Yes! I love this game, definitely getting it for DS.

[popdisaster00]

does the website do anything besides show this clock?

[buysoap]

Naw, just a clock for now. Supposedly it's a countdown.

[BrokenMirror]

I've been debating whether to get a DS for a while. This may just swing it. Never played Trigger or Cross, but I've heard nothing but good things, and I'd like to try this classic RPG.

I though the Chrono series was Playstation exclusive, or was that just Cross. Which system was Trigger released on?

[sputniksignals]

Trigger was SNES. Cross was PSX. Trigger was re-release with FF Chronicles along with FFIV. I don't know if I'll spend money on a port that I already have.

[buysoap]

This port is probably better than the old port, hahaha. Either way, I definitely would love to play through it again.

[sputniksignals]

Yeah the PSX port was so like slow. Actions during battle were like delayed and shit and it got annoying but meh. I would like the mobile aspect of it but that's pretty much it. I'm still undecided on FFIV DS...

[DItaliaO]

i think a preview is in this week's famitsu

[Kif]

I never played the original, someone tell me what the fuss is about.

[unwritten]

I loved this and Chrono Cross.

[buysoap]

I never played the original, someone tell me what the fuss is about.
It's a really classic RPG with a great story, great characters, and a good gameplay system. You get to time travel! There's also a bazillion endings. It was pretty epic for it's time.

[pshh]

probably the best rpg snes game ever

[sputniksignals]

I still liked SMRPG:Legend of the Seven Stars :shrug: Geno was the balls with that 9999 attack

[buysoap]

Isn't there a DS Mario RPG now?

[sputniksignals]

Isn't there a DS Mario RPG now?

There was one for GBA (Superstar Saga) and a sequel for the DS, yes. But neither touch the original

[buysoap]

Is it worth playing?

[chronomic]

this is the game that gave me the first part of my username.

[sputniksignals]

Is it worth playing?

I dont have the second DS one. I have the first GBA one and it was fun because it used like timing attacks and stuff like that. The puzzles also involved using Mario and Luigi's special abilities. I liked it. Id say its worth playing

If I get a DS for Chrono Trigger, maybe I'll get it. That, Zelda, and Phoenix Wright. Definitely Phoenix Wright, haha, I love that game!

OBJECTION!

[sputniksignals]

I have Zelda. Stopped playing to for some reason...

[Throwback]

Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana are tied for my favorite video games of all time.

[sputniksignals]

I love Xenogears as one of my favorite RPGs, which is tied with FFIX which has a soft spot in my heart as my first FF. But Xenogears ruled, despite being an unfinished work that starts off awesome and ends off like a book.

[DItaliaO]

If I get a DS for Chrono Trigger, maybe I'll get it. That, Zelda, and Phoenix Wright. Definitely Phoenix Wright, haha, I love that game!

OBJECTION!

don't forget Final Fantasy IV remake coming out in July. Previews say it's way harder then any previous version.

Trigger is my favorite game ever. Hopefully this sells well and the series gets a third game.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

awesome game

They were planning one for a while but they ended up not doing it, Chrono Break or something

[staywhatyouare9]

There was one for GBA (Superstar Saga) and a sequel for the DS, yes. But neither touch the original

Those aren't true sequels though, just another mario game that fits in the RPG genre, they shouldnt even be compared.

But ah yes chrono trigger is an amazing fucking game, one of the greatest RPG's ever put out there and a game that will easily pass the test of time, I would take it over 99.9% of the bullshit role-playing games they put out these days,

No I was just saying there were other Mario RPG games, and that the DS one was a sequel to the GBA one.

[notoaststereo]

one of the best RPGs ever.

[anamericangod]

One of the, if not the, best RPG I have ever played. The only one it can compete with is FF VII. I still have it for the SNES, and most of the original packaging. One day I'll buy a mint edition on eBay.

This and Final Fantasy VII set the bar for me in games.

[Kid Defender]

Any new updates on this? I can't find anything about a release date, but I'm just no good at finding some of the obscure info that some people are here are able to find. The release probably isn't set yet, but I'm just so damn excited for this that I'm losing patience.

this holiday season

[pshh]

Consumed my life as a 6-7 year old coming home and playing this for endless hours.

A huge piece of my childhood videogaming haha. One of my fav game of all time.

[tomakebelieve]

Chrono Trigger, FFVII, and Xenogears are my three favorite games of all time. I am excited for this to be re-released on the DS... it'll help kill the time when I travel this winter for the holidays.

[2 fly and shy]

This remains my favorite RPG after all these years. The characters are great, the graphics are fantastic, it has multiple endings...

Unless the DS version has exclusive content, I don't think I'll be buying it. I already have it for SNES and the ROM on my comp.

[alaskan]

i am so stoked for this on DS, i play this game on trips on my SNES emulator, but laptops go dead so fast, DS will be sweet to travel with

[alaskan]

i love this game, but Breath of Fire 2 was one of the greatest RPG's ever created

YES!! That is what I was looking for. I'm so damn excited.

[alaskan]

so excited

[aolsux]

bump, comes out in less than two weeks

[buysoap]

Good bump.

[fluke182]

This game made me unbelievably angry. I loved it so much, but I always had problems beating the final boss. I actually took a ten year break and beat it. Strangely enough, I did the same thing with Earthbound, except I just couldn't beat that game. I ran out of Super Bottle Rockets and couldn't beat the final boss.

Makes me sad, sad, sad.

This is one of my all time favorites, along with Earthbound, FFVI, FFIV, FFVIII, and KOTOR 1.

I clearly favor RPG's.

[WakingTheMisery]

Color me excited.

[Blakebear]

So do I need to play this game? Thinking about downloading an SNES emulator and going at it now that class is over.

[I am Mick]

yes.

[Asadcow]

One of the greatest games ever created, play it for sure.

[Blakebear]

Perfect. Will do.

[Asadcow]

This game was so far ahead of it's time. Makes me smile just thinking about it

[new_arbiter]

Seeing this thread is making me kick myself for not bringing my SNES home for winter break.
