This is the final article of the series, but if you missed any, you can find links to all of previous articles below.Chrono trigger transcends time as one of the best JRPGS (quite on theme of the game itself).
HOW MANY CHRONO TRIGGER ENDINGS SERIES
Throughout the week, SlashGear has been publishing a series of articles commemorating the 25th anniversary of Chrono Trigger. Until the day that such a remake is announced – if that day ever comes at all – I’m more than happy revisiting the original game every once in a while, because Chrono Trigger is an adventure that never gets old. Who knows if we’ll ever see that actually happen but, after the success of Final Fantasy VII Remake, I’m confident that the Square Enix executives responsible for calling the shots have at least considered it. While a sequel might shift the narrative in ways that don’t sit well with Chrono Trigger fans, or somehow ruin the characters we fell in love with all those years ago, a remake that stops short of making dramatic changes to the original game’s story doesn’t really run that risk. Chrono Trigger writer Masato Kato and composer Yasunori Mitsuda returned for this text-based adventure, but the game ultimately received limited attention from gamers.Ī remake is safer than a sequel because, if it turns out to be bad, we can always go back to the original. We also have Radical Dreamers, which serves as something as a side story for Chrono Trigger and introduces some of the characters from Chrono Cross. So, what happens from here? Usually a game as good as Chrono Trigger would spawn some kind of never-ending franchise like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest did, right? Chrono Trigger did have a sequel called Chrono Cross for the original PlayStation, and while there are indeed plenty of references to Chrono Trigger throughout, it’s safe to say that Chrono Cross probably isn’t what most people were looking for out of a proper sequel (despite being very good in its own right).
It is a masterpiece in every sense of the word, and anyone who likes video games – even those who don’t usually enjoy RPGs – should play it at some point.
Every part of this game, whether it’s the characters, story, music, or just the unexpected ways the narrative twists and turns, comes together to make Chrono Trigger not just one of the best RPGs ever made, but one of the best games of all. In the end, that jolt just serves to make Chrono Trigger all the more memorable. The first time I played through Chrono Trigger, that moment where Crono sacrifices himself in the Kingdom of Zeal was quite the gut punch, because back in 1995, we didn’t have too many games that would go for a twist like that. It takes a lot of guts to kill off your main character, especially silent protagonists who are supposed to serve as an avatar of the player. While I haven’t been shy about Chrono Trigger spoilers in this series of articles, I’ll leave that ending a secret for those fans among us who haven’t seen it. In fact, one of Chrono Trigger‘s endings requires that Crono remains dead through your final confrontation with Lavos, so if you want to see all of the game’s endings, you’ll have to finish the game without him at some point. You can carry on with the party members you have and complete the game without ever reviving Crono, despite the fact that he’s the main character. What makes Crono’s death so impactful is the fact that while you can bring him back to life, you don’t actually have to. Sure enough, Chrono Trigger gives you the opportunity to bring Crono back at one point (using the titular Chrono Trigger, no less). Generally – and this is particularly true when it comes to video games – we see those characters revived later on in the narrative somehow.

Obviously, Chrono Trigger wasn’t the first video game or movie or TV show to kill off its principal character.
