I’ve recently been on an old school RPG kick and picked up Chrono Trigger which is a phenomenal game. Any other suggestions on similar games?

    When does Chrono Trigger really start to get good? I’ve tried to play it a few times but it never fully holds me.

      For me? As soon as I power on the SNES. For most folks I know? After you complete the intro (festival).

      For me it got good as soon as I went through the first time portal.
      It got great at the second visit to the past.
      It became immortal at the first visit to the dark ages.

      I find the first visit to the future to be a slog for the most part, although it has one of the strongest scenes in the game. Power through that segment and it gets better in a hurry.

      Also, don’t play Chrono Trigger with the sound off until you can play the soundtrack in your head. The soundtrack doesn’t gently suggest atmosphere like a modern game. It sets the tone for the scene.
