dark Knight"

I played this game back in '91 when I was 21 watching 21 Jumpsteet. Even the dumbed american version(of this game) was fun and at the time the only good form of entertainment.(better than 21 junkstreet with Jonny Dork and Hollie Ugglieson and that stupid werewolf show whatever lame coorprate PC bull-- show we Xr's had availible to watch back then.)
Sir Ceicel the Black Knight turned prettyboy Paladin was the talk of the day back when; even though it is knocked today. Nintendo Power had nothing but good things to say about this game and Ceicilboy(and of course you could change his name). I only wish they would release this on GBA instead of a big consoles so I could play it in bed like the lazy() I am. FFIII is actually a title not released at all in America and instead a faked FFIII(V? II? ???). Altough I like Final Fantasy (I got reinterested when I got the FF Dawn of Souls for the GBA) thier is a lot of grandiosing such as space travel and modern stuff mixed in midevil settings that I think is inappropriate. I think it should only be midevil and mystical as in FF1 and 2(Japanese 1, 2 not US 1/ 2) Why does Cece, Rosa and company have to go to the friggen moon. cartoon Amimea is weird that way but I beveve some of the lameness is replaced with a better plot this time around in the Japanese version for PS. I still rate it Five before and after except for the moon crap and the machines.(which may or may not be there this time around)
this sucks

Chrono Trigger a great game involing a good plot story and charaters with great graphics for its time it is one game you do not want to miss. Final Fantasy 4 (2 in america) is a great game and with the new cut scences it is better than ever. This game is diffrent from Final Fantasy 2 with a few plot changes makeing the expercince fun all over agian. These are two games that you do not want to miss.
ONE OF THE BEST RPG'S EVER

GOOD I'm the first to actully write a review here.
unfortinly I do not have THIS version yet but ... it's chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV two of the best games ever made. and you can have all these new RPG's, But Chrono Trigger still beats them all. All I can say is get this game. The loading time might kill like in Final Fantasy Anthology but I really didn't have much of a loading time with FFA as many people said they did. This is a Must buy I think.
