Hey there this is my first review, so I'll keep it short. Chrono trigger originally came out 1994 or something for the snes, but it trully stands the test of time. I'm not going to reveal much of the story. At the beginning of the game you go to a fair cellabrating 1000 years of peace. You meet this girl there,she joins you and then you meet your really smart friend to check out her teleporting invention, you try it, it works, but when the girl you meet tries the michine, it malfunctions and a portal opens and pulls her in and then she dissapears. Being the hero that you are, you follow after her and get sent back 400 years in the past, and your adventure begins. Thats all I'm goin to say but the story is really good, one of the best i've seen.
If you played another Square Enix game than you probably know how the gameplay is like. Unlike other RPGs battles are not random and don't take place on a seperate screen. The game uses an active real time turn based battle system. Instead of selecting commands for you party members and then hitting the go button and see what happens, each of your characters (you can have three in your party at a time) have a gage that once full alows you to select a command. When you are selecting your command the battle is still moving, enimies are attacking, your parties gauges are being filled, but you can change the settings so that the battle pauses when you select an attack and what speed it is. You can use a normal attack or use techs ( wich are like spells) wich can be single double(uses tow characters) or devistating triple techs that uses all the characters. You can equip weapons and armor with various stat enhancing capabilities, such as increased magic, defense against fire ex. There is also diferent weapon types, there are crossbows, guns, swords, arms ex.
I forgot to say that the story spans from 65,000,000,000 BC. to 23,000 AD.
Chrono Trigger is a quality game, the graphics aren't updated from the original virson but graphics isn't what makes a good game, its the story and gameplay and Chrono Trigger has the best of both. Chrono trigger is a must have for any RPG fan and even if you aren't you should still pick this one up.
New Chrono Trigger Form-ism figures of Crono and Marle have been showcased at a Square Enix pop-up store, with pre-orders expected soon.
Square Enix reveals Chrono Trigger: Melodies That Resonate Across Time, an orchestral album featuring ten classic tracks performed at the 30th anniversary concert in Tokyo.
A remake or even a modern port would do since it is one of the best games all time. Can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I first played it
Yasunori Mitsuda is a talented composer I love the music both from Chrono Trigger, Xenogears. I will always enjoy Nobuo Uematsu as well. I would love to have seen the Chrono Trigger concert live.
Chrono Trigger’s 30th anniversary will be celebrated with a full orchestra concert in Tokyo on January 17–18, 2026.
Can you announce a Chrono Trigger remaster or something and stop pretending you don't have millions of people that would buy it day 1? Morons.
A pixel remaster would be most welcome, especially with the option to choose between the SNES and DS translations.
3 more years and Xenogears will be 30. I would love to see Chrono Trigger get the FFVII treatment.
thats not up to them unfortunately
the people who have ownership over toriyamas art style are very very stingy and difficult to work with
I agree Chrono Trigger DS is far and away the best version of this classic title. I couldn't express the joy of having all the commands on the bottom screen for easy access and leaving the main screen uncluttered. Bet if it was for psp this would have been approved by now... good review tho.
