I get that it’s influential to the entire genre. But to me it’s kind of like how Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. I get that it influenced a lot of things but I simply don’t understand how people can still say it’s some amazing game.Earthbound gets love though. People still beg Nintendo to this day to port Mother 3. There’s like an entire sub genre of indie games inspired by it.
Chrono Trigger is unique because it’s one of a kind. We never really got a true sequel to it and all the people involved with it broke off and worked on other classic rpg series. I feel like every popular rpg series that exist today has some roots tied back to Chrono
