About this episode
The episode explores the host's first playthrough of Chrono Trigger on its 30th anniversary.
How do you even approach a game hailed as the greatest RPG ever made? How do you begin to talk about something that's had a bar set for it that's so high, nothing could possible live up to the expectations? Well, like this I guess. I played Chrono Trigger for the first time for its 30th anniversary and what I discovered still managed to surprise me. This is the story of my first playthrough of Chrono Trigger.
