I played both for the first time about a year ago. Both were great games, but for me personally, Chrono Trigger wowed me more. I thought it was absolutely amazing, where I thought that FFVI was great….I played CT first, so maybe you should try FFVI first and see if you have the same results? Both are 100% must-play games, and you can’t go wrong with either.
Chrono Trigger - pace yourself. Ish is long and wonderful. only one part I would prefer to skip if i could the start of the prehistoric stuff its just slow imo
Thanks for the spoiler formatting (I didn’t click it).
Searches say the game takes around 25, maybe 40 hours? For me, that’s a standard length game. I have thousands of hours in WoW, 650+ in BG3, and even FF10 took me 200 hours back in the day.
40 hours would be skipping a LOT. i think first time, no guides for puzzles or extra, just exploring and backtracking (literally through time)...maybe 60? you could easily hit 60 or 70. if you liked BG3, and get the back tracking to zones for everyone's stories and items, you will get CT and enjoy it
CT is by far the best game around imo. Multiple storyline endings, some of the greatest and soulful music that sticks with you for DECADES. I STILL listen to CT music be ause of how good it is. Definitely do yourself a favor and try it out.
A word of advice, the "newer" versions of it on DS or Steam, have additional content that wasn't in the original SNES version. They also changed the iconic sound of Luminaire, one of the main powerful attacks, and i hate the new version's sound over the original. I prefer the true original version of the game so if you can get an SNES emulator to play it on, I highly recommend that version first. Then explore the 'newer' versions.
