Does it really deserve all the praise?

Consider it to be the prototype for FF7. Amazing game.

Yes indeed.

I liked Chrono Cross better in multiple ways, but CT was a solid game. It is probably one of the better 2D JRPG's.

best battle music ever

Better than anything Uematsu did

everything about the battle system in this game screams that the devs had originally allowed your characters to move during battle (think of the geometry-based techs that hit in a line). i'm guessing they found it too hard to develop, so they dropped the idea. I still think it could be worked in somehow...

It's a brilliant game and the cast is lovable except for Nadia.

I agree. Tech progression very quickly devolves into fullscreen all the time or single target. Characters being able to move and more line and character-radius attacks is the way I'd expand on the game.

I think the main issue they must have hit is that the battle positioning would have no environment collision, or they'd have to deal with that in some turn-based way while also accommodating odd boss rooms like Giga Gaia and Ozzie and such. The lead character could become stuck in walls or skip large dungeon segments after combat if it were allowed straight up.

Every singe last bit.
It's the only Square game, especially from the time that actually deserves every praise it gets.

>the priase that considers it the best jrpg of all time
t. insecure Personafag
Chrono Trigger is the best JRPG of all time and there's nothing you can do about it

Fuck you Marle is great. Charming personality, memorable sidequest, and her haste spell is great for lavos because it means you can have that null-ailment hat on all of your party instead of haste-hat

It's too cinematic in places, but I can see where the praise comes from. Get rid of some of the stupid movieshit bloat, and I'd consider it a far better game.

It's only like 20 hours long even if you are taking your sweet time. What kind of bloat are you talking about?

marle is great due to her yelling sprite

also yes robo and ayla kinda break the game

this game would greatly benefit from a 3d remake with ff7r combat

Not in the slightest lol

no

I'm gonna get hate for this, but I hate the parts that are mostly exposition, like the trial scene. That lasted way longer than it should've.

My party was ALWAYS Crono Frog and Magus or as I like to call them Chrono Glenn and Janus

Yeah. But playing through it and I'm.having a lot of fun.

It's a novel game with lots of interesting ideas about jrpg combat which was basically atb, DQ, or wizardry at the time. It doesn't handle all of them perfectly but it does them enough justice to be good. It has a fun story about time travel that never tries too hard to explain what's what and how it's happening, and a looming threat throughout.

Plus multiple endings. It's a good game. I'd say great even. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem all that special if you look at all the games that came out around the time it did, but in a bubble of it's release, it was pretty groundbreaking.

Sorta like sm64, it's still fun to play, but you can tell it's aged.

buddy, this is a game where you can solo every form of lavos with nothing but right clicks with crono at a reasonable level without any grinding who gives a fuck about actual combat mechanics you choose your party based on likeability and marle is at the bottom of the list

Can someone in this thread describe what makes it such a good game?

>everything about the battle system in this game screams that the devs had originally allowed your characters to move during battle
They did.
They wanted to give the ability to move in battle to the player to some degree but it was to difficult to implement.
They also had some sort of Active Time Event Logic System where you can interrupt NPC's when they talk and stuff but they couldn't implement that either.
Read these interviews they're rather illuminating in this topic
chronocompendium.com/Term/Supporting_Material_Translation.html#Chrono_Trigger_Gamest_Coverage
>Higuchi: Hmm, of course I did think that to an extent, but you don't know that it will work out the way you expect. It's that gap that's really hard. Actually, we were hoping to make something where the monsters moved better, and you could move around a lot doing the smallest actions, so it would move the same way as an action game, but the Super Nintendo had its limits—the processing speed was slow, there's only so much V-RAM, and we took a lot of time dealing with things like that.

And this is the interview about the Active Time Event Logic system which wasn't able to be implemented either(the last remnant of it in the final game being that you can move around freely while an NPC is talking to you)
shmuplations.com/chronotrigger/

that scene is like 2 minutes long you fucking aspie idiot.

can tell you're a zoomer

>Nadia
>Not "Marle"
>Implying she's not lovable and badass
Get the fuck out
Also Marle is the best single-target healer and she has some godly double and triple techs
Frog is the most useless party member overall

>this game would greatly benefit from a 3d remake with ff7r combat
You mean with Seiken Densetsu 3 combat, right?
Because that's what FF7R is.

Pausing the game constantly would unironically be a step back from Chrono Trigger's more active real-time system.

this is what zoomers think smart sounds like

Yes.

Crono/Ayla/Frog is always a good combination. You just spam Heal with Frog while Crono/Ayla use their double techs which deal really good damage. Lucca is probably the most useless party member. Every new tech she gets is just another fire attack.

Jesus dude that IS autistic!

And it didn't need to be. It could've been a minute long, max, and it would've gotten the point across. The fake ambassador guy wants to frame Crono because muh ancestor. That didn't need a massive drawn out case. It's not like it even matters anyway. They give you the illusion of choice, but you're set to be executed regardless.

>and her haste spell is great for lavos because it means you can have that null-ailment hat
You can use other pieces of armor that grant the same thing actually while equipping haste helms.
Marle is pretty viable overall though. Frog is the is the least useful party member and even he is workable.

>Crono/Ayla/Frog
this is the combo I always used but it seems rather unpopular

Considering shit has gone so far that people use it as a argument for Time Travel as a plot device being good? Most definitely not.

do you really have something better to do with those 60 seconds you fucking loser?

Go back to play Dragon Quest on NES you faggot.

because ayla has no personality and the combat is so brainless and simple and requiring absolutely zero grinding that its stupid to take characters that don't have something meaningful to say during story scenes

not an argument

zoom zoom little fella. it was fun to see that the game was actually paying attention to all the mindless shit you were doing without a second thought during the fair

>Crono/Ayla/Frog is always a good combination. You just spam Heal with Frog while Crono/Ayla use their double techs which deal really good damage.
This is pure cope.
Frog is a worse Robo in this case.

REMINDER

^^^^^^

I'm just saying, i hate when the game offers a pretend illusion of choice, and then does nothing with it. That wastes my time. I'd rather just skip it and get to the actual game part.

yes

Because Robo is a much better healer.

Chrono Trigger requires zero grinding no matter which party you choose.
Ayla's charm is way overpowered though and breaks the game in half.
Just charm some weapons in Mt. Woe and sell them to the Earthbound Ones store thing and you're literally set for the rest of the game.

>wastes my time
he posted on Yas Forums at almost 2am on a weekday, not realizing the irony.

At least I don't pay money to post here.If Crono trigger was a free to play game on the internet, it would be less of an issue.

>If Crono trigger was a free to play game
But it is
