REVIEW: Chrono Trigger PS1

So I just beat Chrono Trigger for the first time. I really liked it.
For you who don't know of it, Chrono Trigger is a RPG by Square who is most famous for the Final Fantasy series.
It was first released on Super Nintendo in 1995 and later ported to the Playstation in 1999.
I have the PS1 version in a compilation called "Final Fantasy Chronicles" together with Final Fantasy IV, and I know that it's consider to be worse then the SNES version because of the loading times, and yes that is the main fault with this game.
It loads every time you want to go to the status screen, and also when you want to change characters.
But I really like the Anime scenes the have put in.
Looks really nice.

Compared to Final Fantasy I find this to be a little easier. No random attacks on world map and you see most enemies so you can just avoid them if you like. Not suggested thou because you need to level up, but it's good to have the option. At least when you are backtracking and fighting low level enemies just gets annoying.

I also like the humour in it. A lot of jokes, some very silly but I always like a bad joke every now and then.

All in all. A very good game that I recommend. Not as good as Final Fantasy IV but not far from it.
I will try and grab a SNES copy in the future but it is quite expensive, around $100, and it was only released in the US and Japan.
But you can also find it on Nintendo Virtual Console, Nintendo DS about, Playstation Network and even on mobile.

I payed about $17 including shipping to Norway for mine so you can get it with out spending $100.
