The end boss was surprisingly difficult, and yes, I had to look up a walkthrough (I cheated!) to get past The Black Omen and the final bosses (0:00). As a filthy casual, story-driven gamer, I skipped the necessary grinding (2:20). Despite needing a guide at the end, I can confirm: Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest games ever, easily a top 5 game for me, even surpassing my previous favorite, Final Fantasy 7 (10:17). Why Chrono Trigger is the Perfect Mental Health Tool: Emotional Connection (5:26): The pixel art, music, and story writing are so compelling that I got completely lost in the game and attached to the characters. Notifications OFF (6:00): Playing on the Anbernic RG35XX Plus helped me get away from constant email and Slack/Teams notifications. As a freelancer, it’s hard to ignore my phone, so a dedicated device is essential for a true mental reset (11:09). Easy to Drop (8:08): Unlike randomized battle games like Final Fantasy 7, seeing the enemies in Chrono Trigger makes it less stressful and easier to stop playing instantly when I only have 10-20 minutes to reset my brain before returning to work (8:17). I'm now hoping I secured the "Ending Plus" which allows me to replay the game with all my levels and gear (4:56)! What Should I Play Next? (12:01) I need your recommendations for my next story-driven retro game! I prefer games that are "on rails" or hold my hand a bit. Final Fantasy 6 is often recommended, but I'm intimidated by its size (12:23). Let me know your top picks below! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - I finished Chrono Trigger!
