They were even more likeable thanks to Akira Toriyama’s familiar character designs: Crono’s Goku-esque spiky hair, Lucca’s uncanny resemblance to Bulma, and Robo being a peaceful bird-loving artificial being like Android 16.Īnd then there’s Crono himself. Seeing all the good-hearted main characters trade barbs with one another feels familiar to me no different to when my friends and I would just hang out and joke around with one another. But despite the game’s fantastical nature, all the little fine details resonate with me in a way that Final Fantasy, Mario, Pokemon, and Zelda just aren’t able to.

Living in an isolated place where enjoyment was derived from whatever possible source was available (which in my case was games, Studio Ghibli movies, and Dragonball Z), the amusement park show was a huge deal for everyone living in the town. Nvidia has since confirmed the existence of the leaked list but said that it was merely speculative and not necessarily indicative of new games on the horizon-except that it seems to be pretty good at providing dates for new game releases.Playing through Chrono Trigger's introductory sequence is like rewatching my favourite childhood weekend unfolding in video game form.
