It's mainly the greatest game for autists and retards who don't know a good time travel story that wouldn't collapse in on itself within the first 20 minutes.

The game overall is at most a 7.8-8 at best, but there are better ones. Art and the idea was great for the time. I still like it however.

The story is literally the only reason why this game got so incredibly popular. And Toriyama's art, maybe.

The gameplay is cool but nothing ground-breaking

Its the OST that still makes the game one of the greatest ever

No, that makes it one of the greatest sound-tracks for a video game. How does the music make plot and gameplay?

Although, the soundtrack is definitely pic related.

Are soundtrack and sound design--and by extension, atmosphere--not factors in the overall quality of the game?

Just played this for the first time a month ago, I liked it but it had some legitimately terrible bosses

its the combination of multiple factors that make the game lauded
pretty well paced
engaging story and characters
incredible soundtrack
detailed and distinctive art
and a great rpg battle system for its time

it's not all about the gameplay buddy, it's about the whole package

>a good time travel story
Please list games with good time travel stories.

Why is plot part of the game but not music

For a game like Chrono Trigger? It can set the tone and feel of the moment, but it's not really atmospheric as you think.

It's one of the factors leading to the whole package, but the most important things about a JRPG is the battle system and plot. I've played tons of good jrpgs with completely forgettable music or ones that never hit the tone correctly, and vice versa.

Just ask yourself, can you play the game on mute (or just with the sound effects) and still get the same level of enjoyment out of it?

Timesplitters 2 / Future Perfect
LOZ: Ocarina of Time
Radiant Historia

A few off the top of my head.

Those 3 are good stories but CT is not? I won't even bother asking this time.

Chrono Trigger has many paradoxes that are not explained within it's own universe which make it retarded. At least it's attempted with in these games.

Look at these to get an idea of what I mean. People can only theorycraft what they are going for, however for a simple plot, it kinda makes everything stupid. All they had to do was say the pendant was a tool that would keep the party outside the reaches of time or some bullshit but they didn't.

Again, good game, plot while interesting doesn't make much sense.
