Since GTA 4 doesn't have much of a reward for doing all those unnecessary sidequest things, i grew tired of it and looked for something else to waste my time with. I had already played FFVI last October, so why not give the famed and everywhere highly regarded Chrono Trigger a shot?
Long story short: Lad, Princess, Frog-Knight, Engineer, Robot, Cavewoman and Mage travel time to stop giant monster from destroying planet. Yes, the old Square-story. A YOUNG BOY.....SAVES THE WORLD!
Anyways, sound and graphics are as cool as 16bit gets, the fighting system, which does work like the FF one, so you have to wait till it's your move, is executed a little different, since your enemies move during the combat and depending on where or how close they stand together, you may affect more than one at the same time. Also, you are capable of learing Dual-Techs, so your characters combine their attacks to more powerful ones. Works pretty damn well.
All in all, Chrono Trigger has a better fighting system than FF, is just as great in looks and sounds but fails at building up the characters and telling a story as interesting as FF does it. In my eyes, a good game, but not as mindblowingly amazing as many claim.
