Finished playing Chrono Trigger.
"Turn based games are mid" mfs when i kidnap them and force them to play this amazing game.
Chrono Trigger is a turn based JRPG where you play as the mute protagonist Crono. You travel in time with a bunch of characters you meet along the way so they can save the future and to do that they need to take down Lavos. The turn based combat is fantastic. In battles the characters have these stamina bars ig you can call them that as soon as they fill up you get to do an attack. The combat just doesn't get old because as you progress trough the main story you start unlocking more abilities and gaining new party members. The team consists of 3 characters that you can swap out whenever u want.Each character has their own unique moveset and all of them felt very useful in battle. Chrono's main weapons are katanas and he has lightning attacks. Marle's main weapons are crossbows, she has healing abilities and has ice attacks.Lucca's main weapons are guns and she has fire+bomb attacks. Frog's main weapons are swords, he has some healing abilities and water attacks. Robo's main weapons are arms, he has some healing abilities and attacks like laser spin and robo tackle. Ayla has fists and mainly physical attacks like rollo kick other than charm and kiss. Magus main weapon are scythes and he has ice, fire, lightning and shadow attacks. One of my fav parts about the combat are the dual and triples techs and its when 2 or 3 characters form one single attack that deal a high amount of damage and some of these dual techs are also used to heal ur party members. The game also has a huge enemy variety and NO RANDOM ENCOUNTERS final fantasy 6 should take notes. The bosses in this game holy flip they are amazing and i am too lazy to talk about each boss because the game has many many of them so i will talk about some of my fav ones and the very very few bad ones.My favourite bosses of Chrono Trigger would be: Flea, Magus, Mother brain, Lavos (2nd form), Lavos core, Mammon machine, Queen zeal, and i love all these bosses because they just get so many things done right like the moveset, design and arena. The only boss i would consider bad is Lavos Spawn (lame moveset, goofy ahh design and the fact that you fight it multiple times makes it even worse) and maybe rust tyrano (its basically a reskin of a previous boss) but apart from these 2 all the other bosses in the game are either good, great or amazing. As someone who really likes pixel art style i obviously tought that the game looked great especially for its age. The game has a really great story and cast of characters. Crono like i mentioned before is the mute protag. Lucca is the smart mechanic, Marle is a princess and theres apparently a scene of her getting married with Crono in the ps1 and ds version, Frog and Robo are my favourite characters, Ayla is a cave woman and finally Magus who is my 2nd fav character. Each of these characters were very likeable and they all have a unique personality and story.My fav character that isn't a part of the main cast is easily the goat Gaspar and he is a guide that helps you out. The music holy flip do i even need to say anything? Black omen, Battle with Magus, peaceful days, Last battle god the music slaps. The pacing in the game is great and none of the time periods in the game overstay their welcome. I almost have no problems with this game but one of my problems with the game is Queen Zeal yeah her boss fight was amazing but her character absolutely stinks in my opinion. So did chrono trigger dethrone Mother 3 as my favourite jrpg? Well their both amazing games so it is very difficult to decide but overall this is a nearly flawless game. 10/10
