One of the best RPG's of it's time and certainly one of the best ever made!
I think I was like 14 when this came out. I still play the SNES version and I still listen to the OST every so often even 15 years later. I miss the days of simple game graphics (SEGA/SNES) when story telling and music made the biggest impact on fun factor.
Catchy...? CATCHY???!!!!!!! IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY??!!!!!!!! That's an INSULT to Yasunori Mitsuda's work!!!!!!!! There's sooooo much more to it than just "CATCHY"!!!!!
Just take Marle's Theme, for example. Not even in most movie scores (and definitely not in most popular music) do you see progressions like I-V-I-V6-vi-V6/V-V(6/4-5/3)-I6-V6/ii-ii-V-I-V6-vi-iii6-IV-I-ii7-V-I. And this is just a simple lullaby. Don't even get me started with the Credits Theme!!!
Why remake a game that's already good? It's already an awesome game, they're not gonna make it better. If remakes have taught us anything, it's to just leave things alone. Chances are, when remaking it, they'd change a lot of stuff around. We wouldn't want them to, but they would anyway. So a basic re-release is fine with me, at least that way, it's still just as awesome.
@kNIGHTWING01 reli?? cuz i'm not always a huge fan of handhelds, cuz i don't reli play games wen i'm out, and i don't see the point in playing it on a tiny screen in my house when i cud be playing it on a tv with a console.
@DaRkLoRd1061 It does not matter what version you play, as long as you play it. On the PSX, you get cool animated cut scenes but you have to deal with load times. On the SNES, you have no load times but you do not get the cool animated cut scenes.
@fsmetal i tryed playing a ps1 rom, but the load times were pissing me off, but i managed to find a cheap cartridge now for the snes, so i 've played it on that, it's an awesome game, just everything about it is done brilliantly...
@fsmetal it is definetly one of my favourite snes games for sure, only reli beaten by link to the past, and ff6, for me and thats mostly becuz of nostalga reli...
@DaRkLoRd1061 im assuming you've already played the game now, but now the best would be wii, because of how easy it is to get and its not illegal like emulators and its the snes rom.
I have to admit I was a little disappointed in the "remakes" of Chrono Trigger, since when was the definition of remaking something copy and paste? They made final fantasy 4 into complete 3d on the DS, why couldn't they do the same to CT? Chrono Trigger is as popular as FFIV if not more, and the DS is more than capable. Not to mention instead of negotiating with the team that tried to remake CT, they just decided to threaten to sue their asses. Cmon Square Enix are you afraid to make money?
lucky for you, you only had 3 months to wait and play this game.
I...on the other hand being from Australia...had to wait a massive 13 years all because Square never translated their games for PAL territory that included all those European countries...
But thanks for FF7 for the PSX, they changed their ways and started translating for PAL territory...
So yeah, fantastic game, only I had to wait 13 years just to play this and I was 24 at the time I finally got to play it.
i HATED that thing. i could not beat it for the life of me wit crono marle and frog. then i used ayla insted of marle and i pwned the thing so fast i didn't even need to heal at all
You know you have a point. Final Fantasy IV was remade an assload of times and it was remade into 3D for the DS version. However, I think it would be extremely difficult to make a Chrono Trigger in 3D unless if it's for the PS3. PSP and DS wouldn't work out.
@Aaron1046 Yes Thats Ture But I'm Mad That Than Didn't Make a Chrono Trigger 2 The Game Last Year Was 2 In The Beset Games For N 64 And The DS Why Not Make a 2
Chrono Crusade had nothing to do with the games Oxe...It was based around a character named Chrono who is a demon...sorry if i come off like a jerk but thoguht you might like to know that
aw kwing dont you know better that to stay up playing chrono trigger? But oh well the story just sucks you in. I think there was an anime called chrono crusade. It was a little based on this, but a chrono trigger anime woul've been way better
Chrono Trigger is awsome but Chrono Cross is just as awsome as this!
Eevn though Chrono Cross has almost no connection to Chrono Trigger,its still a great RPG in my opinion,I really liked the fact that you have such a wide veriety of characters to choose from(even though ALOT others will disagree with me....)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
golden sun is awesome but not as awesome as crono trigger.. and i think crono is even much better than i you ever think of before final fantasy 7.. just play this game and you will know whats the def. between golden sun and chrono.. and classic always win the best game because they are the first ^^ but not all classic games.. ^^
DAMN Kwing! you made my friend Paul cry by mentioning 9 11 and explaining the atmosphere in NY and saying how scared everyone was. Well that's what he said and he remembered that day. Being scared and running for his life man! he was running away right when the South Tower was coming down and luckily got away somehow. But now he got over himself.
i love your reviews, its fun to watch, and you do a brilliant job. and you're wife does a great job too, and you have a voice that's fun to listen too. thanks kwing, hope you had a fun christmas and have a very happy new years.
hey k-wing awesome review for chrono trigger for my money best review sence the legend of zelda a link to the past review i have a quick question though when you said that the elevater part in the undersea palace reminds you of the old turtle games from konami is it the turtles of time for the old arcade and snes that has the elevater part in the technodrome or is it the turtles 2 for the old arcade and nes that also has the elavater part with the droping huge rolling balls thing
i got it for ds the same day i posted that comment lol your review just made me remember who much nostalgic and fun this game was id say itd the best rpg ever i like it just as much as planescape and fallout even though there completely different thanks =P
kind of a dumb question but all the animated cutscenes are in the ds version too?

Loved how it was!
Its just how Square shuted down a fan made Chrono trigger that was being made in 3d!
So they ruined what was doing to be epic, just so they can come around and remake it for the 3rd time to be another Copy and past from the snes..
tho i still love CT, id like to see it in 3d..
