  Fellas you don’t need to buy a 30-year-old game

    Why not? It’s better than a lot of recent games.

      The game is 30 years old. It should be in the public domain at this point. No one who worked on the original team is going to profit from this at all. It’s not immoral to download a ROM for this game and play it for free. And with save states etc.

      It’s just your best option honestly. There is no moral or practical reason to pay money for this product.

    Agreed, especially for $8 no less. And square enix has enough money.

    Conversely, it’s worth buying to support sales to encourage SE to make more ports if this is your thing.

  How’s this port?

    Good, worth the price. There were bug fixes after a rocky start and is based off the DS version. Other reviews will say the DS version is a “definitive version” because:

    • It includes cutscenes from the PlayStation release.
    • Includes bonus content and a new ending.

    The PC and DS versions also feature a new English translation. Fans of the original (i.e. me) will notice the difference, but I don’t think it’s a substantial one.

      It includes cutscenes from the PlayStation release.

      I don’t know how many people will agree with me, but I never liked the Chrono Trigger out-of-game art at all – the characters have a kind of Dragon Ball Z appearance to them that I never liked much (didn’t like the DBZ series, either), and the cutscenes appear to be done in that art style. The in-game Chrono Trigger graphics I’m fine with, though.

      And it’s not because I dislike Square’s out-of-game art of the time. Yoshitaka Amano’s Final Fantasy VI concept art is pretty distinctive and famous, and I love the Secret of Mana promo art.

      The DS bonus content is pretty crap though...

      Makes you realize just how tight the original game is because the new stuff didn't have the same tight design.

      There's a Chrono trigger+ out there that restores cut content and adds a new time period to an original ROM, it's done much better imo.

      Eh, it’s a 30 year old game and a 5 year old port, I doubt much has changed since that video was released.

  ROMs. Chrono Trigger works great on emulators.

• turkalino@lemmy.yachts ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Any reason to play on Steam instead of ROM + emulator?

  source

  • sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You’d own a legal copy, and it’s about as good as the DS version without the weird DS emulation (multiple screens).

  what’s Chrono Trigger?

  source

  • tal@lemmy.today ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s a JRPG that originally came out for the Super Nintendo; it was generally considered one of the best games on that platform.

      It’s also still generally considered the top JRPG among genre fans.

      The game has a knack for being both accessible to newcomers and still being revered by experienced players.

  …I’ve already bought this game a bunch, but why not have another avenue in playing it? Truthfully I’ll still probably play the SNES version.

  • Aggravationstation@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Any device capable of running the Steam version is more than capable of running the SNES version for free.

      Is this your first time playing it? Or, like many people, at least 10th playthrough.
