I'm surprised you started from 1
It'll definitely make playing the later games more enjoyable though
It's not a bad one to start from, though OP did the right thing playing a modern version of it. I played through the original NES version, never again.
It's absolutely bonkers that the first game in the series, on the NES, had you kill the main villain at the beginning of the game due to time travel.
I almost started at 6 but I was really craving an old school RPG and I felt like this was the place to go! I beat Chrono Trigger earlier this year as well, it's been great but my phone's battery has not loved me.
I played 1 a few months ago (100%ed the Pixel Remaster) and was surprised how good it was. It's obviously rudimentary but that's not a really a problem because it's a short game.
I always find it to be one of the easiest to revisit. I’ve played it on NES, GBA, PSP and more recently the Pixel Remaster. It’s just a solid game all around, even if it is basic by most standards.
