It's a matter of opinion. I think that FTL looks pretty nice while Terraria looks like crap, yet I never grew up with games that looked like that.

BTW, it's not 8-bit graphics. This is 8-bit. Note how everything isn't really shaded. Now compare it to Terraria. 8-bit means there is a 256 colour scheme. Here is the total amount of colours you can achieve on an 8-bit console. While it may seem like a lot, it's not that much if you compare it to what we have today.

Pixel art is the correct term. Terraria and most other games are usually either 16-bit or 32-bit, meaning you can have a more diverse colour scheme.

Most indie games aren't 8-bit, they're usually 16-bit or higher. Of course, there are some that try to be/are 8-bit (Cave Story and VVVVVV comes to mind), and since "8-bit" is fairly easy to copy (quick to make and easy to animate, as the sprites are usually small).

So if you have a limited budget (which 99% of indie devs do), then you'll more likely to get out more content/polish things up if you didn't spend 50 hours doing sprites.

Bottom line is this: most indie games use pixel art, not "8-bit graphics". And whether or not you like it is all up to you, it's your opinion.

Sorry if this came off as ranty, I just find it annoying when somebody gets the two terms mixed up.

All great suggestions, but I haven't seen anyone mention Chrono Trigger

I know they have Chrono Trigger for Android now. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.square_enix.android_googleplay.chrono&hl=en

They also have it for DS. http://www.amazon.com/Chrono-Trigger-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001E27DLM

Other DS games I have liked are The World Ends with You, FF III, FF IV, and Advanced Wars.

u/CoachPop121 · 5 pointsr/rpg_gamers

http://www.amazon.com/Chrono-Trigger-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001E27DLM. Sorry this is considered Chrono Trigger . my bad

Definitely can find it cheaper than this, but link in case you needed it for reference.

u/Notpoe779 · 3 pointsr/PSP

get the DS version. It's as good as the final fantasy 1 psp remake

i'm not joking, there's not even any debate to this, the DS one is flat out the best version

i feel like the people that say any different just didn't play it, there's even an option to not use the second screen so it plays almost exactly like the snes version

get it on DS

here's the amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Chrono-Trigger/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494223980&sr=8-1&keywords=chrono+trigger+ds

new copies are $24 and the shipping is free if you get like another dollar worth of select products, so grab yourself a cheap dvd or something

i'm dead serious, this is the only thing i ever flat out shut people down on when debating

DS port is god tier, get it

u/rahnawyn · 3 pointsr/patientgamers

Did you have an original DS/have you played any of those yet? The DS has a ton of great titles that you can play on your 3DS if didn't start there (or even if you did!)

Here's a long list of random games that you might enjoy:

u/ZeldaFierceDeity · 3 pointsr/gamecollecting

I luckily got it for $22 sealed from amazon prime a year ago. Now its $53 for the same exact thing I got a year ago!

Chrono Trigger https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_E7j0BbECPFQRW

anyone know why it got so rare all of a sudden?

u/wwjcac · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Cool!

I would like it for my brother (in his teens) who broke his when he was 10 or so. He's wanted one for a very long time but my family haven't had the money to spare.

Here is the game.

u/chrono1465 · 2 pointsr/gaming

There are ROMs of it everywhere, but it never made its way to the Nintendo e-Shop. There is a DS version readily available, and there's also an Android version available.

u/EphemeralMemory · 2 pointsr/chronotrigger

Theres two things you can do. Download the ROM data or use Amazon.

Here is the Amazon listing for CT on the DS. I'm not giving a link for the ROM data, because CT is a game you should buy. But, you could theoretically use a R4 cartridge with the ROM data and a micro SD. Emulating the game works too.

But seriously: just buy the game.

u/roushimsx · 2 pointsr/gaming

The DS version is the best one to get. Everything from the PS1 version with all the advantages of the SNES version in addition moving all of the menus to the second screen, a fresh translation, an automap, and run enabled by default. It's fucking excellent.

It's also extremely affordable.

u/BombTheCity · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon
  1. I would fucking love this and you because I have a massive lack of handheld systems and my nexus7 got broken 2 days ago because my dog knocked it off my bed while it was charging.

    2)Chrono Trigger

  2. Radler is rad, rad indeedy
u/Appa_YipYip · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Heyyo!

I'd love the DS because mine broke a long time ago! The charging-area broke, so no chargers could charge it :( I would love to be able to continue all of my DS games that I had to quit :)

This game looks super fun!!!

Radler is rad ! Very rad! Thanks for the contest!

u/Sawta · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Amazon link

Personally, I'm waiting for the price to go down a bit before I buy it, but I wouldn't mind checking it out when it comes down to a more reasonable price. Almost 40$ is just a bit too high in my opinion.

u/GoEnzoGo · 2 pointsr/nintendo

Chrono Trigger DS isn't too expensive on Amazon.

u/PBuster · 2 pointsr/gaming

Best I can do is just tell you that it's $15 at Amazon:

u/rxninja · 2 pointsr/3DS

This probably has something to do with it.

u/kevRoye · 2 pointsr/FinalFantasy

Sorry, technically its a DS port. But yeah. amazon

u/Jordan711 · 2 pointsr/3DS

the DS cartridge is actually on sale on Amazon right now for $20

u/reticentbias · 2 pointsr/gaming

FF tactics is a great one, though it's far inferior to the PSX version.

I can also whole-heartedly recommend Golden Sun, though it's not as deep of an RPG, it's extremely fun. Etrian Odyssey is as hardcore as they come, so it may or may not be your cup of tea. You actually explore and draw your own dungeon maps in it, and the class combinations are nuts.

If you aren't a big fan of JRPGs, you probably won't like The World Ends With You but you'd be doing yourself a great disservice if you skipped it.

There's also Chrono Trigger, which, if you never played it, deserves a chance to be seen. It is definitely an old school JRPG though.

FF3 and FF4 are both great if you like that kind of thing, but if you're not into JRPGs, again, you probably won't enjoy them.

I really loved the most recent Dragon Quest, even though it is decidedly old school and very much a JRPG in the traditional format. But it does a lot of things well, and the class system is deep and rewarding.

Bioware made a Sonic RPG, though I haven't played it so I can't recommend it.

The Castlevania games are all awesome, but they're RPGs like Diablo is an RPG.

u/TheGMan323 · 2 pointsr/3DS

If you like RPGs, you should get Chrono Trigger (DS). It is on sale on Amazon right now.

u/re_mix · 2 pointsr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

The thing I really need right now is a bed frame thing. I have a mattress on the ground with sheets the wrong size >.> But I honestly just want the bed frame. I can deal with the sheets.

I have this one and this one on my wishful thinking wishlist.

EDIT: FFFF I feel bad because those are expensive. I'd be super happy with some Chrono Trigger mostly because, who doesn't love Chrono Trigger?

u/alorian · 1 pointr/tipofmytongue

Could it be Chrono Trigger?

u/Milky_Pantsu · 1 pointr/Games

I was talking physical copy. I don't know if there's a digital version.

Edit: Here's a copy.

By the way, if you want a portable version with faster load speed and a few extras, and don't mind paying a bit more, you could try the DS version for about $30 with shipping.

u/Aerial_Screw · 1 pointr/gaming

Amazon has them new for like $26 ish I believe.

Here you go

Edit: added link

u/Butch_Glitterface · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

I already have Lord Of the Rings but they aren't the extended edition. Chrono Trigger is fantasy right? Imladris

u/icemario10 · 1 pointr/GiftofGames

Nintendo ID: 1stinline (Shitty Name I know)


If there was one game I would want (That is Still Avaliable to buy) it would be Chrono Trigger for the DS I never really got a chance to play it when it came out due to being more intrested in things my peers liked such as Mario or Pokemon, now I have to save my money for the next year or so, so I can't just drop $25 until after the holidays when I get some spending money (Hopefully) but I already have some other games on top of my Priority when they come out. anyways Thank hyou OP for doing this and Have yourself a Very, Merry, Fucking Christmas and Thanksgiving as well.

u/PM_UR_STEAM_KEYS · 1 pointr/3DS

Yes it originally released on snes. Then re-released on ps1, then Nintendo ds. You can still pick up a copy for a reasonable price here on amazon.

u/insanekoz · 1 pointr/gaming

Way too great of a game to miss. If you don't mind playing games with Super Nintendo graphics (I sure as hell don't) Chrono Trigger will hold up today without any problems, though this is also probably due to the stagnant JPRG archetype. But Chrono Trigger is sooo great. Just pick it up for the DS for like $15 on Amazon.

u/raygan · 1 pointr/gamecollecting

Square still produces new copies of Chrono Trigger and it's available new in box for about $20. It's not rare or particularly valuableAmazon has it right now for example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_VXWLzbX6V0XF9

Amazing game. Every DS fan should have it.

u/Neato · 1 pointr/ffxiv

Normal. It came out years ago.

u/Big_Green_Piccolo · 1 pointr/nintendo

Nintendo DS edition is probably the best version. Quick cartridge loading and also contains the anime fmv's from the Playstation 1 version. Best English translation in this version as well. Here's an amazon link. It's $45 there but it's one of the best games of all time.

If that's not obtainable it's on Steam right now. Other versions include SNES (expensive cartridge, like Earthbound), Playstation 1 (paired with a Final Fantasy game). I don't wanna break rule 5 so I'll just say SNES classic edition as well.

u/conman987 · 1 pointr/gaming

I guess it's not as cheap as a VC game, but I point you towards Chrono Trigger for DS my friend. Pretty much the definitive version of the game too. I bought it way back when, no regrets.

u/AWayOut · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

Part 1: I'll probably play Chrono Trigger first since I've heard so many great things about this game and I've just been dying to play it.

Part 2: Since my major interactions with Final Fantasy have been through the Kingdom Hearts series, I'm not familiar with Chocobo's. I am, however, familiar with Moogles (but can't draw) so here's a wonderfully terrible drawing of a moogle!

7 is overrated? I haven't played it so I can't judge.
