"It didn’t take long to figure out why Chrono Trigger is still held in such high regard. The game kept me engrossed the entire way through, and in my opinion, is every bit deserving of its accolades. From stunning aesthetics to a very fun combat system, Chrono Trigger does extremely well to engross the player in its universe. This game has held up remarkably well despite its age, providing an experience all fans of the RPG genre should play, and then re-play!"
It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.
It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.
A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.
Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.
The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.
In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.
It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!
Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
My favorite of all time. Simply perfect
Still need to play this....going to get it on DS i think.
I have the DS version. I think it's the way to go if you want a physical copy of that gem and don't want to pay $100 US for the SNES version.
Just played through this again, so amazing.
