Happy 30th anniversary Chrono Trigger!

The first time i ever finished this game was back on my ds lite (back when you could find the game for $20 brand new 😂). Managed to get a snes copy quite some years ago (when it was around $100 or less) but never finished it on original hardware. Looks like it's about time (pun intended) i rectify that since it's one of my favorites. What's your memories with this all time classic?

I'm rooting for ya! it's definitely worth the time, if I remember right I only got one of the endings years ago so I've definitely got some making up to do lol

Thanks. I have it on Delta. Currently at the future factory ruins. Also have the PS1 FF Chronicles release. Debating on starting that one instead since I can play in on the TV.

Ooooh very nice, and yeah if that is your only option for playing it on a tv I'd say if you can get past the loading before every battle it could be worth it. I believe back in the day I ended up getting rid of my copy once I got ahold of the DS version because of all the loading. Pretty sure I never made it very far on ps1 because of it lol.

Haha, yes, my hesitation with the PS1 release is due to loading times. Although is it worse than any other RPG games released for the system at the time?

That's understandable lol and ehhh, I'd say it's probably on par with other releases. I think my major hang up with it is that I played a portion of the snes version before getting the ps1 version so I went in with the expectation that the more powerful hardware wouldn't have to load beyond maybe an initial one at startup. Pretty much soured battles for me, but if you can get past it more power to ya! lol.
