This game is amazing, I've never played anything like it, from the awesome visuals to the amazing sound and music, this is a game that every RPG fan needs to play. If you have never played an RPG, let this game introduce you to the genre, you will not be disappointed.
Graphics: 10. This games graphics are awesome, the detail put into the attacks, the magic, and how impressive the sprites are, I wouldn't say it's the best looking game on the snes, but its up there in the top 5, heck, top 3. It's not even the graphics themselves, its the design and how smooth the animations look, I love how every character looks and moves, of course not EVERYTHING is super detailed and stuff, but for an snes game, trust me this game looks beautiful. Overall this games graphics gets a 10.
Sound: 10. The music is beautiful, emotional, and epic, you have everything from rock to orchestra. The world map music is one of my favorites, the battle music is perfect, and I never got sick of them lapping a few times, I never turned down my speaker or tried to turn off the music from the settings, it is a joy to my ears. The sound effects well they are good, nothing really stuck out but they fit the game and when you swing your sword it makes that SHING sound or whatever lol but the sound effects sound realistic and they do the job and for me were never annoying. Overall the sound gets a another perfect 10.
Addictiveness: 10: This game is huge, secret areas, multiple endings, and so so much more. I still haven't beaten this game and I know after I do, I'm going to replay it for all the endings. The battle system is innovative and fun, grinding is a joy and not a chore, I honestly never was never bored when playing this game, and I wanted to keep going to going to see how the story evolves, and I still have yet to see how it ends, and I'm exited for that day to come. Overall, another perfect 10.
Story: 9. Like I said, I still haven't beaten the game yet, but so far, the story is awesome, very few games can do a time travel story without screwing it up, ya know, like sonic 06, remember the terrible story in that game? Well Chrono Trigger does this without breaking a sweat. I'm not going to spoil anything so I'm just going to leave it at this, the story is one of the reasons you play the game and has some awesome twists. Breaking the perfect ten streak is the story, I haven't beaten this game yet so don't judge to much about it not getting a 10 if you think it deserved one. Overall 9
Depth: 9. I already said this but this game is pretty big, sporting about 13 endings or more, and I'm going to replay this game for all of them, not much more to say there are secrets lots of characters and this game will take a long time to complete, I haven't beaten the story yet and I have already put in about 30 hours, by just grinding cause its so much fun and talking to people in the game and exploring the many different eras you get to visit, it doesn't get a 10 because I do wish there were a few more side quests, cause there really isn't any that I know of, but lots of weapons, magic, and combat moves to unlock, this is a game that you can put several hours into and not get bored. Oh yeah there is also this monster arena thing but don't play it, trust me it's stupid lol. Overall 9.
Difficulty: 5. This is one of the easiest RPG games I have ever played, actually one of its problems is that it doesn't put up much of a challenge, or maybe I was just grinding to much lol. I always knew where to go the game was clear on that, I never ran away from a battle cause I love battling, but then again because its easy you can focus on the story and characters and its just a great game to pick up and play and enjoy. Overall 5.
This game is incredible and one you won't soon forget, and if you missed it on the snes pick up the remake on the ds, with extra animated movies and other goodies that you can turn off and just play the with the original settings. It was also paired with FF 4 ( or 2 ) on the ps1 called Final Fantasy Chronicles, so pick it up on that if you want! On the ds, snes or ps1 Chrono Trigger is a game you will not soon forget, and one that I highly recommend for anyone, even if you don't like rpgs, play it for the story and experience. This was my first review, hope you enjoyed, and I will be doing more reviews in the future. Until next time! Overall game score: 10.
