Chrono Trigger (Steam, 2018) #17 The Guru of Time (4k UHD) – 25th anniversary

Chrono Trigger is a 1995 role-playing video game developed and published by Square for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System that began the Chrono series. Chrono Trigger’s development team included three designers that Square dubbed the /”Dream Team/”: Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Square’s successful Final Fantasy series; Yuji Horii, a freelance designer and creator of Enix’s popular Dragon Quest series; and Akira Toriyama, a manga artist famed for his work with Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball. In addition, Kazuhiko Aoki produced the game, Masato Kato wrote most of the story, while composer Yasunori Mitsuda wrote most of the soundtrack before falling ill and deferring the remaining tracks to Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu.The game’s story follows a group of adventurers who travel through time to prevent a global catastrophe.

Chrono Trigger was a critical and commercial success upon release, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. Nintendo Power magazine described aspects of Chrono Trigger as revolutionary, including its multiple endings, plot-related side-quests focusing on character development, unique battle system, and detailed graphics. Chrono Trigger was the third best-selling game of 1995 in Japan, and shipped 2.65 million copies worldwide by March 2003.

As we are approaching the 25th anniversary of this JRPG, I thought it might make sense to give this one another try. Years ago I started it but never quite finished it. I chose the Original Graphics Option for this playthrough.
