One of the best JRPG ever released.

Playable on TV, like it should be played.

NukaCola4637d ago (Edited 4637d ago )

Been playable on TV over 16 years.

disturbing_flame4637d ago

It has been released first on SNES and port to PSX.

This game is designed to be played on TV.

NukaCola4637d ago

I personally wish they would have released it like Sega does their games. Where it's like an emulated system, so you can tweak the graphics a little, or screen size, and also so they could add trophies to this. Wish it wasn't just a port of a port personally. I think I might scoop it up eventually. I love having classics on the PSP since I travel a lot. Having stuff like Oddworld and Final Fantasy VII-IX on the PSP are great pick up and plays plus they look really good on the smaller screen.

HelghastKid4637d ago

Agreed, I remember when FF7 first came on the store. I bought it and played it on a 42 inch screen, I thought I was going to get eye cancer O.o these are definitely meant to be played on the psp lol.

@NukaCola

It's not a port of a port. It's just a port. PSone classics are ripped right from PSone discs. It's not ported again to PSP/PS3. The hardware uses a software emulator to run PS1 games as is.

@koehler83

I meant that it was an SNES game polished up a tadbit and added content to the PS One disc. Then now placed onto the PS3/PSP. Not calling it a port persay, jsut saying it's a game I am glad is getting passed around. I personally dont know why a PSP version wasn't released like what they did with Phantasy Star and FF1/FF2

Can't wait for this game been wanting it for a while since I found out it was on the Wii to download I just hope they don't jack the price of it to 9.99 like they did with FF7, FF8, and FF9 on the PSN once it's on there on the PSP it will go for when I go on the road

Allowen4637d ago (Edited 4637d ago )

You can't save state at any time on the PS3 while playing the PSone classics but you CAN do it on the PSP.
Just turn off the PSP and when you turn it on again your progress so far will be there.Even UMD based games you can turn off or let the battery 's low power turn it off to you and BUM= automtic save state .

You are right , PSclassics were made to be played on the PSP !

STIKUP ARTIST4637d ago

I beat this game when I was 16 back on the snes and I still have the ps1 version that came in final fantasy chronicles. I wish they would put trophies in it just to have a reason to play through this again, it does have multiple endings.

Peaceful_Jelly4637d ago (Edited 4637d ago )

If this is just the PS1 version then forget it. I know the PS1 version had the anime cut-scenes but the loadings were terrible. And I mean, really TERRIBLE.

I heard the jap version had fast loading while FFIV had terrible loading but the for the western realease of Final Fantasy Chronicles (or whatever it was called) it was the other way around. FFIV had fast loadings while Chrono Trigger had slow loadings.

Super Mario RPG Remake Brings Us One Step Closer To Chrono Trigger

It's long been thought that a Chrono Trigger remake is impossible, but the Super Mario RPG remake could pave the way.

It's already been said that they weren't motivated to do anything with the series unless the gang was back together, not really for any legal reasons.

FinalFantasyFanatic339d ago

I'm honestly happy with the Steam port of the game.

Mobile Games Killed The Dream Of Chrono Trigger 3

A third Chrono series game called Chrono Break was planned, but Square prioritized an MMORPG, and Chrono Break’s concepts were used in mobile games.

Square isn’t what it used to be.

CrimsonWing69457d ago

It’s true.

Squaresoft used to be like the equivalent of Naughty Dog back in the day. When you heard Squaresoft was making a game you knew it’d be a banger.

god I miss those days.

porkChop457d ago

Yeah they used to be the best in the industry. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is the worst decision they ever made. While they had previously talked about merging with Enix, that film flopping so hard left them with no other option.

CrimsonWing69457d ago

@porkChop

My understanding is that merger was happening before the film and the flop of the film freaked them out because they thought Enix would call it off.

I personally wish Square Pictures was a success. I thought the Matrix shirt they did was cool and they were pushing computer animation into a more mature realm.

Unfortunately, Spirits Within noted many and wasn’t the FF movie a lot of fans wanted. I thought it was decent, but something like Advent Children should’ve been the direction they went.

Ronmaest451d ago

To me, Naughty Dog is now Naughtycucks.p after that god awful story in LoU 2.

It was people like Yasumi Matsuno that held it for me, at Squaresoft. The company thought them too radical and ran them out. And now they yearn for people like that. They’re short sighted and pathetic.

GoodGuy09457d ago

Square ruined pretty much every great old franchise they've had.

franwex457d ago

Kinda misleading title, even from reading the article itself.

The staff and management couldn’t come to an agreement and the team moved on. Part of the team went to creat ff11 and the rest to Monolith software. Ideas for this game were implemented in some form to mobile games-later on. Which make sense as early 2000s mobile phones were not as powerful.

Top 20 Soundtracks From the 16-Bit Era

In the 16-bit era, game devs and composers could finally change the type of tones used in the music, simulating a wider array of instruments and creating a whole lot of great soundtracks in the process.

It wasn’t easy picking out the best of the best because there were so many great ones. Even middle-of-the-road soundtracks seemed to deserve a bump if the game was just that damn good, and so many from that era are that damn good!

Here's the Ghetto Gamer list of top 20 soundtracks from the 16-bit era.
