shit im playing chrono trigger right now on my phone with my backbone

Looking back, Chrono Trigger really was a perfect game. It didn't have... annoying random fights that pester you every 2 tiles you walk. From the characters, over the time zones to the bosses and the music, especially the "wind" you have in many tracks. New Game+ was awesome. 36:09 Magus was not evil. All he wanted was to bring back his sister shala. I didn't like Chrono Cross as much, though it also has very emotional moments. I think I need to go and play Chrono Trigger one more time, again. Looking at modern games, with their DEI infested cast of characters... Chrono Trigger was where it was at it's best.

Scenario, characters, weapons, secrets, enigmatic challenges, thrilling moments during the adventure. This quest has everything! A perfect game to me. 💯

It’s insane that Crono and link to the past are so good despite being a few megabytes. There are 200 gb games that aren’t able to get as much story or fun to the gamer as something like this

Best game ever !!! Literally only game I have on my phone ! I play it till this day getting everyone to lvl 99

Till this day, i haven’t played a rpg as good as chrono trigger. Earthbound comes close.

Truly beautiful

Chrono Trigger was a staple of my childhood, and i will never forget it. The music, the story, the nostalgic memories that i got from it. It's perfect.

I have to be honest -- I never really understood the claims of extreme difficulty related to Zelda 2. I think that many modern games are much harder (I often cite Ender Lilies).

enjoying the video but wow that audio at the 22nd minute was a bit much!

Chrono Trigger is the best RPG game of the 16 bit system. It probably in the top 5 for best RPG game of all time in my opinion. The sound track still gets used today in some videos I see on KZfaq here. I know Teamfour star have used it in some of DBZA episodes.

Breath of fire II Already did before Chrono trigger even existed.

My favorite game breaking combination in this game is to use the Soul of Thamasa with the spell Quick, so you get 2 turns of dual casting, but you activate Quick as the second spell on the first turn resulting in 6 total spells being cast. So the actions would look like this: Ultima-Quick, Ultima-Ultima, Ultima-Ultima...

21:06 This scene completely wrecked 12 year old me. It was the first time a game ever made me feel heavy feelings. I had to turn the game off and just think for a while...

As much as I love Chrono Trigger, I can't help but like FF6 just a little more...

14:05 I agree, the pacing of Chrono Trigger is basically perfect. By contrast, people often point out that the pacing of Chrono Cross is at the very least, flawed, if not outright bad. But, it's been theorized that during the development of the game, which was happening at the same time as Final Fantasy 8, the head of the FF8 project intentionally changed the story beat pacing of Chrono Cross so that it would not outshine FF8... Imagine if that didn't happen, and we had a better paced Chrono Cross...

Such a good game, and this was a great analysis! Subbed :)

X2 is my favorite one of the three. I find most of the levels really fun to play through. Has the best music and the double shot you get with the cannon upgrade is also the best. I'd say most of the weapons are a bit underwhelming tho but I barely use them anyway. X1 set the standard and is possibly overall a better game but feels slightly duller to me and X3 has I think the coolest bosses and a nice vibe to it but seemed like a much better game as a kid. In some instances the level design seems uninspired and very little enemy variety. Still solid tho. Anyways good video!

Hey Gaming in the AM is there any way to get in contact with you?

You could say that the evolution of Chrono Trigger’s battle system is FF7 Remake/Rebirth’s battle system.

Super Metroid is flawless+Chrono Trigger will never be surpassed...+1 subscriber!

Games didn't have an active morality system...Glances at Ultima :) I love CT just the same

Got my like just from the dedication alone. And yeah, this is the best JRPG of all time in my opinion

CT is a perfect game period. Still wondering why squareenix isn't making a remake..

Any video that acknowledges the legendary greatness of Chrono Trigger automatically gets a like. It's a masterpiece of art.

Played it several times when I was a kid. Replayed it recently as an adult. Game’s good, but has certainly been surpassed.

Sorry as a story, Cross Cross is the superior one. plus you can save Shala.

The music has so much passion and invokes beautiful emotions.

​@GamingintheAM0801 Hello. I enjoyed your video. Your thoughts Echo mine and I have lots of experience like you playing at numerous times. The final song that plays at the end is definitely one of my favorites ever since I first heard it on that SNES all those years ago. I would sometimes replay the ending just to hear that song again. Then I ordered, what was hard to come by at the time, the CDs from overseas so I could listen to the music when I wanted to. I totally understand your love and passion for it. I have only one critique of your whole video and I noticed you've been doing this for 9 years which explains why you have a natural Comfort at this point when doing the video. The speech is eloquent and precise which brings me to the critique.. overall your entire video is very family friendly but, I don't know if you even consciously know you're doing this as, I have friends I've grown up with that until it was pointed out, it never even was something they consciously noticed they were doing. The three instances of blasphemy.. instead of just saying damn it or some other substitution but invoking God prior for a very commonly heard cuss word that we have heard in our Hollywood movies and shows and even video games if they are rated anything above PG was disappointing. I know you dropped the phrase BS toward the end and that didn't even bother. Swearing in general doesn't bother me it's strictly just that particular vernacular and type of swearing and, as a gamer I appreciate it how you chose to go about describing everything I can see myself enjoying other videos but, I'm humbly making a request that just to make your video even more enjoyable across even larger audience if you would consciously make an effort to find a different cuss word? Or just stick with dammit and leave that out of it? I don't know what the perfect solution for you. When I was younger I would occasionally say Jesus as a substitute for some expletive or probably once in a blue moon he's so frustrated I would drop GD but something about it every time made the incredibly uncomfortable and the last time I remembered saying it was approximately '08 or '09. It's just felt like the only way to properly express my anger and yet immediately afterwards I felt like.. I had screwed up. And I can't live your life for you, I don't know you at all, I don't even know if I've seen other videos of yours before. But has somebody that immediately felt a connection with you and your video, and if my request is not something that it's going to immediately taken has something offensive, it would be awesome if that little alteration was something you were willing to do. And if not, obviously, I'm just one drop in an infinite sea of potential eyeballs to see your content. But I felt personally compelled for whatever reason to reach out to you with this comment. I don't typically bother, oftentimes I'll just turn the video off if I hear it repeatedly. But, I don't know, something felt a little different here and I thought it was worth that opportunity to reach out to you. Thanks for taking the time to read this, good luck and take care

Zelda 2 adventure of link also had a form of new gam +

I’m glad you mentioned the irony of Lavos being the savior of humanity. It reminds me of a conversation in Chrono Cross where the chief dwarf accuses humanity of being “unnatural” and “freaks”. Some of the demi-beings make statements about why humanity can’t live symbiotically with nature. It’s in Chrono Trigger that you realize humanity was never meant to survive and that Earth (highly implied to be sapient) planned for the Reptites to inherit the planet. Consider that Earth goes through an ice age. Lavos is blamed but I think that it was actually Earth trying to kill humanity but is, again, thwarted by Lavos. Consider that the Earth warms up after the Ocean Palace arc and Lavos premature awakening. This time, Lavos deliberately intervenes and saves humanity once again because Lavos has a purpose for humanity. The people of Zeal revered Lavos like a god and for greater reason than just granting them magic. Lavos is their (humanity’s) savior even if the Zealians themselves don’t know it. Humans capable of magic are an anathema to Earth since humanity’s ability to use magic is because of Lavos. An abomination that combines Earth’s rejected species now infused by this parasitic alien. In part, humans are an extension of Lavos and whose behavior and exploitation of the planet for greed all reflect this. The Chrono series truly is a marvelous fiction.

Great video, you could fix the audio a little bit.

Oh my god you're totally right, Robo Rick-rolled us in the past/future and I can't handle this. !! This was a fantastic video, thanks so much for making it! I sadly hadn't realized that about Schala and Magus' theme, that is so amazing.

Just the best game ever

Still have my falling apart copy of this, the night I bought it at a Toys R Us remains clear in my memories.

THIS GAME IS MORE THAN PEOPLE TALK ABOUT

I hate it for one reason. The ridiculous timing action puzzles. This has no place in an RPG.

The Thumbnail: "How Chrono Trigger Created Perfection". Me: "Except that it really did not, though".

Dying for a new Ristar remake or new game! Would love Tee Lopes on the soundtrack and the team behind Streets of Rage 4 on it!

Yamcha, Puar, Oolong, Tien Shinhan, Chaotzu, Piccolo Jr, Vegeta, Buu. There’s a few more bad to good arcs than just four. Dragonball is all about redemption through kind patience and strong rivalry. EDIT: Nice video, BTW! 😁 Chrono Trigger is absolutely one of my favorite games. The attention to detail is astronomical. Everything has a purpose and everyone has a story to tell!

As far as I’m concerned, RPG’s peaked with this game.

I've really only gotten to the music section so far but I wanted to thank you for pronouncing Schala's name correctly. I'm not sure why people take sch and turn it into sk when those letter sounds do not make a hard K sound and it bugs me to no end.

Chrono Trigger is the greatest game of all time ever

I love this game ... But perfect--no. The load for battles is SLOW! Love this game--love it!

I always cringe when I hear RyeStar, instead of WristStar or ReeStar. Now if we can settle the hydrawcity debate!

Great video!

chrono cross is another masterpiece!

Whats the name of the song that starts at 3:55?

I learned English because of this game

My first thought of the flaws of Chrono Trigger stem solely from the ports of the game on anything other than the original SNES version, examples include the PSone's long load times where you're waiting up to 5-6 seconds of black screen between menus... the only other port for the longest time was the DS port, and I don't have any real gripes with that one, it's great, but it's not quite pixel perfect, so the misaligned pixels don't work for me, it always bugged me, but then again, it's from the SNES generation, pixel perfect was not the intended aspect ratio to begin with... other than that thought, for the longest time it wasn't on anything else, so the game was unfortunately not very accessible... I just wish they remade Chrono Trigger in the same way they remade Final Fantasy IV or something... then in more recent years we finally got another port, but it was a god awful Android port, which eventually made it's way onto Steam, and due to mismanagement, it launched as is with all the awful changes present in the Android port... they did eventually address and fix the issues, and the PC version of the game is now one of the best available, but it's a disgrace that the PC port of this legendary of a title was released in this terrible of a state in the first place... I'll never understand it... and as it stands, the PC port is still just the 2D version of the game anyway, so the best way to play this game is still pretty much the same as if you booted up an emulator and played the original... :/ Unfortunately, the original is not the version many people opt to play, as the DS version added new content that you would otherwise be missing out on, so the DS or PC ports are still the best versions to play in many people's opinions... we'll just take what we can get I suppose~ :/ This game is criminally underrated by Square Enix, it's bizarre how this game has flown under the radar for so long and how they refuse to really do anything with it... with the new Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake coming out though, I feel like Toriyama's art style works very well with that type of remake, so I'm holding out hope that the Octopath team tackles this legendary title as well~ :9
