Chrono Trigger has a more memorable villain and story. FFVI is cool, but it's a bunch of random people that go kill a clown who just kind of screwed with the environment a little bit.

insano clown is far more memorable than evil space tick

chrono trigger is just a far shorter, simpler and easier game so everyone’s finished it

I've been thinking about this. I love both, and don't wish to shit fling, but I just replayed Chrono Trigger and am replaying FF6 and I return to my childhood preference for 6.
I think the biggest thing Chrono Trigger has going for it is the art, music, and the breakneck pacing. CT is short, and to the point, and it's just easy to play and that helps a lot.
It also has the big spritework which is very appealing.

It's boring with boring, unappealing gray aesthetics and tiles that are repeating too blatantly, random encounters all the time with basic combat. All that + the dull and tiresome Final Fantasy antics and cringy tryhard writing

Chrono Trigger is just more fun to play. FF6 is held up by its story and music, it withers in all other aspects.

>this abomination is supposed to be good art
Why does Square Enix fall for so many hack artists? This wannabe Picasso you posted, Nomura with his gay emo boys, Yoshida with picrel

I have no idea how anyone actually thinks Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy 6 have good stories.

Even that I disagree. Chrono Trigger is really, really simple. I like JRPGs, but they're not a very complicated genre most of the time, but even there CT proves to be pretty simple. While the spell learning system, combined with the large cast of characters that vary in pretty fun ways means that FF6 has a lot going on, I think.
I still think that CTs extreme straightforwardness and very pretty presentation is the big thing.

You might be autistic or expecting too much from a JRPG

Also, as an add-on, CT is a good example of a series of little stories adding up to a larger story. They do that well, the plotting is good, and though I personally think the 65,000,000 BC stuff is sort of boring, it has such a rapid pace that nothing really bogs it down. My recent 100% replay clocked in at a fine 18 hours.

its boring and has terrible pacing plus character bloat, it's mediocre compared to CT and a step back from FF4

Yoshida knows FF is for babies so he makes sure the art matches it, his superior games get better treatment.

Insane clown was only good because of the song broski

[Anonymous No.9553689]

FF6 is where Square planted seeds of trying to be Disney until it culminated with Kingdom Hearts. CT ends up better because it has its own style. No other game tries to be like CT except CT.

In terms of gameplay FF6 is better. More complex.

I don't like it, and I don't like Chrono Trigger. I'm tired of everyone calling them the peak of the genre. They are so bland in every single way it's crazy. I don't even care about how well they're executed, they're just generic and engineered for mass appeal. It makes them so fucking boring to play.

For one, Final Fantasy VI didn't exist in the west for years

Why do you even care that Mog isn't in Chrono Trigger? He's such a forgettable character.
