Chrono Trigger was re-released on the Sony Playstation along with Final Fantasy IV in a
game called Final Fantasy Chronicles.
Two of the most beloved games in PlayStation history come together in one awesome package in FINAL FANTASY CHRONICLES. Teaming FINAL FANTASY IV and CHRONO TRIGGER, Square Electronic Arts presents this masterful collection that's aimed at fans of the original games and new gamers alike. Both games boat a variety of fresh features that will keep series devotees interested, and CHRONO TRIGGER even has a new beginning and ending. The new sequences shed some light on the game's cryptic story, giving gamers added insight into the mystery surrounding the action in the sequel CHRONO CROSS. Although it's packed with monsters and magic, this version of CHRONO TRIGGER also features innovative modes, such as Theater, Music Box, and Art Gallery. Enhancements to FINAL FANTASY IV include a speedier trip through some of the game's towns, as well as a new Two-Player mode. Classics on their own, these two games are even better side-by-side.
Showcasing enhanced versions of the Super Nintendo classics Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Chronicles is a must-have "retro" bundle for the serious role-playing game fan. Originally released in the U.S. in 1991 as Final Fantasy II, the groundbreaking Final Fantasy IV introduced the "Active Time Battle" combat system that has since become a staple in the series. In addition to new computer animation sequences and minor gameplay enhancements, this reissue sports a new dialogue translation that is more faithful to the Japanese version and fleshes out the previously pared-down story of a conflicted knight and his quest for redemption.
Although not as well known as Final Fantasy IV--and not even part of the Final Fantasy series, for that matter--1995's Chrono Trigger is a nonlinear adventure game where players must travel across time to save a princess (and the world in the process). New Japanese cartoon cutscenes from animator Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragonball Z) grace the updated Chrono Trigger, and an extras mode (filled with game-related goodies that must be unlocked) has been added, increasing the already high replay value of this title with multiple endings.
