Chrono Trigger
During the days of the SNES, there weren’t many RPGs that fans felt could contend with Final Fantasy, yet Square seemed to be intent on outdoing themselves. Two RPGs outside of the Final Fantasy series are already on the SNES Classic Edition (Secret of Mana and Super Mario RPG), but allow us to be a little greedy here as we ask for one of the best JRPG’s of all time: Chrono Trigger.
While many of the mechanics found in Chrono Trigger are similar to those found in their FF peers, the addition of cooperative techniques, the use of the overworld as your battle space, and time travelling made for a memorable experience. Crono’s adventure to save the world and and his friends is full of charm and deep moments that keep the emotional rollercoaster going, while providing some solid RPG action. The SNES was a great platform for these 2D adventures and we would love to see them all on the new mini-console. But, if we can only have a few, it would’ve been great to dive into Chrono Trigger with an SNES controller snugly in our hands once again.
