But, I'm still not sure how you managed to not have this game spoiled for you. It's bleeding Chrono Trigger. Thats like not knowing Aeris dies, or Samus is a woman. Some of us actually make an effort to avoid spoilers whenever we can. And I don't mean that in a condescending way; I mean we really try. I still don't know the ending to Chrono Trigger. I still wouldn't have known Aeris died were it not the the opening in the General Game Chat thread. (Thanks for that Ike.) And I didn't find out Samus was a girl until I played a smash bros melee event where I had to fight three females, and Samus was among them. There are countless games out there and we don't have time to play them all... at once. On that note, I should probably go ahead and finish Chrono Trigger. I stopped about a year ago near the end because I wanted to finish all the side quests before the final battle, but I couldn't figure them all out and somehow found myself playing other games.

I dunno, for how revered CT is, it doesn't seem to actually come up quite that often. When there's the question of best RPGs ever, sure, but not that much otherwise, especially up to spoilery territory. That might also be because of my more European point of view, where it wasn't officially released until the DS, though.

It's well known by now the name Chrono Trigger is just a bad retranslation, a typo. The big reveal is that the bad guy is actually a time-traveling tigger:

Well I played Super Metroid first. And sucked at it. So, I saw the game over bikini shot a ton. And, I owned some magazine that went over the biggest gaming spoilers ever. So Nei and Aeris have both been spoiled for me.

That has incrased the liklihood for me to go through it again. I'm a grinder, I like to get my characters in RPGs to god-tier levels earlyish on, so removing the need to do that on each run is a major plus. Frankly the strain of hunting down all of the endings in the DS version kind of ruined the game forever for me. Your characters are strong enough to just stomp all over everything, and while some battles are avoidable, most of them aren't. All typos begin with Nu and end with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! It made me so sad that they didn't leave that line intact in the DS version. It's just so endearingly earnest – right up there with Spoony Bard and Son of a Submariner.

The big reveal is that the bad guy is actually a time-traveling tigger: A black wind howls, one of you will perish soon. A woo hoo hoo In all seriousness, CT has been coming up much less it seems recently. About 10 years ago it was regarded as the best SNES RPG by the vocal minority. I maintain still that everyone should play it once. And it is the only game I say that about, where I don't have a qualifier for. It's got nothing special, but the fact that it does everything very well. It is the JRPG codified, exemplified, and perfected. It invalidates Dragon Quest by being the JRPG with every thing stripped out. That leads to the issue of it not doing things as well as other games. Battles aren't as much fun as a Tri-Ace game. It lacks the Job system of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. It has no wrinkles at all. What can make it not as perfect as far as I'm concerned. It iss a lot of fun to run through once every so often still.

I'll just say I've been really enjoying the characters and their dialogue/interactions thus far.. The graphics, music, decent enough story (so far), the little 'unnecessary' fun touches and ease of play haven't hurt my Noob opinion of it either the game has oozed quality and class... So far anyways.. Unless it takes a major dip I can see it being one of my better RPG experiences.

Save states ruin the experience....
CT is pretty generous with its save points, so there's no need to use save states.

Everyone's free to play any game however they wish, but I would like to add that Chrono Trigger is not a difficult game by any stretch of the imagination. The low difficulty is honestly one of its best selling points.

Yes, at no point you really have to level grind, with the exception maybe of the final boss, but the final sidequests and the last optional dungeon are there for just that.
