/vr/ - Retro Games

Pic absolutely related. Absolutely hate this game

I'm sorry, but I just feel the need to vent about how Chrono Trigger is probably the most over rated jrpg ever. My first experience with it was in 1999. I procured a Japanese copy from Game Trading Zone by trading a few Nintendo power magazines. I don't speak moon so I couldn't enjoy the story and I quit before completing the Robo portion of the story. Fast forward to 2013. The game takes me about 20 hours to beat with the normal ending. Sparse side quests, over world is ass, game as a whole feels linear. Kind of like a Megaman game where you can choose your level, but the path from point a to b leaves not much to explore. I feel like everyone dug it because the art was done by Akira Toriyama and was a square game. All in all, the game was ridiculously easy. Thoughts?
