This RPG is simply amazing. If you dont like RPGs or dont want to play a modern overly complicated RPG, but are curious of RPGs then you might want to give Chrono Trigger a try. Its the gateway RPG.
The game play alone has just the right balance of simplicity with some layers of complexity to be interesting and fun to play.
The story is captivating to say the least, with interesting characters you actually care for, which is strange since they are just 16 bit pixels.
The music and sound still holds up very very well; I find myself humming the music while Im at work. The SNES had superior sound processing back in the day, and Square took the music score very seriously back then, which is why its still so good today.
My only gripes are the inconsistency of Squares Enixs iOS releases being universal apps vs for iPhone only. For 10 dollars, it should have an iPad version also included. But that said, playing it on the iPad as expanded still looks and works pretty well. An upscaled version would be good for iPad and well deserved for this game in particular. Also, it seems like there is about a one month gap where you cant fully experience the complete game when iOS gets its yearly update. Some things break after the update, and it takes Square some time to allocate their iOS guys to band aid it for the year. Same applies to secret of mana which I requested (and received) a refund for the non-start issue. For the premium prices they charge, and we willingly pay as this library is a money printer, Square should be anticipating the differences in iOS versions and updating the code
during the beta period so there are no breaks in the gaming experience for the customer.
