What the hell is a Chrono Trigger?

I never owned a SNES growing up. Well actually, that’s a lie. We had a SNES for a very brief period. I remember having Super Mario World on it. Maybe there were other games, but I was very young, and by the time I could remember it our SNES was at the end of its life and the console itself was being pushed out in favor of the N64 and PlayStation.

Of course, looking back, I realized just how much I was missing. The SNES is a fantastic system. Amazing, really. It looks and sounds great to this day, the games are nice (yet still glitchy, which I love), and there’s just so much nostalgia associated with them.

I don’t know WHEN my brother and sister introduced me to emulators. I was still in middle school, probably just about to go into high school. My sister downloaded several games, then told me to play and beat FF6.

Quite frankly, at this point I was so used to the 3D Final Fantasies (I think we had recently purchased 10, but it wasn’t new per se) that I didn’t give a damn about 6. I see now that was stupid. But the point was that instead of playing FF6, I played ANOTHER game. Chrono Trigger.

I was in love.

Yeah, sure, it was kind of goofy and silly and ridiculous for teenage me. Yeah sure I wasn’t good at it. Giga Gaia ate me repeatedly. But I LOVED it. The music. The story. The characters. The sense of grief in 2300 A.D.. Everything about it was fantabulous.

My brother and sister found Chrono Cross at a GameStop. I loved that, too. I had no bloody clue what was going on, but it was amazing. I beat both games more times than I care to count.

By this point, I was a rabid fan. I owned CTDS for about a year and played through it with reckless abandon. I actually gave it as a gift to a friend, but god dammit it was so worth it. I’ve actually got a poster in my room, and have been meaning to hang a Chrono Cross plaque that I received for Christmas. Hell, I even PLAY Crono. … oh, crap, I’m still logged into my RP account aren’t I…

Not only that, but my writing has been influenced by Chrono and the other games in the series. Plot ideas, characters, adventures, etc.. It all comes back to a SNES emulator and a gigantic space porcupine.

Thank you for posting your random chrono stuff daily, it makes my day! It is and always has been my favorite game.
