Is Chrono Trigger the greatest JRPG ever?

You can definitely make the argument that it is.
when someone says chrono trigger is the goat you gotta treat it as a valid opinion 
game is essentially flawless
still replayable today
its not even 'hard' to adjust either. still amazing

Basically this, it's why imo it is the GOAT. I don't feel like you can say that about any other game.when someone says chrono trigger is the goat you gotta treat it as a valid opinion

The only other game I would put close is MGS, but that kinda ended on a "cliff hanger" not completely but enough to were you knew more games were coming.
Also I'd put mass effect up there but it took 2 games for what Chrono trigger nailed in 1.
Chrono trigger is a complete experience, with crazy replayability.
I still haven't really experienced anything in a game like the trial of Chrono early on. It was one of the most mind blowing experiences for me. I played that scene over and over to see the different results.
basically
i got plenty of favorites (xenogears, front mission 3, etc) - but chrono trigger nails everything
synergies in combat is something that games can't do as well decades later. content for days. dope cast. quality storytelling. locations and themes on point. classic soundtrack
I definitely think they are more replayable too.
I know what you mean. There are games that are more complex, have deeper stories, or something but they just don’t have that master touch of CT that makes it infinitely repeatable and never feel like a drag.
Even some of my favorite RPG experiences have lulls or weird mechanics to get through.
it's one of the GOATs.
I stay having this on 10 hour repeat, especially to go to sleep:

forgot the often overlooked Wild Arms
I wonder why haven't Square just decided to make a remake of this game. It would work fine.

"nikkas want my old shyt, buy my old album."
Right?
Now this is the type of game id want arc system to work on.
Give me that Dragon ball fighters/ guilty Gear art work in a 2d/3d Chrono trigger looking game with ff7RE combat and whatever team did ff7RE music and I'm on board. (With the option for simple old school ATB)
The only problem is Chrono trigger is as close to perfect as a game gets. A remake of it would have be just straight up graphical improvements, combat and music and making it available to a current gen.
Ff7 a remake made since because the game ages really bad... But 2d graphics are basically timeless
I guess they could go the same route as FF7RE and have it different but similar. Probably would make even more since to do it that way story wise with Chrono triggers theme.
Idk, I almost say it's one game that you just tuck away and never touch.
Remake Chrono cross and clean that up, do another sequel but CT might be that game you put in the trophy case and leave on display
