CT lover here I recommend these, giving only SNES/SFC recorecommendations

Dragon Quest V
Dragon Quest I-II
Dragon Quest III
Metal Max Returns
Live A Live
Earthbound
Final Fantasy V/VI

>>3486127
The famous ones: Final Fantasy 6, Earthbound, Secret of Mana (action rpg)

Some "hidden gems" (the term exists, you like it or not): Lufia 2 and Terranigma (action rpg too)

>>3486460
Forgot to mention some really good ones.

Final Fantasy 5 (for me it's the best FF, I said 6 just because it's a famous rival to CT), FF5 is so well designed that there's a huge crowd that plays it yearly even today (see ff5 job fiesta)

The Breath of Fire series is very good too, 1 was my first RPG and I have major nostalgia glasses over it, 2 has a deep story, and Katt; 3 and 4 for PS1 are very good too

>>3486127
>Is the sequel Chrono Cross good as well?
Also no.

>>3486127
>>3486498
From what I heard, chrono cross was a middle finger to chrono trigger and made a lot of stupid changes to the story.

>>3486127
Did you copy that post word for word from the last one or did you mix it up a bit this time?

>>3486127
I played this for the first time myself not long ago and loved it to death. Absolutely a 10/10 game for me.

I'll never understand threads like these. CT isn't just an entry level JRPG, it's fucking entry level gaming. What were you doing with your childhood in which you didn't play CT? Why do you want to play it now?

English versions are way overpriced. I got a boxed near mint Chrono Trigger and other games bundled with it, all complete, in japanese though, for $30.

If you can read japanese, you can save tons of money. Why english is so overpriced blows my mind.

declared it being the greatest game of all time. #1

>>3486127
>Are there any other SNES RPGs that are this good?
From a pure presentation point, Terranigma. CT gets abit of edge over Terranigma, though, because Terranigma kinda falls short towards the end. For gameplay I like Super Mario RPG and Seiken Densetsu 3. For atmosphere, Shin Megami Tensei. For the innovation it's Live a Live, and for pushing the hardware to the absolute limit, Star Ocean.

CT is the overall package, though.

>>3486127
Live A Live, FFIV, DQV, Lufia II, Treasure Of The Rudras
Chrono Cross is also cool, but most people who like trigger hate it

>>3487342

You mean people born in a year beginning with 2.

>>3486760
Except for the fact that Super Mario World on the SNES sold 10 copies for every 1 copy of Chrono Trigger sold. Not to mention Mario sold millions on the NES and was vastly more ubiquitous than Chrono Trigger. Shitty analogy anon.

Chrono Cross is nowhere near as good.In fact few JRPG's come close to being as good as CT. It's a cruel world.
>>3486460
Secret of Mana is nowhere near in the same league. The gameplay, battle system, writing and level design are crap. Great music though.

I grew up with a SNES but didn't play chrono trigger until my senior year in high school on an emulator, back on 2008. And I loved every fucking second of it. So much, that I bought the DS remake when that came out. Hell, I'm gonna replay it again just because.

Its a decent game but probably wont satisfy as a true sequel. Its more of a spinoff that vaguely references CT. The gameplay is totally different but still good.

I'm pretty much done this game and I'm noticing how similar it is to ff9, or how much ff9 takes from this.

Chrono Trigger is one of my most favorite games. I never did play Radical Dreamers. I enjoyed Chrono Cross quite a bit, but of course I am a bit swayed by nostalgia to prefer Trigger and Cross is unable to live up to it. What system is the sequel to Chrono Cross on? I seemed to have missed out since I've kind of quit getting new games.

I want to start on Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes and Crono Trigger: Prophet's Guile sometime too when I get some time.

>>3486127
>Are there any other SNES RPGs that are this good?

Nope. This is it, bro. Thankfully the NG+ and time travel design make the game almost infinitely replayable - you can just keep going and going, searching for those alternate endings and finding new ways to go through the story. They really knocked this outta the park on the NDS port but a super Famicom is fine too.

Seriously though nothing else is even close. People will tell you that final fantasy 6 is as good but it's not even in the same league. Nothing is. CT is lightning in a bottle, once-a-decade tier video game.

Enjoy, friend!

The Final Fantasy games are honestly kind of better. They sure don't look as good, though. Especially if you play them back to back.

>>3489001
There are over 30 alternate endings!

>>3486535
It isn't a direct sequel. More like a spirit of Chrono, but very good too. In fact I balled like a little bitch at the end. Very sad.

>>3489160
It's fitting that you used Heidecker as your image. Because, as we all know, Tim sucks huge Hollywood dick, and is an enormous stain on comedy. Eric would do well to drop him entirely.

Let Magus live. He has the same goal as you and all he really did to Cyrus was kill his gay faggot friend who was too weak to defend himself.

I remember wanting it very badly when it first came out but nobody would buy it for me and I didn't get any kind of allowance or anything.

I wanted Earthbound too, but never got that either.

By the time I had money of my own I'd just forgotten about those games since I'd never played them.

No, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest is an entry level JRPG. Chrono Trigger is a good deal above that; and games only became more complex since then in the graphics.

Truly, triggerniggers are the new Earthbound fanbase.

Which time period should I face lavos? I went through Black Omen at A.D. 1000 and I can either face him there or A.D. 1999.

>>3489905
You only face Lavos in via the bucket or traveling directly to AD1999. What's important is when in the story you face him. Different sections of the story grant different endings

>>3489919
So when I beat Black Omen in 1000 it sends me to 1999?

>>3489464
>games only became more complex since then in the graphics
Chrono Trigger is in my top 5 favorite games, and you're wrong if you think this. You need to play way more JRPGs if you think Chrono Trigger's mechanics are complex.

Also, the depth of JRPG mechanics have increased as hardware limitations have decreased with each newer generation.

Chrono Trigger is a great game, but certainly not for those reasons.

>>3489926
Nope, you are never sent to 1999 by anything but your own volition. Be it the Epoch or the bucket.

In fact, you can clear Black Omen multiple times if you want. I don't know if you have to do it in the future and work your way back or if it stays in each timezone regardless of order, not played it in years.

>>3489464
Are you fucking retarded? Yes, I understand the meme that Mystic Quest was made by Americans because JRPGs at the time were too 'hardcore' for the USA. Fun fact: CT is literally easier than MQ.

Like seriously, line up the numbers and variables. CT is actually difficult to be bad at.

>>3490035
You have to do it in reverse order. If you beat it in the past, it won't exist in the future, and all that.

t. fag who knows entirely too much about CT, but still recognizes it as baby tier

What is the best version of CT? I only played the SNES one.

>>3490167
DS has a better translation and a couple of shitty extra dungeons. I like Woolsey, so SNES is my shit.

Geez, is there a JRPG that isn't an anime in disguise?

>>3490425
It's still a great and memorable game though.

>>3490425
No? What exactly are you expecting from the genre? That's like asking if there's any good Western RPGs that aren't AD&D in disguise.

>>3490425
Yes, but you wouldn't like them, and most of the good ones are JP only anyway.

I mean, as a fellow oldfag I hear what you're saying, but how would a young person get exposure to it unless they were specifically looking up old RPGs, accidentally played the DS game, or saw it on YouTube?

>>3490062
>Fun fact: CT is literally easier than MQ.Like seriously, line up the numbers and variables. CT is actually difficult to be bad at.

So it's like... you can play it and enjoy it for the story and the setting and the detailed world, and never need to grind for hours so you can beat dungeon #297 to progress the story? Because CT is one of the only two RPGs I played that could be played like that (the other being Panzer Dragoon Saga).

>>3492557

You are now aware that some people hate CT precisely because there is no grinding.

>>3492860
Well technically you can still grind if you want to learn all magic attacks (the conveyer belt in... Geno Dome, I think, is the best place for farming, since chrono and magus can 1 shot nearly everything with lightning 2).

Plus you have extra endings.

But the thing is... the difficulty curve is set up in a way, so you never NEED to do that.

>>3486535
Chrono Cross is not bad. It just gets a lot of hate because it's a 8/10 game where Chrono Trigger is 10/10. Taken on it's own, it's a really good JRPG.

>>3494093
the fact remains that CC and CT are thematically very different. you could easily sever the connections and make CC its own game in its own universe, and it would've been a better game had they done so.

Personally found Radiant Historia to be better time travel story with superior characters, better art, superior music and arguably better combat system the fact that CT has best ATB doesn't change that is one of the worst combat systems in JRPG.

On snes:
there is always Tactics Ogre for when you need to have your dose of good storytelling with actually interesting fights.
