Now that the dust has settled, can we agree that Chrono Trigger was, dare I say it, the quintessential marpiglike?

I'm feeling it's more of an dragonscot-undervania with some subtle scroll-'em-up elements. Definitely a SNEZZ hiden gem right here.

CT did gameplay so right. There was no intro or outro battle animation. You enter and exit battles lightning fast. Each level or dungeon screen had a set amount of enemies you had to deal with, once they were killed you could explore in peace, or you could avoid them pretty easily. Enemies were also visible no random encounters. This prevented annoying interruptions for the player and the developers could gauge a player's level much better, assuming he didn't reset screens/dungeons and grind on purpose.
Sometimes in jrpgs I get overleveled just by exploring or if I get lost and end up doing a ton of random encounters.

The story and characters were also freaken good. Who doesn't like Frog or Robo? The girls were a good blend of provocative and approachable. Villains were done right. Tech system was fun. The gear was pretty balanced for the most part.

10/10 Game. Sure it is OVERHYPED but so what? GO play it.
I want to play it again but I already beat it like 5x

very well said anon.. this game did so much right that even tho it can be considered overhyped it still one hella great game to play. And add in new game+ and all the possible ending to see it has replay. I still remember the first time I beat lavos with my super powerred up chrono solo... got that special ending. Beautiful game

Gameplay is the only thing it got wrong, dipshit. It was the game that killed JRPGs by taking you for a ride instead of letting you explore and actually play the game.

A+ visuals
A+ music
A+ story
C- combat
F exploration
F challenge level

CT should have been a visual novel, or better yet, an animated series. Then it would've been a masterpiece.

Chrono Trigger is one of the very best RPGs ever. To me, it's only flaws were that it is too easy and felt incomplete at times, as if some things were not expanded upon enough, the best example being Schala's whole ordeal.
