Chrono Trigger puts the gamer in the shoes of an ordinary country boy,
with dreams of becoming an adventurous swordsman, who ends up at the
fate of time itself! Early on in the game, characters and story unfolds
as you go to the Millennium Fair; a kingdom-wide expo. During the fun
of the fair, you bump into a mysterious young girl who demands your
attention for the duration of the festivities. After a while, you visit
Lucca, a childhood friend who dabbles in gadgets and such, and try out
her latest invention. Your best friend Lucca's "transporter" machine
goes awfully wrong and the mystery girl, Marle, gets sucked into a warp
portal, leaving her glowing pendant behind. Brave Chrono (you) goes
into the warp portal after her, and the time travelling adventure
begins!
This game is awesome and everybody who is a fan of RPGs should try it
out. The multiple side quests only add to the already lengthy (30+
hours) main story and the game is brimmed with secret armor, secret
weapons, hidden dungeons, and a secret character!
The game has some of the best music ever graced on a console; composer
Yasunori Mitsuya's music draws laughs and tears to rage all the same.
The game's artwork is done by Akira Toriyama; a true graphical beauty.
Do yourself a favor and play this amazing game.
