Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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: - Brings together two classic Super Nintendo role-playing games
- Retranslated text of Final Fantasy IV more faithful
- Extras mode increases Chrono Trigger's replay value
- New animated "movie" sequences
Cons: - In-game graphics and sounds are quite dated

Customer Reviews
astonishing deal that you simply shouldn't pass up
Even though that most people will overlook this game because it's a PlayStation game that's a re-release of a 16-bit game during a time when we've already moved on to the 128-bit generation, if you're an RPG fan that has yet to play either of these classics, it's a must-have title. With the multiple endings and fantastical game design and lovable characters, Chrono Trigger alone is worth the full price of admission. Add in Final Fantasy IV and you have an astonishing deal that you simply shouldn't pass up. Jody Bissoon

Final Fantasy Chronicles Review
both 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.

No Surprises
Chrono 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).

Chrono Trigger and FF 4 - excellent old school rpgs
Chrono 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 time travel concept
battles that take place directly on the field map, while still being turn based.
Cons
+those 5 second "new" animates scenes are nothing to be excited about, they are short and there are few of them and they dont contribute much, just reiterate stuff..
+the delays before and after each battle, can get anoying.
FFIV was a worthwhile game as well, though it requires some serious grinding at times to progress, which I hate.
