Final Fantasy 6 or ChronoTrigger for best SNES rpg?

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE FROM THE TWO

Which of the two would you consider best SNES Jrpg? Since FF6 seemed to be people choice for best rpg in another thread regarding it, and Chrono Trigger is all over top lists, I thought I would ask.

In my opinion, I would have to give it to Chrono Trigger. It had a slow start, but then kept steady with some drops, but it kept throwing things at you to keep you glued, you might think it was good, maybe great, but then you stop thinking once you get to the dark ages. right before it and every point affter, I doubt think you can't deny best jrpg on the snes. To bad we could never go to that island below the black bird before dark omen killed the floating islands. Chrono trigger also has a lot more choice based quests, and removing random battle really did it for me. I am even replaying it now. I really like that fake court system thing as well after the first chunk of the game.

I think both games have great soundtracks, but chrono triggers got better and better, and once you got to the dark ages, forget about it, no comparison, chrono trigger wins. I also remember more of the game, I forgot large chunkcs of FF6 during and after the game, it seemed less memorable, not only that, but Chrono Trigger held my interest longer.

One more point I would like to mention is that the battle systems cannot be compared. Chrono Trigger has a much more fluid battle system, with a lot more options, although you can't actually run from battle, you have a large variety of skills and double and triple attacks. Which even enemies use at times.

Chrono Trigger

I'm not even 100% sure that I like Final Fantasy VI more than Final Fantasy IV.....
.....its partially nostalgiac reasons, but Cecil, Kain, Rosa, Rydia, Edge & Co might be my favorite.

between Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger, my fave of the 3 is usually just whichever one I've played most recently :lol:

If we're including the "nostalgia factor".....I honestly think I'd do with Final Fantasy IV over both of your choices; it just has my soul from the SNES days

I think that dark knight was the dark knight from two.

That's a really tough choice, but I'd have to say Chrono Trigger by a hair

well, for me, nostalgia = fun at this point for SNES games (bsically, nostalgia gives me a reason to play/enjoy again)

but yes, you're thinking of the right game with Cecil going from Dark Knight to Paladin, etc.

Alot of people prefer FF6, and I understand why, but FF4 might take it for me personally.

Both games are masterpieces in their own way. Both have masterful soundtracks and intuitive battle systems. Final Fantasy VI tackles themes that to this day have not really been seen again in any memorable way in other video games. But Chrono Trigger top to bottom is just a nearly flawless gaming experience, just a bundle of pure joy transferred through the video game medium. It doesn't have the most demanding story or the most challenging gameplay, but the world it creates is just mesmerizing in a way that I personally have never felt has been duplicated, at least not to my satisfaction.

Chrono Trigger, probably my favorite RPG ever

They are really close, but I have to give it to Chrono Trigger. It is more polished in pretty much every aspect and I find the combat to be a little funner. FF6 still has the best RPG cast I've ever experienced tho.

Both are excellent RPGs in their own right.

But Chrono Trigger is, hands-down, the best RPG on the system. Best RPG ever, actually.

Easily Chrono Trigger

"Trigger" by a country mile.

Chrono Trigger has to win. Its unfair really, FFVI was the pre cursor, it created the framework and the teams that made Chrono Trigger possible but the Chrono Trigger was the realization of all of the potential of FFVI. FFVI is still one of the greatest 16bit RPG's of all time but that is all. Chrono Trigger with its dozen endings and logical time travel consequence engine is one of the greatest games of all time bar none!

ChronoTrigger was very good at the time, but Final Fantasy 6 was epic. FF6 got me into turn based RPG's. I had Dragon Warrior 3 on the NES before that, but I couldn't really get into it...

Necro'd thread

Chrono Trigger has the better gameplay, graphics, and soundtrack.

Final Fantasy VI has the better story.

EarthBound.... but since I have to choose one of those two, then Chrono Trigger.

Chrono Trigger would win that battle easily.

What if you do not like both that much?

then there really isn't any point for that individual to be in this thread.

Hardest choice ever. But I have to go with Chrono Trigger.

Oh Goddamnit. This is an incredibly tough choice. Hm. I guess I'd have to go with Chrono Trigger simply because it has more replayability and whatnot. but they are both classics IMO.

Chrono Trigger Hands Down!!!

My pick for best SNES RPG would have to be Secret of Mana. That had one of the best combat systems I ever played, even to this day.

@lordhagan: I hope you are aware that you cannot bump old threads.

Have to go with FF6, Chrono Trigger is pretty overrated.

FF6, but god damnit chrono trigger is so good too.

Earthbound hands down... but between those two, chrono trigger

Thread locked.

Please do not bump old topics in the future please. Thank you.
