Items have been renamed and characters are more coherent in their conversations. The DS version features a new translation that cuts out the awkward "thees and thous" of the popular knightly character, while faithfully preserving the original storyline. Things we take for granted today, like positional importance in combat, a lack of random battles, and interesting teamwork-based attacks, make this a game that not only entertained, but also set important precedents. The same can be said for gameplay concepts that never get old, like the combat system in Chrono Trigger. But attractive art, particularly that created from traditional methods, is timeless. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker will age more gracefully than Twilight Princess for the same reason: As time goes on, graphics will improve on a technical level exponentially. It's an example of how certain design philosophies age better than others. Its stylized character designs and unique gameplay mechanics are responsible for that. Not everyone has had the chance to play Chrono Trigger, so luckily the game holds up remarkably well over a dozen years later. Just as "The Hobbit" is an unsurpassed introduction to fantasy literature for younger readers, Chrono Trigger is an unsurpassed introduction to role-playing games that can be enjoyed by gamers young and old. Chrono Trigger is the gaming equivalent to fantasy literature's "The Hobbit." "The Hobbit" isn't as commercially successful as "The Lord of the Rings" (which would be the Final Fantasy games in our comparison), but it's a classic that set the stage for what we read today, and remains as entertaining in its latest release as it did when first published. To gain a profound understanding of the games that we play today, and how they came about, it's crucial to know where they come from, and that can only come from experiencing the classics first-hand. Others will want to experience it one more time, bringing newfound appreciation for games, and an older, wiser perspective on Chrono's trip there and back again.
There are some of you who will want to have a playthrough as a notch on your proverbial belt, a chance to play a classic game that is commonly discussed in the same breath as classics like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Detailed release notes and credits at VGMdb.Whether you're interested in playing Chrono Trigger for the first time or the fifteenth, this latest edition is well-executed, if only marginally better than the original.
