I feel the same way. Loved it as a teen. Possibly because the characters were just like teenagers.
It’s pretty cringe as a 38 year old trying to play through them again. And I definitely am not going to play for the gameplay. Even as a teen, I only played these for the stories because the combat is boring as fuck.
And yet… Nostalgia hits like crazy. And, uh, Chrono Trigger still holds up, unlike most Final Fantasies.
Edit: Final Fantasy 7’s remake is still kinda cringe with the dialogue and made for teens, but the gameplay is so different and there is also a cool twist going on with the story that it’s actually more fun than the original to me, and I loved it when it was new.
Chrono Trigger is an absolute classic ♥ even today it’s still one of my favorite SNES games, along with Secret of Mana, Lufia, Terranigma and A Link to the Past. I still replay some of these every other year.
