Chrono Trigger - SNES, 1995

I never played it, what are everyone's thoughts on the 2018 pc version? Some reviews don't like the port?

I hear people say all the time that it is perfect. It definitely has imperfections.

However while I will insist on it being imperfect it has still been my number one favorite game for at least two decades.

It is easily the closest to perfect I think you could possibly ask for with the hardware limitations and the fact that teams don't have magical infinite time or budgets. Anyone with even a slight interest in RPGs should play it.

Plus it gave us the musical career of Yasunori Mitsuda

The SNES library of RPGs will always be peak gaming. Chrono Trigger & Earthbound fight for the top spot for me, #3 depends on the day.

PS1's rpg library is nothing to scoff at, either. Square's golden years (3 mainline final fantasy, tactics, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve and more), Suikoden, Persona, Breath of Fire 3, Valkyrie Profile.

Best JRPG of all time and I’ll die on that hill 🤣
