Admittedly I was a little skeptical entering this game, I wasn't sure it would be for me. However I was absolutely blown away by it. The writing and the atmosphere hit all the right notes for me, and the gameplay is pretty fun too! This game definitely inspires me to branch out to more JRPGs.
Please play Chrono Trigger, it's a masterpiece.

RPGs are my favorite genre of video games and Chrono Trigger is easily one of the greatest RPGs ever made. The gameplay is fantastic, the graphics are great, the time travel mechanic is wonderful, the music is amazing, etc. This game is often compared to Final Fantasy VI since it came out after and was released by the same company, Square. I personally like Final Fantasy VI more but Chrono Trigger is better in pretty much every way except the story is more basic. That aside, Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest games ever made and is certainly one of my favorites.
