I also agree that this game is immensely over-rated. I've played through this game three times, and gotten most the endings, so I think I am at least "Sort-of" qualified to make this statement. The only thing that this game really had going for it at the time, was the story, and the graphics. I played this game in the year 1997, an at the time I was fairly impressed, but not nearly as impressed with this as I was with Final Fantasy VII, (All Chrono Trigger fans seem to hate this game.) which was far more revolutionary to me, in every aspect. Something I've noticed though, is that whenever there is a person who whines about Final Fantasy VII being over-rated, they are 9/10 a Chrono Trigger fan, and commit the same hypocrisy, only for a less successful, lower-rated, lesser known game. If numbers don't lie, then why do people still insist that this is a better game? You only say it's not over-rated because you're fanboys for the game, the same reason I defend Final Fantasy VII so much. (Which was not first Final Fantasy, so drop that argument if that's what you were thinking.)
Don't get me wrong, I like Chrono Trigger, I just get sick of seeing the SAME THING THAT EVERYONE ELSE COMPLAINS ABOUT OVER DIFFERENT GAMES.
Beating Chrono Trigger 3 times does not give you most of the endings. There are 14 total. One of the endings is actually beating Lavos in 1200BC. Something you wont do going through the game only 3 times.
I've played through three times, and have gotten about twelve endings. I beat the game on new game + at several different points to get the new endings. I know what I'm talking about. (Yes, this includes the directors room ending.) I know my subjects well before criticizing, and if not, I usually just keep my mouth shut. (That wasn't meant offensively.)
uuuh. Beating the game = Getting to the end of it = getting an ending, 1 ending = beating it 1 time...? Or you could argue beating a game means doing everything, e.g getting all endings i guess.
what?
