Board 8 > Am I the only one who doesn't love Chrono Trigger?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Playing through it again now. It's okay. I love the story of Lavos and the game looks/sounds great even today, but it's not terribly interesting outside of that. I mean, it's not bad or anything, but I don't think it's great.

Yep. You're literally the only person on earth who doesn't love that game.

I've been thinking about this, and outside of Paper Mario, I don't think I've ever loved a 2D RPG. I guess that's not entirely true. I think VP1 and 2 are pretty fun. Aside from those though, yeah.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

I can understand not liking something like FF13 but CT? Seriously?

Well I went to it for the first time recently and I literally could not stop playing the game.

Then again I have Final Fantasy VI in my top 5, not to mention Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime in my top 10, so...yeah.

I'm sure there are other people out there with bad taste, TC, don't worry.

Not a great fan of this either. Can't see what's so special about the story or what's so special about the characters. It's not bad, it's something you should try if you still like jRPG's but yeah, not something I replay once every year.

Sup, trt?

like most JRPGs of the era it has a good story, great setting, presentation was top notch for the era, but has mediocre gameplay. I still like it, but it's getting harder and harder to get into it when recently other genres have stepped up their story telling and presentation. going to play old JRPGs is just a grind with the archaic gameplay at this point, and only a few like chrono trigger are still worth playing

only aspect of CT i liked was triple and double techs

pretty much nothing else stood out to me personally

Ironically enough, FF6 and CT are the only RPGs I've ever beaten. I'm hoping that FF7 joins that league soon, but outside of that, nothing.

Feel free to pop up in my thread and suggest that I stick to FF for a while, whenever it comes...

Once upon a time, the end.

I've always felt CT was horribly overrated. Not bad, but not amazing. It's not that I hate 2D RPGs either. I love a lot of other SNES games.

I'm not a huge fan of Chrono Trigger either, the game is alright but it's not good enough to keep my attention. Last time I played (back in 2008 I think) I got to Magus' castle and stopped there.

I really wonder why LMS thinks his Top 10 actually means anything with how few games he's played

I mean seriously, what the hell is special about a Top 10 when you've played 15 games

Games #8, #9, and #10 are closer to being called the worst games you've ever played than they are the best

It's certainly fun and I enjoyed it a lot more my second time through but I feel it's very much overrated. I've gotten to the end twice but just never felt the drive to kill Lavos at that point.

Great game. Own and played all the official versions, and have played all the fan translations. Pretty sure I played through the PSX version about a dozen times and always thought the load times were awful but didn't realize until later it was just the PSX version.

I like it, don't love it. It has a great soundtrack, pretty good characters, some heartfelt moments, some epic moments. Something about it keeps it from being up there with the best. Maybe the length.

Maybe the battle system. It lacks any real depth or strategy.

I'm thinking the battle system is probably why I don't love it myself. It feels like they just threw a bunch of stuff together.

It's alright. I don't really love it, there's loads of games (even RPGs) I find better, even around that same era. And past then? Probably not even in a top 50 of games. Maybe not even top 100.

WHAT???

And no I've played through more than just 15 games, although the estimate may be as low as 30.

It's alright but definitely one of the most overrated games ever.

I used to really like Chrono Trigger, but I got tired of it during the New Game Plus. Sure, I get everything CT does right. But I still find it overrated (specially compared to FFVI).
