Why did they make such good games back then? This is from 1995 and nothing has surpassed it (out of all the JRPGs that exist)

Only white men and asian men made games, and they were passionate nerds and gamers themselves. Diversity quotas and women destroyed the industry.

2D JRPGs were perfected during the SNES era.

This is an unfair comparison.
This was a literal "dream team" of some of the best from both Enix and Squaresoft's RPG teams at the time in order to make this one, with Toriyama designs.

Ok OP. So we know you're not bullshitting, we're going to have you define "surpassed" right now.
IE: What qualities of the game are you taking into consideration by making this statement, and specifically, how are you comparing them to other entries in the genre?
Explain yourself thoroughly, or forever live with the shame of being a useless shitter.

It's not because every generation should have their own stars.

CT manages to be something far greater than the sum of its parts by means I'm not entirely sure of to this day. The music, the visuals, the pacing, even for a game as easy as it is overall, it still puts bosses at JUST the right beats to keep you enthralled and wanting to play more. The only thing it misses is a hard mode properly scaled for NG+, which is an understandable omission since NG+ in itself was novel at the time.

Racism is good and normal. Everyone on Earth is racist except White people.

Never replying to a post with that word ever again.

Because it's all a smoke and mirrors trick
Overworld encounters but you can't first strike, field positioning but you can't actuallly choose your position and it amounts to "Sometimes certain skills hit multiple targets", Skills are extremely simple and combined attacks are just nukes
However stuff like the Festival leading to the Trial is still mindblowing compared to other JRPGs, the ability to move wwhile text boxes are displayed is funny, and character animations are divine
Lucca's cute victory pose is the only reason I keep playing this lol

chrono trigger is lauded only because it's a game made for babies that happened to get localized

Imagine unironically thinking Chrono Nigger is a good game.
