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.

 

Well, Chrono Trigger was revolutionary even for the East, i can tell because we have a strong Asian community and they brought the FAMICOM, the Super FAMICOM, the Megadrive, etc., and with all the games (Because of that i had the privilege to play a lot of JRPGs on J-Ninty systems, i knew the real DQ boxarts instead of the crappy DW ones, i played Rockman instead of Megaman, and the list goes on), and i remembered when i went to one of my Asian friends to play a Mario Kart match, and instead, i became part of a crowd that was watching this awesomely designed RPG, they told me the name was Chrono Trigger and it was something never seen, and later they told me about the FF-DQ dream team joined together in this game... Chrono Trigger got stuck into our minds...

Interestingly, Mistwalker tried a dream team game this gen (Blue Dragon) but for me, it was not well executed, Lost Odyssey on the other hand is really good, not SNES-PS1 good, but good nonetheless...
