Chrono Trigger Review-"A Timeless Classic"

User Rating: 10 | Chrono Trigger DS

Chrono Trigger,the masterpiece RPG released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System(SNES).During the Genesis vs SNES Console War one genre the SNES dominated on was the JRPG genre.Before its old console release gets you it has been re-released on the PS1,DS,PSN,Virtual Console.This game was developed by Squaresoft by the "Dream Team" consisting of Final Fantasy Creator Hironobu Sakaguchi,Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii and famed manga artist Akira Toriyama(well-known for his work on the Dragon Ball Series).The game is,like I mentioned,an absolute masterpiece.It has a great cast of characters,the plot twists really get you,the story is brilliant,the atmosphere fits,great Active-Time Based JRPG battle system,the music is just beautiful and did I mention the 13 different endings?The game and its story are centered around time-travel.I will go on without trying to spoil the story. I will be referring to the main protagonist as Chrono for this time.Sorry if my review is a bit off its my first one

One day,Chrono wakes up from sleeping to find out that the Millenial Fair,a fair taking place every 1000 years,has already started.He was supposed to be there for his friends,Lucca,unveiling of her new invention.He goes down and says his ehem "goodbyes" to his mom and goes for the fair. In the fair he bumps into a girl and helps her up and retrieves her pendant.She reveals her name to be Marle *cough* *cough* sorry I had to do that for a second.She goes with him throughout the fair. Going off topic for a second, at the fair there are plenty of minigames for you to play and you can snag some EXP here.He goes to see the new invention and it turns out the machine was a teleporter. He tries it out first and its fine.But when Marle uses it a portal opens.She is sucked in through the portal.She had been taken on a journey through time.Chrono tries to be the hero and goes off to rescue the-sorry I mean Marle. Lucca then follows him through the portal and their adventure through time begins. However during their quest they meet new friends,fight various fiends,find out horrible secrets,and decide to do something about it,can they become "Heroes of Time"? Well play the game and find out

Seriously this game is a masterpiece,I mean it is really a "Timeless" game *COUGH* sorry.Well this game is the absolute high-point,the pinnacle of Fantastic JRPGs, If it was possible I'd give the game a 11/10 but that isn't logical, is it? This game gets a perfect 10/10 score. I am proud to call this 'Epic Adventure through Time' my favorite game of all time.This review is for all versions but the one I played is the DS one.
