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?
It remains, to this day, one of my very favorite games of all time. Top tier story, characters, gameplay mechanics, and musical score. Not to mention almost infinitely replayable. So much value packed into a single purchase. Enjoy!
The official mobile port is well done. I know it wasn't always the case but after some past updates I haven't had any issues with it. I picked it up on Google Play and it was worth the $8 I paid.
I just started playing this the other night. Was one of those games as a kid I wanted to buy but for whatever reason I never did. Amazing so far.
I played through Chrono Trigger multiple times as a teenager. It's a fantastic game for sure.
People are mentioning all the ones I would have added already. Maybe also the Dragon Quest series, but I haven't played any recent ones.
Also if you can stand a mobile gacha (also a Steam version) one of the writers of Chrono Trigger & Cross started the game Another Eden that is kind of a spiritual successor - gorgeous graphics, fantastic music, and yes some pretty nice storyline as well (mixed in with crap but you can't win them all:-D). Like... one of the main characters is basically Frog! 🐸 (Another is essentially Lucca, and Robo, and Marle, etc.)
@Xylinna Chrono Trigger also had New Game+, which basically created the term for RPGs. I played another JRPG long before Chrono Trigger, where enemies was visible on the playfield in dungeons: the infamous Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (fantastic soundtrack BTW).
