Never played it and want to see what the hype is about.

snes with a flashcart, or just zsnes
>flashcart
S O Y
I'm not paying over 200 fricking dollars for a cartridge of Chrono Trigger you pretentious zoomer homosexual.
The audio is completely broken in zsnes
when in doubt, always just go play the original. there are plenty of quality emulators out there, no need to pay some rando that has 0 to do with a game money for a game.
Steam port is a little ass. Play the original SNES version, which has better sound quality than ANY later release.
Hope you enjoy OP, you're in for a masterpiece.
By original SNES version, do you mean I should use an emulator? What's the standard option these days? I have never used an emulator before, I pretty much gamed on consoles exclusively until recently
Just buy the steam version, its fine.
Emulator is fine. Use bsnes. Chrono Trigger SNES rom should be very easy to find.
The biggest complaint for the steam version is literally "NOOOOOOOO IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SNES GFX LIKE MY NOSTALGIA GOGGLES!". You can download the Demaster to get the old SNES look though I think they added original textures or HD model option.

Just go to the download section and there's a guide and everything. God, now I want to replay it myself.
>I have never used an emulator before
this is insane to me. I remember emulating Pokemon Yellow on my grandma's computer in like 1999.
Steam is fine. Might need a few UI mods, I forget if they fixed that or not.
SNES emulator is probably the best though.
If you never played the original the steam one is fine. The only issue was during launch virtually everything has been fixed and quality of life fixes for some of the 4:3->16:9 fixes are easily downloadable in a mod. The community page has a mega pack for it IIRC that makes it basically 1:1 for the SNES.
the DS version is my favorite because the touchscreen menus in battle make real time battles more fun
isn't Steam version a shitty port from a mobile or am I getting mixed up with old Final Fantasy port
On it's release it had some shitty wide screen stretching that made shit jitter and jerk around the screen. It's been fixed, the only reason to play the original is if you're not down to drag and drop the demake files into the install for the old shit.
If you're playing for the first time you won't care about it
SNES emulator or bust
they fixed the steam port and its perfect now just did a playthrough recently
I'm not sure what the best SNES emulator is right now (zsnes? bsnes? snes9x? I dunno), but that's what you want, OP. Shouldn't be too hard to find a Chrono Trigger rom either, although my knowledge of rom sites is about 12+ years out of date too (RIP coolroms)
I prefer the snes version because the original translation gives Frog olde tyme english and I love that shit.
OG english translation is soulful.
Why did she have clones of everybody
I think they were holograms and they were displayed there to show that she'd been studying all of you. Helps sell her Disney Villain speech right before she fights you.
Fun fact: It wasn't until recently that I learned she does NOT get a special boss theme unless you take Magus to confront her. I just figured it was a Zeal sorcerer thing.
That part was cool
Magus makes the fight insanely kino

Play it on ZSNES
Forget the cutscenes from the DS/PS versions. Just watch those when you beat it. They ooze soul when you do that. They feel out of place and weird being crammed into the game itself.
Except the final, final cutscene. Frick that cutscene. Frick what it spawned. Frick that they even used that as an excuse to spawn what it did.
Frick Chrono Cross, the alleged sequel the non-Dream Teamers seethed about CT over and ruined out of jealousy
q f t
Why bother? Emulators are easy to set up, plus you can use it to play the original version of a lot of other games too if you feel like it later.
Meant to quote that post about the steam version. Whoops.
>What's the best way to play this?
Extremely comfortable in your sexuality and flexibility on potentially becoming a furry. Because both of those are about to take you on a divine pilgrimage.
snes is bad
play on DS or steam
I wish more games had dual and triple techs like Chrono Trigger. Sea of Stars sorta seems to, which is nice.
The problem is the mechanics of them
>Save a turn to use a stronger attack
>Attack scaling has to be better than attacking every turn (1.1-1.4x better)
>But can't be too powerful so as to make them mandatory (1.5-2.5x better)
The JRPG masters have experimented with this in multiple ways over years. From the dual/triple tech system, to the combo/gear level system in xenogears, to the elemental system in Cross. All the way up to modern tinkering taking this concept to the extremes like Bravely Default's default system, and Ocotpath's system.
All of these have proven strategic, but ultimately just risk vs. reward systems that exponentially increase the risk vs. the reward vs. careful planning and tactical use of combat resources.
Thanks for coming to my Second Wind video.
Sea of Shills is horseshit though.
Tacking on shitty timed hits is fake gameplay.
Giving every character almost no skills is boring.
Having a shitty story is lame.
Is Higan a good emulator?
depends if you're queer, it's mostly for queers
SNES/DS
DS version is best version. It has extra content and all the ps1 cutscenes without fricked up loading times. I guess emulate that
Wow thanks now I want to draw Zeal because of this thread FRICK!
Based.
ooouh irredeemable hag erotic
Well I don't think I'll do it at this time. It's almost 2 AM in my time zone.
Best way to experience it would just find an unnarrated playthrough of it and watch that. There's nothing to really "play" so to speak, it's essentially just a visual novel.
I wish morons like you that have this opinion would actually play it and stream it so I can watch Heckran just stomp the shit out of you.
Played this shit like 12 years ago and I don't even remember a boss fight (presumably) named Heckran. Brain was on autopilot the whole time, it's like there was nothing to do. Never a good sign when the individual player is completely optional to the experience, especially for a self-proclaimed RPG.
Honestly it reminded me of Golden Sun a lot. Interesting world and lore, animations, enemy design, etc... but absolutely nothing going on gameplay-wise. Do I love Golden Sun? Absolutely. Would I recommend it as a video game? Jesus Christ no.
Take a step back and have some standards my man. (You)'re the reason "Hard Mode" of FFVIIR is locked behind a playthrough of Journalism Mode.
I don't know. Really sounds like you didn't play it. Chrono Triggers bosses are notorious for punishing mashing the A button. It's not Final Fantasy. Strategy is actually required for even regular enemy fights. more and more so as you go.
Good on you for having the patience anon, because I sure don't. If old school turn based RPGs chap somebody's ass, they can play whatever bullshit they think is "hard" or whatever. Try it, play it, have fun or don't.
The patience to defend turn based battle systems on Ganker, I mean. That part got cut off somehow.

>When the boss prompts you to attack, don't attack and instead spend 2-3 rounds to fully heal
Wow. I'm really feelin' it. This shit plays out exactly like FFVII, which we all know was critically acclaimed for its deep, engaging, strategic enemy encounters.
So confirmed you did not play it.
I said I didn't remember the fight. If you forgot I said that like five minutes ago, surely you can understand why I'd forget such a forgettable encounter from twelve years ago.
Regardless, there's the fight. It's god awful. The only strategy is DON'T ATTACK WHEN THE BOSS GOADS YOU TO, and even then the numbskull playing it does it and it has no major lasting effect. I'm shaking right now, what a memorable experience.
don't u have a palworld thread to bring your shitty attitude in to? tell ur mum i said hi btw. ur sister is well here:)
The frick's a palworld? You can 'ave me mum, and me sister, cause neither of 'em exist no more. Just like Square or Enix's game design, lul.
Some punish it, but most don't. I beat most of the game with the Berserker accessories on two of my characters, they just utterly wrecked most enemies. Even bosses that counterattacked for hitting the wrong thing like Son of Sun and Queen Zeal couldn't stop the rape train that was Ayla.
>Played this shit like 12 years ago
Stopped reading there. I don't believe it and I'm not reading some bullshit life story you typed up to justify your own bullshit.
SNES emulator so you don't have to go through the garbage fluff SE thought was a good idea to have.
What in the frick is that
The incompetence of SquareEnix on display.
I miss Squaresoft.
Why?
They were clearly better than SE at everything except making movies.
Who left?
Their soul.
Why would a business merger cause their soul to dissipate? Maybe it was never really there
Their money after Spirits Within.
So Money = Quality?
No, money = staff salaries. None of the OG devs left willingly.
Who else left other than Sakaguchi?
The company went through a full restructuring and most people left after staying on as consultants for a while:
"Following both the failure of The Spirits Within and a delay to Final Fantasy X (2001) for the PlayStation 2, Square suffered a financial loss for the first time, prompting Sakaguchi, Takechi, and director Masatsugu Hiramatsu to resign from their positions.[8][86] Sakaguchi was kept on as executive producer for Final Fantasy, while Takechi and Hiramatsu were retained as external consultants.[86] This period left Sakaguchi in a state of low morale.[87] In late 2001, Suzuki stepped down as President, and was replaced by Wada.[88] Yosuke Matsuda became Senior Vice President.[82] Kenji Ito also left during this period to work as a freelance composer.[60] Prior to the film's release, rival company Enix was proposing merging with another game company to alleviate development costs, opening serious discussions with Square in 2000.[89][90] Square's financial losses with The Spirits Within prompted Enix to halt discussions.[90]"
"Under Wada, the company underwent restructuring with the intent of streamlining production and resources, and cutting development costs to increase profits.[91] After evaluation of its financial position, and with changes to the console war due to Microsoft's Xbox, Square opened talks with Nintendo for the first time since their breakup in the 1990s.[92][93] The talks were successful, with Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles beginning development for the GameCube in late 2001.[93][94] Square also began production on Final Fantasy X-2, the first direct sequel to a Final Fantasy game.[91][95][96] Final Fantasy X-2 was Sakaguchi's last credited project at Square, and he left the company in 2003.[97] Around this time, Square also began development on Kingdom Hearts (2002), with Nomura making his directorial debut. The game was a collaboration between Square and The Walt Disney Company, blending Disney characters with Final Fantasy elements in an original story.[98][99] Kingdom Hearts was Shimomura's last project as an in-house composer before going freelance in 2002.[100] Also released in 2002 was the Japanese version of Final Fantasy XI, the company's first MMORPG.[101][73] Conceived by Sakaguchi, it was developed by the Chrono team and led by Ishii.[73] Final Fantasy XI and its first expansion was Kato's last work for Square before leaving in 2002 to go freelance.[102]"
sure are lots of Gabe wiener suckers in here
Steam version is ass and stutters no matter what hardware you have
SNES emulator is the way to go
General consensus seems to be SNES ITT, I don't know what the frick you're talking about.
>Steam version is ass and stutters no matter what hardware you have
never happened to me once, only thing that was weird for me was achievements didn't work but who really gives a frick about that
DS for a script that isn't memeshit
Original snes version on an RGB CRT, preferably not a sony, a nice shadow mask TV looks 10 times better.
This game is great but somehow it's still overhyped beyond its actual greatness.
Emulate it in its original language.
Faaaaag
I'm still learning hiragana but there is definitely a "ka" in there
When you see ka, kaa sssees you
Chrono Trigger felt so short compared to other SNES RPGs that I played. The pacing to the story is fast, but at the same time I feel it's so fast that you don't really get to enjoy the places you go.
>Fall in time warp to 2300 AD
>Planet is wrecked and apocalyptic, have to explore to find out what happened
>Two short dungeons and a bike race later, you're out and not returning except for a brief gaiden chapter at the very end of the game
>Discover antiquity
>Get a very short and brief look at Zeal before the plot happens and everything falls apart, leaving that era only a single small village and nothing else
I feel like only the middle ages and prehistory really get any screen time, the other eras just feel like a one-off. And the game itself is really short for an RPG of its time, only about 10 hours long or so.
Yeah the Zeal era in particular was a missed opportunity for kino.
What about PS1 version?
Load times and retranslated script which the latter can be hit or miss for people
The original translation is pretty shitty, if you really want to play the SNES version at least get a retranslation patch.
DS version is good despite what people say, people just don't like the extra content, which isn't even that bad anyway.
PC version has been patched and fixed, plus can be modded if you really want to, but I think it's superfluous
I played the Phone app version of the game.
I was given a Google play gift card and bought it with the money. It was, okay.
Hack the ROM unto a SNES mini.
