    Solid piece of art with great artwork done by Toriyama and one of best SNES-era music.

    one of the best RPGs of ALL time. If not, THE best. It's a great DS port of the original with a few newly added additions that is definitely worth the experience and price tag all over again.

    This is one, if not the greatest RPG of all time. I have now idea why anyone would give it less than a 10. The story is amazing, the music is fantastic.

    An essence of JRPG along with FF6, FF7, FFX. Those four are just untouchable JRPG masterpieces.

    No es que no se disfrute, pero le vendría tan bien un remake... Sería histórico.

    This game is the first rpg that I managed to complete 100%, being a very charming and amazing experience. I grew attached to the characters as the story progressed, their gameplay was revolutionary for the time and still very unique at its core.

The version of "Nintendo DS" is the maximum display of affection for the franchise, it is the one that further expands and embellishes its beautiful popularity, the best version to play the game and fall in love with the title.… Expand

    The best game I've ever played. The characters are super charismatic making them memorable, the visuals and the graphics combine a lot with the context of the narrative, the soundtrack has aged very well and especially the main story, with time travel at all times make the game itself a very interesting and exciting.

    This game is a complete work of art! It didn't do anything wrong at all. Captivating characters, intriguing story, beautifully crafted mechanics, and not to mention the music. Chrono Trigger is definitely one of my favorite games, and I will cherish every ending I get.

    Una obra maestra, uno pensaría que al ser un remake bajaría la calidad a comparación del producto original. Es una joya que todo amante de los RPGs debería probar por lo menos una vez.

    The music, the art, the story, the characters, the gameplay, 9.99999. That's for the ORIGINAL game and the PS1 with the nice FMVs. But the new area in later versions is really disappointing and extremely boring/mediocre. Don't waste your time on that. You're welcome.

    Often cited as the greatest JPRG ever made, Chrono Trigger is one of those rare instances where that level of praise is justified.

Made up of a "dream team" comprised of the creators of both Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger offers a fantastic story, amazing soundtrack, and one of the best turn-based battle systems in any RPG. Though, the real stars are its time-traveling mechanic, as well as the origin of New Game+ mode -- allowing players to replay the game as many times as they wish with carry over stats and equipment, as well giving them a chance to discover a multitude of different endings.

    Furthermore, while the story may not be quite as deep or intricate as the best of the Final Fantasy, Persona, or Xeno franchises, Chrono Trigger's narrative is executed to perfection -- offering loads of charm and wit, twist and turns, and wonderful characterization from beginning to end.

    To this day, Chrono Trigger remains a truly special game.    … Expand

    A classic way ahead of its time. Likeable characters, one of the best stories ever and arguably the best turn based mechanics of all time. The art still holds up. One of the best rpgs of all time

    Primeiro RPG da história com finais diferentes, feito pelo time dos sonhos, este jogo tinha que ter remake/remastered para PS5 com certeza, e quase que uma obra perfeita este game.

    One of the greatest RPGs of all time, with a couple of little bonuses along the way exclusive to the DS port. Its arguably the best version, and best way to play the game overall. Beautiful, just beautiful.

    I don't know where to start from the story to the character development and the soundtrack, everything in this game is perfect. This in my opinion is the best game ever, its a timeless classic. I would rate this higher, but a 10 is the max.

    Chrono Trigger é  um rpg excelente. Seu charme principal, na minha opinião, é o sistema de skills que estimula o jogador a trocar periodicamente de personagem, a fim de aprender novas skills. A dificuldade do jogo está no ponto ideal, pois permite o jogador moldar estratégias durante a batalha, antes da morte. A história é ótima. A duração é ótima.

O fluxo da história é tranquilo, e as batalhas são rápidas. Durante o jogo, enquanto o jogador precisa seguir a história conversando e batalhando, deve se preocupar com skills e novos itens. Existem baús  escondidos pelo universo do jogo. Repetir eventos é um ponto negativo, e  Chrono Trigger erra nisso quando acrescenta uma nova sidequest na versão do DS. Esta sidequest é muito repetitiva. Não acrescentou nada no jogo, só estragou um pouco a experiência.
    O humor de um jogo pode torná-lo mais atraente. No caso de Chrono Trigger o humor é forte nas raras ocasiões que aplicado. Senti falta de mais minigames no jogo.    … Expand

    Still an absolute classic on every level. One of the first games that displayed video games can be works of classic art. Soundtrack is still one of the greatest ever, excellent art style, engaging story and adventure. A must play for fans of the JRPG genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only thing this game lacks is the hero's story. He doesn't really have one : he's a swordsman whose friend is Lucca.
    Apart of that, I've never seen a game so perfectly done. It just hasn't bad points. It's just the best JRPG ever made.    … Expand

    Despite my criticisms, Chrono Trigger is an amazing adventure and a required purchase for ardent fans and anyone who's never played the game before. [Holiday 2008, p.82]

    The game is virtually unchanged in its core, having a new script re-write, but retaining the visuals, music, character designs, interface styles, and options of the source material. At the same time, Square Enix also ensures that this is the definitive version of Chrono Trigger out there, as the game comes complete with every option you could ever want for touch vs. button control, two or single screen display, or game pacing and difficulty.
