I've done just about everything and I'm just about to take on Lavos.
I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it's my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).
My notes on my experience this time around.
- so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
- the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
- I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
- the music in Zeal still slaps
- CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
- graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.
Once you finish it, be sure to go back and do a New Game+. There are 13 different endings you can get as a result. There are a few guides you can search for but the nice thing is you can do them all in one NG+ run if you do them in order, they all depend on where in the story you are when you go to fight Lavos. Have fun!
