I got this game cause it was free on PS catalogue… and because the completionist hyped it up… ummm… I guess he didn’t lie about this game being good! Too bad he lied about stealing money tho! I wonder how the developers will remove the constructionist….
Anyway. Wow what a fun game. This was genuinely a surprise hit for me. I never really played Chrono Trigger, but playing this made me get it. The world, the music, the appealing pixel art, the epic fantasy story in an actual unique setting and not just fantasy world with demon king number 16264738.
The two main characters are whatever. They’re like self inserts. Trained to he heroes. But the other characters in your party are actually good (except the last one but I get that we needed another one to make the party stronger after story beats).
I grew to care about Garl and other spoilers a lot! And the story had plot twists that actually GOT ME. Like, stuff that I genuinely was not expecting at all happened!
The big negative I have is the true ending. The game is not long and it does not require grinding at all. By the endgame, I was fully capable of defeating the hardest optional bosses normally (they were difficult, as they should be since they are hidden bosses, but doable) and I didn’t grind for XP once! You grow naturally!
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that you can do pretty much everything this hame has to offer without having to waste obscene amounts of time with stupid shit.
There is something that happens at the end of the game, where it asks you to do everything in order to achieve the true ending… the thing is, I had done 7/8 of the activities because the game was so fun and engaging. The last thing though… pissed me off. I was supposed to collect 40 more secret hidden items around the whole fucking world of the game. I was 37 hours into the game when I discovered this. I said fuck it and stopped playing, and watched the ending on YouTube. It is such a shame such a good ending is locked behind shitty item collecting. The other 7 things made sense, it was actual important side missions and character stories that could be missed. But really? Hidden items? I hated that.
Anyway, rant over. This game is great and worth playing. It just pissed me off
