It doesn't really matter if we agree about Chrono Trigger or not, I only used that game to illustrate my philosophy, that I rank games depending on the emotional impact they have on me, according to various aspects (system, graphics, sound, story, cover art, whatever). In Chrono Trigger the combined effect of sound, story, graphics, system or cover art (lol) weren't good enough for me to rate it as masterpiece. I did love the music and graphics though, like I explained in my previous post. I won't bore you with my analysis of Chrono Trigger's system, just that I regard those of X-Com, Civilization and Langrisser higher (though I like CT and, for instance Shining Force II, better from a purely aesthetical perspective). Let's stay on topic here.
