Board 8 > Is Crono only gamefaqs popular?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Cause I sure as hell never met a Chrono Trigger fan irl

I have one friend who's obsessed with it

but I think generally no
---

Its not just on Gamefaqs where Chrono Trigger is loved, but I doubt there is another big website where Crono wins over Bowser.

Hes popular, but Gamefaqs definitely makes him seem more popular than he actually is. This site has a lot of skewed taste though.

If you went by this site, you would think the IPhone is the worst selling phone on the market.

It's really his only nuance to set himsrlf apart from like every SNES/PS1 era RPG

That doesn't help Dragon Quest. In America anyway.

Uhh Chrono Trigger is routinely seen as the best SNES game in a lot of corners
---

Like?

Its pretty popular on Somethingawful. Theyve uploaded like five playthroughs of it on LPArchive, and also a fake one done by a troll artist.
---

Chrono Trigger is popular, just not as popular as it is on GameFAQs. Like it would probably rank as a mid to upper-mid tier SNES game.
---

True that. I mean name another gaming site/forum where Crono beats Mario.

Gamefaqs makes a ton of jrpgs popular.

Nowhere on the internet will you find more traffic and activity for a niche Jrpg board. Im not saying CT is but just any jrpg to come out In the last 20 years. Most tales games are popular here. More so than offices tales forums. Same with persona and strain odyssey and any jrpg you can name except Final fantasy.

I remember 12 years ago or so Suikoden V came out and the board on gfaqs was number one for a while and if you typed in any discussion on google it would come to this site. Everywhere else maybe a topic a day if any.

This is the site to come to discuss jrpgs

This popularity doesn't hold on contests though except Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy though.

It doesnt need to

And it does in relation to who those characters and games are.

It doesnt matter if not tales characters do well in contests. When a new tales games comes out it goes to number 1 and has hght activity and plenty of discussion for weeks and months.

Also lets look at the GOTY poll last year...on what site would Persona 5 get that many votes in comparison to juggernauts like BOTW and Mario? None unless its a person fan site.

Absolutely
