I see what you mean naztips. I still play Chrono Trigger to this day with great enjoyment, but is hard to say if it's because it was my first JRPG or because I actualy thought it was an awsome game. Most of my friends like it, but not as much as I do, so I thought maybe I have "first-time-JRPG-playing-bias".

I think it has more to do with the fact that Chrono Trigger was revolutionary back then.  However, because of FFVII selling millions in the West, there were more and more JRPGs coming to the West which slowly killed the novelty of the uniqueness.  Many of the cliches in JRPGs these days were started by games lik Chrono Trigger.

 

it's funny you should say that, cause I feel that CT has more uniqueness in its characters than most games (not just JRPGs) today...
