Final Fantasy VI's diverse cast has equally varied abilities yet the overarching progression system of equipping magicite in order to learn magic and summon Espers in battle makes it stand out from its predecessors. Of course, we have to discuss these RPGs' gameplay so let's focus on the battle systems. As you can see, Final Fantasy VI's Kefka is one evil dude! Battle systems Because of that, Chrono Trigger wins here. Once it's all over, piecing the world together in your mind after visiting each time period and point of interest such as the lovely Kingdom of Zeal is such a great feeling. Learning tidbits about who is related to who as you explore each breathtaking locale makes for one memorable journey. However, Chrono Trigger is set within a handful of time periods so being able to see how the world evolved over the centuries is astounding. Final Fantasy VI is filled with gorgeous environments, quaint towns, bustling castles, and you get to experience the world in both its Balance and Ruin forms which is mind-blowing. Settings of RPGs can make or break their longevity and both Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger boast massive and varied worlds that are easy to get lost in. Also, the fact that it features so many diverse characters and one of the most iconic antagonists of all time in the form of the insane clown Kefka, it easily wins this category although I highly recommend experiencing both stories.

You can do so in many ways which results in over a dozen different endings.Īlthough Chrono Trigger's delightful cast and epic high stakes time travelling narrative is phenomenal, Final Fantasy VI's story is much more personal and inspiring to me. Anyway, you eventually learn about a massive alien parasite named Lavos who crashed into the Earth many years ago and will destroy the planet in the year 1999 so everyone plans to prevent this from happening. As the adventure continues, they end up travelling to periods that range from prehistoric times to a post-apocalyptic future while meeting a handful of allies including a frog knight simply named Frog, a goofy robot aptly named Robo, a cavewoman known as Ayla, and even a demon king named Magus who you assume is the antagonist early on. Meanwhile, Chrono Trigger stars the silent chum Crono whose friend Lucca accidentally discovers a method of time travel after sending the princess Marle to the Middle Ages. It's such an astounding collection of personalities and their adventure is filled with memorable moments both lighthearted and dire. In my eyes, all 14 playable characters are collectively the heroes and each one is incredibly unique such as the thief Locke, the ninja Shadow, the gambler Setzer, the artist Relm, royal brothers Edgar and Sabin (my personal favourite character), and even a yeti named Umaro. There's no definitive protagonist and many fans argue that it's either Terra or Celes who the focus of the story switches between about halfway through. Final Fantasy VI tells the tale of a ragtag group of allies who unite in the face of true evil with hope remaining in their hearts even after the literal apocalypse occurs. I can talk about these classic RPGs all day so I'll try to keep this brief. Clearly, I'm a long-time fan of both Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger Story and characters When it comes to 16-bit RPGs, Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger are second to none so let's see which of the 2 is superior.
