This made me remember how much I loved this game, perhaps my favorite of all time. I'm thinking of firing it up again.

Were you sad when you heard this was cancelled? http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/

Huh interesting, the original name for Soda Popinski, was Vodka Drunkinski. Stupid PC Americans made them change the name.

Chrono Trigger is still my favorite game. I don't see it ever being replaced. It's just too good. Everything about it, top to bottom, is just top notch.

Agreed, along with (for me) Castlevania:Symphony of the Night, and Starcraft. Not a bad bit about any of those games whatsoever, from music to graphics (for the time) to game play, it's all completely top notch.

FFIV and FFVI, along with FFVII are pretty damn fantastic role playing games as well, but they're flawed in minor ways IMO.

I own the soundtrack to chrono trigger (paid some outrageous price I think $60+), but it's awesome. I haven't listened to it in forever, I should dig it out.

I remember a few years back a friend of mine bought a copy off ebay for $90 which I thought was insane. After hearing about you guys talking about it I think I'll have to give it a try.

Well deserved. I think it could make a run for the title of greatest game of all time.

CT definitely one of best RPG's of all time, but FF3 slightly edges it out in my opinion. CT had the gameplay over it, but FF3 pulled me in more with its characters, music, certain scenes, just the whole atmosphere all together.

FF3 doesn't have the extra-fine tuned & organized game engine like CT does. Even the storyline... CT had just enough characters (7 of them) and each one of them had amazing character development.

FF3 had way too damn many.

oh yes, don't forget CT's COMBO system- casting spells with a partner or total of three simuntaneously.
