4.0 out of 5 stars Still a Great Game, December 2, 2005

I only bought this for Chrono Trigger, since my copy of the original SNES game is unfortunately long gone. It is still an awesome game--classic and magnificent, but there are just two little things that can potentially irritate one enough to stop playing. The first is the FMVs. This is entirely a matter of opinion--some people love the art for the FMVs. I am not one of them. I find the artwork on the FMVs rather ugly. And there is one scene, right around when Queen Zeal summons Lavos (for the sake of storyline I will not explain it further), where there is text left untranslated (though by the context it is easy enough to figure out what is probably being said). Fortunately, none of the original game is cut out, so you still see all the scenes as they were in the SNES, in addition to the FMVs.

The other thing is loading time. It's ridiculous. Wait a few seconds before battles start, and wait a few more when they end (which is really "fun" in some sections of the game when you have a lot of battles in a row). Then opening the menu or switching party members takes even more time. In the context of how many seconds it is, it sounds insignificant, but in the video game world, these transitions should be seamless. It is unfortunate that this problem exists. Not even the rom version for your computer does this.

I recommend that, unless you really love the previews you've seen of the new artwork, you play the original SNES game if you can. I prefer this version over the rom, because I dislike playing video games with a keyboard, but you can get a controller to hook into one of your USB ports if you believe this lag time will be a significant irritation and you can't get your hands on the original game.

But despite all that, this is still Chrono Trigger, and therefore the most fun RPG ever made. And since it's so much less expensive than the original game, it's quite worth considering buying this product, even if you only want one game from it like me.

I bought this game for Final Fantasy IV. I first notice the game when I remembered it from the SNES version as Final Fantasy II. This game is one of my favorite classics. I played it all the time on SNES when I was younger and I am still playing it to this day. There is alot I like about FFIV such as the battle music, the short cinema's they added, and especially the plot.

Thanks for providing quick an acurate service. I didn't expect this shipment to get to my house this fast but those guys and gals at the Post Office seem to be doing an outstanding job. The 2 games purchased took me back to the days when video games were simplier and had outstanding soundtracks. All you old Super Nintendo lovers out there check these games out.
