Pros: This game has about 50 ways to entertain you at any given time. At minimum, you're trying to kill the baddies and beat the level. You're probably also trying to collect the fruit/jewels before your playing partner does. Or you're being a team-player and chasing after the "EXTEND" letters & hunting down the magic umbrella. At maximum, you're grabbing the speed shoes and racing to the wall to blow meaningless bubbles against the wall to accumulate marginal points.

I like that they have infinite continues, all sorts of crazy ways to destroy enemies (umm ... a bible? magic cookie potion?), and a bunch more levels if you beat the game the real way (hint: level 99).

And like everyone else mentioned, the music ROCKS! On top of that, these two lovable dinosaurs have been syndicated everywhere, like puzzle fighter.

Cons: Level 57 is IMPOSSIBLE. I've beaten the game and gotten to the real ending. I can probably beat the last boss without losing a life, all while playing via the reflection of a mirror. But I still have no systematic way for beating level 57.

Pros: The first major evolutionary step to modern-day RPGs with in-depth character storylines (e.g. Rydia). This game had a great mix of music (no RPG game fan could ever forget the intro theme melody), plot, and spells/abilities ('metron', 'throw', 'twin'). And you end up on the moon, crazy!

The cheats were pretty nice (and crucial), e.g. duplicating Excalibur a few dozen times. The graphics were pretty good for the times, and it was just another excellent game in the FF series.

Cons: I feel like this is a pretty challenging game if you don't know the cheats & can't find the Crystal Sword. I've also been told by others that I just suck at video games and that the last boss was a piece of cake. To that, I ask, "How about all those Behemoths on the last level?"

Cons: Agree with bonbon143, NO CONS -- I've played & beaten this game ~10 times in my life. At 60 hours each, that's a combined 600 hours =...

Pros: Seeing the game box cover brings back fond memories. No RPG has come close to this game. Correction: No game has come close to FF3 (6 in Japan).

Storyline: You travel across an entire world while making new allies. You finally end up having a show-down on a floating island, where 3 goddesses destroy the world. And then you end up traveling across the entire world again, re-collecting all your lost comrades and finding new purpose in life. That's right, it's pretty much 2 games in 1, and both games have better storylines than most. At one point, your mission is to select the right lines in a musical opera -- this game has humor, romance, friendship, everything.

Characters: I've played this game so many times that I've renamed all the characters all sorts of crazy things (I named 'Mog' after one of my best friends, aka 'lostmybrakes', and 'Edward' after another one, 'pkchen'. Oh, of course I named 'Sabin' after myself :P).

Special abilities: Each character had their own customized special abilities, which meant the game never got old. Unlike other RPGs, where everyone uses the same ridiculous spell by the end of the game, I stuck with the individual abilities: Sabin's Bum Rush, dual-equipped Terra and used morph, and Mog's Moogle Charm. (Fine, I admit that I did also use Ultima and equip Economizers, but still.)

Anyway, I could go on and on about this game, but it'll be the best 60 hours you ever spend in front a gaming console/platform -- especially if you're wasting it away on 'Angry Birds'.

Cons: Agree with bonbon143, NO CONS -- I've played & beaten this game ~10 times in my life. At 60 hours each, that's a combined 600 hours = 25 SOLID twenty-four-hour days that I've played this game.

Pros: This.game.was.amazing!!! Honestly, what doesn't this game have? Time travel? Check. Short-cut to beat the game in the first 10 minutes?...

Cons: That it wasn't Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the U.S.)? I can hardly blame this game for not standing up to the best RPG ever, but the combination...

Pros: This.game.was.amazing!!! Honestly, what doesn't this game have?

Time travel? Check.
Short-cut to beat the game in the first 10 minutes? Check.
Great music? Check.
Customized abilities for each player? Check.
Dual-player combos? Check!
Triple-player combos?! Check!!
Re-start the game at insane power levels?!! Check!!!

Cons: That it wasn't Final Fantasy 6 (3 in the U.S.)? I can hardly blame this game for not standing up to the best RPG ever, but the combination of these 2 games raised RPGs to levels unmatched to this day. That's right, FF7 has nothing on Chrono Trigger... If only some of this great game play rubbed off on Chrono Cross, ugh.
