Bubsy spamming again

It's not even better than Star Ocean 1 and Tales of Phantasia which came out in the same year.

It's popular, and originally released on a console from company I hate.
Bad.

>>11813748 (OP)
unmatched in hype levels really. it was insanely overhyped. Played it to finally see this masterpiece and all i got was shitty combat, a retarded convoluted story, forgettable music besides magus, and lame characters in general.

Time travel has never been done right in any game.

Get mog by it's sequel

Correct. It's the most perfectly executed JRPG of all time.
>Coherent smooth very sensical story line
>Every character has a deep interesting backstory
>Top 5 OST all time
>Never a dull moment or wack part to slog through
>Accessible but fun battle system

Notice how it's the opposite of chrono cross other than the music (cross music is even better)

I still remember how impressed I was back then when seeing the graphics in a magazine. RPGs never had such good graphics so this was pretty new.

>>11813748 (OP)
It's SNES Final Fantasy 2.0, cooked to perfection.

It's comfy as fuck and very entertaining; if you don't like it, jarpigs just ain't for you and that's okay.
>>11815575
No, it sucked in that game too. It was only done right in CT.

Fuck no. Reverting the changes the player does. What a waste.

>>11815578
I agree. The more RPGs I play, and especially the more I step outside of the generally well-loved classics, the more I appreciate about Chrono Trigger.
So many RPGs are good overall but are weighed down by a few frustrating aspects. Chrono Trigger is a fairly simple game but by comparison it feels incredibly smooth and pleasant to play because it lacks those flaws.

I think my biggest complaint is that you have to use a party of three.
The characters are all fun so I want to use everyone, but I have a hard time putting down my favorites to sub in someone else. I don't think I've ever played through it without using Chrono and Ayla.
If I had my own time machine and could change one thing about it, I'd give it something like the system in FF10 where you can sub in any member of your team at any time. Combining that with the Dual Tech/Triple Tech system would be so much fun.
That and I'd add in a fun non-canon harem ending. But I'd add that into literally any game I play, so it kinda goes without saying.

>>11815782
>The characters are all fun so I want to use everyone
True. Then again, replaying is more fun, seeing new dialogue from companions you haven't rolled with before.

Like when you save Melchior in the past, Frog comments on him fixing Masamune, and Melchior's like
>bro what you talking about

>>11815554
What the fuck?

>>11813763

Both of those are complete shit. I can't believe someone like you even exists.

>>11815740
>Reverting the changes the player does
This is an immersive realistic take on time traveling though. If you could time travel irl you'd probably find yourself a tad frustrated

>>11817992
You haven't even played those other games. People who think Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG have played less than 5 JRPGs. It's not even in the top 5 SNES JRPGs

>>11818045
This.
I like CT a lot but people only like it because LE EPIC WORK OF TORIYAMA, SAKAGUCHI AND UEMATSU.
If it weren't for those three people nobody would bat an eye to this game. Thinking CT is the best there is can be cured by expanding your horizons and being open minded.

>>11815568
I'm playing it right now on and off, it's really not that great. I do enjoy it somewhat. Enough to keep playing. As far as time travel in games, I enjoyed the time travel aspect in Ultima worlds: Martian dreams.

It’s a gorgeous snes game. The story is fun and interesting. For me it’s pretty close to top if not GOAT. But I’m a pretty big JRPG fag. All the classic final fantasy and dragon quests are great. DQ1 and FF1 were pure gameplay. Dragon Quest had more started doing epics even on NES. FF4 on SNES really dove into characters. Then you get shit like FF6, and Chrono Trigger, and Dragon Quest 5. Just totally epic adventure packed with awesome characters and fun stories. Saying they’re overrated is like saying you could write a better lord of the rings. The right people came together and made classics. But I think it just comes down to taste. But if you’re a JRPG enjoyer there’s no way you don’t find CT enjoyable. And it’s the same reason that for platformer people most probably mario 3 or world is the perfect game: they perfected the formula and the hardware limitations kept the games refined.

>>11813748 (OP)
That's right. It is my favorite, and the reason I'm here. Could always go back to it whenever and it remains fun. It was crafted by masters into pure art that will resonate forever.

>>11818045
Would you care to share your Top 5 SNES JRPGs?

Ahem.

>>11815568
>convoluted story
Wat. CT's story is so fucking simple that it may as well not have one.

>>11820517
This. Also, bland characters.

It's fitting that if there was really a film analog to CT, it's Back to the Future, not just because CT shamelessly copies it in the first arc, but because they're both on about equal grounds of casual enjoyability while putting just enough meat on the bone to make it more satisfying than other members of its class. Sometimes when I can't think of what game to play, I wish every game could be Chrono Trigger. I come to my senses later but damn. Great game.

>>11815740
it's time travel dipshit
how the fuck you expect the player's actions to persist before they happened?
time travel stories aren't bad, most of you motherfuckers are just too stupid to understand them

>>11820380
Not him but:
> Star Ocean
> Tales of Phantasia
> Lufia 2
> Terranigma
and of course >FF6

>>11820589
> Terranigma
more like terrornigger

>>11820581
Time travel is never good in stories.

>>11820589
How are teranigma and illusion of gaia? Been meaning to play them.

>>11820654
Terranigma and Illusion are action RPG's similar to Zelda but better. Terranigma specially is peak.

why is terranigma the trendy game lately? nobody used to give a fuck. did some zoomtuber do a faggoty video essay on it?

>>11820589
I don't have anything particularly negative to say about your choices, but I think it's worth pointing out that only two of your five were released in America.
From a Japanese perspective I can see how a person might think Chrono Trigger is overrated, but I can't imagine having that opinion as a kid growing up in America and seeing it release one month after Tecmo Secret of the Stars.

>>11820681
>two of your five were released in America
Not an issue when emulation and translation patches exist since the late 90's when these games became known online.

>>11820581
>make a game about time travel
>but it's all about erasing progress
How about using time travel for cool shit, like Chrono Trigger did?

>>11820683
Neither of the two games unavailable in English were translated in the nineties. Star Ocean and Tales of Phantasia were both first translated by DeJap Translations in 2003 and 2001 respectively.

>>11820493
Still a deeper protagonist than Chrono.

>>11820589
>lufia 2
based.

>>11820668
>nobody used to give a fuck
Maybe because the game didn't release in america? Only JP and PALchads had the chance to play it when it was released.

>>11821412
what, so america just discovered this game two weeks ago and can't stop posting about it ever since? nah. bad explanation.

>>11820668
Contrarians have been posting it here for several years though?

>>11821665
and now everybody is on it's dick all of a sudden

>come across enemies i remember being fucking annoying

The combat gets more fun around halfway through the game, I really like it. Lucca got a gun with confuse, let's see if it comes in handy.

Kino game and box.

I'll take Chrono Trigger over FF6 anyday.
Over Secret of Mana.
Over Link to the Past.
But this is all based on me not thinking any of those game are all that good.
I think CT is good but not exciting in any way. It's well-made, polished, but kinda boring.
Terranigma > CT

>>11815568
oh no. the try hard didn't like popular thing and came up with a bunch of vapid nitpicky excuses to why its actually bad and everyone has been wrong this entire time

>>11824834
>everyone has been wrong this entire time
Yeah this!

>>11824112
I love the simplicity of the Japanese boxes.

For some reason I expected the optional party member to not have a lot of scene dialogue committed to him, but now I using him I've found out I was wrong. There was a nice little moment where a character from his past recognized him.

It's impressive how many details they kept relevant.
