Chrono Trigger

Chrono Trigger is a role-playing game about a journey across time to save the planet’s future. After meeting Marle at Guardia’s Millennial Fair in Leene Square, Crono follows her through a dimensional rift to a world four centuries in the past. The adventure spans the present, the Middle Ages, the future, prehistory and ancient times, as well as the End of Time.

Story

At the fair, Crono and Marle visit a demonstration of the Telepod, an invention by Crono’s longtime friend Lucca. Marle volunteers to help, but a malfunction sends her through a dimensional rift. Crono takes her pendant and follows her, beginning a quest through different eras to protect the planet’s future.

Battle and abilities

Combat uses Active Time Battle Version 2: time continues to pass during battles, and you can issue a character’s commands when their gauge is full. Enemy positions change over time, so you choose actions according to the situation. Characters can use special Tech moves, including abilities and magic, and combine their powers in more than 50 distinct two- and three-character combo attacks.

Additional dungeons

The Dimensional Vortex is a mysterious, ever-changing dungeon outside space and time. The Lost Sanctum is reached through enigmatic gates in prehistoric and medieval times; meeting its challenges may reveal long-lost secrets.

Updated presentation

The graphics have been updated in higher resolution while retaining the atmosphere of the original. The music and sound have also been updated under the supervision of composer Yasunori Mitsuda. Controls have been updated for both gamepad and keyboard play, and progress saves automatically while you travel across the map, in addition to saving at save points or when choosing to quit from the menu.
