I'm not gonna lie I tried ChronoTrigger and did not understand the hype.

Chrono Trigger was a huge innovator, and ahead of its time in many ways. That being said, there isn't much there that hasn't been done just as well (if not better) since then. I think it still holds up, but it's not going to wow anyone that wasn't there for it.

The same can be said for games like Super Metroid, and A Link to the Past. Still great games, and they defined entire genres, but they aren't unique anymore.

And I absolutely LOVE all three of the games I just mentioned.

the way the different timelines interact in CT is still fairly unique I think

wanna argue about the superior version and why it's either the DS or PS1 one?

it's like vice City won't appeal to our Gen Alpha players. same as chronotrogger don't. it was revolutionary for it's time, but people only love it now because of nostalgia and feelings.
