The RetroBeat is a weekly column that looks at gaming’s past, diving into classics, new retro titles, or looking at how old favorites - and their design techniques - inspire today’s market and experiences. Now, excuse me while I listen to “Frog’s Theme” on repeat for the rest of the day. Even 25 years later, I can’t think of a modern JRPG that accomplishes so much in so little time. That fast pacing is what makes Chrono Trigger stand out. But I don’t find it to be all that deep or thoughtful.īut a lot of JRPGs have fun stories, memorable casts, and catchy music. Just like how Back to the Future and Jurassic Park offer fun and creative narratives, Chrono Trigger’s story is a lot of fun. And I don’t mean to imply that it has a bad story.

The battle system is fun, especially with the clever teamup attacks. And again, the soundtrack is an all-time great. It has an amazing cast (the noble Frog will always remain one of my favorite JRPG characters). I’m not trying to short-sell Chrono Triggers other amazing qualities.

If ever there was an RPG when I’d want a big tub of popcorn to enjoy while playing, it would be Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger is a fast-paced blockbuster. If something like Shin Megami Tensei IV is Lawrence of Arabia - a long, slow-paced drama - then Chrono Trigger is Jurassic Park … or maybe Back to the Future would be the more adept analogy. The length and pacing help to make Chrono Trigger more accessible than many other RPGs.
