Absolute best 16 bit RPG and I think the first RPG I ever played. I love the SNES Final Fantasies but they clearly couldn't quite keep up with the 2D games graphics wise as they always looked kind of basic and unpolished (just look at those ugly character portraits). Chrono Trigger on the other hand perfected what those games should have looked like, giving you not just sprites on a top-down surface but a feeling of actual fantasy and wonder. I just started and haven't even gone to the fair cause I want to do a bit of grinding for equipment while drinking in the wistful, melancholic atmosphere that feels like someone died a long time ago and the land never stopped being sad.
