Ranking What Was REALLY The Best Video Game Every Year 1990-2021
1995 - Chrono Trigger
An unbelievable year for RPG fans, while Virtua Fighter 2 was advancing the fighting genre by taking things into the realm of 3D, Chrono Trigger dropped as arguably the most overlooked - but still cherished - JRPG of all time.
Alongside Earthbound as the RPG connoisseur's RPG, Chrono Trigger is known as the game developed by the "Dream Team" - that being Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi, Dragon Ball Z artist Akira Toriyama, Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu, and Final Fantasy III and IV designer, Kazuhiko Aoki.
Chrono Trigger would advance every part of the baseline JRPG formula, producing an ostensible one-off that to many, has never been beat.
