Like, for around fifteen years or so. Is that still the case? Or have other older games been reconsidered? Or has something new unseated it?

Like in a board contest?

I could see FF6, 7, and 10 competing with it here, but that's about it.

If any retro RPG is the best its Suikoden 2
But I'd probably vote P4G honestly

10 of us did a 100 game ranking topic, and as the last update (someone has had 5 games to go for like a year now), this was the aggregate ranking to show you Chrono Trigger's lasting appeal:

Chrono Trigger is still one of the best RPGs relative to its time, but I couldn't bring myself to play it nowadays.

Yes. I doubt anything would match up to it in the genre.

FFVIII couldn't even win the Gen 5 contest.

I would say it doesn't and it just refers more to the 'Japanese style'

CT > Undertale on B8 regardless

I've seen a fair amount of anti-Omori sentiment this year. Feels like it's past its honeymoon period.

I only got to play Omori after the recent console release and thought it was stupendous.

I'd take both over CT myself.

Not in a vote, or course, this place never moves on.

It has a superior sequel but close enough.

If this is in reference to the contests I ran ages ago, CT did win one. I ran it three other times and I believe the other winners were Xenogears, FF7, and FF9. Don't remember what order they all won in though.

CT won that gen 4 contest only a few months ago. I think B8's taste in 90s games is pretty unmoving at this point.

i looked it up and chrono trigger won in your most recent contest (from 2017), beating FFX.

For modern games, Undertale got stomped by Persona 3 and P5 lost to FFVII. Kinda surprised Witcher 3 didn't get in, considering the Bethesda RPGs did, but maybe that was before it really caught on here.
