I’ve recently been on an old school RPG kick and picked up Chrono Trigger which is a phenomenal game. Any other suggestions on similar games?

    One of the best RPGs ever made. I’d jump to either the Breath of Fire series, Wild Arms, or Suikoden. All are solid, though none quite as brilliant.

      I wish Wild Arms had an official mobile port. Such a great series with no modern IP usage to take advantage of its cult status.

        Best you can do for now is buy it on PlayStation store

          Anbernic RG35XX or similar… Should run flawlessly

      +1 for jumping to Suikoden II. If you love it you can check III and I

      EDIT: I tried the BoF and Wild Arms sagas years ago too. The one that stood the most to me was BoF4

      I played Wild Arms back in the day and I don’t remember too much about them although I did enjoy them all. Might be worth picking up again. Also, isn’t Suikoden getting a remake soon?

        Yes it is! The first 2 games. It’s kind of an odd situation where the 2nd game is kind of a remake-ish retelling of the first game, sort of like Final Fantasy or Zelda, where it is different characters but same themes. I just thought of 2 more I could recommend! Grandia and Live a Live. Both fit nicely in Chrono Trigger’s orbit, though none are quite as good. Live a Live just got a low up and re-release recently too.

          Director of Chrono Trigger, Takashi Tokita, directed Live a Live the year prior. Definitely a throughline there.

          I almost bought Live A Live at the last Steam sale but opted to pick up the Trails in the Sky series. I was a little hesitant since you don’t play with all characters.
