Review: Chrono Trigger

We seem to have reached the age where life stops giving us things and starts taking them away.”

LOL

ain’t that the truth. but guess what. with time travel, you can just restore everything that got taken. like my metallica black cd in 1991. i even knew the thief he was a bully of mine and i said i know you took it and he just said “so” like he was daring me to go tell. i just went home and listened to use your illusions instead. oh well. guns and roses was cool back then so it was fine. axl loves reggae so he is still cool too.

anyways, with time travel u can right the wrongs of the past and even be friends with a cool frog along the way. that’s why today’s review is Chrono Trigger.

i know time only travels forward but what if u got a do over thanks to some quantum leap style scenario? would u refuse to ask melanie to the dance even tho u will always wonder if she would say yes? and maybe alter the time flow in your favor? perhaps u could mr. destiny things so that u didnt take the swing so now when your 46 again things wont feel so awful inside bc your afraid of everything haha. just thoughts on mr. destinying ur life to be good and not bad hahaha.
i guess that is the opposite of mr destiny. maybe im thinking of mr. baseball that was a good movie too.

So what makes chrono trigger so special? it has great graphics, perfect music, a fun story where u alter the time flow to save the world, cool characters and even some cute characters. and many swords and magics and villains.

but what makes me like the game so much is you can go back to the past and change something small then go back to the present right after you do it and see how your change affected life in the present. very cool. and the art was designed by the dragons balls guy, so thats’ awesome too.

the art is drawn by akira torayama and its gorgeous. in the present day some people choose to draw them without shoes and i dont have a official opinion on that because i get enough hate mail already.

some days i wish i could get my grubby hands on the epoch time flyer from chrono trigger and zip my way back to the early 90s.

i could hang out with all my buds again (if i took the form of my younger self, in this mind scenario i do) watch some are you afraid of the darks, eat bagel bites, rock out to iron maiden while whipping byron’s ass so hard at street fighter 2 that he tears the shit out of his bedroom while screaming again lmao.

but most importantly i would tell myself DO NOT ask melanie to dance!!!! because my heart would break the same way it did during my first viewing of UNTAMED HEART starring marissa tomei and christian slater when i was 14 and i cried really hard when he died at the end of a bad heart. just like how it felt inside when melaney laughed at me. haha. and when i was done fixing that mistake of the past i could just chill with mom and dad because then we would be basically adults and i could see if we would have been buddies.

and i would avoid having a w*t dream on the living room floor while we were all watching Roseanne one evening in 1990 and when i woke up my parents faces were like stone carvings. you could have bounced a brick off em swear to god.

why does living have to be so weird on planet earth sometimes i feel just like mr. baseball when he first got to japan and everything felt out of place and strange.

sorry i had a wet dre*m on the living room floor when i was 13 mom and dad sorry you had to pretend everything was normal when i woke up. oh god mr baseball please help me go back and fix this.

so that is the tale of chrono trigger, the game that came out in 1995. i pre-ordered it at the local game store and ended up becoming life long buds with the guy who worked there which was cool. and the cool thing about friends is you never have to tell them about what you did on the floor in 1990 while the family was watching Roseanne. you dont have to tell anyone and i never will.

even though accidents happen, according to your therapist last week when you brought it up because once again you were crying over it but this time it was because she asked if u had any good memories of living at home. and that accidents arent anyones fault but u did see her lip twitch a bit to keep herself from laughing so you tell me who is to blame here.

time is wildly complex so here is a diagram of how it works.

That is why my official score of the classic Tape of Chrono Trigger is 10/10. Because it give me hope that one day i can either travel backward to restore my lost spine or be destroyed by a time paradox either way the slate gets wiped lmao

damn just listen to the corridors of time music! and imagine me keeping my mouth shut when melanie laughed at her friends joke and my heart leaped to my throat lmao because that will fix this time slip and then i can be the hero…of my own life.

LMAO
