The Chrono Trigger Paradox: A Myriad of Misconceptions | Stiles Chrono Synopsis
148Well here it finally is, long overdue, my in-depth look at what many consider to be an RPG Classic: Chrono Trigger. While I agree that it is a good game, the fact that it rarely gets analyzed in any way other than glowing praise has always bothered me, because it does have a number of issues, that I, of course, detail in the video. Issues with how the game gets its own Time Travel Wrong, and how the combat mechanics are not at all polished. It's fine if you disagree with me, but try to keep the discussion civil yeah? All reviews are opinions, no matter what someone tries to tell you. Even if you disagree with my opinion, if you can argue it intelligently I will be incredibly happy.

* 'Comparitively' Is not a word. but 'Comparatively' is. Don't edit at 4 A.M. Kids!
*Had a great comment about how my information on CRT monitors is incorrect. I stand by the rest of my statement, and will likely continue using filters, but when you get a fact wrong, you get a fact wrong, and I have no shame in admitting that. Thanks Avalanche Reviews!
