Editorial Review: Product Description: Combining the highly acclaimed titles FINAL FANTASY IV and Chrono Trigger, FINAL FANTASY CHRONICLES offers fans a nostalgic journey back in time to relive a part of gaming history. FINAL FANTASY CHRONICLES features the best original elements of both titles, like groundbreaking epic storylines and memorable casts of characters, along with all new features that will delight every fan. Fans who play FINAL FANTASY IV as FINAL FANTASY II on the Super Nintendo® Entertainment System can anticipate a new and improved version of the game that includes all new CG sequences, improved dialogue, several new gameplay enhancing features, and a greater overall level of challenge. Chrono Trigger fans will be ecstatic to find new animated cut scenes created by Akira Toriyama, the well-known Japanese animation artist and character designer. These captivating, anime-style cut scenes, never before seen in the U.S., flow perfectly with the gameplay and enhance the original storyline, making it perhaps the greatest videogame triumphof all time.FINAL FANTASY IVFive airships speed across the sky. The Red Wings, the air force of the kingdom of Baron , are on their way home after completing a successful raid upon Mysidia for the Water Crystal. Their captain, Cecil, reflects back on this mission, which took place only hours before. Although it was the king's order, Cecil and his men feel guilty about taking the Crystal from the innocent people of Mysidia. But Cecil reminds them that they are the proud and mighty Red Wings of Baron and must always remain loyal to the king. Still torn by guilt, Cecil brings the Crystal to the king of Baron. He starts to leave, but decides to ask the king his intentions. Accused of disloyalty, Cecil is stripped of his command of the Red Wings and ordered to go hunt the Phantom Beast plaguing the Mist Valley northwest of Baron And so begins an epic tale of betrayal, love, and redemption as the dark knight Cecil departs Amazon.com Review: Showcasing enhanced versions of the Super Nintendo classics Final Fantasy IV and Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Chronicles is a must-have "retro" bundle for the serious role-playing game fan. Originally released in the U.S. in 1991 as Final Fantasy II, the groundbreaking Final Fantasy IV introduced the "Active Time Battle" combat system that has since become a staple in the series. In addition to new computer animation sequences and minor gameplay enhancements, this reissue sports a new dialogue translation that is more faithful to the Japanese version and fleshes out the previously pared-down story of a conflicted knight and his quest for redemption. Although not as well known as Final Fantasy IV--and not even part of the Final Fantasy series, for that matter--1995's Chrono Trigger is a nonlinear adventure game where players must travel across time to save a princess (and the world in the process). New Japanese cartoon cutscenes from animator Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragonball Z) grace the updated Chrono Trigger, and an extras mode (filled with game-related goodies that must be unlocked) has been added, increasing the already high replay value of this title with multiple endings. Admittedly, the games' two-dimensional graphics and simplistic sounds are quite "last generation," which may turn off some younger gamers and recent converts to the genre, but their solid gameplay, deep storyline, and memorable characters are still first-rate by today's standards. --Joe Hon Pros:
Amazon.com Product Description: The two classic RPGs in this compilation not only represent hours upon hours of story, character, and action, they also present the background for two recent bestselling, critically hailed games: Final Fantasy IX and Chrono Cross. With all the different names for the original 1991 release of the first title in this compilation (Final Fantasy IV in Japan, Final Fantasy II in the U.S.), role-players new to the game may get confused. Make no mistake, though: Final Fantasy Chronicles marks the first time this pivotal installment of the cherished game series has ever been available on the PlayStation. In Final Fantasy IV, players take on the role of Cecil, a loyal captain who questions the orders of his king, and for it is sent to slay a mysterious beast in a nearby valley. In Chrono Trigger, Chrono must follow princess Marle's teleportation through time and locate her before an intergalactic parasite arrives to destroy the world. The original game, also on the PlayStation for the first time, was one of the first nonlinear role-playing games. The decisions that players make during the game will point them toward one of more than a dozen possible endings. These new versions retain the authentic Japanese SNES stories and characters while updating their graphics and adding new full-motion video sequences and other features. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Final Fantasy Chronicles Reviewboth classic games and EXTREMELY FUN. again if you want more original graphics then go for this one. but Final Fantasy IV will be coming out for the DS really soon. with revamped graphics and some new attributes for the characters. i don't know if they are planning to do the same for Chrono Trigger, but it doesn't matter cause they are both amazing as is. Rating: - No SurprisesChrono Trigger is one of my favorite games of all time. I purchased this set just for the PSX remake of Chrono Trigger with the added animated cut scenes. If you have the SNES version of Chrono Trigger this isn't really necessary unless you really like the game. Fun: 5 stars, Overall: 4 stars (just because FF IV is included and I didn't really want it). Rating: - Chrono Trigger and FF 4 - excellent old school rpgsChrono Trigger's is a great game albiet the very dated graphics. For me, the story, characters and battles were interesting enough to balance out the uninteresting graphics. If you like old school RPGs, you need chrono trigger! But there are weird 8 second lags before and after battles that I personally could be patient enough for but some may not be.. so beware. Pros +Fun. +No nonsense fluff, just good old school rpg fun +Good story +good characters +interesting ...

First, before that, I just want to remark that these two games were perhaps the two of the greatest RPGs to hit the SNES in America. Final Fantasy IV was marketed to the American audience as Final Fantasy 2 and Chrono Trigger is often called the best RPG ever created and has a fan base larger than many of the big hits of today. Final Fantasy IV: ----------------------------- Final ... Read More Rating: - Chrono Trigger & Final Fatasy IV in review This is a 2 game disc for the sony playstation, also plays in the sony playstation 2. Both games are fun and remind me of when I was young and used to play them on the SNES ( super nintendo entertainment system ) I would suggest this game for anyone that is into RPG's. This game is good for all ages, so there is no need for parents to worry about the content their children are getting into. |
