Chrono
Trigger is one of the best and most innovative games ever. Everything from
it’s one-of-a-kind battle system to it’s basic gameplay.
It starts off as a 16-year-old named Crono gets out of bed and starts his
everyday life, but today is a special one because it is the day for the
millennial fair at Leene Square. When you go there you accidentally bump into a
girl named Marle (she has a secret identity) and take her with you to your best
friend Lucca’s invention, the time egg. I’ll leave the rest up to you to
find out but along the game you meet up with many unique characters drawn up by
Dragonball Z creator Akira Toriyama. The whole world as a matter of fact looks
like Goku’s little planet.
They call this game Chrono Trigger because you eventually travel back and
forth through time to correct an evil that has secretly plagued the planet for
millions of years since it crash-landed during the time of the dinosaurs. This
game also has a very clever side option called New Game Plus. This lets you play
through the game again with your stats from a previous game! So that means you
can start a new game on level 60 or with the best weapons, you just have to beat
the game a certain way. There are many paradoxes along the way that outcome the
whole game.
I think this is a strong title even though it’s the year 2002
practically. The graphics are all the rage buts there nice and clean, no bugs.
The sound is still pretty good; It is composed by Yasinori Mitsuda and a little
by Nobuo Uematsu. The melodies are great and this would be my favorite
soundtrack if it were real orchestra. Overall this is still a good game despite
it being primarily a snes game but you can snag a PSX copy now. It has lots of
bonuses anyway like anime’ movies and music box. I give Chrono Trigger a
steady 8
out of 10.
