This game's fantastic, the best JRPG I've ever played. One of the best soundtracks and most well-written stories across any medium. The soundtrack feels a lot like Hollow Knight, and the story like Steins;Gate; I can see the inspiration. It's crazy to me that this game's 30 years old, and despite a few things, it feels very modern. The Steam port, however, could be better; it's missing the minimap, The Arena of Ages, Bestiary, and 2 cutscenes from the DS version. Some of the DS-ported content's really hard to spot without the minimap ([spoiler]Dimensional Vortex[/spoiler] secrets especially). Other than the minimap, there's no quest log, and the inventory system of this game could be much better. There's no search, or way to sort Equipment, so navigation can take longer than it should, especially later game. The DS' [spoiler]Lost Sanctum[/spoiler] quest line that was ported has too many fetch quests, especially since it's long, but also has some really cool parts like the [spoiler]Prismastone fusion, a game with an intended dupe mechanic, and it's even used in a quest[/spoiler]. Outside of the lack of a minimap, 2 other things really bug me about this port. Thankfully they were fixable with the Defilter mod in CTExt ( https://github.com/TheRealBiggs/ctext ), and the latest ChronoType font ( https://www.dafont.com/chronotype.font ). For some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, there's a bilinear filter over this game. Who in their right mind thought this was a good idea? It makes it look so much ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worse, for ♥♥♥♥'s sake; this is a pixel game. I believe that a lot of the reason people don't like the "High Definition" mode of this game is caused by this filter. Once you use the Defilter mod, the HD mode, and text look far better. CTExt also fixes the weird bug that was introduced in this port, which makes your character shake while moving diagonally. It's a strange bug, and apparently the Steam port didn't used to exhibit it, but it does now. CTExt also fixes some broken glyphs and weird font rendering by letting you use the latest version of ChronoType, very nice mod. I wish Square Enix would give this port the love it deserves.

Arguably one of the best JRPGs ever alongside FF7

[h1] Chrono Trigger the Amazing JRPG you have to try [/h1] [u] Chrono Trigger [/u] is by far my favorite [b] JRPG [/b]. I have played this in my pre-teens and teens on both [b] SNES [/b] and [b] PlayStation [/b] when it was bundled with [u] Final Fantasy IV [/u] in [u] Final Fantasy Chronicles [/u]. I love both the retro as well as the cinematics they added in both. If you are looking for an amazing story, character stories, multiple endings, and just what I call art please play this game. I hope [b] SquareEnix [/b] makes a remake or even an HD-2D Remaster of this amazing classic because I would definitely buy it again.

Despite how long this has been out it still crashes, and bugs out sometimes, so keep that in mind before purchasing. Getting it on sale helps excuse some of the issues, and at the end of the day the game itself is still great. If you like JRPG's then you won't be disappointed, and the New Game+ helps with getting all the endings and ensuring there's still plenty to do after beating it for the first time.
