Chrono Trigger isn't really impressing. Did FFVII-FFIX ruin JRPG's for me?
I didn't have any love for Chrono Trigger by the time I got to it. No game is for everyone.
What's your opinion on Chrono Cross

It was mainly a joke on how 80% of the soundtrack of IX was remixes of V's OST.
How wrong am I?
80% of IX's soundtrack is remixes of its own themes. I'm not sure where V comes into play.
Even the music is kind of bizarre - solemn map music or dramatic scenes, suddenly jolted into excitable fights, with a goofy fanfare and then back to solemn or dramatics. The tone is all over the place.
FFVI just doesn't hold up too well these days, whereas CT does. Don't write off every JRPG just yet because of one badly aged title.
? Why is that? Most late SNES RPG hold fairly well today, especially compared to some early PS1 stuff. Unless you really hate random encounters.
BTW try Dragon Quest and we can start to talk about classics
Well his lost after allReally doubt TC would like any DQ game based on his posts in this thread.

The argument that a SNES RPG hasn't aged well is just ridiculous. Most video games "don't age well."
Any playthrough of a retro game today has to have the mentality behind it of experiencing it for what it was back when it was originally released. You almost have to put yourself into a certain mindset.
A SNES RPG has sprites that don't convey very much emotion? So did every other SNES RPG.
At times a corny translation that causes disparate tones in particular parts? Welcome to the early 90s.
A style that's hard to determine at times whether or not to take it seriously? Hello, 90s JRPGs.
If you don't like it, you don't like it, but holding any game from the early 90s to our standards in 2017 is just asking for disappointment.
That said: Final Fantasy VI is the greatest RPG of all time.

It is better not starting to post absolutely timeless FFVI tracks hereThe fuck
I prefer FFVI to CT but CT has Corridors of Time, probably the single best vg tune of that decade.
FFVI probably doesn't age as well as FF6
But
I spent literally the entire thread comparing it to a contemporary of its time, Chrono Trigger
???
You lost me here.
No way dude, Aria di Mezzo Carattere is the best song in a videogame ever, and the opera scene is the most memorable of any videogame.
Random encounters is a big one if nothing else. Grid based movements is also a more objectively dated design. I can't think of anything comparable in CT.

FFVI probably doesn't age as well as FF6, but it broke a lot of new ground that led to stuff considered standard in FF and RPGs in general today. Limit breaks, (extremely) non-linear 2nd half while maintaining a story, a large and diverse cast with actual backstories, hidden playable characters, a villain who actually succeeds, a lot of that stuff just wasn't around prior.
It's fine to like CT more cause it's an amazing game, but you better give FF6 respect if nothing else.
So did Lavos... He destroyed civilization in Prehistory, in Antiquity, and in 1999 A.D.
Kefka's reign didn't even last a year, lol.

There is a lot more personality with Kefka's Reign and treatment than Lavos which is more treated like "the ultimate bad guy" more than anything else... It's very shonesque now that i think about it.
I played both CT and FFVI recently and enjoyed FFVI more.FFVI just doesn't hold up too well these days, whereas CT does. Don't write off every JRPG just yet because of one badly aged title.
