A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

What to play after experiencing Chrono Trigger? (lemm.ee)

Left feeling a bit empty after playing it for the first time a few months ago(why did I wait so long?) I am afraid no JRPG will be able to surpass it. Would love to have a discussion about similar games that reach the same quality level (Note: I have already played Final Fantasy VI ).

I am only a few hours into Chrono Trigger so I don't know what metrics to assess quality but currently Xenogears, not mentioned at the time of this post was my absolute favorite go to game.

Its such a whirlwind of a story, and while the second disk is a bit of a let down playability wise, lots of story and exposition is still there. The last few fights are amazing.

And additionally Final Fantasy XIV, the MMO has one of the best story narratives I've ever experienced across the main game and it's expansions concluding with endwalker last year. I love Xenogears, but if I ever got to wipe my memory to experience something for the first time I'd pick FFXIV. It's a stout 150hrs ish though to get through it though at this point but all soloable/minimal party play.
