I've done just about everything and I'm just about to take on Lavos.

I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it's my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).

My notes on my experience this time around.

so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
the music in Zeal still slaps
CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.

I guess all I HAVE to do still is get through the Black Omen. I was trying to knock out all the side quests, but it got to that point where it was more a chore than fun. Haven't touched the game in weeks. Maybe I'll wrap it up this weekend.

I was playing on an emulator many years ago as a teenager and I had done nearly everything except fight Lavos. There was a thunderstorm outside, and wouldn’t you know it, it killed the power and corrupted my save file. I’ve start over once or twice, but I still to this day have not actually beat the game. 😞

I played this on DS in college about a decade ago. To this day it's one of the very few JRPGs that I feel absolutely nailed the pacing. Every other JRPG, as much as I enjoy the genre overall can really drag in that department and start feeling tedious at certain points in the game.
