Trivia
Magus's three generals, Ozzie, Slash, and Flea, are named after famous musicians: Ozzy Osbourne, former lead singer for Black Sabbath; Slash, guitarist for Guns n' Roses; and Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Goofs
The cover art of the box art for the USA Super Nintendo version shows Marle casting a Fire spell, but she cannot do this as only Lucca as that ability. Marle can only cast Ice spells.

Quotes
Magus: If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh.

Crazy credits
In addition to the two main endings, of which there are two versions, depending on whether you attacked Lavos with the Epoch or not, there are also ten additional endings, most of them light and goofy, that can be accessed by the bucket in the End of Time or Lucca's Telepod, at various points during the game. However, since Lavos is incredibly hard, you should only attempt this with the New Game+ option, after you have beaten the game.

Alternate versions
In late 2008 a version was released on the Nintendo DS that featured new animated clips in the game and some changes in the story.

Time-Traveling at it's finest.

Chrono Trigger... The best RPG (second to Final Fantasy III) for

the Super Nintendo. Nothing is as challenging, thought-provoking... and fun than this little devil from the gods of RPG, Squaresoft. The storyline is impressive and heart-gripping, the masterful art design of Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame astounding and the uniqueness of battle that seems to be in place.

My favorite attacks, Dual Tech. This attack is very powerful and eye-catching and adds a hint of greatness in battle. Example: Falcon Toss. Ayla tosses Crono (The hero) up and Crono slashes his sword (kamehameha style) to his enemies. Then there's Tech attacks, like Robo's Robo Tackle or Frog's Leap Slash. That's pretty darn good in attacks and stuff.

The music is heartwrenching and superb too.

Chrono Trigger will live in the minds of players and DB watchers alike. I can't wait until Chrono Trigger is re released on Playstation, Reason: NEW FMV CUT SCENES, made by Akira Toriyama and his creative crew at Bird Studios. Until then... Play some more Final Fantasy VIII.
