RetroGaming

I played this on DS in college about a decade ago. To this day it's one of the very few JRPGs that I feel absolutely nailed the pacing. Every other JRPG, as much as I enjoy the genre overall can really drag in that department and start feeling tedious at certain points in the game.

I beat it for the first time over the pandemic and was totally blown away, instantly one of my favorite games of all time.

The soundtrack is fucking amazing, there's the youTube channel Lavos with endless mixes of it. Corridors of time never gets old.

I just started playing it yesterday. I’m still at that fair with the bell. Btw, are there any romantic plot lines in the story? I’m asking because I named one girl after my wife and one after my daughter. I don’t want things to get awkward later on

I wish these were just a little bit bigger.

I'n not a huge fan of CT+ compared to vanilla. The writing for the new content just doesn't hold a candle to vanilla IMO.

Agreed. I got it on Android during Covid and couldn't put it down. The game has held up well. I was in a retro jrpg kick for a bit and also picked up Dragon Quest V and felt that DQV didn't age well.

My son recently started playing, and I realised I only knew the names of half the characters, because I changed their names to my high-school friends.

It stands as one of my five favourite games of all time, and I'm an FPS-focused person.

Years ago, I tried to max out everybody's stats by New Game+ing over and over to collect the 10 or so Tabs you find across the entire game to increase stats by one point at a time. I was not successful. I think I made it through three or four NG+ cycles, though.

I am just about to talk with Frog after the first boss. It's my first time playing the game and having a blast!

I have never been able to get past Giga Gaia without cheating...

Damn, you're making me want to take my DS version out and start playing again. When I emulated it, I was at a point where I had unlocked every ending and beat Spekio in his final form.

During quarantine I got to ozzys castle, but I think flea handed me my ass.

Need to go back, I'm way underleveled and undergeared, I was just being very casual and it was on my phone. That being said it's one of the few games that has its potentially best release on phones, though I used a controller which helped.

I really want a retroid pocket or similar retro handheld console

Never played that, is that like a mod? Can I run it on an emulator or PC version? Would like to play on my Steam Deck

Has Chrono Trigger+ gotten consistent updates? Remember it being quite unpolished back when I tried it out.

Agreed. I got it on Android during Covid and couldn't put it down. The game has held up well. I was in a retro jrpg kick for a bit and also picked up Dragon Quest V and felt that DQV didn't age well.

Once you finish it, be sure to go back and do a New Game+. There are 13 different endings you can get as a result. There are a few guides you can search for but the nice thing is you can do them all in one NG+ run if you do them in order, they all depend on where in the story you are when you go to fight Lavos. Have fun!

Oh hey, I just finished Chrono Trigger for the first time on Saturday! I bought a DSi on eBay and this was one of the games I wanted to play the most on it. Cheers!

I was playing on an emulator many years ago as a teenager and I had done nearly everything except fight Lavos. There was a thunderstorm outside, and wouldn’t you know it, it killed the power and corrupted my save file. I’ve start over once or twice, but I still to this day have not actually beat the game. 😞

I guess all I HAVE to do still is get through the Black Omen. I was trying to knock out all the side quests, but it got to that point where it was more a chore than fun. Haven't touched the game in weeks. Maybe I'll wrap it up this weekend.
