Isn’t this just Chrono Trigger?
Best damn game of all time!!!
Worth playing even today?
Absolutely. It is a very short JRPG that wastes no time and has no filler. I finish it about monthly.
The only discernible flaw is that one dialog box is missing a closing quotation mark.
The game mechanics and pixel graphics (not to mention the great soundtrack) aged amazingly well. I'm super biased though
Caveat: the graphics were fairly low-res even for its time, and that bugs some people.
Everything else though... it is made by the people who did the early Final Fantasy series, who were given the free reign to do as they pleased so this is how they wanted games to be. e.g. battles aren't random but you can see them on the screen before you fight them, which increases the level of immersion. Most are also skippable if you wanted, though if you fight each battle once then you need do no grinding at all unlike most early JRPGs.
It is super short, but has a New Game+ feature with >15 different endings. So very replayabile. It offers very little difficulty, but that's not what it's for, being a story game. Especially the first time, set battle mode to "Wait" so you have all the time you want to think through things.
And I wasn't exaggerating saying that it's a strong contender for best game of all time - again caveat those gfx but otherwise... The reviews it got were phenomenal and as you see it has a cult-like following!:-)
Not sure why people would be funny about the graphics.
Those SNES era 2D games have aged much better than the PS1 era 3D games.
Get a good CRT filter set up and it's just
But actually though, all the SNES graphics were designed for CRT screens and universally look a bit ass on modern displays. A proper CRT TV is hard to get these days but display filters for emulators have come a long way.
yes.
