    Chrono Trigger is one of the most charming, endearing, and most fun role playing games I have ever had the pleasure of playing.

    Easily one of the best video games I've played in the recent past, and I've played quite a few of them. Whether or not you're a fan of consoled-based role-playing games, you owe it to yourself to try this one; it might just change your opinion of them.

    Chrono Trigger rightfully climbs to the olymp of roleplaying games. Charming graphics, great story and a neat combat system make this classic an instant hit on the NDS!

    Chrono Trigger DS is a remake done right, and both longtime fans and new players should pick it up.

    One of the best roleplaying adventures ever made is revived for the Nintendo DS, and it's as fantastic as it ever was. Despite being 14 years old this game still manages to wipe the floor with most games released in it's wake. Design, script, sound, characters, the time traveling mechanic and a number of other features are simply so ingenious that more than a decade of subsequent games has seen few titles to rival this experience.

    Chrono Trigger is worth travelling back in time for again and again.

Posso falar que CT é o melhor jogo para alguém que nunca entrou em um RPG começar a apreciar histórias de heróis que salvam o mundo de ser destruído usando a estratégia do jogador nos combates.

    Técnicas Duplas e Triplas, o sonho de ver elas novamente em outros RPGs, a possibilidade de viajar no tempo e mudar os acontecimentos.

    Além dos eventos obrigatórios para terminar o jogo, existem as side-quests opcionais que dão novos itens, acrescentam histórias aos personagens e geram os diferentes finais.
