PS1 port of the legendary Chrono Trigger, considered the greatest JRPG ever made. Innovative ATB combat system, brilliantly constructed time travel, iconic characters and immortal soundtrack. Some loading times added alongside the bonus animations, but still absolutely essential.

Is Final Fantasy Chronicles - Chrono Trigger still worth playing in 2026?
A PlayStation port of Square's masterpiece, Chrono Trigger keeps its luminous time travel, its seamless battle system with combined techniques and its multiple endings that make it a peak of the Japanese RPG. Akira Toriyama's character design, the snappy pace and the exemplary writing have not aged. This version adds cutscenes but also loading times absent on cartridge. An absolute classic to recommend to any RPG fan, newcomer and connoisseur alike.
