I’ve recently been on an old school RPG kick and picked up Chrono Trigger which is a phenomenal game. Any other suggestions on similar games?

    When does Chrono Trigger really start to get good? I’ve tried to play it a few times but it never fully holds me.

      The best shit happens after you’ve been to every time period at least once and end up at The End of Time. That’s when you get magic, and things really get good in the amount of choice you have.

      My favorite parts are the Prehistoric Era when you actually fight Azala and her Black Dino, and the entirety of the Land of Zeal/Ice Age part where we see the Mammon Machine come online.

      For me? As soon as I power on the SNES. For most folks I know? After you complete the intro (festival).

      For me it’s a few points. When you discover the day of Lavos, when you take the fight to Magus’ keep, when you first visit Zeal, and when you get the wings of time are all some of my favourite moments.

      I remember being hooked the moment Marle disappears for the first time. That was 20 years ago. I’m not sure the game would have the same impact on me today.
