I've done just about everything and I'm just about to take on Lavos.
I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it's my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).
My notes on my experience this time around.
- so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
- the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
- I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
- the music in Zeal still slaps
- CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
- graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.
I honestly was shocked by how well it has held up. If you had told me this was like an indie game released this year I would have believed it.
I think my highlights were the trial (when I realized the game was keeping track of what I was doing) and the Robo/Fiona mission. I really liked the side-missions as well.
