Customer Reviews:

astonishing deal that you simply shouldn't pass up

Even though that most people will overlook this game because it's a PlayStation game that's a re-release of a 16-bit game during a time when we've already moved on to the 128-bit generation, if you're an RPG fan that has yet to play either of these classics, it's a must-have title. With the multiple endings and fantastical game design and lovable characters, Chrono Trigger alone is worth the full price of admission. Add in Final Fantasy IV and you have an astonishing deal that you simply shouldn't pass up. Jody Bissoon

Final Fantasy Chronicles Review

both classic games and EXTREMELY FUN. again if you want more original graphics then go for this one. but Final Fantasy IV will be coming out for the DS really soon. with revamped graphics and some new attributes for the characters. i don't know if they are planning to do the same for Chrono Trigger, but it doesn't matter cause they are both amazing as is.

No Surprises

Chrono Trigger is one of my favorite games of all time. I purchased this set just for the PSX remake of Chrono Trigger with the added animated cut scenes. If you have the SNES version of Chrono Trigger this isn't really necessary unless you really like the game. Fun: 5 stars, Overall: 4 stars (just because FF IV is included and I didn't really want it).

Chrono Trigger and FF 4 - excellent old school rpgs

Chrono Trigger's is a great game albiet the very dated graphics. For me, the story, characters and battles were interesting enough to balance out the uninteresting graphics. If you like old school RPGs, you need chrono trigger! But there are weird 8 second lags before and after battles that I personally could be patient enough for but some may not be.. so beware.
Pros
+Fun.
+No nonsense fluff, just good old school rpg fun
+Good story
+good characters
+interesting time travel concept
battles that take place directly on the field map, while still being turn based.

Cons
+those 5 second "new" animates scenes are nothing to be excited about, they are short and there are few of them and they dont contribute much, just reiterate stuff..
+the delays before and after each battle, can get anoying.

FFIV was a worthwhile game as well, though it requires some serious grinding at times to progress, which I hate.
