Oooo.... Tough topic.


I'd have to say CT is very high up there, but not my #1.

Here are a few games that would rank as #1, but I can't choose just one of them.

Tales of Phantasia (Awsome game, great story, fun battle system, just all around cool!)
Final Fantasy IV (Final Fantasy IV is what got me into RPGs in the first place.  Played a litte Dragon Warrior before hand, but FFIV will always be my first love, and will always rank high up for me.)
Dragon Quest 6 (Very sweet game, fun game play, hours of entertainment, very unique class system.  Loved the game.  I just wish Dragon Quest 5 hadn't frozen on me half way through the game!!!!)

At the time, yes.

Super Moogle (Or SM, as you might want to be called), nice. Never thought about it that way. Still doesn't keep me from loving that ToP, but you make some excellent points.

I must certainly say that Chrono Trigger was a very excellent game. But I wouldn't call it best. Hahaha, it's funny how this thread wound up being a mostly a bunch of people saying that it was good but not the best.

When you bring up a topic like this, your absolutely bound to get people thinking of something else.

BTW, my personal favorite is FFVI. But's not like I don't think that CT isn't rad.

Oh, and since forum is under Other Square Games, I guess you can't add Tales of Phantasia to it.

Well, chrono trigger rocks, but i like ff6 best, it has a better story, and also it kept me busy longer than chrono trigger. My number one is super metroid.

Best game ever? i don't know if its the best game ever but it sure is DARN GOOD!!!!!

chrono trigger is one of those rare games that gets better every time that you play it.  i definitely put it in my top 5, but not necessarily number 1.

Chrono Trigger is a game i played when i was only 7 or 8 i forget but i'm happy with the improvments.

---Statement retracted---

I'm all for people having their own opinions, but it's extremely rude to criticise others' (though I grant you, I probably get mad enough to do it myself when people say FF8 is best-of-series ).  Besides which, Chrono Trigger ISN'T a 3D game... so I'm not exactly sure what your point is.

I've been playing games since the SNES era.  So no, I'm not hardcore and old school, but I remember a 2D time, and I remember thinking that games, by and large, were better then.  But my favourite FF is FF7, my favourite GTA is GTA3 or VC, two of my favourite games are Starfox 64 and Deus Ex, and I've played a good deal of enjoyable 3D games all round.

Don't assume that this being an FF6 site (which it isn't just, really) means it's full of FF6 zealots.  Most of the staff seem to regard either FF7 or FF Tactics as best-of-series.

I can understand a dislike of 3D games and a strong personal preference, but please, don't make out that other people's opinions are wrong.

Sorry, I do get carried away on that subject. I should withstrain myself. My purpose was not to Insult, but rather to draw attention to all those good 2D games that have been forgotten. I truely am sorry that I offended anyone; like I said I do get carried away on that subject.

PS   If Crono Trigger is not 3D, then I must be thinking of Crono Cross. Sorry again.

Hmmmm... A interesting game with a origional way of destroying and saving the world. Not my favorite but definately up there.

"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

CT was sweet as hell (characters, story, gameplay, music were all great) but FF6 beats all those qualities in every way shape and form. particularly characters (SETZER) and music, me being a musician, the music is my favorite part of the game

Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath

Your time will come...

Chrono trigger = tied with ff3/6 for 1st in my top 5 games

Just to clarify it, this is my list currently.

1. Final Fantasy Tactics/Final Fantsay VI (Tactics doesn't really count as an RPG, but I really like it better than FFVI, but it is a proper RPG)
2. Final Fantasy VIII
3. Chrono Trigger
4. Legend of Dragoon
5. Tactics Ogre: Knights of Lodis (not a true RPG either, but it's really fun)

i hate to say but i haven't played yet, but am looking foward to. if it's like crono cross(which i havent's played lately. i have bean slacking... stupid me), it should be good!

Best Game ever, I dunno. It's really hard to Compare Chrono to the Final fAntasy Series.  Kinda like Apples and Oranges.
I think the game deserves recognition for being one of a kind, especially when it was released. The sequel however sadly disappointed me. I expected soo much more. Oh well. I'll get over it...

I don't know about greatest game of all time.  There are many more genres of games.  Greatest RPG...it's a toughie.  You can't really compare FF9 or FF7 to CT.  The times where so much diffrent, techie wise and mere limits.  I mean there's swearing in PSX games.  Not is the Snes, so it makes the dialoge weaker in Snes games.  But regardless, it's one of the best RPGs, a super contender for classic Snes games and Square's best games.

If there was a Japanese member, he'd say diffrently.  CT was considered the 'Dream Project' with HUGE animation and techie names creating the game.  DBZ fans might recognize Crono as a near body double for Goku.  Also, Magus has the HUGE maiden's peak like Vegeta.

So if you're done reading this, you know I have nothing to say and you've wasted your time. Thank you come again.

I can't say what the best COMPUTER game ever is, although Chrono Trigger is mighty high in my rankings. The best game I ever played is CYBERPUNK RPG - no competition.

P.S. I've yet to play Tales of Phantasia - what's it about?
