It's kind of a shame that this didn't turn into a full-fledged series. It just got one controversial sequel a few years later, and that's it.

best jrpg on the snes period

ffvi is good and all but the story is meh for the most part

sure the espers are cool and all but i don't think we ever sall all that magitek stuff do anything

and the beginning felt silly and boring]

it gets better later on when you see kefka but its not THAT good

i think the story of ffvii is better only because of how its fleshed out in crisis core and stuff

https://legendsoflocalization.com/final-fantasy-iv-secret-of-mana-and-chrono-trigger-had-a-connection/

tl;dr: Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, and Secret of Mana were all sort of like one giant super game born from the time when Square was bursting with talent, so even if it did become a series, it's anyone's guess as to whether or not it'd be particularly any good: see also, the entire Mana series beyond Legend of Mana, which was already controversial enough

It would've been hard enough to write one title without self-contradicting to a ridiculous extent, given the nature of the story. Expanding the franchise simply wouldn't've worked.

A big part of what I loved about FFVI was how the world just outright gets destroyed halfway through the game and scatters everyone about, and everyone just kinda has to deal with the apocalypse

So in a way, Final Fantasy VI feels more like Fallout than Final Fantasy to me, and I like that series a lot better these days anyway

the worst part of chrono trigger was the beginning

sure, lucca has her experimental machine, but it seemed so sudden that there's a portal and the hype music is wasted in a scene with little build up, at least for me

if they had a bit more hints like the necklace(was there a necklace i remember there being one but i forgot) flashing more or something as a warning or whatever i'd buy it but it felt really forced

however after that rough start the story was 10/10

We had to wait over a decade for Mario RPG, Crono Trigger and Earthbound and a good few years for FFIV and VI.

You do have a good point, the game does start with a fairly breakneck pace and doesn't really slow down until the future. You can explore the entire first continent right from the get go but there's not much to really do, which seems a bit like wasted potential. You can go from the start to 600 AD in just a few minutes

Chrono being a silent protagonist with no story is rather garbage.

They underreact to everything. "Ok" to just anything in the game.

theres literally no reason they can kill lavos

chrono isn't the only character who's kinda plain and featureless, just the most obvious example. I'd go so far as to say the only really interesting character in the game is magus

the game rides a lot more on its interesting setting than its characters
