What went so right with Chrono Trigger?
>>12594362Do the Japanese care as much for Chorno Trigger? It seems way overhyped by Americans that had it aa their first jrpg
>>12594367>No one cared about Chrono Trigger! It flopped! Cross sold more!>Actually Americans only like it because it was their first RPG!You Snoys are deranged
Masato Kato is the unsung hero behind CT. Even though his games afterward were disasters, it was his vision that gave CT the SOVL and the unique and streamlined combat system that set it apart from FF and DQ games. He's also responsible for all the cats.

>>12594367>The game was a best-seller in Japan,[143] where two million copies were sold in only two months.[144] It ended the year as the second best-selling game of 1995 in Japan, below Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation.[145] >By March 2003, the game's SNES and PS1 iterations had shipped 2.65 million copies worldwide, including 2.36 million in Japan and 290,000 abroad.[149]>Chrono Trigger DS sold 790,000 copies worldwide, as of March 2009, including 490,000 in Japan, 240,000 in North America and 60,000 in Europe.[151]
>>12594381CT also benefited from Motomu Toriyama (of all people) putting in good work before he went insane with Bahamut Lagoon and basically everything else he touched afterward.
>>12594378It really is amazing how much CT pisses people off. I wonder if it's really just Crossfags and that their childhood favorite is seen as lesser compared to some game they don't care about.
All it took to make Dragon Quest be enjoyed in America was no grinding, crazier story, and being able to see your characters on the field.
>>12594378Snoys have chrono trigger too though, and it's sequel. It actually does just suck.
>>12594420Some highfalutin American weeaboos seem to like to tout the idea that certain "pleb" anime stuff, like DragonBall, aren't actually popular in Japan, for some reason.
>>12594362This is AI isn't it
>>12594362>What went so right with Chrono Trigger?The graphics were primitive enough so the sameface Toriyama garbage wasn't so obvious in the sprites
>>12596867Right is betterLeft looks gay
>>12596870true!
>>12594381looks a little like Katsumi Aoshima or Kenichi SOnoda early character designs
