A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

Live-A-Live is probably the best game similar to Chrono Trigger since the whole non-random battles element came from there (and the SaGa titles). That and several of the team members that worked on Live-A-Live worked on Chrono Trigger. Also, the whole OST is by Yoko Shimomura, the lady who did the osts for;

  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Street Fighter II
  • Super Mario RPG
  • Legend of Mana

The Remaster is well worth it and fixes a lot of RNG issues that the original SFC version had.
