>All time travel stories from like HG Wells are a cautionary tales about how the past shapes the future>Chrono Trigger comes along and does something new and original, it inverts the cliche by being about how even if thr future seems hopeless it can be changed>This piece of shit comes out>"By the way Chrono Trigger was a cautionary tale about influencing the future after all lol, aren't I clever"It also has bad combat, fuck you.
>>738943293>seems hopelessLmao no. Chrono Trigger is way too goofy with its time Shenanigans that there is no risk at all. As soon as the party finds out about Lavos, they immediately work towards the future without self doubts.>This guy is greedy and won't give me the Sun Stone.>I'm going to hop on my ship to the past, and teach his ancestors the meaning of Christmas.>I just altered someone's life for personal gain.There are 0 consequences.
>>738943939except of course the entire lesson of the game about the fall of zeal and how magus didn't learn from it and still thought he could summon lavos and kill it by himself
>>738943939>oh no people who can time travel at will are time travelling help this isn't good enough someone help
>>738943939Masato Kato detected. You aren't clever for noticing that time travel can have conseequences.
>>738943293Masato Kato himself said it doesn't make sense but just to "enjoy the ride".
>>738943293Cross > Trigger. Fight me.
>>738946898This is basically square enix's entire schtick in a nutshell, and it was already showing with their PS1 output when they were still Square Inc.
>>738946934
>>738946934as much as I want to like chrono cross that simply isn't true, it's 99% filler garbage and nothing you do matters
>>738945546To be fair he lifted a lit from when he was a child.
>>738947082>lifted a lit?
>>738943293It has the worst battle theme Square has ever published. The worst/funniest part is that they tease you with one that's actually decent in the first level, but then are like, "Hahah jk that's a boss theme, have this piece of shit for the next 40 hours."https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FxUzE_Bizw
>>738943939>Chrono Trigger is way too goofy with its time Shenanigans that there is no risk at all.Chrono Trigger triggered my chronophobia and I had to stop playing after I finished the first trip to the future level.

>>738943293I like Trigger, but Cross holds a special place in my vidya adolescence. Sorry you didn't like it.
>>738947021nta, but I like Chrono Cross for its summer aesthetics and its great music. Gameplay wise it was okay but the long battle animations were making the fights tedious, and I remember jack shit from its plot
>>738947731right. I too like the aesthetic and the music but the game itself is pretty fucking boring
>>738947310How in the world did Mitsuda decide on this >>738947583 (proper visual to substitute for my inability to articulate on how unpleasant this song is to listen to) among a sea of absolute heavenly themes?
>>738943293>It also has bad combat, fuck you.I'll never understand the modern CT wanking over the combat when it was on the middling point of the spectrum for other jrpgs at the time.PSX/PS2 had some stellar turn based creativity and none of it stuck.
