- Great music (Seriously. I Doubt that you'll find a game where every music is outstanding.
- Gameplay with a lot of inovations (Real time rpg. Skills with different sizes and formats. Enemies that move on the screen for more strategic skill usage. GROUP SKILLS. Etc)
- Great story (The "journey of a hero" with travel an time. Normal citizens that get powers to save the world)
- Well animated moves.
- Amazing characters and interactions with each other (Every character that you choose for a mission will give DIFFERENT SPEECHS for the dialogues in the history)
- Graphics just "playable" for today.
- Steam version has even worse graphics than the original.
- A lot of limitations because of the age of the game (Almost no side missions; No impactful choices on the main history; No more things to explore; And so on).
Almost 30 years from it’s launch and Chrono Trigger is still the best game ever made. Lots of games even today fail into creating a game with any of the innovations and characteristics this game has.
Originality- the concept of time travel had never and will never be explored, dissected, and evolved beyond what CT did.
Linearity- with so many side quests to explore, everything feels necessary and available at any time making the journey feel filled to the brim with worthwhile content.
Length- ironic that a game about time travel is also a game that could, at least for all intents and purposes, never end. The story is short enough to never get old, but long enough to feel meaningful always.
Epicness- save the world, save all time itself... you won't get any bigger than that when it comes to the universal scale CT takes on.
Music- hands down, some of the best music ever created for any video game PERIOD. While games like FFVII may have more orchestral tracks with higher production value, and FFVI might have more characters with their own individual, highly memorable tracks, CT comes close to being near perfect with the effect that every single piece of music in it contains.
Ease of Use- never stifling to pick up by anyone, but robust enough not to be shallow, just another reason it transcends generations and is still seen as as perfect a game can get.
Innovation- so many elements of the gameplay were cutting edge, from fighting enemies on screen to combining attacks, any game after that which would attempt something similar would simply be trying to rip CT off.
Replayability- with so many endings, so much perfection from start to finish, this game will be played over and over again, until the end of time...
So much has been said about this game; the story, characters, epicness of the music and gameplay… bottom line is it still lives up to the hype. Is it “better” than FF7 to me since that’s it’s only other real competition… in some ways. Is it the best JRPG of all time? Also, in some ways. It’s really easy at this point so I’m biased but, in terms of “package” and the impact of that in one game, CT is Godlike, nearly unmatched and hopefully will be forever.
