I would lose the count of how many times I have read praises (well deserved) for Chrono Trigger, and it only makes me feel bad with myself because I left it unfinished (I am close to the 1st ending... I think) because I was lost all the damn time and needed a guide to move forward, something that I really don't enjoy, and I didn't have too many gaps while playing it to be fair.
I enjoy RPGs and jRPGs, even when they are not my favorite genres, but I don't like to feel lost all the time.
Now, it should be obvious that I didn't play this game back in its day, my last game session was about a year ago in my DSi XL (arguably the best way to experience it) so I have 0 nostalgia googles about it, although I am a Toriyama fan and I loved the art style, graphics and music, it is only the pace and the narrative that didn't caught me completely...
I know I shouldn't force myself to finish it as gaming is a hobby after all, but damn, I really want to complete it, at least one playthrough lol (I don't like to leave stuff unfinished).
If anyone has tips to not feel lost all the damn time (aside of not stop playing for a brief time) I am all ears.
Unfortunately it's a thing when going back to older games after being living in the map marker era for so long. This is a big part of why games back then came with annotated maps so you'd at least have a reference for all the locations.
I'd say at the minimum, don't be afraid to pull up maps and take notes.
For me it is not even having a quest log. Some sidequests are just someone hinting something could or should be done.
Jeez, this is totally it!
Thanks for putting it in simpler words for me 😅
Definitely gonna check in taking notes.
When playing classics, http://gamefaqs.com/ is your best friend. Guides were how we played games back then.
You're not the only one. I've beaten The 7th Saga more times than Chrono Trigger lol.
I love Chrono Trigger, but as far as SNES goes, Final Fantasy 6 and Secret of Mana 2 (or Trials of Mana or whatever we're calling it now) both beat it for me.
I didn't know about this game, but honestly it is so good that others experience the same as I, of course I don't think that I am the only one in the world that Chrono Trigger is not for him (not even sure about this myself), but definitely is so scarce to read comments of people struggling with the title compared with praises for it gets!
