GamerVision: Chrono Trigger Review

Honestly, Chrono Trigger's main flaw is the fact that it came out in 1995. This might sound like a really stupid thing to complain about, and for gamers who love old-school RPGs, this won't be an issue at all. However, the genre has come a long way since then, and even with some new missions and tweaks, there's no denying that Chrono Trigger is decidedly antiquated. This game is still wonderful, and Square Enix have made sure that the handheld remake is the definitive version of the game. Chrono Trigger DS is a remake done right, and both longtime fans and new players should pick it up.

Simply put, this is one of the most incredible games I ever played! I was lucky to have played this GEM when it came out for the SNES so many years ago. Every moment was wonderful, well written and exciting. The combat, Perfect! The music, Perfect, the story Perfect.

This game really came out at a time when Square was on top of it's game and no Square game has come close to this high mark. Multiple Endings and so many hours of game play! Ever so often I ponder the idea of emulating it and reliving those moments. Sadly, I am not sure if I have the time to put into a game I have already beat.

If you haven't played this game, you owe it to yourself to either find a SNES and a copy or download it via rom and emulate it. Trust me, you have never played a game as deep and engaging as this.

I would love to see square release a true squeal to this game. I wouldn't mind it if the graphics were the same, hand drawn wonderful as the first was. 3d is not always better!!!

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9236d ago

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.

LG_Fox_Brazil36d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

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.

I want a full on 3d remake but I suppose HD2D is fine.

Snookies1243d ago

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.

darthv7243d ago

I'd imagine it would be something like... chrono cross

goken43d ago

I am hoping a modern AAA return…

Chard43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

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

Knightofelemia43d ago

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.

jznrpg42d ago

Yes to Xenogears and Xenosaga!

jznrpg43d ago

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
