Preferably, plug in nice headphones, and set up shop in a quiet, dimly lit room. From Leene's Bell's soft ring to Frog's murky gurgles to Lavos' pell-mell, the sound, more than any of Chrono Trigger's complex time travel wizardry, transported me backwards over a decade to the first time I spent an entire night playing through a JRPG on my SNES. The opportunity to re-experience the brilliant work of famed composers Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda is reason enough for any fan to pick up the most recent Chrono Trigger update.
But for the non-fan or the gamer that missed Chrono the first time through, the DS iteration contains plenty of reasons to make the purchase. Originally released for the SNES in 1995, Chrono Trigger's aged splendidly. Part Bill and Ted, part Three Musketeers, the plot follows a young man, Crono, as he travels through time between 65,000,000 BC and 2300 AD to destroy the parasitic extraterrestrial, Lavos. Along the way he makes friends, slays enemies and saves the girl. Occasionally, his companions save him too."

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Yuji Horii may have accidentally confirmed a Chrono Trigger remake at Comicon in Naples. Eyewitness accounts suggest the beloved JRPG could be returning in HD-2D form.
So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.
I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked
I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.
I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
Dragon Ball staff reveal how Akira Toriyama created one of Chrono Trigger's most memorable characters as the RPG celebrates its 30th anniversary.
