-LITERALLY- everyone on Yea Forums already agrees that chrono nigger is the best and also that chrono cross was terrible.

Baby's first RPG

So they named an RPG that's been out for years GOAT over an RPG that's been out for years? What was changed about FF6 or Chrono Trigger that decided the replacement? Kinda just sounds like these rankings mean literally fucking nothing because the opinions on what is GOAT is subjective as fuck and only serves to support strawman arguments on the internet.

>baby's first non argument

Different reviewers

>IGN
come on, is this what really passes for a thread these days

Correct

>Not knowing the difference between it's and its

Yikes. Jrpg kids are so dumb.

>IGN

Both are bad tho so whatever

Oh look it's those 2 games only people on the internet would ever think is GOAT.

Pretty sure Final Fantasy is so iconic that even your out of touch grandparents know what it is

It’s really casual

Try a laxative

No, trigger is a boring slog to play, people only like it for nostalgia. Weak story, awful combat. Only held up by its aesthetics.

I don't understand the mass appeal of CT, it's not that good, it's a JRPG for people who don't actually like JRPGs.

You just answered your own question.

How the fuck is fucking chrono trigger better than something like Persona 5? Persona 5 has characters you actually care about, better graphics, better story, pretty much better everything. Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good. The only thing Persona 5 does bad is that the dungeons are too long.

>better story
with two incredibly stupid antagonists no it does not

Persona 5 is the CT of Gen Z, overrated mediocre RPGs.

The SNES era of JRPGs is by far the most overrated. Chrono Trigger definitely stands head and shoulders above the rest of them, but RPGs have only gotten better over time, both in terms of writing and mechanics. And that's just JRPGs. Western RPGs have been better than Chrono Trigger since Ultima IV came out the same fucking year and took the genre from dinky dungeon crawlers riffing off DnD to worlds you actively interact with and affect in more ways than just changing a cutscene or an ending. But Ultima IV wasn't on the SNES with cutesy 16-bit graphics, so the Mongoloids who make these lists in the first place probably never played it.

I just find it funny how these RPGs are famous for breaking the mold when it comes to JRPG story-telling, but the western take on the genre that has continuously pushed the boundaries of player agency and actual role-playing only gets credit when a big-budget AAA title comes out and when Baldur's Gate, Deus Ex or New Vegas occasionally show up on a top 10 list.

I would argue Chrono Trigger is still a better game than Persona 5, but most people who care enough to make these lists give a fuckton of weight to legacy and notalgia.

CT wasn't a top seller you know, ultima IV didn't sell much less. People still remember CT though because it's actually good, unlike any wRPG released prior to 2004 which is automatically trash by default

Combat is mindnumbingly boring. Enemies pose no threat and deal a fraction of the damage the player can dish out. Abilities are incredibly boring: everything either deals damage or heals it. There's literally only one or two abilities in the entire game that inflict a status ailment. Dual/triple techs are boring variations on the same 'do tons of damage' or 'heal tons of HP' template. The ATB system only encourages mindlessly bashing 'attack' as fast as possible to prevent enemies from getting hits in.

There's barely any exploration, it's a time travel game that is paradoxicallty completely on rails. Your only choice is how soon you want to end the game by teleporting to Lavos, and even that is realistically only a choice on NG+.

It has incredibly shallow writing. Not a single character has a distinct voice, besides Frog's heavy-handed Ye Olde English. Everyone is a walking cliche: the rebellious princess, the geeky scientist girl, the noble knight who's been cursed, etc. We don't even know a single thing about Crono, ostensibly the main character. What does he do for a living? Does he still go to school? Where did he learn swordplay? That's how barebones the narrative is. The setting doesn't make a lick of sense: Lucca, a teenage girl, invented firearms and a time machine in a pre-industrial setting, and we are supposed to take this seriously.

The multiple endings are even shallower than the overall narrative: they're either superficial variations on the same happy ending, or even worse, easter egg/joke endings. They're pointless and contribute nothing to the game.

Time travel is not even used in any meaningful way: instead of traveling back in time to prevent Lavos from becoming a threat, the characters travel forward in time to face him at the height of his power and beat him up. The doom of all mankind, that destroyed a sci-fi civilization, can be punched to death by three teenagers. How does that even make sense?

I fell for the ff6 meme, I cannot believe how shit it is.

7.8/10 too much water.

>the best RPGs are the JRPGs the people making the ranking played as kids
Nothing to see here, move along.
