After I learned about this connection with the change in the criminal justice system, I realize that if Marle had grown up in the evil kingdom in the alternate timeline, she likely would have become a different person.

@@Xygor I played it last year (well 2 years ago now) during the summer for the first time. I never really grew up with the game or anything, hell the game’s older than I am. But eventually finding this game was a chain reaction of found love for JRPGs when I played Octopath Traveler’s demo a few years ago. That was the game that got me into JRPGs and eventually lead me to final fantasy and then Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger's story and lore is so fascinating! I love the idea of a "perfect Utopian world" that is considered to be literally and figuratively above those that are unworthy. Combine that with an ultra powerful alien bent on feeding off of the world & destroying it, along with time traveling, with each timeline having their own plights, struggles, wars, celebrations, and full-fledged story. The game combines sci-fi, fantasy, and apocalypse all into an RPG that was released nearly 25 years ago. The way each timeline interwoven is within each other is brilliant! Not to mention the game-play, music, side-quests, and even multiple endings?!? I wish I had this game as a kid, I first played it on a DS while traveling to California for the first time, which is a memory I'll have for the rest of my life. I know I went on a tangent, but this game is just such a masterpiece. How can a single game have so many elements and genres, and pull it all off so perfectly? The sheer amount of times the game blew my mind with areas and shocking reveals and the huge scope of attempting to prevent an apocalyptic end to the world, it is absolutely crazy! In one game you travel to prehistoric times, a far off past with futuristic technology mixed with magic, medieval times, modern times, and an apocalyptic dystopian future. Usually i'm very critical of time traveling to fix the future, as I find it an uninspiring & overdone trope, but Chrono Trigger pulls it off perfectly, and is probably the only case where I love using time traveling as a concept. Perhaps it was a pretty new concept in 1995, but I first played the game in 2010-ish, so I was so over time travel by then, and yet Chrono Trigger blew me away like no other. Kudos to everyone who worked on the game, and to Xygor Gaming for this fantastic video showcasing the complete Chrono Trigger Story! Definitely going to subscribe!

Every character has a backstory and that each side quest allows you to find closure for all the characters in the party. The whole idea that Magus was seen as this dark lord but was Janus trying to kill Lavos this whole time and Crono actually died but was saved.

Most memorable thing to me is how short the game was. An experienced that sits with you forever yet very short. And where lots and lots of your choices do do things. Like if you did not know to make noise in the cell after the trial Luca will come and free you after the time passes. Just little touches like that make repeat plays mean so much more. The one that teaches you magic having several looks depending on your power, including one very hard to see as you'll likely be to strong, getting clones for every character.. hell the fact that this was one of the first games with new game +. This game was special, and you could plow through it in less then a day, but the experiences will live with you forever. And of course, "To Faraway Times"

The entity that wanted Crono and his friends to experience all of this was... Nu. All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. You see they play important roles throughout the story, and they would know the key events in the timeline. Did you know Spekkio's final form (when the player reaches level 99) is Nu? Think about that, it's the End of Time. I think that connects Nu to the course of history. This is the truth. This is my belief. At least for now.

I'm not trying to dump all over you for not knowing Kana (why would you, if you don't study Japanese?), but since you clearly know nothing about this, you shouldn't speak so authoritatively about something about which you clearly know nothing. It's not wrong to not know, but it IS wrong to make claims when you should be fully aware you don't even know the very basics.

Thank you for this video. This is one of my favorite games ever. The one thing I question is the fate of Schala and Zeal in the original Lavos timeline. Her pendant is passed down through the generations, so it's reasonable to conclude she must have escaped the encounter at Ocean Palace. In the altered timeline, she uses the last of her power to teleport your party away to safety. If she has this power, it's reasonable to conclude that she used it in the original timeline to teleport herself and her mother out of the palace. There is no more Zeal and no Black Omen, so maybe all the Enlightened Ones no longer had access to magic and lived out their days on land free of the influence of Lavos?

Chrono Trigger, one of the few stories across any medium that i feel does time travel, as a story telling mechanic, justice. Such an amazing game with multiple endings depending on what you do as you traverse through time itself.

No piece of media, not a shred of entertainment, not one film ive ever seen, have ever come close to emotionally, and philosophically moving me and imprinting in my mind the way Chrono Trigger did and still to this day does. I've been waving the Chrono Trigger flag as the best game ever made since it released in 1995. I was 15 then. I'm now a 44 year old, married father of 3. And I simply cannot wait to show this game to my three children, along with Final Fantasies 1, 4, 6, 7, and 9, and also every Dragon Quest title I can find, Breath of Fire 2, Xenogears, Xenosaga, Crystals, etc etc. So many great JRPG titles I can share with my children, and I know that In playing them they will get better at reading, strategizing, learn ancient mythology, and have the time of their lives. Can't wait for the remake.
