Retrospective Chrono Trigger Review Critique KingK

[KingKlonoa]

I feel like this "Magus can actually use Triple Techs" point is gonna become my new "you can use a deku stick to open the shortcut" that plagued my OoT comments section.

Yes, I know. You can attach an equippable to him for a few triple techs. He can't learn it by level up, though, like the others. I'd actually say the fact that he can't learn them naturally is even more telling. He can't even come up with a strategy naturally, he needs an item to get it done, thus separating him from the group dynamic even more.

You barely even touched on the killer soundtrack or the sprite art that still holds up. The aesthetics are top notch.

"21 year old man"


Oh jesus I didn't realize KingK was actually PrinceK

[devilskind]

I'm 100% convinced KingK did some black magic shit and stole the voice of a man in his mid 30s, cause there's NO WAY this voice belongs to a 21 year-old.

To give you an idea of how good this game is.
When i played it as a kid back in the 90s, i barely knew any english, so i played it with a spanish/english dictionary to translate what i didnt know while playing it.

It basically helped me and motivated me to learn a new language all by myself.

This is why i still consider it my fav rpg of all time.

Chrono trigger was so ahead of its time that sometimes i feel we haven't even reached that time yet...
Where most rpgs procedurally generate their battle by creating enemy types and then programing random encounters. Chrono trigger chooses to program EACH AND EVERY battle individually, most of them with unique animations and a unique location to battle in. Where a lot of rpgs seem to use their battle systems as a way to lenghten their game by working less on their battles and more on their story, chrono trigger instead refines every single aspect of the experience, every hour feels masterfully crafted for player enjoyment and i simply don't feel that in any other rpg

Still remember spending 5 hrs in the forest in the beginning to buy the 4000 g sword from melchoir at the milennial fair. Nostalgia.

Anyone else just learn that they are older than this guy?

[ThatOneRandomGuy-rz]

When you realize a game is so far ahead of it's time that you start to question whether or not the developers used a time machine to travel forward in time to see such ideas from a future filled with 16-bit games.


a second....
*notices that 16-bit game are on the rise lately*


....I think we are getting close.

[egebamyasi]

I agree, Chrono Trigger is the closest we'll get to a flawless game that also strives to be something amazing.
It's really really hard to find any flaws that might ruin someones enjoyment. It's balanced, well-paced and pretty much THE JRPG everyone should play atleast once

My wife goes through a Chrono Trigger addictive phase every 3 years. I love it because I dont see her at all for a few days and i order pizza and KFC for the kids. Then she comes home smelling like CK pour Homme.

One point that was not brought up in the video: Chrono Trigger is the first/only RPG I’ve played where there is an actual story reason for limiting the party size! Every other RPG has an arbitrary party size limit with no explanation, but Gaspar explains at the End of Time that any time 4 or more players travel through a time gate they will be sent to the End of Time.

[VibinWithBrian]

I have played Chrono Trigger four times and I never realized you could just wait around for Lucca to bust you out of prison! Holy crap!

Chrono Trigger - when you can play an old JRPG without the need for nostalgia goggles.

[mafty_x]

Me last week: nice I just got Chrono trigger on the ds
me today: wow a new king k vid
also me: but spoilers tho

[flappy]

Chrono Trigger's music is the most beautiful nostalgia imaginable.
for me, it washes over me and sweeps me away, back to the happiest days of my childhood (and my life)

"Like a clock without hands, Chrono Trigger... is timeless."

This is some triple-A content, my dude.

I'm a grown-ass man in my mid-thirties and this moment from a 20+ year old SNES game still gives me goosebumps

[Jebbtube]

It's refreshing to hear a younger perspective on a classic nostalgic title.
Like many others who love this game, I grew up in the 16-bit era, so I'm a tad biased on my view of it and many others.
Hearing someone who isn't burdened with that nostalgia, and who can view it with unbiased eyes, and still praise it, is a joy to behold.
