Chrono Trigger alone would get a 10 here for its multiple endings and End Game+. Then you add in FFIV...

Good RPG’s are few and far between and while those addicted to eye-candy might not be as interested in these titles, they are fantastically addictive while maintaining a good plot and well-established battle systems.

Chrono Trigger and FFIV together is (was) an absolute must have when they released. The Chronicles opened them both up to a larger audience of newer RPG fans. They are both absolutely must plays. I played CT on the SNES so I knew going it what it was. I had not played FFIV until this, so I was happy I was finally able to. FFIV pulled no punches and casuals easily could get beat into submission. That said if you're an RPG veteran you will learn and adapt. Chrono Trigger is just a great, basic, nuts & bolts RPG. Everything is superb. While both of these are not at the top of my list anymore they were at the time and still demand the respect as what RPGs should be. Both are must plays.

i think this was the last final fantasy on the PS1 and if it is it is VERY perfect but it is overshadowed by other popular final fantasy games but it is still perfect.

It’s a testament to the thought and heart that went behind Chrono Trigger that, despite a new loading problem, the game is still more fun than most of its present-day competition.

The only thing holding it back from being a perfect conversion are the sound effects, which seem muffled and slightly off key. Ignore them and play the game, the new text is so worth it.
83
The updated version features a brand new dash feature allowing the player to navigate dungeons and towns much more quickly. This is a very welcome addition as in the original game making your way through these areas quickly became tedious.

Quite worthwhile in the absence of anything new from Squaresoft.

There aren't many bonuses to FFII and CT and it's disappointing. No making-of, no pages of artwork - just barebone games. Still, they're two of the best RPGs around.
