Chrono Trigger
Is this the most overrated game of all time?

>Combat is so fucking easy that you never even hear the battle theme get to the good part, just the shitty intro
>The positional "mechanics" are half baked and only matter in like 3 battles
>Didn't even invent ng+, atb or team attacks (their most jacked off features).
>Overworlds are empty as shit and small too, you can walk entire continents in 7 seconds flat
>The game lets you explore a bunch of time periods, but going anywhere other than the main story just gets you overleveled / overgeared for the rest of the game making an already easy game piss easy
>You can very easily overlevel and get to op
>even if you don't the combat is mindless easy and you can destroy anything with iust regular attacks
>If you somehow struggle in combat just spam your techs which obliterate everything and have almost little to no MP cost
>Even if you run out of mp (unlikely) there are too many shelters that both fully heal and restore MP
>Dino chapter is a fucking slog
>the main theme is overplayed, more likely to hear it more than just the regular battle theme
>The best part is frog vs magus and that's only like 1 hours of the total 17 hours runtime
>no side content aside of giving money to poor family and the side quests at the literal last hour of the game
>characters are shallow as a puddle consisting of
>Engineer girl that likes tech and crono
>Caveman girl that likes fight and crono
>Princess girl that likes jewel and crono
>Robot
>Crono
>a frog and mage that actually have some story
>Bosses are mostly bad with 1 gimmick attack like COUNTER, COUNTING FROM 5 TO 0, and more
>The bosses are just damage sponges with 1 gimmick, they are either a joke or too long for their own good
>Time periods feel like an afterthought alongside the whole time travel sequence since the overworld is so small it could of easily worked the same with them just being different regions
>final boss is a rerun unless you crash the ship
>it's a fucking moviegame

That would be any Zelda game.

You can nitpick like that about every game. Instead you should directly compare it to other JRPGs of the time. Are you gonna tell me that shit like Lufia 2 is actually better?!

Which game do you rate higher?

Mario RPG mogs
Live A Live was better
FF6 was superior
EarthBound
Even fucking Persona 1 did positioning but well

Romancing SaGa 2 is better
Final Fantasy V is better
Both came out on the same console, even before Chrono Trigger

Tremendous cope, but I get where you're coming from.
Must be some horrible inferiority complex from a CT player to shit on CC

Cross has always been a shit game and a contrarians pick for no reason.

Objectively wrong. CT is a normie's favorite retro JRPG, only rivaled by FF6. When it comes to 5th gen, FF7-9 are the most popular games, while CC is somewhat more obscure.

I've never said that CT isn't overrated, but CC is way worse, and truly is a contrarian's pick.
Its quantity-over-quality approach to playable characters alone is enough to declare it dogshit, and that's not even getting into its retarded plot and inferior stylistics.

Whatever you say brother.
but you got any real arguments against CT being overrated as fuck?

People only like this because of the story and music. There's no other reason, as these people don't like rpgs with more focus on gameplay.
Completely overrated.

If Chrono Trigger is bad to you, honestly WHICH video games do you enjoy? I really am wondering now.

So, a fast-paced lighthearted story-focused 4 negroids in a row game with no grind nor needlessly long encounters?
You sold me on Chrono Trigger, I'll give it a try.

Shitposters say it's bad but op says it's overrated, which is true. It's basically a movie game before the fmv cutscene genration. Unsuspecting players go in thinking it's a great game but the actual game part is very little and linear. Despite a wonderful ost and fun storym, it's disappointing as an actual game so it's overrated.

If you were familiar with JRPGs in 1995, there is no way that Chono Trigger didn't impress you.

For every negative point you list, you can easily list 2 positives.

Chrono Trigger is mechanically a stepdown from Romancing SaGa 2 and Final Fantasy V.

I don't think you understand the main point. The game doesn't deliver on the game part, instead focusing on its narrative which is fine for people who want a product like that but discourse around it doesn't distinguish between the two so it's lumped in as an amazing rpg when it's just a linear movie.

Care to tell me how it's impressive?
When literally all ingame mechanics are literally unfinished and the game says it so?
Clearly with all of your knowledge you'd be able to give a long and concise answer
